                          Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors
Paravant Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Engineering
Development Laboratories, Incorporated and Signal Technology Laboratories, Inc.
as of September 30, 1998, and the combined statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the nine
month period ended October 4, 1997. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Engineering
Development Laboratories, Incorporated and Signal Technology Laboratories, Inc.
at September 30, 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the year ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine month period ended
October 4, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                             September 30, 1998

(1)   Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)  Reporting Entity

           The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts
           of Engineering Development Laboratories, Incorporated ("EDL") and
           Signal Technology Laboratories, Inc. ("STL"). EDL is a closely-held
           corporation with three stockholders. EDL owns 56% of the voting
           common shares of STL, with the remaining shares of STL owned by
           three other stockholders. EDL, STL and their stockholders
           are partners to an acquisition agreement (see Note 12) with Paravant
           Inc. whereby EDL and the business operations of STL are being sold to
           Paravant Inc. The accompanying financial statements have been
           prepared on a combined basis rather than consolidated since the
           minority stockholders in STL are also parties to the acquisition
           agreement. The intercompany transactions and balances between EDL and
           STL have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

      (b)  Business

           EDL designs, develops and produces military electronic hardware,
           primarily related to airborne and avionics systems for the United
           States Department of Defense. STL designs, develops, and produces
           hardware, primarily related to electronic signal conditioning and
           analysis, for foreign and domestic intelligence agencies.

           The principal customers of EDL and STL are United States Government
           agencies and contractors who are subject to federal budgetary
           implications.

           During 1997, EDL and STL changed their fiscal year end from the
           Saturday nearest to December 31, to the Saturday nearest to
           September 30, using a 52-53 week year. During 1998, EDL and STL
           changed their fiscal year end to September 30.

      (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents

           For purposes of the combined statements of cash flows, all highly
           liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
           months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

      (d)  Revenue Recognition

           EDL and STL use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting
           for fixed price contracts in progress. Accordingly, revenues are
           recognized in the ratio that contract costs incurred are to estimated
           total contract costs. Losses expected to be incurred on contracts are
           charged to operations in the period such losses are determined.

                                                                   (Continued)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                              September 30, 1998

           Federal government contracts costs, including indirect expenses, are
           subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency
           ("DCAA"). Contract revenues have been recorded in amounts which are
           expected to be realized upon final settlement. In management's
           opinion, adjustments resulting from any DCAA audit for 1998 or years
           prior to 1997 will not have a material adverse effect on the
           combined financial position or the results of operations.

      (e)  Inventory

           Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the
           first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method.

      (f)  Investments

           Investments are classified into one of three categories which
           determines their carrying value. These categories are as follows:

               Held-to-maturity - securities for which there is the positive
               intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized
               cost.

               Trading - securities that are purchased and held for the purpose
               of selling in the near term and generating profits on short-term
               differences in price are carried at estimated fair value and any
               unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the combined
               statements of income.

               Available-for-sale - all other securities not classified as
               held-to-maturity or trading securities are carried at estimated
               fair value and any unrealized holding gains and losses are
               recorded as a net amount in a separate component of equity, net
               of related deferred income taxes, until realized.

           For the year ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine month period
           ended October 4, 1997, all investments were classified as
           available-for-sale.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                              September 30, 1998

      (g)  Property and Equipment

           Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over the
           estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method.

      (h)  Income Taxes

           EDL has elected treatment as a small business corporation under the
           S-Corporation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. No provision
           for income taxes has been included in the accompanying statement of
           income for the operations of EDL since the S-Corporation earnings are
           included in the individual income tax returns of EDL's
           stockholders. However, STL is taxed as a Subchapter C corporation and
           therefore accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
           method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
           future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
           financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
           liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
           credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
           measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
           in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
           recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
           liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
           period that includes the enactment date.

      (i)  Use of Estimates

           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
           liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
           the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
           revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
           could differ from those estimates.

                                                                   (Continued)

(4)   Note Payable to Bank

      EDL has a secured $1,500,000 revolving line of credit available with a
      bank. Unpaid balances bear interest at .25% above the bank's prime rate
      (7.5% at September 30, 1998). Collateral related to this line of credit
      includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and furniture and
      fixtures. The line of credit agreement contains restrictive covenants
      and reporting requirements which include net worth and debt to equity
      ratio minimums. As of September 30, 1998, borrowings outstanding under
      this line of credit totaled $225,000 (see Note 13).

(5)   Leases

      EDL and STL have operating leases for office and manufacturing space with
      initial terms of three years. The leases provide for the lease terms to be
      extended to five years, with an option for an additional three years at a
      two percent rate escalation. Total rent expense under operating leases was
      approximately $196,000 and $186,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998
      and for the nine month period ended October 4, 1997, respectively. Future
      minimum lease payments under the operating leases are $188,000 and $21,000
      for the years ending September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

      In June 1998, EDL and STL entered into a mutual commitment to build and
      lease additional office and manufacturing space under new terms which
      become effective upon completion of the construction. The minimum lease
      payments under the new agreement will be as follows:

      Deferred income taxes as of September 30, 1998 reflect the impact of
      "temporary differences" between amounts of assets and liabilities for
      financial statement purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. The
      temporary differences give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities
      which are summarized below as of September 30, 1998:

                              September 30, 1998

      A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more
      likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
      not be realized. Realization is dependent upon the generation of future
      taxable income or the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the
      periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
      considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected
      future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this
      assessment. As of September 30, 1998, no valuation allowance has been
      recognized in the accompanying combined financial statements for the
      deferred tax assets because management believes that sufficient
      projected future taxable income will be generated to fully utilize the
      benefits of these deductible amounts.

(7)   Concentration of Credit Risk

      EDL and STL have a high concentration of revenues from a few customers who
      accounted for 99% and 71% of revenues for the year ended September 30,
      1998 and for the nine month period ended October 4, 1997, respectively. A
      summary of revenues from customers exceeding 5% of revenues for the year
      ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine month period ended October 4,
      1997 is as follows:

</TABLE>


(8)   Benefit Plans

      EDL and STL have defined contribution 401(k) plans that cover all
      full-time employees 18 years or older. EDL and STL currently match 50%
      of employee contributions up to 10% of compensation. EDL and STL provided
      matching contributions of approximately $131,000 and $73,000 for the year
      ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine month period ended October 4,
      1997, respectively.

      EDL and STL have also established deferred compensation plans for certain
      employees. EDL has two plans whose provisions provide deferred
      compensation equal to 50% of base salary for certain employees and 12% of
      base salary for certain other employees. No employee contributions are
      required for the EDL plans. STL has a plan whereby the employees can defer
      up to 10% of their base salary. STL will then match any deferrals on a 3
      for 1 basis. The amount expensed by EDL and STL was approximately $443,000
      and $289,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine month
      period ended October 4, 1997, respectively. Amounts are payable upon
      retirement, termination of employment, death or disability. Substantially
      all of the amounts expensed by EDL and STL were disbursed prior to
      September 30, 1998.

(9)   Stock Redemption Agreement

      EDL and STL have stock redemption agreements with their stockholders
      whereby if the stockholder desires to sell their stock the stock must
      first be offered for sale to the Company. The agreements provide for a
      price based upon book value as stated in the latest interim financial
      report. The Company, however, may decide not to purchase the stock and the
      holder may then offer it to any potential buyer.

                                                                    (Continued)

                     September 30, 1998 and October 4, 1997

(10) Product Warranties

     EDL and STL have warranted certain items in their contracts with the United
     States Government. Management believes it has sufficient residual material
     available to provide any needed parts and an employee is available on
     site to provide needed service. Management has provided for estimated
     future warranty costs as part of contract costs.

(11) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of EDL and STL's receivables, current liabilities and
     deferred compensation approximates their fair value because of the short
     maturity of those instruments.

(12) Subsequent Events

     On March 31, 1998, STL and the stockholders of EDL entered into an
     agreement ("Acquisition Agreement") to sell the common stock of EDL and
     substantially all of the business and operating assets of STL to Paravant
     Inc. ("Paravant").

     The Acquisition Agreement was subsequently approved by the shareholders of
     Paravant. On October 8, 1998, EDL distributed its shares in STL to EDL
     stockholders. Paravant purchased all of the outstanding voting common
     shares of EDL and STL of Ohio ("New STL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
     Paravant, purchased substantially all of STL's operating assets, excluding
     certain cash, accounts receivable and unbilled work-in-progress on active
     contracts of STL. STL simultaneously entered into an agreement to
     subcontract the completion of its active contracts with New STL. The
     subcontract agreement provides for New STL to pay STL a management fee of
     2% of subcontract revenues.

     On October 8, 1998, under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, STL and
     the stockholders of EDL received approximately $8.7 million in
     cash, an 8% three year $4.8 million note, 3,950,000 shares of
     Paravant's common stock and a contingent cash earn-out payable over
     five years based on the future profits of EDL and New STL.

     In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the line of credit was
     repaid and cancelled. Paravant simultaneously entered into an agreemenet
     with its primary lender to enable Paravant, EDL and New STL to
     collectively borrow up to $14 million at a variable rate of interest tied
     to the prime rate, which at October 8, 1998 was 7.5%.

                      Notes and Management's Assumptions to

                   Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)   Basis of Presentation

      The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 and the
      pro forma consolidated income statement for the year then ended have been
      prepared to reflect the pro forma effect of the acquisition. These pro
      forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared utilizing the
      historical financial statements of the Company and the historical combined
      financial statements of EDL and STL (collectively "EDL") and should be
      read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
      accompanying notes of the Company and EDL. The pro forma consolidated
      balance sheet was prepared as if the acquisition occurred on September 30,
      1998 and the pro forma consolidated income statement was prepared as if
      the acquisition occurred on October 1, 1997. The pro forma information is
      not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results which
      would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated as of
      September 30, 1998 and October 1, 1997, respectively, nor does it purport
      to represent the future financial position or results of operations for
      future periods. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to
      reflect the effects of the acquisition have been made.

(2)   Method of Accounting

      Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and costs incurred in connection with
      the acquisition are recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The
      amounts allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based
      on management's estimate of their fair values with the excess of purchase
      price over fair value of net assets allocated to goodwill.

      All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company
      and EDL have been eliminated in the pro forma consolidated financial
      statements.

(3)   Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

      The following describes the pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the
      pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 as if the
      acquisition was consummated on such date.

      (a) Represents the distribution of the excluded assets of STL, which
          consists of certain STL cash, STL accounts receivable, STL unbilled
          receivables and STL current liabilities.

      (b) Represents consideration paid through issuance of 3,950,000 shares of
          common stock at the estimated share price of $1.50, payment of
          $8,700,000 in cash, funded through borrowings under the Company's line
          of credit, and issuance of $4,800,000 in promissory notes. The
          Company's investment in EDL also includes $576,850 of transaction
          costs previously recorded in other assets and accrual of $230,298 of
          estimated additional transaction costs.

      (c) Represents accrual of $633,897 built in gains tax resulting from the
          distribution of STL shares to EDL shareholders.

                                                                     (Continued)

                      Notes and Management's Assumptions to

                   Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

      (d) Represents allocation of purchase price to tangible assets acquired,
          goodwill and non-competition agreements and the elimination of
          Paravant's investment in EDL.


(4)   Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Income Statement

      The following describes the pro forma adjustments included in the pro
      forma consolidated income statement for the year ended September 30,
      1998 as if the acquisition was consummated as of October 1, 1997.

      (a) Represents amortization of goodwill over a 10 year period and
          intangible non-competition agreements over an 8.5 year period and the
          related income tax benefit of deducting amortization of goodwill and
          non-competition agreements associated with STL only.

      (b) Represents interest expense incurred in connection with promissory
          notes issued and additional draws on the Company's line of credit in
          connection with financing the acquisition and the related income tax
          benefit of deducting interest expense. Interest on the promissory
          notes and line of credit has been calculated using interest rates of
          8.0% and 8.5%, respectively.

      (c) Represents additional income tax incurred as a result of EDL changing
          from an S corporation to a C corporation.

      (d) Represents issuance of 3,950,000 shares of common stock upon
          consummation of the acquisition.

      There were no pro forma adjustments in the pro forma consolidated income
      statement for the year ended September 30, 1998 resulting from working
      capital items excluded from the acquisition. STL historically has
      distributed substantially all of its earnings in the form of dividends.
