             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                 JUNE 30, 1997
            (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
 
1. OWNERSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     ORBIT/FR, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated in Delaware on December 9,
1996, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orbit Alchut Technologies, Ltd., an
Israeli publicly traded corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Parent").
The Company develops, markets, and supports sophisticated automated microwave
test and measurement systems for wireless communications, satellite, automotive,
and aerospace/defense industries. The Company sells its products to customers
throughout Asia, Europe, Israel, and North and South America.
 
     On December 31, 1996, as part of a corporate restructuring and in exchange
for 4,000,000 shares of the Company, the Parent transferred or caused to be
transferred to the Company, all of its issued and outstanding shares of two of
its subsidiaries, Orbit Advanced Technologies, Inc. ("Technologies"), a Delaware
corporation established in 1985, and Orbit F.R. Engineering, Ltd.
("Engineering"), an Israeli company incorporated on December 29, 1996. Both of
these subsidiaries are responsible for the microwave test and measurement
business. Prior to its incorporation on December 29, 1996, Engineering operated
as a separate division of the Parent. Effective January 1, 1997, the personnel
formerly employed in the microwave test and measurement division of the Parent
are employed by Engineering.
 
     The consolidated results of the Company reflect Technologies and
Engineering on an as-if pooled basis for businesses under common control for all
periods presented in 1996. Further, the recapitalization of these businesses on
December 31, 1996 has retroactively been restated for common stock for all 1996
periods presented.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Interim Financial Information
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The consolidated financial statements and
footnotes should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form
10-Q and the Company's Form S-1 Registration Statement, filed on June 17, 1997
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which included the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
  Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  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 amounts in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
 
            (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
 
  Net Income Per Share
 
     Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents (stock options) outstanding during
the period. The common shares outstanding for all 1996 periods have been
restated to reflect the corporate restructuring described in Note 1.
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement No.
128 on the calculation of the Company's primary and fully diluted earnings per
share is not expected to be material.

            (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
 
8.  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
     On June 17, 1997, the Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission whereby 2,000,000 shares of its common
stock were offered and sold at $8.25 per share (less underwriting discounts and
commissions). The Company generated net proceeds of $14,190 in connection with
this offering.
 
9.  ACQUISITION OF ADVANCED ELECTROMAGNETICS, INC.
 
     On June 17, 1997, contemporaneously with the completion of the Company's
public offering of its common stock, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Advanced Electromagnetics, Inc. (AEMI) (a manufacturer of
anechoic foam) for a maximum purchase price of $1,600, subject to adjustment on
AEMI's financial performance for the three years ended March 31, 1997. One-half
of the final purchase price will be paid in cash and the other half will be paid
by the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock valued at the initial
offering price of $8.25. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and
accordingly, the results of operations from June 17, 1997 through June 30, 1997
are included in the Company's results of operations. The purchase price has been
preliminarily determined to be $1,377 at June 30, 1997 and has been allocated to
the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair market values ($450 of the
purchase price was paid in cash on June 20, 1997). The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $887 is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over twenty years.
 
     The following unaudited proforma information represents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company and AEMI for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, as if the acquisition had occurred at the
beginning of 1996:

10.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The financial results of Engineering in the 1996 periods include all
contract revenue of the microwave test and measurement business unit of the
Parent, direct contract costs, direct personnel costs, electrical and mechanical
production services in an amount equal to the Parent's cost of providing such
services plus 5% and pro rata allocations of administrative expenses from the
Parent to Engineering. Such allocations of administrative expenses are based on
management's estimate of the level of these expenses required to support
Engineering, relative to the reasonable allocation of such costs. Interest
expense on intercompany debt has not been provided.
 
     Note payable -- Parent reflects the amount due to the Parent for the net
working capital required by Engineering. At December 31, 1996, the balance of
$2,722 was converted into a three year, non-interest bearing promissory note
payable due in 1999.
 
     Effective January 1, 1997, Engineering and the Parent entered into an
agreement, whereby Engineering will purchase from the Parent electrical and
mechanical production services. Engineering will pay the Parent the cost of
providing such services plus 5%. The Parent will provide other administrative
services, including but not limited to, bookkeeping, computer, legal,
accounting, cost management, information systems, and production support for a
fixed amount of $360 during 1997. This amount will be evaluated and determined
on an annual basis. Engineering is leasing office space from the Parent on an
annual basis, for a rental of $51 per year.

</TABLE>
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
 
     Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $10.2
million compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of approximately $6.9 million or 206%. Revenues from microwave test and
measurement accounted for all but $200,000 of this increase. Approximately $3.2
million of the increase was attributable to the aerospace/defense industry which
resulted from an improvement in the Company's ability to capture opportunities
within that industry following the acquisition of Flam & Russell with some
growth in the industry's domestic commercial sector. Approximately $1.7 million
of the increase was attributable to the wireless communications industry, $1.1
million of the increase was attributable to the satellite industry, $400,000 of
the increase was attributable to the automotive industry and $300,000 from the
operations of Advanced Electromagnetics, Inc., ("AEMI") accounted from the date
of acquisition.
 
     Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997
were $6.3 million compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996, an increase of approximately $4.1 million or 183%. Gross margins rose from
33.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 38.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, as a result of increased efficiencies in the Company's solution,
design, production and installation stages, as well as an increasing use of the
Company's standard off-the-shelf components in its turnkey systems. Cost of
revenues and gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were negatively
impacted by the completion of a $540,000 revenue contract with a relatively low
gross margin which the Company assumed when it acquired Flam & Russell.
 
     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $683,000 compared to a $451,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $232,000 or
51.4%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   12
 
from 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 6.7% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 due to an increase in revenues without a corresponding
increase in general and administrative expenses.
 
     Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 were $546,000 compared to $300,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $246,000 or 82.0%. As a
percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 5.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease from 9.0% for the six months ended June
30, 1996. Approximately $112,000 of this increase represented higher commissions
due to increased sales, while approximately $99,000 reflected the addition of
the Flam & Russell sales force and approximately $35,000 was attributable to
increased market research and recruiting efforts.
 
     Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $466,000 compared to $246,000 for the
six months ending June 30, 1996, an increase of $220,000 or 89.0%. This increase
reflected the additional development relating to the modification of the Flam &
Russell software to support the Company's software and hardware products for the
Company's solution for the wireless and automotive markets.
 
     Income taxes. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$810,000 compared to $46,000 for the six months June 30, 1996, an increase of
$764,000. The Company's effective tax rate decreased from 37.4% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to 35.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as a
result of the implementation of new domestic and international tax strategies
designed to reduce its effective tax rate.
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996
 
     Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $5.3
million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an
increase of approximately $3.5 million or 194.7%. Revenues from microwave test
and measurement accounted for all but $200,000 of the increase. Approximately
$1.2 million of the increase was attributable to the aerospace/defense industry
which resulted from an improvement in the Company's ability to capture
opportunities in this industry following the acquisition of Flam & Russell,
along with some moderate growth in that industry. Approximately $800,000 of the
increase was attributable to the fast growing wireless communications industry,
$600,000 of the increase was attributable to the satellite industry, $400,000 of
the increase was attributable to the automotive industry, and $300,000 of the
increase was attributable to the AEMI operations.
 
     Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was $3.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996, an increase of approximately $2.0 million or 177.6%. Gross margin rose
from 37.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to 40.9% for the three
months ended June 30,1997, as a result of increased efficiencies in the
Company's solution, design, production and installation stages, as well as an
increasing use of the Company's standard off-the-shelf components in its turnkey
systems.
 
     General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $364,000 compared to a $256,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $108,000
or 42.2%. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses
decreased from 14.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to 6.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 due to an increase in revenues without a
corresponding increase in general and administrative expenses.
 
     Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 were $273,000 compared to $188,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of approximately $85,000 or 45.2%. As a
percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 5.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease from 10.4% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. Approximately $47,000 of this increase represented higher
commissions due to increased sales, while the remainder reflected the addition
of the Flam & Russell sales force.
 
     Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $246,000 compared to $149,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   13
 
$97,000 or 65.1%. This increase reflects the additional development and
improvement of the software and hardware components for the Company's solution
for the wireless and automotive markets.
 
     Income taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997
was 466,000 compared to 26,000 for the three months June 30, 1996, an increase
of $440,000. The Company's effective tax rate went from 34.2% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to 35.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Historically, the Company has satisfied its working capital requirements
through cash flows from its operations. The Company has two working capital bank
lines of credit aggregating $2,150,000, increased in June 1997 from $1,150,000.
At June 30, 1997, no amounts under these lines were outstanding. These lines of
credit are renewable annually in April, bear interest at rates ranging from 0.5%
to 1.5% over the bank's prime rate and are secured by accounts receivable. The
line of credit agreements require the Company to comply with certain financial
performance covenants of which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 1997.
At June 30, 1997, the Note Payable to Parent of $2,722,000 represented a three
year, non-interest bearing note owed by ORBIT/FR Engineering, Ltd., the
Company's Israeli subsidiary to Orbit-Alchut Technologies, Ltd., the majority
shareholder of the Company for the transfer by Alchut of working capital at the
end of 1996.
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months amounted
to $1,034,000 in 1997 versus $406,000 in 1996. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities in 1997 compared to 1996 was principally due to the
increase in net income to $1,451,000 in 1997 from $77,000 in 1996.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities increased to $1,278,000 in 1997 from
$1,132,000 in 1996. This increase was principally due to the net assets acquired
from AEMI.
 
     Net cash provided by in financing activities in 1997 amounted to
$15,378,000 versus $782,000 in 1996. These changes were principally due to the
proceeds raised in connection with the Company's initial public offering of
$14,784,000, net of offering expenses paid.
 
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred an obligation
for approximately $1,377,000 for the AEMI acquisition of which $450,000 was paid
on June 20, 1997. Upon finalization of the AEMI purchase price, the total
obligation will be paid one half in cash and one half in common shares at the
initial public offering price of $8.25 per share.
 
     During 1997, the Company also plans to incur capital expenditures of
approximately $400,000, a portion of which will be used to establish the
Company's European office, along with improving the Company's hardware and
software tools, and by investing in information systems for the Company and its
subsidiaries.
 
     The Company has exposure to currency fluctuations as a result of billing
certain of its contracts in foreign currency. When selling to customers in
countries with less stable currencies, the Company bills in U.S. dollars. For
the six months ended June 30, 1997, approximately 5% of the Company's revenues
was billed in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Substantially all of the costs
of the company's contracts, including costs subcontracted to Alchut, have been,
and will continue to be, U.S. dollar-denominated except for wages for
Engineering employees which are denominated in local currency. The Company
intends to continue to enter into U.S. dollar-denominated contracts.
 
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
 
     The Company does not believe that inflation or seasonality has had a
significant effect on the Company's operations to date.
