                 SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION 

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the operations of 
the Satellite Transmission Systems Division ("STS" or the "Division") of 
California Microwave, Inc. ("CMI" or the "Company"). The Division is a global 
satellite communication systems integrator providing hardware, software and 
services for turnkey projects to large commercial customers, principally 
domestic and foreign telephone companies and major common carriers and to the 
U.S. and foreign governments. 

   These financial statements are presented as if the Division had existed as 
an entity separate from CMI during the periods presented and include the 
historical assets, liabilities, sales and expenses that are directly related 
to the Division's operations. However, these financial statements are not 
necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations 
which would have occurred had the Division been an independent entity. 

   The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, 
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
Operating results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998. For further information, refer to the 
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Division's 
financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997. 

USE OF ESTIMATES; RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES 

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Significant estimates are used in determining the 
collectibility of accounts receivable, warranty costs, inventory realization, 
profitability on long-term contracts, restructuring reserves, recoverability 
of property, plant and equipment, and contingencies. Actual results could 
differ from estimates. 

INVENTORIES AND COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD 

   Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Project 
inventories are transferred to cost of products sold at the time revenue is 
recognized based on the estimated total manufacturing costs and total 
contract prices under each contract. Losses on contracts are recognized in 
full when the losses become determinable. The cost of other inventories is 
generally based on standard costs which approximate actual costs determined 
by the first-in, first-out method.

3. CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS 

   CMI allocates corporate expenses on a value-added basis to each division, 
which CMI believes results in a reasonable allocation of such costs. The 
accompanying financial statements reflect charges for general corporate 
administrative expenses incurred by CMI which amounted to approximately 
$832,000 and $793,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively. 

   No interest is allocated by CMI to the Division. 

   The Division is charged for its proportional share of CMI's self-insured 
medical plan. Such charges amounted to $1,015,000 and $732,000 for the six 
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 

   In addition, there were direct charges from CMI as follows:

                            ====== ====== 
</TABLE>

   The Division believes that the direct charges from CMI were reasonable 
during the periods presented. 

4. RESTRUCTURING 

   During fiscal 1997, a comprehensive review of the Division's operations 
was performed, including a review of inventory levels, product development 
and migration plans and facility and personnel needs. It was determined to 
focus the Division on potentially higher margin products. This resulted in 
the write-down of certain inventories and the restructuring of the Division's 
operations. During the six month period ended December 31, 1996 inventory and 
other charges of $10,300,000, arising from this review, were included in cost 
of products sold. During February 1997, additional charges of $800,000 
relating to excess facilities and severance were recorded. There are no 
remaining cash outlays associated with the restructuring at December 31, 
1997.

5. OTHER 

   In November 1997, the Division recorded a $1 million charge to cost of 
sales relating to a contract with a customer in Sudan. The President of the 
United States imposed economic sanctions on Sudan which banned U.S. companies 
from doing business in Sudan and as a result, the Division could not continue 
to perform under the existing contract. Based upon this, the contract was 
terminated and the Division has been released from further performance 
requirements. 

   On December 19, 1997, L-3 Communications Corporation, an unrelated party, 
reached an agreement to purchase from CMI substantially all of the assets of 
the Division, and to assume certain of the liabilities of the Division, for 
approximately $27 million in cash. The final purchase price is subject to 
adjustment based on the net assets of the Division at the closing date of the 
transaction.
