                       NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      In the opinion of the Registrant, the unaudited financial information
in this report reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, which are considered necessary to a fair presentation of the results
of the periods shown.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC
regulations.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Registrant's
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

(2)      Income per common share is computed by dividing the net income for the
year, as adjusted for preferred dividend requirements, by the weighted average
number of common shares and any dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. 
The effects of the assumed conversion of the 4% convertible preferred stock,
which is a common stock equivalent, and the 9% convertible preference stock have
not been included in the computation of income per share in any year or quarter 
presented because such effects were either immaterial or antidilutive.

(3)      The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         The Company provides management and technical services in systems
planning, management and analysis, systems engineering, naval architecture,
marine engineering, ordnance engineering, logistics analysis and engineering,
operations analysis, design development, reliability engineering and analysis,
hazardous materials reduction studies, computer systems analysis, office
automation, information management systems and related support services.  The
Company also provides hardware integration and fabrication.

         The Company currently has three principle contracts with the U.S. Navy.
These prime contracts are the Underway Replenishment (UNREP); Management,
Planning and Analysis (MPA); and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
(NAME).
         
         UNREP provides in-service engineering support to the U. S. Navy Fleet.
This contract has a total value of over $8,000,000 and was issued by the 
U. S. Navy's Port Hueneme Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center.  The UNREP
Program was extended into the last of its three option years on August 30, 1996.
The Company anticipates the Navy will soon authorize the UNREP project to
undertake the prototype development of the Vertical Launch Missile Rearming and
Strikedown System for replenishing the standard missile and shipboard Tomahawk
missile while underway.  SYS has been a major contributor to this important
program.

                                   -6-
<PAGE>


         The MPA program supports the U. S. Navy's Port Hueneme Division, Naval
Surface Warfare Center.  This $16,000,000 contract accounted for over fifty
percent of the Company's revenues in this past fiscal year and the contract
ceiling was increased $1,000,000 in the base year to accommodate the workload
demand.  This Program had its first of four option years exercised on 
February 1, 1996.  The Statement of Work provides a broad and flexible scope of
work which allows a wide range of tasking.  SYS has developed work competencies 
in such areas as Management Consulting, Informations Services, Human Resource
Services, Combat Systems Engineering and Facilities Engineering.  The MPA
program has received customer recognition for its high standards of excellence
and professionalism.  Continued growth of this Program area is anticipated.
         
         The NAME Program is the Company's newest contract, it was awarded on
April 22, 1996.  This contract was issued by the U. S. Navy's Port Hueneme
Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center and will run into the year 2001.  This
cost plus fixed fee contract consists of a base year and four (4) option years
with a total potential value over the five years of $12,500,000.  SYS will
provide a wide range of Combat Systems Engineering and weapons capabilities
developed in support of Ship Self Defense Systems (SSDS).  This award was a
result of a strategic teaming effort with John J. McMullen Associates, Inc.
Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.
         
         The Company also has two other growing business areas.  The Company
provides the Naval Air Systems Command engineering and technical services which
focus on the identification and reduction of hazardous material when providing
maintenance to weapons and associated handling and shipping equipment. The
Company's Washington D.C. operations continues to provide important 
administrative financial services as a subcontractor including case closures all
of which are in support of Foreign Military Sales Programs.

         Preparation has been started for bidding to the U.S. Navy as a team
member for the planning, engineering test and installation of systems for Ship
Self Defense.  Request for proposals from the Navy are expected in the Company's
second quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company revenues for the first quarter of FY 1997 are approximately
10% higher than those in the same quarter in FY 1996. The revenue increase is 
due to a 39% increase in work on the MPA contract and the start of work on the 
new NAME contract.  Revenue on the UNREP contract was 32% below the same period 
in 1995, however, revenue for this fiscal year is still expected to be above the
prior year.   The profit for the quarter is $76,000 as compared to $26,000 for 
this quarter in the prior year.  The negotiated contract backlog was 
approximately $3,520,000 at the end of the quarter.

         The Company's bank loan decreased to $169,000 at the end of the first
quarter of FY 1997.  At the end of the same period in FY 1996, the note balance
was $439,000.

                                   -7-

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company had contract receivables (net) of $1,164,000 at the end of
the first quarter of FY 1997.  For the same quarter in FY 1996, the contract
receivables (net) were $1,030,000.

         The Company had accounts payable of $377,000 at the end of the first
quarter of FY 1997.  For the same quarter in FY 1996, the accounts payable were
$525,000.

         The Company maintains a $500,000 revolving credit facility with
Scripps Bank which matures on August 30, 1997.  The loan is secured by all the
Company's assets including contract receivables.  Scripps advances funds
requested by the Company of up to 75% of the Company's billed contract
receivables which are less than 90 days old.  Scripps charges an interest rate
of 1.5% over prime.

         The Company anticipates no significant commitments for Capital
Expenditures other than computer related hardware and software required.  The
Company believes that its cash flow from operations and available bank
borrowings will be sufficient to satisfy the current and anticipated capital
requirements for operations.

                               PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         As reported in the Company's 1996 10-KSB, the lawsuit filed by the
Company against its former General Council for legal malpractice and breach of
fiduciary duty resulted in a jury verdict that the Company's attorneys were
negligent and awarded the Company damages of approximately $4,000.  The Company
filed a Notice of Appeal from the Judgement and Order on this verdict. 
Subsequently, post trial motions by the parties under Section 998 of California
law yielded court rulings in July 1996 that the Company was liable for
approximately $145,000 of the defendants costs.

         In November 1995, a creditor of Systems Exploration, Inc. (SEI) filed
a breach of contract action against the Company in California Superior Court. 
The Company maintains it has no liability to this plaintiff with respect to this
matter and intends to vigorously defend this action.


ITEM 2.     CHANGES IN SECURITIES

            On October 11, 1996, the Company issued an aggregate of 105,000 
shares of the Company's Common Stock (no par value) to three employees 
pursuant nonqualified stock option and purchase agreements (the "Agreements") 
entered into between the Company and each of the employees. The shares issued 
are subject to the Company's right to repurchase a portion of them in
the event that the employee's employment is terminated within three years.
