         Effective April 1, 1996, Symetrics acquired 933,334 (approximately 95%)
of the outstanding common stock of American Digital  Switching,  Inc. ("ADS") in
exchange for 207,399 shares of Symetrics'  common stock or approximately  13% of
the outstanding  capital stock of Symetrics after the exchange.  The transaction
has been  accounted  for under  the  pooling-of-interest  method of  accounting.

Companies.  The  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet  as of March  31,  1996
includes the combined assets and liabilities of the two Companies and is derived
from  separate  audited  financial  statements  of the  Companies  at that date.
Similarly,  the condensed  consolidated  statements of income and cash flows for
the periods ended December 31, 1995 presented  herein for comparative  purposes,
includes the combined  operations  of the  Companies as if the  combination  had
occurred at April 1, 1995.  Such  statements  were  derived  from the  unaudited
interim  financial  statements of the separate  Companies.  The weighted average
number of common  shares  outstanding  used in the  computation  of earnings per
share for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996 includes the
shares issued by Symetrics in the ADS acquisition.

                         QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

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

         For the nine months ended  December 31, 1996,  contract  revenues  were
$18,634,480 a 8.2% increase over the  $17,225,808 for the  corresponding  period
last year.  For the current nine month  period,  net income was  $1,466,943,  or
$0.91 per share,  including  $353,853  (net of income  taxes) or $0.22 per share
resulting  from the gain on  exchange  of  property  in the  acquisition  of the
Company's new facilities in Melbourne,  Florida,  Net income (excluding the gain
on exchange of property) was  $1,113,090 or $0.69 per share, a 34% increase over
the  $827,713  or $0.52 per share,  a year ago.  Working  capital  increased  by
$563,038 for the nine months. The backlog closed at $9.8 million,  compared with
the $9.6 million at December 31, 1995 .

         The  increase  in  contract  revenues  for the  current  nine months is
attributable to growth in the Company's commercial products that generated 28.6%
of the total revenue.  The increase in net income for the current nine months is
attributed to continued profitability of the Company's Defense Products Division
and the  incorporation of American  Digital  Switching's  financial  performance
which has the effect of  reducing  the  Company's  consolidated  net income last
year.  The higher  general and  administrative  expense is due to the  continued
marketing  emphasis  on  the  Company's  products.   The  reduced  research  and
development  costs are attributed to capitalizing  American Digital  Switching's
(ADS)  development  expenses  for fiscal 1997 which will be  amortized  over the
anticipated quantity of Centura TM 2000 systems and subsystems to be sold. Prior
to fiscal year 1997 these  development  costs were  expensed as incurred by ADS.
Increased interest expense resulted from the continued financing requirements of
American Digital  Switching for the  developmental  phase of the Centura TM 2000
telephone  switch.  The  $580,087  gain  on sale of  property  reflects  the tax
deferred  exchange of the Company's  previous property in the acquisition of the
new facility on NASA boulevard.

        Referring  to  the  Balance  Sheet,  the  Company's  combined  cash  and
receivables,  less the accounts payable are significantly lower due to increased
research  and  development  costs  for the  Centura  TM 2000  switch  as well as
marketing  expenses  attributed to the Company's  commitment to foster growth in
it's commercial divisions.  Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted  contracts increased primarily due to the booking of cost related to
ongoing  Defense  Products  and  Contract  Manufacturing  programs  which  as of
December  31,  1996 were  unbillable  due to timing of customer  invoicing.  The
increase in inventory  reflects  American  Digital  Switching's  procurement  of
electronic  components  and  production of  assemblies  which are to be utilized
primarily  toward  fulfillment  of  backlog.  Other  current  assets  increased,
reflecting a upward  adjustments in the current portion of deferred income taxes
as well as a the prepaid expense accounts.  The increase in property,  plant and
equipment  reflects  primarily  the  acquisition  of the new  facility  for $1.8
million and also capital purchases for manufacturing  equipment. The increase in
long-term debt and the current  maturities  portion reflect the American Digital


                                       -6-

Switching continued financing requirements for the development of the Centura TM
2000 telephone  switch and $552,724,  fifteen year note for the new facility.The
capitalized  development  expenses  in fiscal  year 1997 for the Centura TM 2000
telephone  switch are  classified  under other assets on the  Company's  balance
sheet.  These  capitalized  developmental  expenses will be amortized to cost of
goods sold as  shipments  of the  Centura  TM 2000  telephone  switching  system
commence.  An increase in notes payable to $300,000 reflects use of an unsecured
line of credit by the Company to take prompt payment discounts . The increase in
billings in excess of costs and estimated  earnings on uncompleted  contracts in
fiscal  year 1997  reflects  primarily  the  advanced  payment by  customers  of
American Digital Switching.

         The estimated  corporate income tax for the three months ended December
31, 1996 of $529,749 has been  accrued and is reflected on the balance  sheet as
$243,455  (net of  estimated  payments)  income  tax  payable.  The  non-current
deferred tax  liability of $226,234  resulted from the exchange of the Company's
previous facility as part of the acquisition of the new facility.

         For the three months ended  December 31, 1996,  contract  revenues were
$5,900,494,  a 17.3% increase over the $5,028,388 for the  corresponding  period
last fiscal year. The net income for the current period of $698,782 or $0.43 per
share,  includes $353,853 (net of income taxes), or $0.22 per share, on exchange
of  property.  Net income from  operations  of $344,929 or $0.21 per share,  was
40.5%  higher  than the  $245,507 or $0.15 per share for the  comparative  three
month  period  last  year.  These   improvements  are  attributed  to  continued
profitability  on the  Company's  Improved  Data Modem (IDM)  contract  with the
Government  as  well  as  the  incorporation  of  American  Digital  Switching's
financial   performance   which  had  the  effect  of  reducing  the   Company's
consolidated net income last year.

         A  comparison  of the current  quarter  ended  December 31, 1996 to the
immediately  preceding  quarter,  shows contract  revenues at $5,900,494 for the
current  quarter were  essentially  the same as $5,854,581  for the three months
ended  September 30, 1996. Net income from  operations of $ 344,929 was slightly
higher than the $327,141 of the immediately  preceding  quarter.  Backlog at the
end of the  current  quarter was $9.8  million  compared  with $10.4  million at
September 30, 1996.
