                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

                             March 31, 1997 and 1996

(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements of Paravant
      Computer Systems,  Inc. (the "Company" or "Paravant"),  have been prepared
      in  accordance  with  the  instructions and requirements of Regulation S-B
      and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for
      a  fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
      flows  in conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles. In
      the   opinion   of   management, such  financial  statements  reflect  all
      adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
      for  a  fair  statement  of financial position,  results of operations and
      cash flows  for the interim periods  presented.  Operating results for the
      interim  periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
      expected for the full fiscal year.

      These  condensed  financial  statements  and  footnotes  should be read in
      conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal
      years ending  September 30, 1996 and 1995 included in the Company's Annual
      Report  on  Form  10-KSB  as  filed  with  the   Securities  and  Exchange
      Commission.  The accounting  principles  used in preparing these condensed
      financial statements are the same as those described in such statements.

(2)   INVENTORY

      The following is a summary of inventory at March 31, 1997:

                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(3)   STOCK OPTIONS

      On November 29, 1996,  the Company  granted  options  under its  incentive
      stock option plan to employees to purchase 208,000 shares of the Company's
      common  stock  at  an  exercise  price  of  $5.125  per  share,  which was
      the market price of the shares at the date of issuance.

      On February 27, 1997, the Company  granted  options under its  nonemployee
      director  stock  option plan to purchase  15,000  shares of the  Company's
      common stock at an exercise price of  $6.00  per  share,  which   was  the
      market price of the shares at the date of issuance.

(4)   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

      Earnings (loss) per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss)
      by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted
      average number of shares outstanding have been determined  assuming shares
      and options issued  subsequent to March 31, 1997 were  outstanding for the
      periods presented.  When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included
      as common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted
      earnings  per common share  amounts did not differ from  amounts  computed
      under the primary  computation  for the  periods  ended March 31, 1997 and
      1996.


(5)   FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
      In   February 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting   Standards  Board  issued
      Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  128, "Earnings  per
      Share."  Statement  128  supersedes  APB  Opinion  No.  15,  "Earnings per
      Share,"  and  specifies   the  computation,  presentation, and  disclosure
      requirements for  earnings  per  share ("EPS") for entities with  publicly
      held common stock or  potential common stock. Statement  128 was issued to
      simplify  the  computation  of EPS. It requires dual presentation of basic
      and diluted EPS on the face  of the income statement for all entities with
      complex  capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
      and  denominator   of  the  basic  EPS  computation  to  the numerator and
      denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
 
      Statement  128  is effective for financial  statments for both interim and
      annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier  application is not
      permitted. After adoption, all prior EPS data  presented shall be restated
      to conform with Statement 128. The Company does not expect the adoption of
      Statement  128  to  have  a  material impact on the EPS data that has been
      presented.

(6)   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      In April 1997,  the Company  renegotiated  the terms of its line of credit
      arrangement  with  a  bank.   Under  the  new terms,  all  borrowings bear
      interest at the bank's prime rate or at the 30 or 60 day LIBOR plus 2.70%.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1997 vs. March 31, 1996

        Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $3,196,218, an
increase of $2,236,610 or 233% over the quarter ended March 31, 1996 revenues of
$959,608. This increase is primarily due to Paravant's strong backlog
($11,046,871 at March 31, 1997) and continued full scale production deliveries
to Raytheon in support of the U.S. Marine Corps HAWK/AVENGER Air Defense
missile system upgrade and additional requirements of Lockheed Martin's Enhanced
Diagnostic Aid ("EDNA") systems for use by the U.S. Air Force on F-16 Fighter
Aircraft.

        Gross profit was Sl,530,456 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, or 48%
of sales, compared to $133,876 or 14% of sales in the quarter ended March 31,
1996, a total increase of $1,396,580 or 1,043%. This increase in gross
profitability reflects a return to the Company's annual historic gross profit
levels (45% and 46% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 
respectively) as compared to the low revenue levels and related adverse
manufacturing variances associated with the very low levels of operations, in 
the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

        Selling and administrative expenses of $1,169,938 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, increased by $687,750 or 143% from the quarter ended March 31,
1996 expenses of $482,188. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative
expenses were 37% and 50% in the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increased selling and administrative costs are due primarily
to increased sales commissions directly attributable to the increased
sales discussed earlier herein, increased professional fees and increased
expenditures for Research and Development.

        Income from operations improved to $360,518 for the quarter ended March
31, 1997 from a loss of $(348,312) in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, an
improvement of $708,830. As a percentage of sales, income from operations
improved to 11% in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from a loss of (36%) in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996. The improvement in income/(loss) from operations
overall resulted primarily from increased revenues and gross profits,
offset in part by increased selling and administrative expenses as discussed
above.

        Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was reduced by
$75,977 or 78% to $21,080 compared to $97,057 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996. As a percentage of sales, interest expense decreased to 1% in the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 from 10% in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. This decrease
is due to a significant decline in outstanding credit balances made possible by
application of a portion of the proceeds of the Company's initial public
offering of securities in June, 1996 (IPO).

        As a result, the Company's net income improved by 184% to $232,908 in
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 when compared to a loss of $(277,837) in 1996
an increase of $510,745 in total. Net income as a percentage of sales was 7%
in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and net loss as a percentage of sales was
(29%) in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The improvement in net income
overall resulted primarily from increased revenue and gross profits, offset
in part by increased selling and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Six months ended March 31, 1997 vs. March 31, 1996

       Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1997 were $5,127,310, an
increase of $3,402,248 or 197% over the six months ended March 31, 1996
revenues of S1,724,882. This increase is primarily due to Paravant's strong
backlog ($11,046,871 at March 31, 1997) and continued full scale production
deliveries to Raytheon in support of the U.S. Marine Corps HAWK/AVENGER Air
Defense missile system upgrade and additional requirements of Lockheed Martin's
Enhanced Diagnostic Aid ("EDNA") systems for use by the U.S. Air Force on F-16
Fighter Aircraft.

        Gross profit was $2,407,421 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, or
47% of sales, compared to $592,971 or 34% of sales in the six months ended
March 31, 1996, a total increase of $1,814,450 or 306%. This increase in gross
profitability reflects a return to the Company's annual historic gross profit
levels (45% and 46% for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively) as compared to the low revenue levels and related adverse
manufacturing variances associated with the very low levels of operations in
the six months ended March 31, 1996.

        Selling and administrative expenses of $2,167,921 in the six months
ended March 31, 1997, increased by $759,264 or 54% from the six months ended
March 31, 1996 expenses of $1,408,657. As a percentage of sales, selling and
administrative expenses were 42% and 82% in the six months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The increased selling and administrative costs are due
primarily to increased sales commissions directly attributable to the
increased sales discussed earlier herein, increased professional fees and
increased expenditures for Research and Development.

        Income from operations improved to $239,500 for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 from a loss of $(815,686) in the six months ended March 31, 1996,
an improvement of $1,055,186. As a percentage of sales, income from operations
improved to 5% in the six months ended March 31, 1997 from a loss of (47%) in
the six months ended March 31, 1996. The improvement in income/(loss) from
operations overall resulted primarily from increased revenues and gross
profits, offset in part by increased selling and administrative expenses as
discussed above.

        Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was reduced by
$156,909 or 71% to $65,293 compared to $222,202 in the six months ended March
31, 1996. As a percentage of sales, interest expense decreased to 1% in the six
months ended March 31, 1997 from 13% in the six months ended March 31, 1996.
This decrease is due to a significant decline in outstanding credit balances
made possible by the proceeds of the Company's IPO in June, 1996.

        As a result, the Company's net income improved by 119% to $125,349 in
the six months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to a net loss of $(648,176) in
1996 an increase of $773,525 in total. Net income as a percentage of sales was
2% in the six months ended March 31, 1997 and net loss as a percentage of sales
was (38%) in the six months ended March 31, 1996. The improvement in net income
overall resulted primarily from increased revenue and gross profits, offset in
part by increased selling and administrative expenses as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        In June 1996, the Company completed its IPO, resulting in aggregate net
proceeds of $4,594,332 to the Company after deducting certain commissions,
expenses and offering costs. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of
the IPO to repay certain loans referred to below in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,102,294, and paid approximately $88,000 of the net proceeds of the
IPO to reimburse UES, Inc., an affiliate of the Company which is controlled by
Krishan K. Joshi, the Company's Chairman ("UES"), for certain health insurance
and other expenses paid on the Company's behalf. Substantially all of the
remaining balance of the net proceeds of the IPO were utilized to reduce
indebtedness then outstanding under the Company's revolving credit arrangement
with National City Bank in Dayton, Ohio described below, resulting in increased
availability under the credit arrangement for working capital needs and general
corporate purposes.

        The Company has a secured revolving credit arrangement with National
City Bank in Dayton, Ohio (the "Bank") for a credit line of up to $4,000,000
that is due on demand and bears interest at the prime rate, or 30 or 60 day
LIBOR rates plus 2.70%. All borrowings are collateralized by accounts
receivable, inventory and equipment. As of March 31, 1997, an aggregate of
$300,000 was outstanding under this arrangement. The Company intends to maintain
this arrangement with the Bank for the foreseeable future, although there can be
no assurance that the Bank will not in the future demand repayment of any
amounts then outstanding under its loan arrangement. The Company also has a
secured term loan provided by the Bank bearing interest at a rate adjusted
monthly to prime plus 1.5% at March 31, 1997. Monthly principal payments of
$9,167 are due through October 1998. All borrowings thereunder are secured by a
lien on accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. As of March 31, 1997,
there was approximately $174,153 outstanding under this arrangement with the
Bank. The Company also has capital lease obligations of $192,679 at March 31,
1997. These capital lease obligations bear interest rates of 1.25% to 1.50% over
the prime rate and are expected to be satisfied within 3 years.

        As of March 31, 1997, the Company also has a note payable to the Bank in
an aggregate principal amount of $500,000, bearing interest at the prime rate,
which note is due and payable in March 1998. On April 22, 1997, this note was
paid in full.

        In August 1995, the Company borrowed $400,000 pursuant to bridge notes
("Notes") from a group of private investors at an annual interest rate of 6%. In
addition, the Company sold to the same investors warrants to purchase 480,000
shares of Common Stock, exercisable until June 3, 2001 at an exercise price of
$2.00 per share. The Notes, which bear interest at 6%, have an outstanding
balance of $5O,000 at March 31, 1997.

        In connection with certain sales of shares of common stock in March 1996
by UES Florida, Inc. (a subsidiary of UES), Richard P. McNeight, the President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, William R. Craven, the Vice
President of Marketing of the Company, and another shareholder, such
shareholders loaned to the Company in April 1996, for working capital purposes,
the sums of $646,294; $78,000; $26,000 and $52,000, respectively, or an
aggregate of $802,294 of the proceeds realized from such sales, at an interest
rate of 6% per annum. Such loans, plus accrued interest thereon in an aggregate
amount of $8,681, were repaid in June 1996 in accordance with their terms from a
portion of the net proceeds of the IPO.

        The Company has, and continues to have, a dependence upon a few major
customers for a significant portion of its revenues. This dependence for
revenues has not been responsible for any unusual fluctuations in operating
results in the past, and management does not believe this concentration will
generate fluctuations in operating results in the future. However, the potential
impact of losing a major customer without securing offsetting and equivalent
orders could result in a significant negative impact to the operating results of
the Company. The gross margin contributions of

                                       12



<PAGE>
<PAGE>


the Company's major customers are not generally different than those from its
other customers as a whole.

        The Company's operating cash flow was $809,662 for the six months ended
March 31, 1997. The improvement in the Company's operating cash flow results
primarily from improved net income as more fully described in Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Operations for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1997 and improved working capital as more fully presented in the
Condensed Statments of Cash Flows for the same period. Negative cash flows for
the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, $(1,426,090) and $(298,577),
respectively, were primarily associated with general increases in inventory
levels and temporary increases associated with accounts receivable, all in 
support of the Company's rapid increase in operations reflected by the growth
in annual revenues from $4,621,527 in fiscal 1993 to $10,495,063 in fiscal 
1996, an increase of almost 127%. In addition, the Company invested $281,109
in the six months ended March 31, 1997, $127,352 in fiscal 1996 and $60,350 in
fiscal l995 to acquire manufacturing equipment also in support of these
expanded operating levels.

        Due to the Company's orders related to U.S. Department of Defense
procurements, the operations of the Company have been cyclical and has 
historically resulted in a significant increase in deliveries and revenues in
the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending on September 30. Due to the
Company's strong backlog and increased revenues, this cycle is less significant
in first six months of the current fiscal year, resulting in a significant 
improvement in cash provided from operations, as discussed earlier herein and
less significant changes in inventory levels than the prior period.

        As of March 31, 1997, management believes inventory balances are not in
excess of requirements for deliveries and normal minimum stocking levels.

        Generally, accounts receivable at the end of each quarter are collected
within the following quarter. However, the Company's major customer, Raytheon,
has traditionally averaged approximately 80 to 100 days in satisfaction of
outstanding accounts receivable balances. This situation is improving through
negotiation with Raytheon, and Management believes that average outstanding
balances will be reduced to more traditional levels approximating 45 days, in
the future although there can be no assurance of such. The Company's total
outstanding account receivable balance of $5,042,475 at March 31, 1997 has been
subsequently reduced by approximately $2,900,000 in cash collections.
Notwithstanding this condition, the Company has not been required to write off
any significant bad debt in the past, and management does not believe that any
significant accounts receivable at March 31, 1997 are likely to be
uncollectible.

        As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's backlog was $11,046,871 and
$6,161,843, respectively, consisting of firm fixed price purchase orders. All of
these purchase orders are expected to generate profits within the Company's
historical levels and the Company believes that the completion of the orders
comprising its backlog, and any new orders which may be accepted by the Company
in the future, should not result in additional liquidity pressures which cannot
be addressed in a manner consistent with the Company's past practices. The
Company presently expects to manufacture and deliver most of the products in
backlog within the next 12 months.

        The Company anticipates, based on its currently proposed plans and
assumptions relating to its operations, that the proceeds of the IPO, which was
consummated in June 1996, together with estimated working capital from
operations and other sources of funds, will be adequate to sustain operations
for at least a 24-month period after the IPO. As the Company continues to grow,
additional bank borrowings, other debt placements and equity
offerings may be considered, in part or in combination, as the situation
warrants. In addition, in the event the Company's plans change or its
assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if projected cash flow
otherwise proves insufficient to fund operations, the Company might need to seek
other sources of financing to conduct its operations. There can be no assurance
that any such other sources of financing would be available when needed, on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

                          3. Borrower is to furnish Bank a quarterly certificate showing that it

                          4.  Borrower is to maintain  adequate  levels of hazard  insurance  on
                          pledged  assets with evidence of insurance  delivered to Bank prior to
                          first disbursement. Bank must be listed as loss payee and/or mortgagee
                          on policies.

                          5. Third parties  should in no way rely on this letter and the Bank is
                          not liable for any  actions  taken by a third  party  because of their
                          reliance on this letter.
</TABLE>

As is our normal  practice, the  continued  availability  of  credit  under this
reporting line of credit will be contingent upon the Borrower's maintenance of a
sound financial condition and a satisfactory relationship with the Bank.

This  agreement  supersedes Borrower's loan application to Bank  and  all  other
prior oral and written understanding between Bank  and  Borrower  with regard to
the transactions provided for herein.

If this facility is accepted by the Borrower but  not consummated, this  letter,
