ITEM 1. BUSINESS

    Sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking
statements that are based on management's expectations, estimates, projections
and assumptions.  Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "believes,"
"estimates," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements that include, but are not limited to,
projections of future performance, assessment of contingent liabilities and
expectations concerning liquidity, cash flow and contract awards.  Such
forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and
uncertainties that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual future results
and trends may differ materially from what is forcast in forward-looking
statements due to a variety of factors, including the Company's successful
execution of internal performance plans; the outcome of litigation in process;
labor negotiations; changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. Government
defense budget; and termination of government contracts due to unilateral
government action.

General Information

    The Company provides diversified management, technical and
professional services to primarily U.S. Government customers
throughout the United States and internationally.  Generally,
these services are provided under both prime and subcontracts,
which may be fixed-price, time-and-material or cost-type
depending on the work requirements and other individual
circumstances.

    The Company provides services to various branches of the
Department of Defense and to the Department of Energy, NASA, the
Department of State, the Department of Justice and various other
U.S., state and local government agencies, commercial clients and
foreign governments.  These services encompass a wide range of
management, technical and professional services covering the
following areas:

    Information and Engineering Technology (I&ET) designs,
    develops, supports and integrates software and systems to
    provide customers with comprehensive solutions for
    information management and engineering needs.  Also included
    are software development and maintenance, computer center
    operations, data processing and analysis, database
    administration, telecommunications support and operations,
    maintenance and operation of integrated electronic systems,
    and integration of electronic systems in local and wide area
    networks.  Contracts include the design and development of a
    personnel records management system, including imaging,
    database and client server technology, for the entire U.S.
    Navy, and the provision of basic computer, software, and
    networking support to all of the DoE's operations.  This
    business area also provides services in support of nuclear
    safeguards and security research and development.  Revenues
    for 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $271.5 million, $271.1 million
    and $192.1 million, respectively.

    Aerospace Technology (AT) activities include technical and
    evaluation services at test and training ranges; engineering,
    manufacturing and installation of aircraft system upgrades;
    corrosive repairs and structural modifications that extend
    airframe life for the aging fleet of military aircraft;
    ground based logistics support and staff augmentation; and
    engineering and technical services for high-technology space
    and missile systems programs.  These services are provided to
    the U.S. Government as well as the United Nations and other
    foreign organizations at various locations throughout the
    world depending on the customer's requirements.  Revenues for
    1996, 1995 and 1994 were $383.3 million, $319.3 million and
    $300.9 million, respectively.

    Enterprise Management (EM) provides full service, "turn-key"
    solutions for the management, operation and maintenance of
    federal and commercial facilities.  This unit manages large-
    scale facilities, using computerized work management and
    scheduled maintenance systems to perform roads and grounds
    maintenance, civil engineering and custodial services,
    landfill recycling, disposal operations, and vehicle and
    heavy equipment maintenance.  Other activities of this
    business area include testing and evaluation of military
    hardware systems at government test ranges, collection and
    processing of data, maintenance of targets, ranges and
    laboratory facilities, health services, operation of ships,
    developmental testing of complex weapons systems, security
    systems work, and technology transfer into commercial
    applications.  Revenues for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $366.7
    million, $318.3 million and $325.8 million, respectively.

Industry Segments

    For business segment reporting, Information and Engineering
Technology, Aerospace Technology and Enterprise Management each
comprise reportable business segments.

Backlog

    The Company's backlog of business which includes awards under
both prime and subcontracts as well as the estimated value of
option years on government contracts was $3,002 million at the
close of 1996, compared to a year-end 1995 backlog of $2,887
million.  The backlog at December 31, 1996 consisted of $960
million for I&ET, $579 million for AT and $1,463 million for EM
compared to December 31, 1995 backlog of $904 million for I&ET,
$764 million for AT and $1,219 million for EM.  Of the total
backlog at December 31, 1996, $2,015 million is expected to
produce revenues after 1997: I&ET $694 million, AT $271 million
and EM $1,050 million.

    Contracts with the U.S. Government are generally written for
periods of three to five years.  Because of appropriation
limitations in the federal budget process, firm funding is
usually made for only one year at a time, with the remainder of
the years under the contract expressed as a series of one-year
options.  The Company's experience has been that the Government
generally exercises these options.  Amounts included in backlog
are based on the contract's total awarded value and the Company's
estimates regarding the amount of the award that will ultimately
result in the recognition of revenue.  These estimates are based
on the Company's experience with similar awards and similar
customers.  Estimates are reviewed periodically and appropriate
adjustments are made to the amounts included in backlog and
unexercised contract options.  Historically, these adjustments
have not been significant.  In 1996, the Company had prime
contract revenue of approximately 79% from the U.S. Government,
50% attributable to the Department of Defense.

Competition

    The markets which the Company services are highly
competitive.  The Company experiences vigorous competition from
industrial firms, university laboratories, non-profit
institutions and U.S. Government agencies.  Many of the Company's
competitors are large, diversified firms with substantially
greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than the
Company has available.  Government agencies also compete with and
are potential competitors of the Company because they can utilize
their internal resources to perform certain types of services
that might otherwise be performed by the Company.  A majority of
the Company's revenues is derived from contracts with the U.S.
Government and its prime contractors, and such contracts are
awarded on the basis of negotiations or competitive bids where
price is a significant factor.  Management does not believe any
one competitor or a small number of competitors is dominant in
any of the business areas of the Company.

Foreign Operations

    The Company has a 5% minority investment in an unaffiliated
company in Saudi Arabia.  Discussions are underway regarding the
sale of the Company's minority interest to one or more of the
other Saudi stockholders.  Other activities of the Company
presently include the providing of services in foreign countries
under contracts with the U.S. Government, the United Nations, and
other foreign customers.  None of these foreign operations is
normally material to the Company's financial position or results
of operations; however, in 1995 the Company's Mexican operations
incurred a loss of $4.4 million (see Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Cost of Services/Gross Margin).

    The risks associated with the Company's foreign operations in
regard to foreign currency fluctuation, and political and
economic conditions in foreign countries, have not been
significant.

Incorporation

    The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1946.

Employees

    As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 14,250
employees,  approximately 830 of which are located outside of the
United States.  Approximately 4,200 of the Company's U.S.
employees are covered by various collective bargaining agreements
with labor unions.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    The Company is primarily a service-oriented company, and, as
such, the ownership or leasing of real property is an activity
which is not material to an understanding of the Company's
operations.  The Company owns two office buildings and, in
addition, leases numerous commercial facilities used in
connection with the various services rendered to its customers,
including its corporate headquarters, a 149,000 square foot
facility under a 12-year lease.  None of the properties is
unique.  All of the Company's owned facilities are located within
the United States.  In the opinion of management, the facilities
employed by the Company are adequate for the present needs of the
business.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    This item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 21 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders
during the fourth quarter of 1996.

                             PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
        STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

    DynCorp's common stock is not publicly traded, however, the
Company has established an Internal Market to provide liquidity
for its stockholders.  The Internal Market generally permits
stockholders to sell shares of common stock on four predetermined
days each year, subject to purchase demand.

    Sales of common stock on the Internal Market are made at the
prevailing fair value of the common stock determined pursuant to
the formula and valuation process described below (the "Formula
Price") to employees and directors of the Company who have been
approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
as being entitled to purchase common stock and to the trustees of
the Savings and Retirement Plan (SARP) and the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP), as well as the administrator of the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), who may purchase shares of
common stock for their respective trusts and plans.

    If the aggregate purchase orders exceed the number of shares
available for sale, the Company may, but is not obligated to,
sell authorized but unissued shares of common stock on the
Internal Market.  Further, the following prospective purchasers
will have priority, in the order listed:

    - the administrator of the ESPP
    - the trustees of the SARP
    - individuals approved for purchases by the Compensation Committee
      of the Board of Directors, on a pro rata basis
    - the trustees of the ESOP

    If the aggregate number of shares offered for sale on the
Internal Market is greater than the aggregate number of shares
sought to be purchased, offers by stockholders to sell 500 shares
or less, or up to the first 500 shares if more than 500 shares
are offered, will be accepted first and offers to sell shares in
excess of 500 shares will then be accepted on pro rata basis.
If, however, there are insufficient purchase orders to support
the primary allocation of 500 shares, then the purchase orders
will be allocated equally among all of the proposed sellers up to
the first 500 shares offered for sale by each seller.  All
sellers on the Internal Market (other than the Company and its
retirement plans) will pay a commission equal to two percent of
the proceeds from such sales.  No commission is paid by
purchasers on the Internal Market.

    The market price of the common stock is established pursuant
to the valuation process described below, which uses the formula
set forth below to determine the Formula Price at which the
Common Stock trades in the Internal Market.  The Formula Price is
reviewed four times each year, generally in conjunction with
Board of Directors meetings, which are usually scheduled for
February, May, August and November.

    The Formula Price per share of common stock is the product of
seven times the operating cash flow ("CF"), where operating cash
flow is represented by earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of the Company for the four fiscal
quarters immediately preceding the date on which a price revision
is made, multiplied by a market factor ("Market Factor" denoted
MF) plus the nonoperating assets at disposition value (net of
disposition costs) ("NOA"), minus the sum of interest bearing
debt adjusted to market and other outstanding securities senior
to common stock ("IBD"), the whole divided by the number of
shares of common stock outstanding at the date on which a price
revision is made, on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of
all Class C Preferred Stock and exercise of all outstanding
options and warrants ("ESO").  The Market Factor is a numeric
factor which reflects existing securities market conditions
relevant to the valuation of such stock.  The Formula Price of
the common stock, expressed as an equation, is as follows:

     Formula Price =  [(CFx7)MF+NOA-IBD] / ESO

    The Board of Directors believes that the valuation process
and Formula result in a fair price for the common stock within a
broad range of financial criteria.  Other than quarterly review
and possible modification of the Market Factor, the Board of
Directors will not change the Formula unless (i) in the good
faith exercise of its fiduciary duties and after consultation
with its professional advisors, the Board of Directors, including
a majority of the directors who are not employees of the Company,
determines that the formula no longer results in a stock price
which reasonably reflects the value of the Company on a per share
basis, or (ii) a change in the Formula or the method of valuing
the common stock is required under applicable law.

    The following table sets forth the Formula Price for the
common stock and the Market Factor by quarter since the adoption
of the Formula by the Board of Directors in August 1995.

                              Formula Price  Market Factor
         December 31, 1995         14.50         2.136
         March 28, 1996            15.00         1.362
         June 27, 1996             16.75         1.148
         September 26, 1996        19.00         1.152
         December 31, 1996         20.00         1.267

    Prior to August 1995, the market value of the common stock
was established by the Board of Directors.  The Board's
determination was based on its review of valuations performed
annually by an independent appraiser of the ESOP Trust.  The
price per share by quarter is as follows:

         December 31, 1994                14.60
         March 30, 1995                   14.90
         June 29, 1995                    14.90
         September 28, 1995               14.90

   There were approximately 478 record holders of DynCorp common
stock at December 31, 1996.  In addition, the DynCorp Employee
Stock Ownership Plan Trust owns stock on behalf of approximately
29,100 present and former employees of the Company.  Cash
dividends have not been paid on the common stock since 1988.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

   The following table presents summary selected historical
financial data derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company, which have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP
for each of the five years.  During the periods presented, the
Company paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock.  The

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

   In 1996, the Company realized a quantum improvement in
earnings.  Specifically, earnings before income taxes reached
$19.1 million compared to a loss of $2.6 million in 1995 and
losses in the previous nine years.  This significant break
through was achieved primarily as a result of the following:

   - The  current year benefit of the extinguishment of
     approximately $128.0 million of above market debt in 1995,
     utilizing the proceeds from the divestiture of the
     Commercial Aviation business, the sale of the Corporate
     headquarters building and the collection of a sizable note
     receivable.  As a result of these actions, the Company's
     debt service cost was significantly reduced.

   - An across the board improvement in earnings achieved as a
     result of new business procurement in excess of contract
     losses, curtailment of loss operations (primarily Mexico)
     and the reduction of indirect costs as a result of recent
     restructuring actions.

     Following is a summary of operations, cash flow and long-
     term debt (in thousands):

Revenues - Revenues from continuing operations were $1,021.5
million in 1996 compared to $908.7 million in 1995, an increase
of $112.8 million.  Revenues for each of the business areas
increased over those of 1995.  Information and Engineering
Technology's (I&ET) revenues increased to $271.5 million from
$271.1 million in 1995, Aerospace Technology's (AT) revenues
increased to $383.3 million from $319.3 million and Enterprise
Management's (EM) revenues increased to $366.7 million from
$318.3 million.  In I&ET, revenues attributable to an acquisition
in June 1996, increased level of effort on existing contracts and
a contract which was being phased in during the last half of 1995
but was fully operational during 1996 were offset by the decrease
in revenue due to the completion and phaseout of a large contract
with the Postal Service.  The increase in AT's revenues were
primarily the result of increased level of effort on existing
contracts, new contract awards in support of the Bosnian
peacekeeping initiative and a contract which was being phased in
during the latter half of 1995 but was fully operational in 1996.
In EM, reductions in revenue due to contract losses were more
than offset by revenues from two new large Department of Energy
contracts, one of which was awarded in 1995 but not operational
for the entire year and the other which was phased-in beginning
in August 1996 and fully operational by October.

   Revenues from continuing operations were $908.7 million in
1995 compared to $818.7 million in 1994, an increase of $90.0
million.  I&ET revenues increased to $271.1 million from $192.1
million in 1994, AT revenues increased to $319.3 million from
$300.9 million in 1994, and EM revenues decreased to $318.3
million from $325.8 million in 1994.  The increase in I&ET was
primarily attributable to a business acquired in October 1994 and
new contract awards; the increase in AT was primarily the result
of increased level of effort on existing contracts while new
contract awards were offset substantially by contracts lost in
recompetition; the decrease in EM was the result of contracts
lost in recompetition offset partially by contracts which were in
the start-up phase in 1994 but were fully operational in 1995.
Both I&ET and EM were affected by the shutdown of the Federal
Government in November and December 1995, and the subsequent
furloughs resulting from the stalled federal budget negotiations.
The shutdown affected revenue by approximately $1.0 million.

Cost of Services/Gross Margins - Cost of services from continuing
operations was 95.0% of revenue in 1996, 95.9% in 1995 and 95.7%
in 1994, which resulted in gross margins of $51.3 million (5.0%),
$37.4 million (4.1%) and $35.6 million (4.3%), respectively.  The
same factors which contributed to the increase in revenues in
1996 over 1995 contributed to the improvement in gross margin.
Additionally, the losses for the Company's Mexican operations
were fully reserved in 1995, and therefore did not affect the
1996 gross margin.  Finally, greater absorption of overhead costs
resulting from increased revenues and improved contract
performance and efficiency on some contracts which were under-
performing in 1995 also contributed to the improved gross margin.

   The 1995 gross margin was adversely affected by losses of $4.4
million in connection with the Company's efforts to further
expand its Mexican operations and to complete a contract for the
design and installation of a large security system in Mexico.
These losses included such expenses as business development and
marketing expenses, recognition of an estimated loss at
completion including currency devaluation losses for a security
system contract, severance costs associated with the reduction
and realignment of the local workforce, and a reserve for closing
the operation.  The contract loss resulted primarily from labor
overruns to install the security systems and the customer
refusing to pay the contract price in U.S. dollars as originally
agreed.  Approximately $3.1 million of costs, consisting
primarily of labor and costs to complete the contract, severance
costs and operations closeout costs were accrued at December 31,
1995.  The loss incurred by the Mexican operations, along with
the effect of the shutdown of the Federal Government in November
and again in December 1995, reduced revenue by $1.0 million and
gross margin by $120,000, substantially offsetting increased
earnings from an acquisition which was consummated in October
1994 and new contract awards net of contract losses.

Corporate Selling and Administrative - Corporate selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 1.8% in
1996 and 2.1% in 1995 and 1994. There were both increases and
decreases in 1996 over 1995 of the various elements of corporate
selling and  administrative expenses, however, the most
significant factors were a decrease in bid and proposal costs
over those incurred in 1995, offset partially by increased costs
in support of the Company's Business Process Reengineering
project, initiated in 1996.  Even though corporate selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained the
same in 1995 as in 1994, the dollar amount increased $1.8 million
over 1994.  This increase is primarily attributable to increased
facility costs resulting from the sale and leaseback of the
Corporate headquarters building at a cost in excess of the
previous cost of ownership.

Interest - Interest expense in 1996 was $10.2 million, down from
$14.9 million in 1995, primarily due to the redemption of the 16%
Junior Subordinated Debentures in 1995.  Also contributing to the
decrease was the liquidation in 1995 of the mortgage on the
corporate headquarters, which was sold and leased back.

   Interest expense in 1995 was $14.9 million, virtually
unchanged from 1994. However, there were different factors
affecting the amount of interest expense for these years.  1995
included the effect of the declining balance and eventual
redemption of all the 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures and the
liquidation of the mortgage on the Corporate office building,
which was sold and leased back; 1994 included nonrecurring
credits resulting from the reversal of interest accruals due to a
favorable settlement with the Internal Revenue Service of the
Company's tax liability for the period 1985-1988.

   Interest income was $1.7 million in 1996 as compared to $3.8
million in 1995.  The decrease is attributable to lower cash and
short-term investment balances throughout 1996 and, consequently,
a lower interest yield.

   Interest income was $3.8 million in 1995, up from $2.4 million
in 1994.  The increase, due to greater interest yields on higher
cash and short-term investment balances, was partially offset by
the collection of the 17% Cummings Point Industries, Inc. note
receivable in August, 1995.

Other - Decreases in Other Expense in 1996 as compared to 1995
are attributable to significantly reduced or no additional
reserve requirements related to (a) a lawsuit filed by a
subcontractor of a former subsidiary and (b) uninsured costs to
defend and settle asbestos claims against an inactive subsidiary
(see Note 21(a) and (b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements)
as well as a credit recognized in 1996 for a revised estimate of
ESOP Premium.  Partially offsetting these decreases were charges
for costs related to the retirement of several of the Company's
officers as well as the write-off of cost in excess of assets
acquired of a minority owned investment (see Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

   The increase in other expense in 1995 as compared to 1994 is
due to several different factors (see Note 13 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).  In 1995, the Company recorded a charge of
$5.3 million to increase its reserve for the estimated future
uninsured cost to defend and settle asbestos claims against an
inactive subsidiary.  In addition, in 1995 and 1994, the Company
recorded charges of $2.4 million and $2.7 million to increase its
reserves for the estimated costs (primarily legal defense) to
resolve a lawsuit filed by a subcontractor to a former
subsidiary.  The determination of these reserves is subject to
numerous uncertainties and judgments which are described in Note
21(a) and (b).

Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes in 1996 is based on
reported earnings, adjusted to reflect the impact of temporary
differences between the amount of assets and liabilities
recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts
recognized for tax purposes and a provision for foreign taxes
related to prior years' foreign operations.  The tax benefit in
1995 reflects a tax provision based on an estimated annual
effective tax rate, excluding expenses not deductible for tax.
Additionally, $4.1 million and $7.7 million of tax valuation
reserves were reversed in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These
deferred taxes have been realized primarily as offsets against
the current year's earnings and the gain on the sale of the
Commercial Aviation business in 1995.  The 1994 federal tax
benefit resulted from the reversal of tax reserves for the IRS
examination and the tax benefit for operating losses, net of a
valuation allowance, less the federal tax provision of a majority
owned subsidiary required to file a separate return.

Intangible Assets -- Intangible assets principally consist of the
excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net
tangible assets of businesses acquired.  In accordance with the
guidance provided in APB No. 16, the Company assesses and
allocates, to the extent possible, excess acquisition price to
identifiable intangible assets and any residual is considered
goodwill.  A large portion of the intangible assets is goodwill
which resulted from the 1988 LBO and merger, accounted for as a
purchase, and represents the existing technical capabilities,
customer relationships and ongoing business reputation that had
been developed over a significant period of time.  The Company
believes that these relationships and the value of the Company's
business reputation were and continue to be long-term intangible
assets with an almost infinite life.  Since the APB No. 17
limitation is 40 years, this period is used for amortization
purposes for the majority of the goodwill.  The value assigned to
other identifiable intangible assets at the time of the LBO and
merger in 1988 was amortized over applicable estimated useful
lives and was fully amortized as of December 31, 1994.

Working Capital and Cash Flow

   Working capital at December 31, 1996 was $75.8 million
compared to $64.7 million at December 31, 1995; the increase was
primarily the result of expanded business volume.  The ratio of
current assets to current liabilities at December 31, 1996 was
1.51 compared to 1.42 at December 31, 1995.

   At December 31, 1996, $122.8 million of accounts receivable
are restricted as collateral for the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes (the "Notes").  Additionally, $3.0 million
of cash is restricted as collateral for the Notes and has been
included in Other Assets on the balance sheet.

   Cash provided by continuing operations was $4.8 million
compared to $13.8 million in 1995.  This decrease was caused by
the $14.0 million payment of federal and state income taxes on
the gain on the sale of the Commercial Aviation business and a
$6.9 million increase in accounts receivable which offset a
significant increase in earnings in 1996 over 1995.  Cash
provided by continuing operations was $13.8 million in 1995
compared to cash used of $1.0 million in 1994.  Numerous factors
contributed to the change:  (i) payment in cash of accrued
interest on the 16% Subordinated Debentures in 1995 as opposed to
payment in kind in 1994, (ii) a $15.2 million increase in
earnings and (iii) a $6.9 million increase in accounts
receivable.  Current liabilities increased due to the accrual of
income tax liability resulting from the gain on the sale of the
Commercial Aviation business.

   Investing activities provided cash of $1.7 million in 1996.
Additional proceeds from the sale of the Commercial Aviation
business as well as the release of cash on deposit as collateral
for letters of credit were partially offset by acquisitions and
capital expenditures.  In 1995, the proceeds from the sale of the
Commercial Aviation business, the sale/leaseback of the Corporate
headquarters facility and the collection of the Cummings Point
Industries, Inc. note receivable all contributed to the $139.9
million of funds provided from investing activities.  For the
year 1994, investing activities used $22.2 million of cash, of
which $14.3 million was used for the acquisition of businesses
and another $3.7 million was used for the purchase of property
and equipment.

   In 1996, financing activities utilized $11.8 million of cash,
$9.7 million for the purchase of treasury shares, $1.3 million
towards payment on indebtedness and $1.3 million expended to
secure a $50.0 million line of credit.  These uses were offset by
the $0.5 million received on the loan to the ESOP.  In 1995, the
$126.9 million use of funds from financing activities consisted
primarily of the utilization of the proceeds from the sale of the
Commercial Aviation Business to redeem $106.0 million of 16%
Junior Subordinated Debentures, the extinguishment of the
mortgage on the Corporate headquarters, and the purchase of
treasury shares.  These uses were partially offset by funds
provided from sale of stock to the ESOP of $17.5 million.  For
the year 1994, financing activities provided cash of $8.8
million.  The sale of stock to the ESOP contributed $17.1 million
of cash of which $4.5 million was used for payments on
indebtedness, and $3.2 million was used to purchase treasury
stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At December 31, 1996, the Company's debt totaled $104.2
million compared to $105.4 million at December 31, 1995, and
$233.4 million at December 31, 1994.  The decrease in debt from
December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996 reflects the minimum debt
servicing requirements.  The decrease in debt from December 31,
1994 to December 31, 1995 resulted from the redemption of $106.0
million of Junior Subordinated Debentures and the liquidation of
the $18.2 million mortgage on the Company's headquarters
building. The funds used for the liquidation of debt were
obtained from the sale of the Commercial Aviation business, the
sale/leaseback of the Company's headquarters building and the
collection of the Cummings Point Industries, Inc. note
receivable.  The increase in debt for 1994 resulted principally
from the pay-in-kind interest on the Junior Subordinated
Debentures.

   Cash and short-term investments, down $5.3 million, totaled
$25.9 million at December 31, 1996 as compared to $31.2 million
at December 31, 1995.  Income taxes paid on the gain on the sale
of the Commercial Aviation business, $14.0 million, were offset
by increases in cash flow resulting from increased profits.  The
increase in cash and short-term investments of $23.4 million from
December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, resulted from the
proceeds received on the sale of the Commercial Aviation
business, funds obtained upon the sale/leaseback of the Corporate
headquarters, and also from the collection of the Cummings Point
Industries, Inc. note receivable.  All of the aforementioned were
offset by the Company's payment in cash of the June 1995 interest
payment on its 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures and the
redemption of the balance of the debentures outstanding in
October 1995. The Company had a net decrease in cash and short-
term investments of $4.0 million in 1994.  The decrease for 1994
was caused to a large degree by net investments in acquired
businesses of $14.3 million and an increase in accounts
receivable and contracts in process of $22.5 million.  The latter
increase was largely attributable to a delay in finalizing the
terms of a new contract and delays in a government finance
office, both of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 1994.
The Company's cash flow was favorably impacted by $32.4 million
in 1994 through the utilization of pay-in-kind interest on the
Junior Subordinated Debentures and the sale of stock to the ESOP.

   The Company anticipates contributing up to $12.3 million in
cash to the ESOP to satisfy funding obligations for 1997.  The
amount of the Company's annual contribution to the ESOP is
determined by, and within the discretion of, the Board of
Directors and may be in the form of cash, Common Stock or other
qualifying securities.  In accordance with ERISA requirements and
the ESOP plan documents, in the event that an employee
participating in the ESOP is terminated, retires, dies or becomes
disabled while employed by the Company, the ESOP Trust or the
Company is obligated to repurchase shares of Common Stock
distributed to such former employee under the ESOP, until such
time as the Common Stock becomes "Readily Tradable Stock," as
defined in the ESOP plan documents.  (See Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)  Through December 31, 1996,
the Company was obligated to pay the higher of $27.00 per share
or the fair market value at the time of repurchase for any such
shares.  To the extent the fair market value of a share was less
than $27.00, the Company was committed to pay through December
31, 1996, up to an aggregate of $16.0 million, the difference
("Premium") between the fair market value and $27.00 per share.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had paid a total of $7.0
million of the premium to such former employees.  As of December
31, 1996, fair market value was determined to be $23.70 per share
(for shares with a control premium) for shares allocated in the
years 1988 through 1993, and $20.00 per share (for shares without
a control premium) for shares allocated in 1994 and 1995.  Based
on these values, the estimated aggregate annual commitment to
repurchase shares from the ESOP participants as follows:  $4.8
million in 1997, $7.3 million in 1998, $6.8 million in 1999, $7.7
million in 2000, $10.8 million in 2001 and $98.9 million
thereafter.  These amounts are subject to change based on the
fair market value of the common stock and the actual number of
retirements and terminating ESOP participants.

   The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various
claims and lawsuits, including contract disputes and claims based
on allegations of negligence and other tortious conduct.  The
Company is also potentially liable for certain personal injury,
tax, environmental and contract dispute issues related to the
prior operations of divested businesses.  In addition, certain
subsidiaries are potentially liable for environmental, personal
injury and contract dispute claims.  In most cases, the Company
and its subsidiaries have denied or believe they have a basis to
deny, liability, and in some cases has offsetting claims against
the plaintiffs, third parties or insurance carriers.  The total
amount of damages currently claimed by the plaintiffs in these
cases, a portion of which is expected to be covered by insurance,
is estimated to be approximately $122.0 million (including
compensatory and punitive damages and penalties).  The Company
has estimated additional costs for unasserted claims related to
these matters to be $38.5 million.  The Company believes that the
amount that will actually be recovered in these cases will be
substantially less than the amounts claimed.  After taking into
account available insurance, the Company believes it is
adequately reserved with respect to the potential liability for
such claims.  The Company has recorded $75.4 million at December
31, 1996, representing its best estimate of the minimum probable
liability that will result from these matters.  While it is not
possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the litigation
and other matters mentioned above, it is the opinion of the
Company's management, based in part upon opinions of counsel,
insurance in force and the facts currently known, that
liabilities in excess of those recorded, if any, arising from
such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, consolidated financial position or
liquidity of the Company over the long-term.  However, it is
possible that the timing of the resolution of individual issues
could result in a significant impact on the operating results
and/or liquidity for an individual future reporting period.  (See
Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

   At December 31, 1996, the Company had $104.2 million of debt,
of which $100.0 million (the Contract Receivable Collateralized
Notes, Series 1992-1) is scheduled to begin principal
amortization on May 30, 1997.  The Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Dyn Funding Corporation ("DFC") have undertaken a
series of refinancing transactions in order to repay the Series
1992-1 Notes, purchase all of the Company's Class C Preferred
stock, approximately 128,000 shares of common stock and 1,806,000
stock warrants and also to provide funding for acquisitions.  On
March 17, 1997, the Company closed on the sale of $100.0 million
of 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Senior
Subordinated Notes").  On January 14, 1997, the Company accepted
a conditional offer from one of the significant holders of the
Series 1992-1 Notes to purchase from DFC, in a private
transaction, up to $140.0 million of Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1.  As proposed, the Series
1997-1 Notes will comprise a $50.0 million Class A Fixed Rate
Note and a $90.0 million Class B Variable Rate Note, and will
contain terms and conditions substantially identical to those of
the Series 1992-1 Notes.  Upon the closing of the Series 1997-1
Notes, the Company will simultaneously close on an amendment to
its existing term note facility with Citicorp North America, Inc.
to, among other things, reduce the loan commitment from $50.0
million to $15.0 million.

   The Company's primary source of cash and cash equivalents is
from operations.  The Company's principal customer is the U.S.
Government.  This provides for a dependable flow of cash from the
collection of its accounts receivable.  Additionally, many of the
contracts with the U.S. Government provide for progress billings
based on costs incurred.  These progress billings reduce the
amount of cash that would otherwise be required during the
performance of these contracts.

   Although the Company has made some progress toward
diversification into non-defense business activities, the
Company's largest single customer continues to be the Department
of Defense representing 52% of revenue (both prime and
subcontract) in 1996.  Due to the procurement cycles of its
customers (generally three to five years), the Company's revenues
and margins are subject to continual recompetition.  In a typical
annual cycle approximately 20% to 30% of the Company's business
will be recompeted and the Company will bid on several new
contracts.  Existing contracts can be lost or rewon at lower
margins at any time and new contracts can be won.  The net
outcome of this bidding process, which in any one year can have a
dramatic impact on future revenues and earnings, is impossible to
predict.  Also, if the U.S. Government budget is reduced or
spending shifts away from locations or contracts for which the
Company provides services, the Company's ability to retain
current contracts or obtain new contracts could be significantly
reduced.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

   Information with respect to this item is contained in the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Financial
Statement Schedules included elsewhere in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

             Report of Independent Public Accountants

To DynCorp:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
DynCorp (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, permanent stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These consolidated financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of DynCorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  Schedules I and II
listed in Item 14 of the Form 10-K are presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not part of the basic financial statements.  These schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
fairly state in all material respects the financial data required
to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

DynCorp and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1996

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation -- All majority-owned subsidiaries have
been included in the financial statements and all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated (see Note
2).  Outside investors' interest in the majority-owned subsidiaries
is reflected as minority interest.  Investments less than 50% owned
are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Accounting Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period.

Contract Accounting -- Contracts in process are stated at the lower
of actual cost incurred plus accrued profits or net estimated
realizable value of incurred costs, reduced by progress billings.
The Company records income from major fixed-price contracts,
extending over more than one accounting period, using the percentage-
of-completion method.  During performance of such contracts,
estimated final contract prices and costs are periodically reviewed
and revisions are made as required.  The effects of these revisions
are included in the periods in which the revisions are made.  On
cost-plus-fee contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of costs
incurred plus a proportionate amount of fee earned, and on time-and-
material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable
rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable
costs incurred.  Losses on contracts are recognized when they become
known.  Disputes arise in the normal course of the Company's business
on projects where the Company is contesting with customers for
collection of funds because of events such as delays, changes in
contract specifications and questions of cost allowability or
collectibility.  Such disputes, whether claims or unapproved change
orders in the process of negotiation, are recorded at the lesser of
their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred and
only when realization is probable and can be reliably estimated.
Claims against the Company are recognized where loss is considered
probable and reasonably determinable in amount.

    It is the Company's policy to provide reserves for the
collectibility of accounts receivable when it is determined that it
is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due and the
amount of reserve requirement can be reasonably estimated.

    It is the Company's policy to defer labor and related costs
incurred in connection with the phase-in/start-up of new contracts
(after the award of the contract) when such costs are significant to
the contract and are not reimbursed separately by the customer.
These deferred costs for contracts awarded through 1995 are generally
amortized over the original contract period and option years which
are considered probable to be exercised.  Phase-in/start-up costs
deferred on contracts awarded after 1995 are amortized over the
original contract period only, excluding option years.

Property and Equipment -- The Company computes depreciation and
amortization using both straight-line and accelerated methods.  The
estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and
amortization on a straight-line basis are:  building, 15-33 years;
machinery and equipment, 3-20 years; and leasehold improvements, the
lesser of the useful life or the term of the lease.  Accelerated
depreciation is based on a 150% declining balance method with light-
duty vehicles assigned a three-year life and machinery and equipment
assigned a five-year life.  Depreciation and amortization expense was
$4,310,000 for 1996, $5,100,000 for 1995 and $4,978,000 for 1994.

    Cost of property and equipment sold or retired and the related
accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts
in the year of disposal, and any gains or losses are reflected in the
consolidated statements of operations.  Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and major additions
and improvements are capitalized.  During 1996, approximately
$3,200,000 of machinery and equipment assigned to a contract which
was lost in recompetition early in 1996 was either sold or retired.
The net book value of the equipment, $520,000, netted with the
proceeds received, has been reported in Cost of Services in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Intangible Assets -- Intangible assets principally consist of the
excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net
tangible assets of businesses acquired.  In accordance with the
guidance provided in APB No. 16, the Company assesses and allocates,
to the extent possible, excess acquisition price to identifiable
intangible assets and any residual is considered goodwill.  A large
portion of the intangible assets is goodwill which resulted from the
1988 LBO and merger, accounted for as a purchase, and represents the
existing technical capabilities, customer relationships and ongoing
business reputation that had been developed over a significant period
of time.  The Company believes that these relationships and the value
of the Company's business reputation were and continue to be long-
term intangible assets with an almost infinite life.  Since the APB
No. 17 limitation is 40 years, this period is used for amortization
purposes for the majority of the goodwill.  The value assigned to
identifiable intangible assets at the time of the LBO and merger in
1988 was amortized over applicable estimated useful lives and was
fully amortized as of December 31, 1994.

    At December 31, 1996, intangible assets consist of $46,700,000
of unamortized goodwill and $2,227,000 of value assigned to
contracts.  Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods up to forty years ($44,735,000 forty years, $152,000 thirty
years, $1,619,000 fifteen years and $194,000 ten years).
Amortization expense was $2,814,000 (see Note 13 (a)), $2,081,000 and
$4,343,000 (see Note 13(a)) in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Amounts allocated to contracts are being amortized over the lives of
the contracts for periods up to ten years.  Amortization of amounts
allocated to contracts was $617,000, $624,000 and $2,051,000 in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  Cumulative amortization of $16,599,000
and $30,512,000 has been recorded through December 31, 1996, of
goodwill and value assigned to contracts, respectively.

    The Company assesses potential impairment of intangible assets,
including goodwill, when events or circumstances indicate the carrying.
amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The
Company uses an estimate of its future undiscounted cash flows to
evaluate whether the intangible assets, including goodwill, are
recoverable.  The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the
Company's average cost of funds.

Income Taxes -- As prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company
utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted
statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of
existing assets and liabilities, less valuation allowances, if
required.

Environmental Liabilities -- The Company accrues environmental costs
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount
can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded liabilities have not been
discounted.

Contingent Liabilities -- The Company's accounting policy is to
accrue an estimated loss from a loss contingency when it is probable
that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at
the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can
be reasonably estimated.  The accrual for a loss contingency may
include such costs as legal costs, settlement and compensating
amounts, estimated punitive damages and penalties.

Treasury Stock -- The Company records the purchase of treasury stock
at the lower of acquired cost or fair value.  The amount in excess of
fair value, as in the case of shares acquired from ESOP participants,
is recorded as compensation expense (see Note 7).

Employee Stock Ownership Plan -- The Company has adopted Statement of
Position (SOP) 93-6, "Employers Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans."

Postretirement Health Care Benefits -- The Company provides no
significant postretirement health care or life insurance benefits to
its retired employees other than allowing them to continue as a
participant in the Company's plans with the retiree paying the full
cost of the premium.  The Company has determined, based on an
actuarial study, that it has no liability under SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions."

Postemployment Benefits -- The Company has no liability under SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," as it
provides no benefits as defined.

Long-Lived Assets -- SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles be reviewed
for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  The Company's practice is
consistent with the guidelines as set forth in the Statement.

Stock Options -- SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995.  The Statement encourages, but does not require, adoption
of the fair value based method of accounting for employee stock
options and other stock compensation plans.  The Company has opted to
account for its stock option plan in accordance with APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  By doing so, the
Company will make proforma disclosure of net earnings and earnings per
share as if the fair value based method for accounting defined in
Statement 123 had been applied (see Note 18).

New Accounting Pronouncements -- SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"
was issued in February 1997 and is effective for financial statements
issued after December 15, 1997.  The statement establishes new
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and
will require restatement of prior years.  This statement simplifies
the standards for computing EPS previously found in APB Opinion 15.
It replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS with a
presentation of basic and diluted EPS, requires a dual presentation
on the face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of
basic EPS computation to diluted EPS.  Had SFAS No. 128 been
effective for financial statements issued December 31, 1996, basic
and diluted EPS would have been $1.46 and $1.05, respectively.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows -- For purposes of these
statements, short-term investments which consist of government
treasury bills and time deposits with a maturity of ninety
days or less are considered cash equivalents.  Cash and short-term
investments at December 31, 1996 exclude $3,000,000 of restricted
cash which is classified as Other Assets.

Classification -- Consistent with industry practice, assets and
liabilities relating to long-term contracts and programs are
classified as current although a portion of these amounts is not
expected to be realized within one year.

    Cash paid for income taxes was $20,680,000 for 1996, $3,140,000 for
1995 and $1,145,000 for 1994.

    Cash paid for interest, excluding the interest paid under the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan term loan, was $9,485,000 for 1996,
$14,150,000 for 1995 and $10,984,000 for 1994.  The increase in 1995
over prior years resulted from the payment in cash (as opposed to
payment-in-kind) of interest on the Company's 16% Junior Subordinated
Debentures (see below).

    Noncash investing and financing activities consist of the
following (in thousands):

                                               1996     1995     1994
Acquisitions of businesses:
   Assets acquired                          $ 4,998  $ 2,772  $30,302

Capitalized equipment leases and
 notes secured by property and equipment    $     -  $     -  $   121

Change in Presentation of Stockholders' Accounts -- The presentation
of the stockholders' accounts in the balance sheets has been revised
as a result of classifying the management investor shares as
Permanent Equity due to the establishment of the Internal Market,
thus ending the Company's obligation to purchase these shares upon an
employee's termination (see Note 7).

Change in Presentation of Consolidated Statement of Operations --
Certain deminimus items have been reclassified from Other Expense to
Cost of Services in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the
prior year data has been changed to conform with this presentation.

(2)   Discontinued Operations

    During 1995, the Company sold all of its subsidiaries engaged in
the commercial aircraft maintenance and ground handling activities,
i.e., the Commercial Aviation business.  At December 31, 1995,
certain contingencies existed regarding the final sales prices of
both the maintenance and ground handling businesses.  Additionally,
the Company retained certain contingent liabilities which included
general warranties and representations and certain specific issues
regarding environmental, insurance and tax matters.  During 1996, the
Company recorded a net gain of $2,680,000 related to the resolution
of some of these outstanding issues as well as the adjustment of
estimated reserves recorded at disposition.

    The components of discontinued operations on the statements of
operations are as follows (in thousands):

                                                       Years Ended December 31,
                                                       1996   1995(a)      1994
  Revenues                                          $     -  $130,709  $203,389
  Cost of services (b)                                    -   123,698   195,109
  Interest expense and other (d)                          -     7,236    14,237
  Asset impairment (c)                                    -         -     9,492
  Pre-tax gain on sale of discontinued operations    (3,448)  (29,998)        -
  Income tax provision (benefit)                        768    29,793    (2,970)
  Gain (loss) from discontinued operations          $ 2,680  $    (20) $(12,479)

    (a)  The results of operations for 1995 are not comparable to
         1994 due to the interim divestitures of the maintenance and
         ground handling operations.

    (b)  During 1994, the Company revised its estimate of the useful
         lives of certain machinery and equipment to conform to its
         actual experience with fixed asset lives.  It was determined
         the useful lives of these assets ranged from three to ten
         years as compared to the two to seven year lives previously
         utilized.  The effect of this change was to reduce
         depreciation expense and net loss from discontinued
         operations for the year ended December 31, 1994, by
         approximately $2,115,000 or $0.31 per share.

    (c)  After posting four consecutive years of operating losses at
         its Aircraft Maintenance unit, the Company concluded it had
         suffered a partial impairment of its investment in this
         unit.  Accordingly, it recorded an estimate of the
         applicable goodwill ($5,242,000) and other assets
         ($4,250,000) that would be written down in the event the
         consolidation or shut-down of one of the facilities became
         necessary.  The amount of goodwill represents the
         unamortized balance as of December 31, 1994, of the goodwill
         allocated to the maintenance unit in Florida at the time of
         the Company's 1988 LBO and merger.  The amount of write-down
         of other assets consists of estimated losses to dispose of
         the inventory, property and equipment and to otherwise
         reserve for shut-down/consolidation of facilities.

    (d)  The Company has charged interest expense to discontinued
         operations of $7,950,000 and $10,715,000 in 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.  The interest expense charged is the sum of
         the interest on the debt of the discontinued operations
         assumed by the buyers plus an allocation of other
         consolidated interest that was not directly attributable to
         the continuing operations of the Company.  The amount
         allocated was based on the ratio of net assets of the
         discontinued operations to the sum of total net assets of
         the Company plus consolidated debt other than debt of the
         discontinued operations that was assumed by the buyer and
         debt that was not directly attributed to any other
         operations of the Company.  Subsequent to the
         discontinuance, the allocated interest (and applicable debt)
         was substantially eliminated by using the proceeds of the
         sale to pay off DynCorp debt in amounts substantially equal
         to the amounts used to allocate interest to the discontinued
         business activities.

    The sale of the subsidiaries resulted in a partial termination
of the ESOP and termination of all active participants of the
subsidiaries.  These employees were entitled to put their ESOP shares
(approximately 493,000 shares) sooner than had been previously
anticipated.  These shares have been included in the estimated annual
repurchase commitment reported in Note 7, Redeemable Common Stock.

(3)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate the value:

    Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Income Taxes -
The carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short
maturity of these instruments.

    Long-term debt and other liabilities - The fair value of the
Company's long-term debt is based on the current rate as if the issue
date were December 31, 1996 and 1995 for its Collateralized Notes.
For the remaining long-term debt (see Note 5) and other liabilities,
the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
December 31, are as follows (in thousands):

                                               1996              1995

  Long-term debt and other liabilities  103,855  103,855  104,112  105,584

(4)  Accounts Receivable and Contracts in Process

  The components of accounts receivable and contracts in process were
as follows at December 31 (in thousands):

                                                            1996       1995
  U.S. Government:
   Billed and billable                                  $108,301   $109,937
   Recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress
     completed but not billed                             26,473     26,130
   Retainage due upon completion of contracts              2,343      1,901
                                                         137,117    137,968
  Other Customers (primarily subcontracts from
   U.S. Government prime contractors and other state,
    local and quasi-government agencies):
   Billed and billable (less allowance for doubtful
    accounts of $229 in 1996 and $9 in 1995)              42,689     32,479
   Recoverable costs and accrued profit on progress
    completed but not billed                               7,873      9,259
                                                          50,562     41,738
                                                        $187,679   $179,706

  Billed and billable include amounts earned and contractually
billable at year-end but which were not billed because customer
invoices had not yet been prepared at year-end.  Recoverable costs
and accrued profit not billed is composed primarily of amounts
recognized as revenues, but which are not contractually billable at
the balance sheet dates.  It is expected that all amounts at December
31, 1996 will be collected within one year except for approximately
$10,794,000.

(5)  Long-term Debt

  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, long-term debt consisted of (in
thousands):

                                                        1996      1995
  Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes,
   Series 1992-1                                    $100,000  $100,000
  Mortgages payable                                    3,461     3,802
  Notes payable, due in installments through
    2002, 11.43% weighted average interest rate          722     1,570
                                                     104,183   105,372
  Less current portion                                   628     1,260
                                                    $103,555  $104,112

Debt maturities as of December 31, 1996, were as follows (in thousands):

               1997                                 $     628
               1998                                       494
               1999                                       297
               2000                                    50,328
               2001                                       218
               Thereafter                              52,218
                                                    $ 104,183

  On January 23, 1992, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Dyn
Funding Corporation (DFC), completed a private placement of
$100,000,000 of 8.54% Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes,
Series 1992-1 (the "Notes").  The Notes are collateralized by the
right to receive proceeds from certain U.S. Government contracts and
certain eligible accounts receivable of commercial customers of the
Company and its subsidiaries.   Credit support for the Notes is
provided by overcollateralization in the form of additional
receivables.  The Company retains an interest in the excess balance
of receivables through its ownership of the common stock of DFC.
Interest payments are made monthly with monthly principal payments
originally scheduled to begin  February 28, 1997 but extended to May
30, 1997.  (The period between January 23, 1992 and January 30, 1997
is referred to as the Non-Amortization Period.)  The Company has secured
financing (9 1/2% Senior Notes) and also has available its revolving
credit facility to satisfy the maturity obligations of the debt.
At December 31, 1996, the debt remains classified as long-term.

  On an ongoing basis, cash receipts from the collection of the
receivables are used to make interest payments on the Notes, pay a
servicing fee to the Company, and purchase additional receivables
from the Company.  During the Non-Amortization Period, cash in excess
of the amount required to purchase additional receivables and meet
payments on the Notes is to be paid to the Company subject to certain
collateral coverage tests.  The receivables pledged as security for
the Notes are valued at a discount from their stated value for
purposes of determining adequate credit support.  DFC is required to
maintain receivables, at their discounted values, plus cash on
deposit at least equal to the outstanding balance of the Notes.

  At December 31, 1996, $122,786,000 of accounts receivable are
restricted as collateral for the Notes.  Additionally, $3,000,000 of
cash is restricted as collateral for the Notes and has been included
in Other Assets on the balance sheet at December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995.  Also classified as Other Assets on the balance
sheet at December 31, 1995 is $6,244,000 of cash restricted as
collateral for letters of credit.  During 1996, these letters of
credit had expired or were replaced by letters of credit with no
collateral requirements and the funds were subsequently released.

  In March 1996, the Company amended and restated its existing
$20,000,000 line of credit with Citicorp North America, Inc. to
provide for a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility to meet working
capital and capital expenditure requirements and fund acquisitions.
The facility matures in four years, with no payments required until
the end of the second year.  As of December 31, 1996, the Company
had incurred $1,310,000 of deferred debt expense related to the
amended credit facility.  The agreement contains customary
restrictions on the ability of the Company to undertake certain
activities, such as the incurrence of additional debt, the payment
of dividends on or the repurchase of the Company's common stock, the
merger of the Company into another company, the sale of
substantially all of the Company's assets, and the acquisition of
the stock or substantially all of the assets of another company.
The agreement also stipulates that the Company must maintain certain
financial ratios, including specified ratios of earnings to interest
expense, earnings to fixed charges, and debt to earnings.  The
Company utilized this credit facility sporadically throughout 1996,
never exceeding $5,000,000 in borrowings at any given point in time.
There were no borrowings under this line of credit at December 31,
1996.

  During 1995, the Company repurchased or called all of the
outstanding 16% Junior Subordinated Debentures.  The Company has
recorded an extraordinary loss of $2,886,000, net of an income tax
benefit of $1,900,000 consisting primarily of the write-off of
unamortized discount or deferred financing costs and also various
transaction costs.  The Debentures were scheduled to mature on June
30, 2003, and bore interest at 16% per annum, payable semi-annually.
The Company could, at its option, prior to September 9, 1995, pay
the interest either in cash or issue additional Debentures.  During
1994, $15,329,000 of additional Debentures were issued in lieu of
cash interest payments (includes $6,542,000 allocated to
discontinued operations).

  The Company obtained title to its corporate office building on
July 31, 1992 by assuming a mortgage of $19,456,000.  The mortgage
maturity date was May 27, 1993; however, as provided, the Company
extended the mortgage to March 27, 1995 with an increase in the
interest rate of 1/2% per annum plus an extension fee.  On February
7, 1995, the Company sold the building to RREEF America Reit Corp. C
and entered into a 12-year lease with RREEF as the landlord.  The
facility was sold for $13,780,000 and the proceeds were applied to
the mortgage.  A net gain of $3,430,000 was realized on the
transaction and is being amortized over the life of the lease.

  The Company acquired the Alexandria, VA headquarters of Technology
Applications, Inc. ("TAI") on November 12, 1993, in conjunction with
the acquisition of TAI.  A mortgage of $3,344,000 bearing interest
at 8% per annum was assumed.  Payments are made monthly and the
mortgage matures in April 2003.  Additionally, a $1,150,000
promissory note was issued.  The note bears interest at 7% per
annum.  Payments under the note shall be made quarterly through
October 1998.

  Deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized using the
effective interest rate method over the terms of the related debt.
At December 31, 1996, unamortized deferred debt issuance costs were
$1,271,000 and amortization for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $829,000,
$743,000 and $324,000, respectively.

(6)  Accrued Expenses

  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, accrued expenses consisted of the
following (in thousands):

                                                1996     1995

(7)  Redeemable Common Stock

  Common stock which is redeemable has been reflected as Temporary
Equity at the redeemable value at each balance sheet date and
consists of the following:

ESOP Shares

  In accordance with ERISA regulations and the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the Plan) documents, the ESOP Trust or the Company is
obligated to purchase vested common stock shares from ESOP
participants (see Note 12) at the fair value (as determined by an
independent appraiser) as long as the Company's common stock is not
publicly traded.  The shares initially bought by the ESOP in 1988
were bought at a "control price," reflecting the higher price that
buyers typically pay when they buy an entire company (as the ESOP and
other investors did in 1988).  A special provision in the ESOP's 1988
agreement permits participants to receive a "control price" when they
sell these shares back to the Company under the ESOP's "put option"
provisions.  This "control price," determined by the appraiser as of
December 31, 1996, was $23.70 per share.  The additional shares
received by the ESOP in 1993 through 1995 were at a "minority
interest price," reflecting the lower price that buyers typically pay
when they are buying only a small piece of a company (as the ESOP did
in these years).  Participants do not have the right to sell these
shares at the "control price."  The minority interest price
determined by the independent appraiser as of December 31, 1996 was
$20.00 per share.  Participants receive their vested shares upon
retirement, becoming disabled, or death, over a period of one to five
years and for other reasons of termination over a period of one to
ten years, all as set forth in the Plan documents.  In the event the
fair value of a share is less than $27.00, the Company was committed
to pay, through December 31, 1996, up to an aggregate of $16,000,000,
the difference (Premium) between the fair value and $27.00 per share.
The Company estimated a total Premium of $8,500,000 and recorded the
Premium as Other Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
in 1989 through 1994 (see Note 13).  As of December 31, 1996, the
Company had expended $6,976,000 of the $8,500,000 Premium.  In the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Company reversed $1,250,000, revising its
estimated ESOP Premium.  The remaining liability represents the
Company's obligation to honor the Premium commitment to ESOP
participants who were grandfathered in due to minor administrative
changes in the plan in 1995.  From October 1990 through May 1996, the
Company had purchased 633,453 shares from participants.  In June
1996, the ESOP Trust began purchasing participants' shares at fair
value, utilizing the cash available from the Company's 1996
contribution (see Note 12), while the Company continued to pay the
premium.  Based on the fair values of $23.70 and $20.00 per share at
December 31, 1996, the estimated aggregate annual commitment to
repurchase shares from the ESOP participants upon death, disability,
retirement and termination is as follows: $4,814,000 in 1997, $7,326,000
in 1998, $6,750,000 in 1999, $7,757,000 in 2000, $10,795,000 in 2001
and $98,901,000 thereafter.  Under the Subscription Agreement with
the ESOP dated September 9, 1988, the Company is permitted to defer
put options if, under Delaware law, the capital of the Company would
be impaired as a result of such repurchase.  At December 31, 1996 and
1995, 6,165,957 and 6,051,997 shares, respectively, were outstanding
and included in Redeemable Common Stock.

Management Investors Shares

  Redeemable common stock held by management investors includes those
shares acquired by management investors pursuant to the merger in
1988, shares earned through the Restricted Stock Plan (see Note 10)
and shares issued through the Management Employees Stock Purchase
Plan (the Stock Purchase Plan).  The Stock Purchase Plan allowed
employees in management, supervisory or senior administrative
positions to purchase shares of the Company's common stock along with
warrants at current fair value.  The Board of Directors was
responsible for establishing the fair value for purposes of the
Stockholders Agreement and the Stock Purchase Plan.  The Stock
Purchase Plan was discontinued in 1994.  Treasury stock, which the
Company acquired from terminated employees who had previously
purchased shares from the Company, was issued to employees purchasing
stock under the Stock Purchase Plan.  Under the DynCorp Stockholders
Agreement adopted in March 1994 and which expires in March 1999, the
Company was committed, upon an employee's termination of employment,
to purchase common stock shares held by employees pursuant to the
merger, through the Stock Purchase Plan or through the Restricted
Stock Plan.  In May 1995, the Board of Directors, with the consent of
the Class C Preferred stockholder, approved the establishment of an
Internal Market as a replacement for the resale procedures included
in the DynCorp Stockholders Agreement.  In May 1996, the Securities
and Exchange Commission approved the registration of shares for
trading on the Internal Market, thus releasing the Company from its
obligation to repurchase any management or restricted stock shares.
Therefore, the management investor shares have been reclassified from
Temporary Equity (at the redemption value) to Permanent Equity (at
par value) as of December 31, 1996.

  The share price at December 31, 1995 for the Management Investor
and Stock Purchase shares was $14.50 per common share and $109.64 for
each share for which warrants had   not been exercised (one share of
common stock at $14.50 per share plus 6.6767 warrants at $14.25 per
warrant).  At December 31, 1995, 2,082,078 shares were outstanding
and included in Redeemable Common Stock.

Other Shares

  In conjunction with the acquisition of Technology Applications,
Inc. in November 1993, the Company issued put options on 125,714
shares of common stock.  The holder may, at any time commencing on
December 31, 1998 and ending on December 31, 2000, sell these shares
to the Company at a price per share equal to the greater of $17.50;
or, if the stock is publicly traded, the market value at a specified
date; or, if the Company's stock is not publicly traded, the fair
value at the time of exercise.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
125,714 shares of common stock were outstanding and included in
Redeemable Common Stock.

  Following are the changes in Redeemable Common Stock for the three
years ended December 31, 1996 (in thousands):

(8)   Preferred Stock Class C

  Class C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the
holder, into one share of common stock, adjusted for any stock
splits, stock dividends or redemption.  At conversion, the holder of
Class C Preferred Stock is also entitled to receive such warrants as
have been distributed to the holders of the common stock.  Dividends
accrue at an annual rate of 18%, compounded quarterly.  At December
31, 1996, cumulative dividends of $11,147,000 have not been recorded
or paid.  Dividends will be payable only in the event of a
liquidation of the Company or when cash dividends are declared with
respect to common stock and only in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of dividends that such holder would have been
entitled to receive if such Class C Preferred Stock had been
converted into common stock.  The holder of Class C Preferred Stock
is entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to the
holders of common stock for stockholder approval.  In addition, so
long as any Class C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is
prohibited from engaging in certain significant transactions without
the affirmative vote of the holder of the outstanding Class C
Preferred Stock.  In February 1997, the ESOP purchased all of the
Class C Preferred Stock which was immediately converted into Common
Stock (see Note 24).

(9)   Common Stock

  At December 31, 1996, Common Stock includes those shares issued to
outside investors, management investor shares (i.e. shares issued
through the Restricted Stock Plan and Management Employees Stock
Purchase Plan) and any ESOP shares which have been purchased by the
Company and are being held as treasury stock.  This differs from the
December 31, 1995 classification of Common Stock which excluded the
management investor shares outstanding (see Note 7).

(10)  Common Stock Warrants and Restricted Stock

  The Company initially issued warrants on September 9, 1988 to the
Class C Preferred stockholder and to certain common stockholders to
purchase a maximum of 5,891,987 shares of common stock of the
Company.  The warrants issued to Class C Preferred stockholder and to
certain common stockholders were recorded at their fair value of
$2.43 per warrant and warrants issued to a lender were recorded at
$3.28 per warrant.  Each warrant is exercisable to obtain one share
of common stock.  The stockholder may exercise the warrant and pay in
cash the exercise price of $0.25 for one share of common stock or may
sell back to the Company a sufficient number of the exercised shares
to equal the value of the warrants to be exercised.  During 1996,
68,253 warrants were exercised and 4,254,196 warrants were
outstanding at December 31, 1996.  Rights under the warrants lapse no
later than September 9, 1998.  In February 1997, the ESOP purchased
all the Class C Preferred Stock which was immediately converted into
Common Stock (see Note 24).

  The Company had a Restricted Stock Plan (the Plan) under which
management and key employees could be awarded shares of common stock
based on the Company's performance.  The Company initially reserved
1,023,037 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.  Under
the Plan, Restricted Stock Units (Units) were granted to participants
who were selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors.  Each Unit entitled the participant upon achievement of
the performance goals (all as defined) to receive one share of the
Company's common stock.  Units could not be converted into shares of
common stock until the participant's interest in the Units had
vested.  Vesting occurred upon completion of the specified periods as
set forth in the Plan.  In 1994, the Company accrued as compensation
expense $1,222,000 under the Plan which was charged to Cost of
Services and Corporate Selling and Administrative Expenses.  At
December 31, 1995, 417,265 shares were unissued and were included in
Redeemable Common Stock-Management Investors (see Note 7).


(11)  Cummings Point Industries, Inc. Note Receivable

     The Company loaned $5,500,000 (the "Note") to Cummings Point
Industries, Inc., of which Capricorn Investors, L.P. ("Capricorn")
owns more than 10%.  By separate agreement and as security to the
Company, Capricorn agreed to purchase the Note from the Company upon
three months' notice, for the amount of outstanding principal plus
accrued interest.  As additional security, Capricorn's purchase
obligation was collateralized by certain common stock and warrants
issued by the Company and owned by Capricorn.  The Note, which had
previously been reflected as a reduction in stockholders' equity,
was paid in full in August, 1995.

(12)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan

  In September 1988, the Company established an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the Plan).  The Company borrowed $100 million and
loaned the proceeds, on the same terms as the Company's borrowings,
to the Plan to purchase 4,123,711 shares of common stock of the
Company (the ESOP loan).  The common stock purchased by the Plan
was held in a collateral account as security for the ESOP loan from
the Company.  The Company was obligated to make contributions to the
Plan in at least the same amount as required to pay the principal and
interest installments under the Plan's borrowings.  The Plan used the
Company contributions to repay the principal and interest on the ESOP
loan.  As the ESOP loan was liquidated, shares of the Company's
common stock were released from the collateral account and allocated
to participants of the Plan.  As of December 31, 1993, the loan was
fully repaid.

  In accordance with subsequent amendments to the Plan,
the Company contributed an additional 25,000 shares
of common stock in December 1993 and in 1994 contributed cash of
$17,435,000 which the ESOP used to acquire 1,312,459 shares and to
pay interest and administrative expenses.  In 1995, the Company sold
1,208,059 additional shares of common stock to the ESOP for
$4,250,000 cash and $13,750,000 in the form of a note receivable.
Payments on the note through December 31, 1995 were $13,247,000.  The
unpaid balance on the note receivable from the ESOP has been
reflected as a reduction in stockholders' equity at December 31,
1995.  In 1996, the Company contributed $13,670,000 in cash to the
ESOP.  Utilizing the Company's 1996 contribution, the ESOP paid the
balance of the note to the Company, releasing 33,763 shares from the
collateral account, and has thus far expended $4,849,000 of the
remaining contribution to purchase 130,177 shares of the Company's
stock on the newly established Internal Market, acquire 122,117
shares put for redemption by retired and terminated participants and
to pay administrative expenses.  It is the Company's intention for
the ESOP to completely satisfy its future stock purchase requirements
by way of the Internal Market or direct purchase and with shares put
by retired or terminated participants and not through the issue of
new shares by the Company.

  The Plan covers a majority of the employees of the Company.
Participants in the Plan become fully vested after four years of
service.   All of the 6,921,523 shares acquired by the ESOP have been
either issued or allocated to participants as of December 31, 1996.
The Company recognizes ESOP expense each year based on the fair value
of the shares committed to be released.  In 1996, 1995 and 1994, cash
contributions to the ESOP were $13,670,000, $17,497,000 and
$17,435,000, respectively.  These amounts were charged to Cost of
Services and Corporate Selling and Administrative Expenses.

          Total Other                              $ 5,474  $10,212  $ 7,628

  (a) In June 1994 the Company paid $3,000,000 for a 25% interest in
      Composite Technology, Inc. ("CTI") and recorded $1,375,000 of
      goodwill in conjunction with the investment.  The investment
      in CTI allowed the Company to receive the unrestricted North
      American license for a particular aircraft repair technology
      which was fundamental to several existing contracts and bids
      in process.  Since 1994, the volume of business in this area
      has declined and the Company has determined the goodwill
      associated with this investment has been impaired.
      Accordingly, the unamortized balance at December 31, 1996,
      $1,286,000, has been charged to Other Expense.  At this time,
      the Company does not believe the underlying equity in the 25%
      investment in CTI has been impaired.

      The Company initially invested in Business Mail Express, Inc.
      ("BME") in April 1992.  In June 1994, the Company paid an
      additional $1,250,000 to increase its holdings in the
      subsidiary from 40% to 50.1% and the subsidiary concurrently
      borrowed $6,000,000 from another investor.  The total
      acquisition cost exceeded the underlying equity in net assets
      by $2,582,000.  The subsidiary's stockholders' agreement
      defined certain trigger events which, upon their occurrence,
      transferred control of the subsidiary from DynCorp to the
      other shareholders.  These trigger events occurred in the
      fourth quarter of 1994 and the subsidiary's lenders called the
      loans in 1995.  These actions, coupled with financial and cash
      flow projections provided by the subsidiary's management, led
      the Company to determine that its investment had been
      permanently impaired.  As such, $3,250,000 representing the
      investment and excess purchase price was charged to Other
      Expenses in 1994.  The investment was disposed of in 1995 for
      book value.

  (b) In 1993, expenses were incurred and an accrual was established
      for estimated future legal costs and possible fines and
      penalties associated with a federal investigation of an
      allegation that false statements were made in connection with
      a pricing proposal submitted by an acquired business prior to
      its acquisition in 1991.  The investigation was concluded in
      1994 with the government finding no basis for prosecution.  As
      a consequence, the Company not only recovered a portion of its
      prior expenses, but also avoided any fines and penalties;
      consequently, the unused portion of the accrual was reversed
      in 1994.

  (c) Reserves for potential uninsured costs to defend and settle future
      asbestos claims against a former subsidiary (see Note 21(a)).
      This adjustment was recorded in the fourth quarter 1995
      because of the following events which occurred in that period.

      (i)   During November 1995, the subsidiary involved in the
            asbestos litigation received two significant unfavorable
            jury verdicts.  (These cases are currently under appeal.)

      (ii)  During the fourth quarter, the Company became aware of
            approximately 1,100 additional law suits filed immediately
            prior to the September 1, 1995 effective date of the Texas Tort
            Reform Act.  (The Company believes this surge was attributable
            to the Texas tort reform legislation as described in Note 21
            (a).)  The Company was not notified of these cases until the fourth
            quarter of 1995 due to an administrative backlog in the Texas
            court system caused by the tremendous volume of cases filed prior
            to the September 1, 1995 effective date of the Texas tort reform
            legislation.

      (iii) During the fourth quarter, the Company received notification
            from one of the subsidiary's primary insurance carriers to
            the effect that the carrier considered its coverage to be
            exhausted and that it was withdrawing its prior verbal
            commitment to a negotiated settlement of its coverage limits
            and obligations to defend.

      These events precipitated a reassessment (increase) of the
      estimated minimum claim liability and a greater concern as to
      the full recovery of all claims from the carriers.  After
      consulting with its defense counsel and professional advisors
      regarding its asbestos position,it was decided that it was appropriate
      to record an additional $5,300,000 accrual, increasing the
      overall accrual to $7,000,000.

  (d) Reserves for the estimated costs (primarily legal defense)
      to resolve a lawsuit filed by a subcontractor of a former
      subsidiary (see Note 21(b)).

  (e) During 1996, several senior executives and a member of the
      Board of Directors announced their intentions to either retire
      or step down from their positions with the Company.  In
      conjunction with this action, the Company has accrued
      $3,299,000, representing commitments to these individuals for
      supplemental pension benefits, consulting fees, payments due
      under a covenant not to compete, remuneration for the waiver
      of certain preferred stock and Board of Directors voting
      rights as well as accrued life insurance premiums payable.

(14)  Income Taxes

  Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and
minority interest (but including extraordinary item - see Note 5)
were derived from the following (in thousands):

The federal and state valuation allowances represent reserves for
income tax benefits which were not recognized in prior years due to
the uncertainty regarding future earnings.

  The tax provision (benefit) differs from the amounts obtained by
applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to the pre-tax
earnings (loss) from continuing operations amounts.  The differences
can be reconciled as follows (in thousands):

      The Company's U.S. Federal income tax returns have been
  cleared through 1993.  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed two
  examinations of the Company's tax returns; for the period 1985-
  1988 and for the period 1989-1993.  The IRS proposed several
  adjustments to both periods, the most significant of which
  related to deductions taken by the Company for expenses incurred
  in the 1988 merger.  The Company and the IRS settled the proposed
  adjustments for the 1985-1988 audit in 1994 and the Joint
  Congressional Committee on Taxation issued its approval of the
  settlement on December 7, 1995.  The Company and the IRS agreed
  upon the proposed adjustments of the 1989-1993 audit in 1995, and
  the Joint Congressional Committee on Taxation issued its approval
  of the settlement on May 30, 1996.

      The provision for income taxes in 1996 is based on reported
  earnings, adjusted to reflect the impact of temporary differences
  between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for
  financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax
  purposes, and a provision for foreign taxes related to prior
  years' foreign operations.  The tax benefit in 1995 reflects a
  tax provision based on an estimated annual effective tax rate,
  excluding expenses not deductible for tax.  Additionally,
  $4,067,000 and $7,707,000 of tax valuation reserves were reversed
  in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  These deferred taxes have been
  realized primarily as offsets against the current year's earnings
  and the gain on the sale of the Commercial Aviation business in
  1995.  The 1994 federal tax benefit resulted from the reversal of
  tax reserves from settlement of the above noted IRS examination
  and the tax benefit for operating losses, net of a valuation
  allowance, less the federal tax provision of a majority owned
  subsidiary required to file a separate return.

       The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards
  available to offset future taxable income.  Following are the net
  operating losses by year of expiration (in thousands):

               Year of           State Net
              Expiration      Operating Losses
                 1999            $ 4,798
                 2001              6,959
                 2003                199
                 2006                 24
                 2011             41,437
                                 $53,417

(15)  Pension Plans

  Union employees who are not participants in the ESOP are covered
by multiemployer pension plans under which the Company pays fixed
amounts, generally per hours worked, according to the provisions of
the various labor contracts.  In 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company
expensed $2,837,000, $2,514,000 and $2,367,000, respectively, for
these plans.  Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of
1980, an employer is liable upon withdrawal from or termination of a
multiemployer plan for its proportionate share of the plan's
unfunded vested benefits liability.  Based on information provided
by the administrators of the majority of these multiemployer plans,
the Company does not believe there is any significant amount of
unfunded vested liability under these plans.

(16)  Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

  Primary and fully diluted earnings or loss per share from
continuing operations before extraordinary item is computed by
dividing earnings (loss), after deducting the effect of the unpaid
dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock ($2,284,000 in 1996,
$1,915,000 in 1995 and $1,606,000 in 1994), by the weighted average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.  In addition, shares earned and vested but
unissued under the Restricted Stock Plan are included as outstanding
common stock.  In 1994, warrants outstanding have been excluded from
the calculation of loss per share as their effect is antidilutive
because of the losses incurred during the period (see also Note 10).
For years 1996, 1995 and 1994, shares which would be issued under
the assumed conversion of Class C Preferred Stock have been excluded
from the calculation of earnings per share as their effect is
antidilutive.  The average number of shares used in determining
primary earnings or loss per share was 11,736,271 in 1996,
11,745,251 in 1995 and 6,802,012 in 1994.

  Supplementary earnings per share has been presented to reflect the
conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock and the repurchase of other common
stock and stock warrants, all as if these
transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period.  The
unpaid Class C dividends have been added back to net earnings for
the period and interest and deferred debt amortization have been
adjusted (net of tax) to reflect the terms of the borrowings required
to effect the above mentioned conversion and repurchase.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been
adjusted to reflect the conversion of the Class C Preferred Stock
and exercise of the attached warrants as well as the repurchase of
certain other common stock and stock warrants, all of which served
to decrease the weighted average shares outstanding to 10,231,319
(see Note 24).

(17)  Incentive Compensation Plans

  The Company has several formal incentive compensation plans which
provide for incentive payments to officers and key employees.
Incentive payments under these plans are based upon operational
performance, individual performance, or a combination thereof, as
defined in the plans.  Incentive compensation expense was $6,367,000
for 1996, $6,692,000 for 1995 and $7,067,000 for 1994.

(18)  Stock Option Plan

     The Company adopted an incentive stock option plan in December
1995, whereby options may be granted to officers and other key
employees to purchase a maximum of 1,250,000 common shares at an
option price not less than the most recently determined fair market
value as of the grant date.  Options issued under the plan may be
exercised only when vested and vest proportionately over a period of
five years.  Options which are not exercised within seven years from
the date of the grant shall expire.  Changes in stock options
outstanding were as follows:

                                             Exercise Price
                                              or Range of    Weighted Average
                                  Shares     Exercise Prices  Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31,1995  318,000          $14.90         $14.90
Granted                          518,000        14.50-19.00       17.66
Canceled or terminated           (15,500)          14.90          14.90
Exercised                           (600)          14.90          14.90
Outstanding at December 31,1996  819,900       $14.50-19.00      $16.64

Exercisable at year-end           64,900

         The Company has opted to account for its stock option plan in
  accordance with APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
  Employees."  Accordingly, under the intrinsic value based method
  of accounting for options, no compensation cost has been
  recognized. SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation"
  encourages, but does not require, adoption of the fair value based
  method of accounting for employee stock options.  The fair value
  of each option grant is equal to the Formula Price at the date of grant
  (see Item 5 "Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related
  Stockholder Matters" included elsewhere in this Annual Report
  Form 10-K). The minimum value is determined assuming a
  five year expected life of the options, a risk-free interest rate
  of 7% and a volatility factor of zero.  Had the Company adopted
  SFAS No. 123, common stockholders' share of net earnings and earnings
  per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 would have been
  approximately $9,385,000 and $0.80, respectively. Comparable data
  has not been presented for December 31, 1995, as none of the options
  had vested and therefore no additional compensation costs would be
  assumed.

(19)  Leases

     Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases
that have remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one
year at December 31, 1996 are summarized below (in thousands):

                    Years Ending December 31,
              1997                         $ 7,523
              1998                           7,254
              1999                           6,423
              2000                           2,526
              2001                           2,110
              Thereafter                    10,508
              Total minimum lease payments $36,344

    Net rent expense for leases was $21,797,000 for 1996, $24,734,000 for
1995 and $14,286,000 for 1994.

(20) Acquisitions

    On June 21, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of stock of Data Management Design, Inc. ("DMDI") for a
cash payment of $2,400,000 and in January 1997 a final payment of
$24,000 was made to the former owners of DMDI pursuant to the
settlement of the closing balance sheet.  DMDI, headquartered in
Reston, Virginia, provides automated workflow and image processing
solutions to federal agencies and the private sector.  The
acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and $1,669,000 of
goodwill, which will be amortized over 15 years, has been recorded
based on the initial allocation of the purchase price.  The
Company also acquired certain assets (primarily internally
developed software) of ESG, Incorporated for $1,100,000 in cash.
These acquisitions would not have had a material impact on the results
of operations assuming the transactions had been consumated at the
beginning of the period.

(21) Contingencies and Litigation

    The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are involved
in various claims and lawsuits, including contract disputes and
claims based on allegations of negligence and other tortious
conduct.  The Company is also potentially liable for certain
personal injury, tax, environmental and contract dispute issues
related to the prior operations of divested businesses.  In
addition, certain subsidiary companies are potentially liable for
environmental, personal injury and contract and dispute claims.
In most cases, the Company and its subsidiaries have denied, or
believe they have a basis to deny, liability, and in some cases
have offsetting claims against the plaintiffs, third parties or
insurance carriers.  The total amount of damages currently claimed
by the plaintiffs in these cases is estimated to be approximately
$122,000,000 (including compensatory punitive damages and
penalties).  The Company believes that the amount that will
actually be recovered in these cases will be substantially less
than the amount claimed.  After taking into account available
insurance, the Company believes it is adequately reserved with
respect to the potential liability for such claims.  The estimates
set forth above do not reflect claims that may have been incurred
but have not yet been filed.  The Company has recorded such
damages and penalties that are considered to be probable
recoveries against the Company or its subsidiaries.

(a) Asbestos Claims

    An acquired and inactive subsidiary, Fuller-Austin Insulation
Company ("Fuller-Austin"), which discontinued its business
activities in 1986, has been named as one of many defendants in
civil lawsuits which have been filed in certain state courts
beginning in 1986 (principally Texas) against manufacturers,
distributors and installers of asbestos products.  Fuller-Austin
was a nonmanufacturer that installed or distributed industrial
insulation products.  Fuller-Austin had discontinued the use of
asbestos-containing products prior to being acquired by the
Company in 1974.  These claims are not part of a class action.

    The claimants generally allege injuries to their health caused
by inhalation of asbestos fibers.  Many of the claimants seek
punitive damages as well as compensatory damages.  The amount of
damages sought is impacted by a multitude of factors.  These
include the type and severity of the disease sustained by the
claimant (i.e. mesothelioma, lung cancer, other types of cancer,
asbestosis or pleural changes); the occupation of the claimant;
the duration of the claimant's exposure to asbestos-containing
products; the number and financial resources of the defendants;
the jurisdiction in which the claim is filed; the presence or
absence of other possible causes of the claimant's illness; the
availability of legal defenses such as the statute of limitations;
and whether the claim was made on an individual basis or as part
of a group claim.

    Claim Exposure

    As of March 1, 1997, 13,117 plaintiffs have filed claims
against Fuller-Austin and various other defendants.  Of these
claims 2,599 have been dismissed, 3,561 have been resolved without
an admission of liability at an average cost of $3,667 per claim
(excluding legal defense costs) and an additional 1,274 claims
have been settled in principle (subject to future processing and
funding) at an average cost of $1,923 per claim.

Following is a summary of claims filed against Fuller-Austin
through March 1, 1997:

                                       Years

(1)  As of March 1, 1997

        In connection with these claims, Fuller-Austin's primary
insurance carriers have incurred approximately $21,600,000
(including $8,500,000 of legal defense costs, but excluding
$2,500,000 for settlements in process) to defend and settle the
claims and, in addition, judgments have been entered against
Fuller-Austin for jury verdicts of $6,500,000 which have not been
paid and which are under appeal by Fuller-Austin.  Through
December 31, 1996, the Company and Fuller-Austin have charged to
expense approximately $12,500,000 consisting of $6,200,000 of
charges under retrospectively rated insurance policies and
$6,300,000 of reserves for potential uninsured legal and
settlement costs related to these claims.  These charges
substantially eliminate any further exposure for retrospectively
determined premium payments under the retrospectively rated
insurance policies.

     During 1996, Fuller-Austin continued its strategy to require
direct proof that claimants had exposure to asbestos-containing
products as the result of Fuller-Austin's operations.  This has
resulted in an increase in claim settlements and a decrease in
litigation defense activities.  However, perceived changes in the
nature of new claims filed in 1996 have caused Fuller-Austin and
its insurers to reevaluate Fuller-Austin's approach to claims
settlement.  Consequently, there is a potential for an increased
level of trial activity which Fuller-Austin believes will reduce
the overall cost of asbestos personal injury claims in the long
run by requiring claimants to present and prove clear evidence of
substantial asbestos-related impairment and exposure to Fuller-
Austin's operations, and by denying recovery to claimants who are
unimpaired or who did not have significant exposure to Fuller-
Austin's operations.  Further, the level of filed claims has
become significant only since 1992, and therefore, Fuller-Austin
has a relatively brief history (compared to manufacturers and
suppliers) of claims volume and a limited data file upon which to
estimate the number or costs of claims that may be received in the
future.  Also, effective September 1, 1995, the State of Texas
enacted tort reform legislation which Fuller-Austin believes will
ultimately curtail the number of unsubstantiated asbestos claims
filed against the subsidiary in Texas.

     The Company and its defense counsel have analyzed the 13,117
claim filings incurred through March 1, 1997.  Based on this
analysis and consultation with its professional advisors, Fuller-
Austin has estimated its cost, including legal defense costs, to
be $17,000,000 for claims filed and still unsettled and
$38,500,000 as its minimum estimate of future costs of unasserted
claims, including legal defense costs.  No upper limit of exposure
can presently be reasonably estimated.  The Company cautions that
these estimates are subject to significant uncertainties including
the future effect of tort reform legislation enacted in Texas and
other states, the success of Fuller-Austin's litigation strategy,
the size of jury verdicts, success of appeals in process, the
number and financial resources of future plaintiffs, and the
actions of other defendants.  In addition, during 1996,
approximately 40 claims, with approximately 700 more being
prepared for filing, were filed in the State of Louisiana where
Fuller-Austin had performed a significant amount of its business.
Exposure for significant non-Texas claims has not been included in
the Company's estimates and neither the Company nor its defense
counsel are able to reasonably predict the outcome of these cases
or the incidence of future claims that may be filed.  Therefore,
actual claim experience may vary significantly from such
estimates, especially if certain Texas appeals are decided
unfavorably to Fuller-Austin and/or the level of claims filed in
Louisiana increases.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Fuller-Austin
recorded an estimated liability for future indemnity payments and
defense costs related to currently unsettled claims and minimum
estimated future claims of $55,000,000 and $60,000,000,
respectively, (recorded as long-term liability).

     Insurance coverage

     Defense has been tendered to and accepted by Fuller-Austin's
primary insurance carriers, and by certain of the Company's
primary insurance carriers that issued policies under which
Fuller-Austin is named as an additional insured; however, only one
such primary carrier has partially accepted defense without a
reservation of rights.  The Company believes that Fuller-Austin
has at least $7,900,000 in unexhausted primary coverage (net of
deductibles and self-insured retentions but including disputed
coverage) under its liability insurance policies to cover the
unsettled claims, verdicts and future unasserted claims and
defense costs.  The primary carriers also have unlimited liability
for defense costs (presently running at the annual rate of
approximately $1,500,000) until such time as the primary limits
under these policies are exhausted.  When the primary limits are
exhausted, liability for both indemnity and legal defense will be
tendered to the excess coverage carriers, all of which have been
notified of the pendency of the asbestos claims.  The Company and
Fuller-Austin have approximately $490,000,000 of additional excess
and umbrella insurance that is generally responsive to asbestos
claims.  This amount excludes approximately $92,000,000 of
coverage issued by insolvent carriers.  After the $7,900,000 of
unexhausted primary coverage, the Company has $35,700,000 of
excess coverage in place before entering a $35,000,000 layer of
insolvent coverage for policy years 1979 through 1984 (the
"Insolvent Layer").  All of the Company's and Fuller-Austin's
liability insurance policies cover indemnity payments and defense
fees and expenses subject to applicable policy terms and
conditions.

     Coverage litigation

     The Company and Fuller-Austin have instituted litigation in
Los Angeles Superior Court, California, against their primary and
excess insurance carriers, to obtain declaratory judgments from
the court regarding the obligations of the various carriers to
defend and pay asbestos claims.  The issues in this litigation
include the aggregate liability of the carriers, the triggering
and drop-down of excess coverage to cover the Insolvent Layer and
allocation of losses covering multiple carriers and insolvent
carriers, and various other issues relating to the interpretation
of the policy contracts.  All of the carrier defendants have filed
general denial answers.

     Although there can be no assurances as to the outcome of this
litigation, management believes that it is probable that the
Company and Fuller-Austin will prevail in obtaining judicial
rulings confirming the availability of a substantial portion of
the coverage.  Currently, the Company has excess coverage under
policies issued by solvent carriers of approximately $497,900,000
($7,900,000 in primary coverage and $490,000,000 in excess
coverage).  Based on a review of the independent ratings of these
carriers, the Company believes that a substantial portion of this
coverage will continue to be available to meet the claims.
Fuller-Austin recorded in Other Assets $55,000,000 and
$60,000,000, respectively (not including reserves of $6,000,000
and $7,000,000, respectively) at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
representing the amount that it expects to recover from its
insurance carriers for the payment of currently unsettled and
estimated future claims.

     The Company cautions, however, that even though the existence
and aggregate dollar amounts of insurance are not generally being
disputed, such insurance coverage is subject to interpretation by
the court and the timing of the availability of insurance payments
could, depending upon the outcome of the litigation and/or
negotiation, delay the receipt of insurance company payments and
require Fuller-Austin to assume responsibility for making interim
payment of asbestos defense and indemnity costs.

     While the Company and Fuller-Austin believe that they have
recorded sufficient liability to satisfy Fuller-Austin's
reasonably anticipated costs of present and future plaintiffs'
suits, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of
future suits or the future solvency of its insurers.  In the event
that currently unsettled and future claims exceed the recorded
liability of $55,000,000, the Company believes that the judicially
determined and/or negotiated amounts of excess and umbrella
insurance coverage that will be available to cover additional
claims will be significant; however, it is unable to predict
whether or not such amounts will be adequate to cover all
additional claims without further contribution by Fuller-Austin.

(b)  General Litigation

     The Company has retained certain liability in connection with
its 1989 divestiture of its major electrical contracting business,
Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric").  The Company and Dynalectric
were sued in 1988 in Bergen County Superior Court, New Jersey, by
a former Dynalectric joint venture partner/subcontractor
(subcontractor).  The subcontractor has alleged that its
subcontract to furnish certain software and services in connection
with a major municipal traffic signalization project was
improperly terminated by Dynalectric and that Dynalectric
fraudulently diverted funds due, misappropriated its trade secrets
and proprietary information, fraudulently induced it to enter the
joint venture, and conspired with other defendants to commit acts
in violation of the New Jersey Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organization Act.  The aggregate dollar amount of these claims has
not been formally recited in the subcontractor's complaint.
Dynalectric has also filed certain counterclaims against the
former subcontractor.  The Company and Dynalectric believe that
they have valid defenses, and/or that any liability would be
offset by recoveries under the counterclaims.  The Company and
Dynalectric have filed motions with the Court to enforce the
arbitration provisions included in the subcontract.  Discovery is
ongoing.  The Company believes that it has established adequate
($2,660,000 at December 31, 1996) reserves for the contemplated
defense costs and for the cost of obtaining enforcement of
arbitration provisions contained in the contract.

     In November, 1994, the Company acquired an information
technology business which was involved in various disputes with
federal and state agencies, including two contract default actions
and a qui tam suit by a former employee alleging improper billing
of a federal government agency customer.  The Company has
contractual rights to indemnification from the former owner of the
acquired subsidiary with respect to the defense of all such claims
and litigation, as well as all liability for damages when and if
proven.  In October, 1995, one of the federal agencies asserted a
claim against the subsidiary and gave the Company notice that it
intended to withhold payments against the contract under which the
claim arose.  To date, the agency has withheld  approximately
$3,300,000 allegedly due the agency under one of the
aforementioned disputes.  This subsidiary has submitted a demand
for indemnification to the former owner of the subsidiary which
has been denied.  The subsidiary recently received an arbitration
award confirming that it is entitled to indemnification.

     As to environmental issues, neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries is named a Potentially Responsible Party (as
defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (CERCLA)) at any site.  The Company, however,
did undertake, as part of the 1988 divestiture of a petrochemical
engineering subsidiary, an obligation to install and operate a
soil and water remediation system at a subsidiary research
facility site in New Jersey.  The Company is required to pay the
costs of continued operation of the remediation system which are
estimated to be $100,000 (see Note 13) In addition, the Company, pursuant
to the sale of the Commercial Aviation Business, is responsible for the
costs of clean-up of environmental conditions at certain designated sites.
Such costs may include the removal and subsequent replacement of
contaminated soil, concrete, tanks, etc., that existed prior to the
sale of the Commercial Aviation Business (see Note 2).

     The Company is a party to other civil and contractual
lawsuits which have arisen in the normal course of business for
which potential liability, including costs of defense, which
constitute the remainder of the $122,000,000 discussed above.  The
estimated probable liability for these issues is approximately
$10,000,000 and is substantially covered by insurance.  All of the
insured claims are within policy limits and have been tendered to
and accepted by the applicable carriers.  The Company has recorded
an offsetting asset (Other Assets) and liability (long-term
liability) of $10,000,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, for these
items.

     The Company has recorded its best estimate of the aggregate
liability that will result from these matters.  While it is not
possible to predict with certainty the outcome of litigation and
other matters discussed above, it is the opinion of the Company's
management, based in part upon opinions of counsel, insurance in
force and the facts currently known, that liabilities in excess of
those recorded, if any, arising from such matters would not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, consolidated
financial position or liquidity of the Company over the long-term.
However, it is possible that the timing of the resolution of
individual issues could result in a significant impact on the
operating results and/or liquidity for one or more future
reporting periods.

     The major portion of the Company's business involves
contracting with departments and agencies of, and prime
contractors to, the U.S. Government, and such contracts are
subject to possible termination for the convenience of the
government and to audit and possible adjustment to give effect to
unallowable costs under cost-type contracts or to other regulatory
requirements affecting both cost-type and fixed-price contracts.
Payments received by the Company for allowable direct and indirect
costs are subject to adjustment and repayment after audit by
government auditors if the payments exceed allowable costs.
Audits have been completed on the Company's incurred contract
costs through 1986 and are continuing for subsequent periods.
The Company has included an allowance for
excess billings and contract losses in its financial statements
that it believes is adequate based on its interpretation of
contracting regulations and past experience.  There can be no
assurance, however, that this allowance will be adequate.
The Company is aware of various costs questioned by the government,
including issues related to the recoverability of its ESOP
contributions, but cannot determine the outcome of the audit
findings at this time. In addition, the Company is occasionally the subject of
investigations by the Department of Justice and other
investigative organizations, resulting from employee and other
allegations regarding business practices.  In management's
opinion, there are no outstanding issues of this nature at
December 31, 1996 that will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or liquidity.

(22) Business Segments

     The Company derived 97%, 95% and 98% of its revenues in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, from contracts and subcontracts with
the U.S. Government.  Prime contracts comprised 79%, 84% and 88%
of revenue of which prime contracts with the Department of Defense
represented 50%, 51% and 54% of revenue in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  In 1996, the Company's second largest customer was
the Department of Energy, comprising 18% of revenue.  No other
customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues in any year.

     Revenue, operating income, identifiable assets, capital
expenditures and depreciation and amortization by segment are

(24)  Subsequent Events

    In February 1997, the Company and its Employee Stock Ownership
Plan purchased from the investors of Capricorn Investors,
L.P., all of the Company's Class C Preferred Stock,
a substantial portion of Common Stock and certain Common Stock
Warrants that were previously held by Capricorn and transferred to
such investors.  The total purchase price for the securities was
$56,400,000, of which $28,200,000 was paid in cash, $18,900,000
was paid in notes issued by the Company ("Company Capricorn
Notes") and $9,300,000 was paid in notes issued by the ESOP and
guaranteed by the Company ("ESOP Capricorn Notes").

    At December 31, 1996, the Company had $104,183,000 of debt, of
which $100,000,000 (the Contract Receivable Collateralized Notes,
Series 1992-1) is scheduled to begin principal amortization on May
30, 1997.  The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dyn
Funding Corporation ("DFC"), have undertaken a series of
refinancing transactions in order to repay the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, the Company Capricorn Notes, and to make a
loan to the ESOP for the repayment of the ESOP Capricorn Notes.

    On March 17, 1997, the Company closed on the sale of
$100,000,000 of 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the
"Senior Subordinated Notes").   After paying transaction fees and
expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $96.3 million.

    On March 19, 1997, the Company used $19,086,000 of the proceeds
to repay the Company Capricorn Notes (including $177,000 of
accrued interest) and on March 20, 1997, the Company used
$9,372,000 to make a loan to the ESOP for the repayment of the
ESOP Capricorn Notes (including $89,000 of accrued interest).  The
Company intends to use the remaining proceeds to finance working
capital, to repurchase shares of common stock held by certain
outside investors, and to make a loan to DFC (the "DFC Loan") to
partially finance the repayment of the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes.

    On January 14, 1997, the Company accepted a conditional offer
from one of the significant holders of the Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, Series 1992-1 to purchase from DFC, in a
private transaction, up to $140,000,000 of Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes, Series 1997-1.  As proposed, the Series
1997-1 Notes will be comprised of a $50,000,000 Class A Fixed Rate
Note and a $90,000,000 Class B Variable Rate Note, and will
contain terms and conditions substantially identical to those of
the Series 1992-1 Notes.

    As of March 21, 1997, the Company believes that all of the
conditions of the offer have been satisfied, with the exception of
the completion of the documentation and legal opinions incident to
the proposed purchase, and that the sale of the 1997-1 Notes will
close on or before April 30, 1997.  DFC intends to use the
proceeds of the Series 1997-1 Fixed Rate Class A Note, along with proceeds of
the DFC Loan, to repay the Series 1992-1 Notes and pay
transaction expenses.  At closing, the Company and DFC do not
intend to withdraw any amounts against the Series 1997-1 Class B
Note, and in the future, intend to withdraw such amounts to
finance working capital and acquisitions.

    Upon the closing of the Series 1997-1 Notes, the Company will
simultaneously close on an  amendment to its existing term note
facility with Citicorp North America, Inc. to, among other things,
reduce the loan commitment from $50,000,000 to $15,000,000.

    The following table sets forth the total debt and equity of the
Company on a pro forma basis giving effect to the aforementioned
transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 1996 (dollars
in thousands).

Compensation of Directors

         Non-employee directors of the Company receive an annual retainer fee of
$16,500 as  directors  and $2,750 for each  committee  on which they serve.  The
Company also pays non-employee  directors a meeting fee of $1,000 for attendance
at each Board meeting and $500 for attendance at committee  meetings.  Directors
are reimbursed for expenses  incurred in connection  with attendance at meetings
and other Company functions.

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance

         The Company has purchased and paid the premium for insurance in respect
of claims  against its directors and officers and in respect of losses for which
the Company may be required or permitted by law to indemnify  such directors and
officers. The directors insured are the directors named herein and all directors
of the  Company's  subsidiaries.  The  officers  insured  are all  officers  and
assistant  officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.  There is no allocation
or segregation  of the premium as regards  specific  subsidiaries  or individual
directors and officers.

Employment-Type Contracts

         The Company has entered  into  change-in-control  severance  agreements
with  Messrs.  Bannister,  Lombardi,  Reichardt,   FitzPatrick,  and  Dunn  (the
"Severance   Agreements").   Each  Severance  Agreement  provides  that  certain
benefits,  including a lump-sum payment,  will be triggered if such executive is
terminated  following  a change in control  during the term of that  executive's
Severance Agreement,  unless such termination occurs under certain circumstances
set forth in the Severance Agreements. The Severance Agreements currently expire
on  December  31,  1997 but are  subject  to  annual  automatic  renewal  unless
terminated by the Board of Directors.  The amount of such lump sum payment would
be equal to 2.99 times the sum of the executive's  annual salary and the average
annual   amount  paid  to  the   executive   pursuant   to  certain   applicable
compensation-type  plans in the  three  years  preceding  the year in which  the
termination occurs. Other benefits include payment of any incentive compensation
which has been  allocated  or awarded  but not yet paid to the  executive  for a
fiscal  year or other  measuring  period  preceding  termination  and a pro rata
portion  to  the  date  of  termination  of the  aggregate  value  of  incentive
compensation  awards for  uncompleted  periods under such plans.  Each Severance
Agreement  also  provides  that, if the aggregate of the lump sum payment to the
executive  and any other  payment  or benefit  included  in the  calculation  of
"parachute  payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code exceeds the amount the Company is entitled to deduct on its federal  income
tax return,  the  severance  payments  shall be reduced  until no portion of the
aggregate  termination  payments to the  executive is not so  deductible  or the
severance payment is reduced to zero. The Severance Agreements also provide that
the Company will reimburse the executive for legal fees and expenses incurred by
the executive as a result of  termination  except to the extent that the payment
of such fees and expenses  would not be, or would cause any other portion of the
aggregate  termination  payments not to be, deductible by reason of Section 280G
of the Code.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

         The members of the  Compensation  Committee  of the Board of  Directors
during 1996 were: Herbert S. Winokur, Jr., Chairman of the Committee; Russell E.
Dougherty;  and Dudley C. Mecum II. None of the members are, or were, current or
former employees of or have a business or other  relationship  with the Company,
except for Mr. Winokur. Mr. Winokur is the President of Winokur Holdings,  Inc.,
which is the managing partner of Capricorn Holdings,  G.P., which in turn is the
general partner of Capricorn Investors, L.P. ("Capricorn"). On January 23, 1997,
the Company entered into an agreement with Capricorn,  whereby  Capricorn waived
its rights to nominate directors of the Company under the Stockholders Agreement
and the separate class voting rights of the Company's  then-outstanding  Class C
Preferred stock on certain corporate matters,  the Company authorized  Capricorn
to distribute a  substantial  portion of the shares of common stock and warrants
and all of the formerly  outstanding  shares of Class C Preferred  stock, to its
several individual  investors (the "Investors"),  and the Company paid Capricorn
$1,175,000.  Following the distribution, the Company and the ESOP entered into a
series of  transactions  with the  individual  Investors  on  February  5, 1997,
purchasing such  distributed  securities,  which were convertible into 2,884,178
shares of common stock,  at $19.55 per share.  Except for the entities under the
control of Mr.
Winokur, none of the Investors were affiliated with the Company.

         Separately,  on February 5, 1997, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with Capricorn Management,  G.P., an entity controlled by Mr. Winokur,
whereby the Company  will,  by April 4, 1997,  have paid an aggregate  amount of
$1,050,000 to that entity for  consulting  services  during the period from 1995
through 1997 and for a covenant against competition.

         No executive officer of the Company serves on the board of directors or
compensation  committee of any entity (other than  subsidiaries  of the Company)
whose  directors  or  executive  officers  served on the Board of  Directors  or
Compensation Committee of the Company.


Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

         As of March 26, 1997, the Company had 8,987,054 shares of Common Stock
outstanding,  which  constituted  all the outstanding  voting  securities of the
Company.  If all shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding  warrants,  shares
issuable upon exercise of all vested and unvested  options,  and shares issuable
as a result of expiration of deferrals  under the Restricted  Stock Plan were to
be issued,  the  outstanding  voting  securities  following  such dilution would
consist  of  11,559,984 shares of  Common  Stock.  The  following  tables  show
beneficial  ownership of issued  voting  shares as a  percentage  of  currently
outstanding  stock and beneficial  ownership of issued and issuable  shares as a
percentage  of  common  stock  on  a  fully  diluted  basis  assuming  all  such
conversions, exercises, and issuances.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

         The  following  table  presents  information  as  of  March  26,  1997,
concerning  the only  known  beneficial  owners of five  percent  or more of the
Company's Common Stock.

DynCorp (Parent Company)
Schedule I - Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
December 31, 1996

1.  Basis of Presentation

    Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Condensed Financial Statements of
the Registrant do not include all of the information and notes
normally included with financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  It
is, therefore, suggested that these Condensed Financial
Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.  Long-term Debt

   At December 31, 1996 and 1995, long-term debt consisted of (in thousands):

                                                       1996       1995
 Notes payable, due in installments through 2002,
  11.43% weighted average interest rate             $   722    $ 1,564
 Less current portion                                   267        902
                                                    $   455    $   662

  Maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 1996, were as follows
(in thousands):

                       1997                $ 267
                       1998                  121
                       1999                  143
                       2000                  161
                       2001                   30
                                           $ 722
3.  Accounts Receivable

  At December 31, 1992, the Company had sold $63,682,000 of
its accounts receivable to Dyn Funding Corporation (DFC), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  DFC was established
in January, 1992 to issue $100,000,000 of Contract Receivable
Collateralized Notes (Notes) and to purchase eligible accounts
receivable from the Company and its subsidiaries.  On an
ongoing basis, the cash received by DFC from collection of the
receivables is used to make interest payments on the Notes,
pay a servicing fee to the Company and purchase additional
receivables from the Company (see Note 5 to Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K).

  The Company receives 97% of the face value of the accounts
receivable sold to DFC.  The 3% discount from the face value
of the accounts receivable is recorded as an expense by the
Company at the time of sale.  In 1996 and 1995, the Company
recorded as expense $17,238,000 and $16,406,000 which is
reflected in "Other" in the accompanying "Statements of
Operations" (in the "Consolidated Statements of Operations" of
DynCorp and Subsidiaries this expense is offset by the gain
recognized by DFC).
