Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

-------------------

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and contain all adjustments, consisting
of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been omitted. Certain amounts in previously issued consolidated financial
statements were reclassified to conform to fiscal 2003 presentations. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Note 2. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the income of the Company.

Note 3. Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In fiscal 1989 the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
for eligible non-union employees. The ESOP used the proceeds of a loan from the
Company to purchase 316,224 shares of the Company's common stock for
approximately $8.4 million and the Company contributed approximately $400,000 to
the ESOP, which was used by the ESOP to purchase an additional 15,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.

As of September 30, 2003 there were 223,833 shares allocated to participants.

Note 4. Other Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income consists of:

Note 5. Stock Based Compensation

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, to require more prominent
disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method
used on reported results.

The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under
the intrinsic value-based method of accounting as permitted by SFAS No. 123 and
as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation - An Interpretation of APB No. 25, in accounting for its fixed
stock option plans. Under this method, compensation expense would be recorded on
the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeded the exercise price. Unearned compensation recognized for restricted
stock awards is shown as a separate component of shareholders' equity and is
amortized to expense over the vesting period of the stock award using the
straight-line method. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, as required.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123, to stock-based employee compensation.

Note 6. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150
requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances)
three classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for
the issuer. Generally, SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is otherwise effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's results of
operations and financial condition.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and
cost estimation on our contracts.

Revenue recognition and cost estimation

A significant portion of our business is comprised of development and production
contracts. Generally revenue on long-term fixed-price contracts are recorded on
a percentage of completion basis using units of delivery as the measurement
basis for progress toward completion.

Contract accounting requires judgment relative to estimating costs and making
assumptions related to technical issues and delivery schedule. Contract costs
include material, subcontract costs, labor and an allocation of indirect costs.
The estimation of cost at completion of a contract is subject to numerous
variables involving contract costs and estimates as to the length of time to
complete the contract. Given the significance of the estimation processes and
judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of
contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used in the
estimation of cost at completion. When a change in contract value, contract
performance status, or estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in
current period earnings.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2003 were $5,095,317 as
compared to $4,491,359 for the same period in 2002. The $603,958 increase in net
sales for the three-month period is mainly due to increased transmitter
component shipments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2004 gross profits as compared with the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 remained relatively consistent at 17% of sales. The
increase in gross profit to approximately $900,000 from approximately $789,000
was primarily due to the increase in net sales. Included in cost of sales and
gross profit is a $453,000 loss on one contract due to significant unexpected
costs. Given the current estimate to complete on this contract, management
believes the entire amount of the loss has been recorded in current period.
Management anticipates that it will be able to maintain or improve the gross
profit percentage for fiscal 2004 based on current backlog of orders. Management
continues to evaluate the Company's workforce to insure that production and
overall execution of backlog orders and additional anticipated orders are
successfully performed. Present employment is 193 people.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $549,803 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $120,496, as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was primarily due to an increase
in professional fees and insurance costs.

Total other income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased by
$24,208, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease
is due to lower interest rates on the Company's money market accounts and the
sale of investment securities which paid a higher interest rate in the prior
year. The Company believes there is minimal risk associated with its investment
policy, since its investments are primarily represented by money market
accounts.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $280,965 or $.28
per share compared to $306,545 or $.30 per share for the corresponding period
ended September 30, 2002. As discussed above, the increase in gross profit was
offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expense, thus
causing a slight decrease in net income.

The Company continues to diversify its customer base and product offerings. The
backlog of customer orders at September 30, 2003 was approximately $20,893,000
as compared to approximately $26,239,000 at September 30, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $24.3 million
compared to $24.7 million at June 30, 2003. The Company meets its short-term
financing needs through cash from operations and when necessary, from its
existing cash and cash equivalents.

The table below presents the summary of cash flow for the periods indicated:


Three Months Ended September 30,
2003 2002
---- ----

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 622,591 $ 84,404
Net cash used in investing activities $ (66,140) $(208,217)
Net cash used in financing activities $(766,474) $ (77,592)


Net cash provided by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily
as a result of differences in the level of sales and related net income, the
timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, and
payment of accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities represents
purchases of fixed assets. Net cash used in financing activities represents
dividends on common stock including a special dividend of $.50 per share which
was paid on September 30, 2003.

The Company currently believes that its current cash and cash equivalent
balances and the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its
funding requirements for the next twelve months. Management has in place an
uncommitted $3,000,000 line of credit to help fund further growth if needed. For
the first quarter of fiscal 2004 capital expenditures were approximately
$66,000.

Since the debt of the Company's ESOP is not to an outside party the Company has
eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Income the offsetting items of
interest income and interest expenses relating to ESOP. The Company has also
eliminated the offsetting accruals and receivables from the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2003 the Company repurchased 9,529
shares of its common stock for a cost of $170,093 and in 2002, the Company did
not repurchase any of its common stock. Under existing Board authorization, as
of September 30, 2003, $644,802 could be utilized to repurchase the Company's
common stock.
