O  ACQUISTION DURING THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
   -------------------------------------------------

      Effective April 1, 1996,  Symetrics acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of American Digital Switching, Inc. ("ADS") in exchange for 214,065 shares
of Symetrics, or approximately 13% of the outstanding capital stock of Symetrics
after the exchange,  and $35,000 in cash. The transaction has been accounted for
under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.  Accordingly, the condensed
consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 include the combined operations of the Companies. The
condensed  consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 includes the combined
assets and  liabilities  of the two Companies  and is derived from  consolidated
audited financial statements at that date. The weighted average number of common
shares  outstanding  used in the computation of earnings per share for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996  includes the shares  issued by Symetrics in
the exchange.

                           QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

            For the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997  consolidated  contract
revenues  for  Symetrics  Industries,  Inc.  and  subsidiary,  American  Digital
Switching,  Inc.  (ADS)  were  $6,401,809,  a  6.9%  decrease  compared  to  the
$6,879,405 for the  corresponding  period last year. For the current three month
period,  consolidated  net income of  $176,183,  or $0.11 per share is  reported
compared to $441,020,  or $0.28 per share, a year ago. Working capital increased
by  $693,827,  or  19.5%,  for the three  months.  The  backlog  closed at $16.3
million, as compared to $13.4 million at June 30, 1996.

      The 6.9% decrease in contract  revenues for the current  quarter  reflects
the  comparison  to the higher than average  volume of business in the Company's
Defense  Products  Division  for the first  quarter  of last year.  The  current
quarter's  defense  related  revenues  are in  line  with  last  year's  average
quarterly results. The decrease in net income is attributed in part to the lower
business volume, but is primarily due to increased  marketing and administrative
expenses at ADS to support the introduction of its new Centura TM Central Office
system.  Financial performance,  for the current quarter, in the Company's other
three divisions, Defense Products, Contract Manufacturing and Computer Telephony
Systems was consistent with the results  achieved in the  corresponding  quarter
last year.  Non-defense  related  revenues for the current quarter were 33.5% of
total revenues compared with 28.0% for the corresponding  quarter last year. The
increase in backlog at June 30, 1997  resulted from awards in June 1997 totaling
$9.9 million for 179 new Improved Data Modems (IDM) and 507 IDM memory upgrades.

      A comparison of the current quarter ended June 30, 1997 to the immediately
proceeding quarter,  shows contract revenues were 41.3% higher at $6,401,809 for
the current quarter versus $4,539,848 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The increase is due  primarily to  additional  revenues  from the  Company's IDM
contract.  Net income for the current  period was $176,183  significantly  lower
than the $289,520 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The decrease is
primarily due to the increased general and administrative expenses at ADS during
the current  quarter which offset the gross margin from the Company's  increased
business  volume,  and a year-end tax adjustment  which resulted in a low income
tax rate for the immediately preceding quarter.  Income before taxes for the two
quarters was  essentially  the same.  Backlog at June 30, 1997 was $16.3 million
versus $9.8 million at March 31, 1997.

      Referring  to the  balance  sheet,  the  Company  had a $693,827  or 19.5%
increase in working capital  facilitated by the $1,132,501 increase in long term
debt, to help finance the ongoing  development  of the Centura TM Central Office
Telephone system. The increase in accounts receivable of $ 1,567,645 at June 30,
1997  reflects  large  progress  billings  primarily for  electronic  components
purchased for the Company's IDM contract.

These purchases, and materials purchased for the initial Centura shipments, were
primarily  responsible for the substantial  increase in accounts payable.  These
IDM  components  purchases  were also part of the work in process  inventory and
consequently the largest factor in the increase at June 30, 1997 in the cost and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. The increases
in inventory of $265,528 at June 30, 1997 was due to the substantial increase in
materials  purchased  and work in process  inventory  for the  upcoming  Centura
shipments.  The increase in product  development  costs at June 30, 1997 was the
capitalization of additional  research and development  expenses for the Centura
switch. The decrease in accrued liabilities reflects primarily product shipments
of $159,176 that were previously part of advance billings.
