              NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    March 31, 1998

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
     have been prepared by Eltrax Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Eltrax") 
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to 
     the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
     Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information 
     and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements 
     have been condensed or omitted.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, consisting only of
     those of a recurring nature, and disclosures to present fairly the
     financial position as of March 31, 1998 and the results of operations and
     cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The condensed
     consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eltrax Systems,
     Inc. ("Eltrax") and its subsidiaries, Nordata, Inc. and Four Corners
     Technology, Inc. ("Four Corners").  Effective January 1, 1998 all other
     subsidiaries of the Company were merged into Eltrax Systems, Inc. 
     Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
     
     The Company's financial statements for the period ended March 31, 1997 
     have been restated from those included in the prior year first quarter 
     financial statements to reflect the merger with EJG Techline, 
     Incorporated ("Techline").  Techline results are included for all 
     periods presented resulting from the merger with Techline in a 
     pooling-of-interests transaction on May 14, 1997.  
 
     The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from 
     audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all 
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  For 
     further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
     footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB 
     for the year ended December 31, 1997.

2.   LINE OF CREDIT

     The Company's line of credit agreement contains certain restrictive 
     covenants, including, maintaining a current ratio of at least 1.1:1.0, 
     maintaining an indebtedness ratio of no greater than 1.3:1.0, meeting 
     certain targets for earnings after taxes, interest, depreciation, 
     
                                         -5-

     and amortization as well as certain reporting covenants.  For the 
     quarter ending March 31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with 
     the current ratio and quarterly positive earnings covenant.  At the 
     Company's request, the bank has waived its rights related to these 
     events of non-compliance through March 31, 1998.  The Company has 
     classified these borrowings as current as there is no assurance that 
     they will continue to comply with these covenants in 1998.
     
3.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Income (loss) per share is determined by dividing income (loss) by the 
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Common stock 
     equivalents represent shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of 
     dilutive stock options and warrants.  Common stock equivalents have been 
     excluded from loss per share calculations as their inclusion would be 
     antidilutive.
     
4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     In September 1997 the Company issued twenty-three warrants for 1,050,000 
     shares with an exercise price of $6.25 per share together with 1,050,000 
     shares of common stock in a private placement.  The warrants contain a 
     call feature which allows the Company to call each warrant for $.25 if 
     the Company's common stock trades above an average of $8.25 for 10 
     consecutive days.  In April, the Company's common stock did trade above 
     the threshold amount and on April 28, 1998 the Company notified the 
     holders that the warrants were being called.

     The holders of the warrants have 20 days after this notification to 
     either exercise the warrants or notify the Company of their intent to 
     exercise, or the warrants can be called at $.25. The Company has agreed 
     to allow the holders to defer the actual exercise of the warrant until 5 
     days after the underlying shares have been registered.  Should all 
     warrant holders convert their warrants into common stock, the Company 
     would receive approximately $6,500,000 in exchange for an additional 
     1,050,000 shares of common stock.

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

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Company's written and 
oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive 
officer constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
as amended, and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be 
subject to the safe harbors created thereby.  The words "believe," "expect" 
and "anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. 
These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current views with 
respect to future events and financial performance, but are subject to many 
uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's operations and business 
environment which may cause the actual results of the Company to be 
materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such 
forward-looking statements.  Examples of such uncertainties include, but are 
not limited to, changes in customer demand and requirements, new product 
announcements, interest rate fluctuations, changes in federal income tax laws 
and regulations, competition, industry specific factors and world wide 
economic and business conditions.  For a more comprehensive list of 
uncertainties, see the section entitled "Certain Important Factors" in the 
Company's Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The 
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any 
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future 
events or otherwise.

                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1997:

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by 
$4,713,000 to $14,975,000 as compared to revenue of $10,262,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from the 
acquisition of several companies subsequent to the first quarter of 1997.  
Revenue at the Company's existing Southeastern and Western Regions also 
increased from the prior year by approximately $2,500,000.  Offsetting these 
increases were the sales of the Company's Datatech subsidiary which decreased 
by almost $5,000,000 from the prior period due to the closing of all 
remaining Datatech operations by March 31, 1998. 

The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 22.4% 
compared to 17.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in 
gross profit margin resulted from higher margins at the businesses acquired 
subsequent to the first quarter of 1997 as well as improved margins at 
existing operations.  
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                        -7-
<PAGE>

Operating expenses increased by $1,238,000 to $3,446,000 compared to 
operating expenses of $2,208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 
The increase in operating expenses resulted primarily from the inclusion of 
the companies acquired in 1997, operating expenses at the Company's Network 
Operating Center as well as increased corporate costs reflecting the 
Company's continued growth activites.  These increases were offset by reduced 
operating expenses related to the wind-down of Datatech.
 
Net interest expense of $98,000 in the current quarter was higher than the 
expense of $46,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The 
increase is due to increased working capital requirements in 1998.

                            PRO FORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS
     
SELECTED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected unaudited pro forma financial data should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes thereto 
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis."  The unaudited pro forma 
financial data is derived from unaudited financial statements of the Company 
that are not included herein.  The pro forma results are not necessarily 
indicative of future results.

The following discussions describe the Company's summary results as if the 
Four Corners Technology, Inc., Hi-Tech Connections, Inc., DataComm 
Associates, Inc., and Telecom Associates, Inc. acquisitions (which were 
consumated at various dates throughout 1997) had taken place as of the 
beginning of the three month period ended March 31, 1997.

COMPARISON OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 
1998 AND 1997

Total pro forma revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased 
by $229,000 to $14,975,000 compared to pro forma revenue of $15,204,000 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The decrease is due primarily to the 
reduced 1998 Datatech revenue which dropped by almost $5,000,000 from 1997.  
Offsetting this increase was higher revenue in all of the remaining regions.

                                   -8-
<PAGE>

The gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 was 22.1% which was slightly higher than the 20.3% pro forma 
gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The increased 
margin resulted from the reduced proportion of Datatech sales which carried a 
lower margin than the remaining sales. 

Pro forma operating expenses increased slightly by $16,000 to $3,446,000 
compared to pro forma operating expenses of $3,430,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997. 
                                      
                           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The level of cash and cash equivalents decreased by $125,000 from $366,000 at 
December 31, 1997 to $241,000 on March 31, 1998.  The Company's short-term 
borrowings under its bank line at State Street increased by $202,000 to 
$4,946,000 at March 31, 1998.  The availability under the credit line is 
limited to the Company's borrowing base, which is a function of certain 
accounts receivable and inventories.  At March 31, 1998, the borrowing base 
was approximately $7,100,000.  

Cash used for operating activities was $241,000 for the first three months of 
1998 reflecting the $187,000 net loss offset by approximately $169,000 of 
non-cash charges and a increase in other working capital items of $223,000. 
Accounts receivable increased by $581,000 reflecting higher sales in February 
and March. This increase was offset by a decrease in inventory of $495,000 as 
the Company continues to reduce its investment in inventories.

Cash provided by financing activities of $238,000 was primarily related to an 
increase in the bank line as well as minor stock issuances upon the exercise 
of stock options.
 
Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Company issued a notice calling in 
warrants for 1,050,000 shares of common stock.  The Company expects that the 
warrant holders will convert their warrants which will result in net cash 
proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,500,000.  These funds will be 
used to pay down the outstanding credit line, with the remainder being used 
for general corporate purposes.  The Company anticipates that these funds, 
together with its existing line of credit arrangement, will be sufficient to 
fund both short-term and long-term working capital requirements.
