                            INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1)	The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contained herein 
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the 
opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the 
three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The results of 
operations for the interim periods contained herein are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year.  

2)	Refer to the Company's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the 
Year Ended June 30, 1996, for a description of accounting policies, which 
have been continued without change.  Also, refer to the Notes included in 
those Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of the 
Company's financial condition, results of operations and changes in financial
position.

4)	Net earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed by 
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and 
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent 
shares consist of common stock which may be issued upon exercise of 
outstanding stock options.  For the three-month periods ended September 30, 
1996 and 1995, weighted shares were 4,527,000 and 4,509,000, respectively.

ITEM 2 --	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
	         FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which reflect 
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks 
and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those 
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of 
factors.  Forward-looking information provided by DBA Systems pursuant to 
the safe harbor established by recent securities legislation should be 
evaluated in the context of these factors.

Business Environment

The defense industry continues to experience numerous mergers and 
consolidations of companies doing business with the Federal Government, and 
this trend is expected to continue for the immediate future.  In addition, 
the Federal Government continues to decrease and scrutinize its spending in 
the high technology and defense areas.  As a result, competition for 
available contracts in the Company's business areas is intense.  In response,
the Company has significantly reduced its current and long-term liabilities 
and reduced indirect cost, thereby reducing its indirect overhead rates. 
Additionally, the Company has focused its primary marketing efforts in areas 
where it has been the most successful and will attempt to translate its 
success into commercial areas where its core technologies apply.  The Company
will continue to pursue this strategy during fiscal year 1997 with increased 
competitiveness as its primary goal.

Reduction in the Department of Defense budget, continued Congressional and 
regulatory oversight of the Government procurement process, increased 
competition within the Company's traditional market niches, and the current 
Government procurement policy to award contracts based primarily on price and
not exclusively on technical capabilities are all factors which may have a 
material effect on the Company's future operating revenues and profit margins.
The Government's decisions of whether to exercise options presently held 
by the Company under existing contracts may also have an impact on the 
Company.  These trends may result in delays in previously anticipated 
contracts or the loss of anticipated business to competitors.  As a result, 
the reported financial information may not necessarily be indicative of the 
Company's future financial condition or operating results.

Significant Event

The Company had a $12.5 million contract with Advanced Medical Management 
Systems, Inc. (AMMS) for the production and exclusive worldwide distribution 
of its ImagClear(TM) medical digitizers.  On August 10, 1995, the Company filed 
suit in the U.S. District Court to recover liquidated damages which arose 
from nonperformance of the contract by AMMS.  On October 3, 1996 the court 
awarded DBA a favorable judgment against Mr. Bob Wilson, the principal 
financial backer of AMMS, for $9,375,000 plus attorney fees.  In DBA's 
opinion, collection on this judgment is problematic. The Company is 
proceeding with plans to bring the medical digitizers to market through 
partnership with another entity.

Results of Operations

During the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, DBA recorded revenues
of $6,293,000, up $1,393,000 from the $4,900,000 recorded in the comparable 
three-month period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in revenues was 
primarily attributable to new work on the Common Imagery Ground/Surface 
System (CIGSS) contract award for $8.8 million received in June 1996.  
The start of this contract has created a higher pass through of 
<PAGE>6
material costs as well as a limited amount of increase in the level of direct 
labor.  The new project win on the CES program with TRW has also resulted in 
additional direct labor.   Operating income was $534,000 during the current 
three-month period, up $301,000 from  $233,000 in the comparable period in 
the prior fiscal year.  The current quarter's operating margin was 8.5% as 
compared to the operating margin of 4.8% in the prior year's comparable 
quarter.  The increase in operating margin was attributable primarily to 
successful completion of the Company's multi-year Avenger contract with the 
Boeing Company, from which it was awarded the 1995 Subcontractor of the Year,
Small Business Administration Region IV Award.  Revenues and earnings due to 
the Company's two long-time successful core business programs, Proprietary 
Image Exploitation and Tactical Image Exploitation, remain strong and are 
expected to continue as such for the foreseeable future subject to the 
vagaries of defense funding.    

During the three-month period ending September 30, 1996, the Company recorded
new business bookings of $2,133,000 as compared to $4,235,000 in the prior 
year.  As a result, the backlog at September 30, 1996 was approximately 
$24,306,000, down $4,094,000 as  compared to the June 30, 1996 balance of 
approximately $28,400,000.  An order is entered into backlog only when the 
Company receives a definite commitment from a customer.  The decrease in 
bookings from the first quarter of the prior year is attributable to certain 
anticipated fiscal year 1996 bookings now expected to occur in the second 
quarter instead of the first quarter.  The Company expects such timing 
differences in new business bookings for the current fiscal year will reverse 
throughout the year, and that overall, backlog by the end of the current 
fiscal year will be nearly the same as the end of the previous fiscal year.

Interest expense during the current period was $42,000 as compared to $41,000 
recorded in the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year.  Long-term debt 
of $1,926,000 is the same currently as compared to the same period last 
fiscal year.

The Company currently has only a very limited net operating loss (NOL) 
carryforward available for federal tax purposes, and thus will begin paying 
significant federal income taxes this year.  The benefit of the tax loss 
carryforward will be recorded when realized.  The Company accrues a provision 
for state income taxes as income is recognized based on the current 
prevailing state tax rates.

As a result of the above factors, net income was $323,000 in the current 
period as compared to $259,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year.  
Fully diluted earnings per share were $.07 for the three months ending 
September 30, 1996 versus $.06 recorded in the comparable quarter in the 
prior fiscal year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately 
$18,641,000, up $426,000 or 2.3%, when compared to the $18,215,000 as of 
June 30, 1996.  Long term debt was $1,926,000 at September 30, 1996, 
unchanged from June 30, 1996.  The Board of Directors authorized redemption 
of this long-term debt at its October 31, 1996 meeting.  Accounts receivable-
net decreased $783,000 from $2,586,000 at June 30, 1996 to $1,803,000 at 
September 30, 1996 due to efficient collection of outstanding trade 
receivables and aggressive pursuit of "past due" accounts.  Costs and 
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts increased 
from $4,055,000 at June 30, 1996 to $4,517,000 at September  30, 1996 as a 
result of progress payment type billings and other more favorably negotiated 
billing terms on certain contracts.

The Company has a $4,000,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank which expires 
January 31, 1997.  Amounts drawn on this line of credit accrue interest at 
either the bank's prime rate or the bank's LIBOR plus 2.5% as selected by the 
Company upon the utilization of any portion of the line of credit.  The 
Company had no borrowings against the line of credit at September 30, 1996.
 
During the period ending September 30, 1996, the Company recognized additions
to capital equipment of approximately $161,000.  The Company believes capital 
requirements for fiscal 1997 can be internally generated from working capital
or lease financing arrangements.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, as is normal with respect to the nature and kind of 
business in which DBA is engaged, various claims, charges and litigation are 
asserted or commenced against DBA arising from or related to product liability, 
patent, breach or warranty, contractual relations or employee relations.  The 
amounts claimed in such litigation may be substantial but may not bear any 
reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real 
risk of court awards. Please refer to the Significant Event paragraph above 
which discusses a recent judgement in DBA's favor received in the AMMS 
lawsuit proceeding. In the opinion of management, final judgments, if any, 
which might be rendered against DBA in potential or pending litigation, would 
no have a material adverse effect on its assets or business.

ITEM 5. -- OTHER INFORMATION

In September 1996, 10 1/2 months after DBA's initial submission, the Company 
received official notification from the FBI about its successful completion 
of the Image Quality Specification (IQS), paragraph F, testing.  Paragraph F 
of the IQS is one of the most arduous levels on record, and numerous companies
have withdrawn their efforts from this approval cycle.  DBA is one of only 
two companies to achieve paragraph F of the IQS, and it is the only company 
to pass with a scanner working in the high volume fingerprint card batch mode.
This achievement is a critical milestone in establishing the Company's 
expertise and in penetrating the fingerprint card scanner market.
