                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Tech-Sym
Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

        In the opinion of the Company's management ("Management") all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
all periods reported have been included. Such adjustments consist only of normal
recurring items.

        The Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended March 31,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year
ending December 31, 2000.

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

        Effective June 30, 1998, the Company adopted a plan to sell its
businesses involved in the manufacture of air monitoring products (Anarad, Inc.
or "Anarad") and the manufacture of radio and television broadcast equipment
(Continental Electronics Corporation or "Continental"), and effective December
31, 1998, the Company adopted a plan to sell its majority owned subsidiary,
GeoScience Corporation ("GeoScience"), involved in the manufacture of seismic
equipment used in the exploration for hydro-carbons. The effective dates of June
30, 1998, and December 31, 1998, are the respective measurement dates referred
to when discussing the results of operations of these businesses.

        The presentation of the discontinued operations includes segregation of
the operating results in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, and 1999. The net assets of the discontinued operations
are segregated at March 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999, in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet and at March 31, 2000, and 1999 in the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows. Accordingly, the revenue, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities
and cash flows of these discontinued operations have been excluded from the
respective captions in the Consolidated Statement of Income, Consolidated
Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and have been reported as
"Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of applicable income taxes
(benefits)", as "Net assets of discontinued operations" and as "Net cash
provided by discontinued operations" for all periods listed above. The results
of discontinued operations do not reflect any interest expense or management
fees allocated by the Company. Data presented for earnings per share reflect the
reclassification of the discontinued operations.

        On March 15, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of
Anarad and on December 13, 1999, the Company sold GeoScience.

        In October 1999, Continental entered into a plan of liquidation of its
German subsidiary. In February 2000, Continental entered into a letter of intent
to sell the assets of its digital television product line ("DTV"). On April 26,
2000, Continental completed the sale of the DTV product line for $2,687,000 in
cash, net of assumed liabilities, and $1,163,000 receivable due in six months.
Continental is conducting discussions with other parties interested in its
remaining product lines and real estate.

        Continental incurred after-tax operating losses of $1,140,000 during the

NOTE 4 - PER SHARE DATA

        Basic per share amounts are computed based on the average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted per share amounts reflect the increase in
average common shares outstanding that would result from the exercise of
outstanding stock options computed using the treasury stock method. Stock
options are the only potentially dilutive shares the Company has outstanding.
Outstanding stock options of 691,370 and 46,000 were anti-dilutive and were
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarters
ended March 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

        During the first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased 171,230 shares
of its common stock under a previously approved repurchase program.

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

        As discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company has discontinued certain businesses, therefore
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations below relates only to the Company's continuing businesses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER
ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

        Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, increased $4,597,000 or
12% to $42,593,000 compared to $37,996,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
The increase occurred primarily in the defense systems segment, which was
$2,380,000 or 19%, over the prior year period. The increase was due to (1) new
programs currently under contract that were not in process in the first quarter
of 1999 and (2) the movement of other programs from the developmental phase to
production. Additionally, the current period consolidated revenue included
$1,947,000 from CrossLink, Inc. ("CrossLink"), in which a majority equity
interest was acquired in July 1999. Revenue from the communication and weather
information systems segments increased slightly over the prior year comparative
period.

        Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of sales was 29% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, and 1999. The percentage for the defense systems
segment improved to 29% from 25%, primarily as a result of increased
manufacturing volume. The gross margin percentage for the weather information
systems segment decreased to 46% from 49%, primarily as a result of the volume
mix and stage of completion of projects in process between the two periods. The
communications segment gross margin was unchanged at 27% for both periods.

        Company-sponsored product development expenditures for the current
quarter were $239,000 less than in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
decreased expenditures within each reportable segment reflect the completion of
major projects in 1999. Company-sponsored product development expenditures were
$238,000 for CrossLink during the period.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $903,000 or 11%
to $9,273,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to the same quarter
in the prior year. The increase primarily occurred within the defense systems
segment relating to increased proposal activity and greater general and
administrative expenses associated with the growth of that business. The
inclusion of CrossLink's general and administrative expenses in the current
period contributed $302,000 to the consolidated general and administrative
expenses. General and administrative expenses within the communications segment
decreased $488,000 as compared to prior year period, which included additional
costs related to the restructuring efforts that began in the latter part of
1998. Selling costs within the weather information systems segment were $117,000
less than the comparative period due to lower selling commissions.

        Interest expense for the current quarter decreased $300,000 to $67,000
from $367,000 in the prior year quarter, reflecting the reduction of debt during
the fourth quarter of 1999 and first quarter of 2000 as a result of cash
received from the sale of GeoScience. Other income increased $5,196,000 to
$5,409,000 for the quarter compared to $213,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1999, reflecting a pre-tax gain of $4,894,000 on the sale of the Company's
equity investment in Scientific Research Corporation ("SRC") and increased
interest earnings due to greater cash on deposit during the first quarter of
2000.

        The Company expects its effective tax rate to be 36% for fiscal 2000.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2000 was 38% due primarily to
the gain recognized on the sale of SRC.

        Income from continuing operations and net income for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 was $4,725,000 or $.81 per diluted share as compared to income of
$1,031,000 or $.17 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. There
were no reportable results from discontinued operations included in net income
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        During the current period the Company satisfied its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements through cash on hand, from the sale of
GeoScience Corporation in December 1999 and cash received from the sale of SRC
in January 2000. At March 31, 2000, $7,061,000 of cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments are subject to restrictions related to letters of credit
with various financial institutions. At March 31, 2000, the Company's working
capital balance, net of assets of discontinued operations, was $94,391,000,
compared to $88,314,000 at December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company's
continuing operations had short-term line of credit facilities aggregating
$5,450,000, of which $5,411,000 was available for additional short-term
borrowings. The Company had a working capital ratio of 4.10 to 1.0 and debt to
total capitalization of 1%.

        Purchases of property, plant and equipment for continuing operations
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, totaled $1,736,000, including $940,000
relating to the capitalization of costs associated with equipment manufactured
for lease, compared to $1,585,000 for the same period in the prior year. The
Company believes that its cash on hand, cash from results of operations and
available line of credit facilities will provide adequate funds to meet
foreseeable requirements.

        Net cash provided by the discontinued operations of Continental was
$1,550,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, primarily as a result of cash
provided from the collection of accounts receivable with a major customer, which
exceeded other operating, investing and financing net cash requirements. In
October 1999, Continental entered into a plan of liquidation of its German
subsidiary. Under the terms of the plan, Continental is required to fund the
cash flow requirements of operating the German subsidiary during the liquidation
phase, which is expected to conclude during the year 2000. At March 31, 2000,
Continental's estimated future commitment is reported in the balance sheet as a
reduction of net assets of discontinued operations. The Company has guaranteed
Continental's commitment under the plan of liquidation.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

        The Company is currently not aware of any Year 2000 problems in any of
its products or critical systems and continues to monitor for any Year 2000
related issues. The Company expects no future material expenditures relating to
Year 2000 issues.
