DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Independent accountants have not audited the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. In the opinion of the management, such financial statements include
all normally recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of
operations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001. The results of the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2002 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

Risks, Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
- -----------------------------------------
There are certain business risks specific to the industries in which the company
operates. These risks include, but are not limited to, estimates of costs to
complete contract obligations, changes in government policies and procedures,
government contracting issues and risks associated with technological
development. The preparation of financial statements 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. Estimates and assumptions also affect the amount of
revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
The company's systems and services business provides its services under time and
materials, cost reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. Accordingly, the company
adheres to generally accepted contract accounting principles. For time and
materials contracts, revenue reflects the number of direct labor hours expended
in the performance of a contract multiplied by the contract billing rate, as
well as reimbursement of other billable direct costs. The risk inherent in time
and materials contracts is that actual costs differ materially from negotiated
billing rates in the contract, which directly affects operating income. Under
fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion
method, on the basis of costs incurred in relation to estimated total costs to
complete the contract. The risk on fixed-price contracts is that if actual costs
exceed the estimated costs to complete the contract, then profit is eroded or
losses are incurred. For cost reimbursable contracts, revenue is recognized as
costs are incurred and include a proportionate amount of the fee earned. Cost
reimbursable contracts specify the contract fee in dollars or as a percentage of
estimated costs. The primary risk on cost reimbursable contracts is that a
government audit of direct and indirect costs could result in the disallowance
of certain costs, which would directly impact revenue and operating income.
Historically, such audits have had no material impact on the company's revenue
and operating income.

7



The company does not recognize revenue associated with amounts claimed under a
contract that are not agreed to by the customer. For all types of contracts, the
company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become known and
estimable. Out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursable by the customer are
included in contract revenue and cost of contract revenue.

Unbilled expenditures and fees on contracts in process are the amounts of
recoverable contract revenue which have not been billed at the balance sheet
date. Most of the company's unbilled expenditures and fees relate to revenue
that is billed in the month after services are performed. In certain instances,
billing is deferred in compliance with contract terms, such as milestone billing
arrangements and withholdings. Costs related to United States Government
contracts, including applicable indirect costs, are subject to audit by the
government. Revenue from such contracts has been recorded at amounts expected to
be realized upon final settlement.

Revenue from product sales, less returns, is generally recognized at the time of
shipment. Warranty costs are estimated based on historical activity and are
recognized as a component of cost of sales.

================== =================

During the second quarter of 2002, the company recorded disposals of $12.3
million of fully depreciated machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements,
and the associated accumulated depreciation.

Earnings Per Common Share
- -------------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is determined by giving

8



effect to the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Due to
their antidilutive effect, 22,500 and 23,100 stock options were excluded from
the calculation of earnings per share in the second quarter and first six months
of 2002, respectively. In the second quarter and first six months of 2001,
63,800 and 934,800 stock options were excluded from the calculation of earnings
per share, respectively. The calculation of earnings per share in the second
quarter of 2002 and 2001 and the first six months of 2002, exclude 121,000
shares of restricted stock (see Note 9).

New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No.
141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted
for using the purchase method. It also specifies the types of acquired
intangible assets required to be recognized and reported separately from
goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer
be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No.
142 was effective for the company beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption of
SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 did not have an impact on the company's financial position
or results of operations, because it did not have any goodwill or other
intangible assets recorded at that time. Effective May 31, 2002 the company
acquired HJ Ford Associates, Inc. and recorded $7.9 million of goodwill and
other intangible assets (see Note 10). The company accounted for the acquisition
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141. In addition, goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not being amortized pursuant
to the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Intangible assets with definite lives are
being amortized over their expected useful lives.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 modifies the rules for accounting
for the impairment of long-lived assets. The new rules are effective for the
company beginning January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a
material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements Nos.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections. It
rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,
SFAS No. 44 Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers and SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS No. 145
also amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate the inconsistency
between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement
also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings or describe their applicability under
changed conditions. The new rule is effective for the company beginning January
1, 2003. The company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No.145 will have
a material impact on the company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than
at the date of a commitment to the exit or disposal plan. The new rule is
effective for the company beginning January 1, 2003. The company does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on the
company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 2. Loss Provisions
- -----------------------
In 1997, the company entered into a fixed-price software development contract
with the Colorado Department of Human Services. In prior years, this contract
incurred cost overruns, and management anticipated additional overruns that were
provided for in the company's results of operations. Implementation of the final
phase of this project was commenced in the first quarter of 2002 and was

9



completed on April 12, 2002. With the exception of remediation requirements,
which could arise during the system warranty period due to expire in the second
quarter of 2003, the contract will be completed with the expiration of the
maintenance period in the fourth quarter of 2002. The company believes that it
has reasonably estimated and provided for the costs to complete the Colorado
contract at June 30, 2002.

During the second quarter of 2002, events related to a specific loss reserve
resulted in a $0.3 million reduction in this reserve.

Note 3. Restructuring
- ---------------------
During the second quarter of 2002, the company incurred involuntary separation
costs for 60 employees. Costs associated with these terminations totaled $0.4
million and are included in the operating results of the second quarter of 2002.
At June 30, 2002, $0.3 million of the expense was accrued and is expected to be
paid in the second half of 2002 primarily as continuation pay for employees who
were no longer working for the company at June 30, 2002. Included in the amount
expensed in the second quarter of 2002, was $14,000 related to the Encoder
Division of the Precision Manufacturing Group.

During the second and third quarters of 2001, the company provided $0.3 million
for involuntary severance costs for 45 employees in the Encoder Division. These
costs were paid in the second half of 2001.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations
- -------------------------------
In June 1999, the company completed the sale of its previously discontinued
Telecommunications Fraud Control business for $1.7 million plus royalties. No
royalty income was recognized in the first six months of 2002. Royalty income of
$62,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2001. The company may benefit
modestly from future royalty payments through July 31, 2002, up to a cap of $0.9
million, net of taxes. The final determination of royalty payments will be made
in the third quarter of 2002. These payments will be recorded as a gain from
discontinued operations, after deducting taxes, when received.

Note 5. Debt
- ------------
Effective June 30, 2002, the company obtained a $50 million revolving credit
agreement (the "Revolver"), replacing the previous revolver. The Revolver has a
three-year term and is available to the company for general corporate purposes,
including strategic acquisitions. The fee on the unused portion of the Revolver
is 0.25% and is payable quarterly in arrears. The company has the option to
elect on a fixed 30, 60 or 90-day term, an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% or
the prime rate on the outstanding balance. Interest on the outstanding balance
of the Revolver is payable monthly under the prime rate option or at the end of
the elected LIBOR term. At June 30, 2002, there was no outstanding balance
under the Revolver. At December 31, 2001, there was no outstanding balance under
the previous revolver and the company had $15.2 million of unused credit line
available. If there had been an outstanding balance under the Revolver, the
interest rate would have been 3.81% based on the 90-day LIBOR rate at June 30,
2002.

The company has a 10-year mortgage loan (the "Mortgage"), dated June 12, 2000,
on the company's real estate. The outstanding balance of the Mortgage was $9.0
million and $9.3 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
The agreement requires quarterly principal payments of $125,000 that began on
August 1, 2000, with a final payment of $5 million in June 2010. Interest on the
Mortgage accrued at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% at June 30, 2001. Effective
November 6, 2001, the interest rate on the Mortgage was reduced to LIBOR plus
2.0%. On June 30, 2002, the interest rate on the Mortgage under the 90-day LIBOR
option elected at April 15, 2002, was 4.02%. The Mortgage is secured by the
corporate office facility in Andover, Massachusetts.

The Revolver and Mortgage require the company to meet certain financial
covenants including maintaining a minimum tangible net worth, cash flow and debt
coverage ratios, as well as limit the

10



company's ability to incur additional debt, to pay dividends, to purchase
capital assets, to sell or dispose of assets, to make additional acquisitions or
investments, or to enter into new leases, among other restrictions. The company
was in compliance with all covenants on June 30, 2002.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
- -------------------------------------
As a defense contractor, the company is subject to many levels of audit and
review, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Inspector General, the
Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the General Accounting Office, the
Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. Both related to and
unrelated to its defense industry involvement, the company is, from time to
time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and
investigations. The company accrues for liabilities associated with these
activities when it becomes probable that future expenditures will be made and
for which such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In management's
opinion, the outcome from any such audits and other matters discussed above is
not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
position or results of operations.

As disclosed in previous filings, the United States Attorney's Office is
investigating certain company activity and billing transactions from prior
years. The company does not know, at this time, what financial effects, if any,
may result to the company from these matters.

Note 7. Segment Information
- ---------------------------
Results from operations and identifiable assets of HJ Ford Associates, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary that was acquired on May 31, 2002 (see Note 10), have
been included in the company's Systems and Services segment from the date of
acquisition.

Identifiable assets by business segment include both assets directly identified
with those operations and an allocable share of jointly used assets.

Summarized financial information by business segment for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

During the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, revenue from Department of Defense
(the "DoD") customers represented approximately 77% and 75% of revenue,
respectively, and 76% and 72% of revenue for the first six months of 2002 and
2001, respectively. Revenue earned from one significant DoD contract represented
approximately 12% and 21% of revenue in the second quarter of 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and approximately 12% and 20% of revenue in the first six months
of 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note 8. Sale of Tactical Communications Group
- ---------------------------------------------
On June 1, 2001, the company completed the sale of its Tactical Communications
Group ("TCG") and the transfer of related employees and assets. TCG developed
and sold communications software for defense applications. For the first six
months of 2001, TCG recorded revenue of approximately $0.8 million and a loss of
$0.5 million. The sale resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million, shown as Other
expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of
2001. Proceeds from the transaction were $0.1 million in cash.

Note 9. Stock Plans
- --------------------
On January 30, 2001, company's shareholders approved the adoption of the 2000
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP is designed to give eligible
employees an opportunity to purchase common stock of the company through
accumulated payroll deductions. The purchase price of the stock is equal to 85%
of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first day or last day
of the each three-month offering period, whichever is lower. All employees of
the company or designated subsidiaries who customarily work at least 20 hours
per week and do not own five percent or more of the company's common stock are
eligible to participate in the purchase plan. A total of 800,000 shares have
been reserved for issuance under the ESPP of which 690,209 shares remain
unissued at

12



June 30, 2002. The program commenced in May 2001. In the second quarter and
first six months of 2002, 23,740 and 51,404 shares, respectively, were issued
through the plan.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Board of Directors approved the Executive
Long Term Incentive Program (the "ELTIP"), implemented under the provisions of
the shareholder approved 2000 Incentive Plan. The ELTIP provides incentives to
program participants through a combination of stock options and restricted stock
grants which vest fully in seven years. The ELTIP allows for accelerated vesting
based on the company's achievement of specified financial performance goals.
During the second quarter of 2001, the company granted under this plan stock
options totaling 750,000 shares of common stock at fair market value and granted
121,000 shares of restricted common stock with approximately $1.1 million of
compensatory value which is being amortized over the vesting period of the
grant. In the second quarter and first six months of 2002, the company
recognized approximately $39,000 and $78,000, respectively, of compensation
expense under this plan.

Note 10. Acquisition and Goodwill
- ---------------------------------
On May 31, 2002, the company completed the acquisition of HJ Ford Associates,
Inc. ("HJ Ford") for $10.1 million in net cash in exchange for all of the voting
common stock. The purchase agreement also calls for the payment by the company
to the sellers of an additional $1.0 million in 2005, subject to the occurrence
of certain events related to contract renewals. Should these events occur, the
additional payment will be recorded as additional purchase price. HJ Ford,
headquartered in Washington, D.C., has approximately 150 employees in
Washington, D.C., Dayton, Ohio, Mechanicsburg, PA and Patuxent River, MD. HJ
Ford helps their clients manage operational processes and acquisition programs
by drawing on their core competencies of systems and information engineering,
acquisition logistics and logistics engineering, information technology,
enterprise engineering, and acquisition program support.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and accordingly,
the consolidated statements of income include the results of HJ Ford beginning
May 31, 2002. Results for the second quarter of 2002 include $1.1 million of
revenue from HJ Ford. The operating results of the acquired company had no
material impact on net earnings for the second quarter of 2002.

The company obtained preliminary independent appraisals of the fair value of
assets acquired and is completing the review and determination of the fair value
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of purchase price is
subject to revision based on the final determination of appraisals and fair
values. On a preliminary basis, $3.3 million of the purchase price has been
allocated to intangible assets with the remaining lives of 2 to 4 years.

The preliminary purchase price of the HJ Ford acquisition at May 31, 2002 has
been allocated as follows (in thousands of dollars):
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Working capital, net of cash acquired of $1,000 $ 2,470
Property and equipment 209
Other noncurrent asset 180
Long-term debt (700)

The following table represents the company's unaudited pro forma results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, as if the HJ Ford
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2001. These pro forma results include
adjustments for the amortization of other intangible assets with definite useful
lives (see Note 1), the elimination of intercompany transactions and adjustments
for income taxes. The table has been prepared for comparative purposes only and
does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the
acquisition been made at the beginning of the period noted or of results that
may occur in the future.

Effective December 31, 2001 the company adopted SFAS No. 142, which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets (see Note 1). Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized. Instead, the company will perform an annual test for
impairment of these assets.

The accumulated amortization expense for the acquired intangible assets was
$67,000 at June 30, 2002.

The estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2002 and for each of the
four succeeding fiscal years is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

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

Results of Operations

Total revenue decreased slightly to $50.0 million in the second quarter of 2002
compared with $50.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. For the first six
months of 2002, total revenue increased slightly to $99.3 million compared with
$99.2 million in the first six months of 2001.

Contract revenue for the Systems and Services Segment increased 1.1% to $45.7
million in the second quarter of 2002 compared with $45.2 million in the same
period last year. For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, contract revenue
was $90.4 million and $87.5 million, respectively.

Defense revenue for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $38.5 million and
$38.6 million, respectively. The comparison of defense revenue in the second
quarter of 2002 when compared with the second quarter of 2001 is affected by
three factors: first, the addition of $1.1 million of HJ

14



Ford revenue in the second quarter of 2002 (see Note 10); second, the absence of
approximately $2 million in subcontract revenue in the second quarter of 2002
related to our change from a prime to subcontract position with regard to the
Electronic Systems Center Air Combat program office at Hanscom Air Force Base;
and third, the second quarter of 2001 included $0.3 million of revenue
associated with the Tactical Communications Group, divested by the company in
the second quarter of 2001. Excluding these effects, revenue for the second
quarter of 2002 increased 3.7% when compared with the same quarter a year ago.
For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, defense revenue was $75.1 million and
$72.6 million, respectively.

Revenue from federal civilian agencies, primarily related to additional work
with the Internal Revenue Service, increased 68.8% to $4.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, compared with the same quarter a year ago. For the
first six months of 2002 and 2001, federal civilian agencies revenue was $8.1
million and $5.0 million, respectively.

State and local government revenue was $2.7 million and $3.9 million for the
second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $7.2 million and $9.9 million
for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease resulted
primarily from a curtailment of work for the State of Ohio. While there is the
potential for project delays and cutbacks in other states due to state budget
deficits, the State of Ohio is presently the company's only account that has
taken such steps.

Re-competition for the Information Technology Services Program tasking known as
the ITSP at the Electronic Systems Center, headquartered at Hanscom Air Force
Base are ongoing. The competitions, which are for five-year contracts, began in
the first quarter of this year and are expected to be completed by the end of
this year. To date, the company has maintained its position as a subcontractor
on two awards, lost its position as prime contractor while maintaining all of
its employee positions on two awards, and won the prime contractor on two
programs where the company was previously a subcontractor. There are two
additional procurements on which the company is currently a subcontractor
pending in the second half of 2002.

One of the awards on which the company was the prime contractor and has now been
moved to a subcontractor position is with the Electronic Systems Center's Combat
Air Forces Command program office support contract. Effective April 1, 2002, the
five-year follow-on contract was awarded to another contractor, of which the
company is a team member. The company recognized annual contract revenues of $23
million in 2001. Of that amount, subcontracted work totaled approximately $14
million. Substantially all of the company's 52 people supporting the program
office have been retained under the new contract that began on April 1, 2002.
While the company endeavors to retain its staff on this program, there can be no
assurance these efforts will succeed.

Product sales for the Precision Manufacturing Group, which is comprised of the
Metrigraphics and Encoder reportable segments, decreased 19.1% to $4.4 million
in the second quarter of 2002 compared with $5.4 million in the same period of
2001. For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, product revenue was $8.9
million and $11.7 million, respectively. Metrigraphics Division sales decreased
20.0% to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared with $2.7 million
in the second quarter of 2001, and 18.8% to $4.4 million in the first six months
of 2002 compared with $5.5 million in the first six months of 2001. The decrease
was due to lower sales of inkjet printer cartridge nozzle plates. Encoder
Division sales decreased to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $2.7
million for the same period in 2001. For the first six months of 2002 and 2001,
Encoder Division revenue was $4.4 million and $6.2 million, respectively. These
decreases are reflective of the current state of the capital equipment
manufacturing market.

Total gross margin was $7.6 million and $6.9 million in the second quarter of
2002 and 2001, respectively, representing 15.1% and 13.6% of total revenue in
the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the first six months of
2002, total gross margin was $14.4 million, or 14.6% of total revenue, compared
with $13.7 million, or 13.8% of total revenue for the first six months of 2001.

Gross margin on contract revenue was $6.8 million and $5.8 million for the
second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing 14.9% and 12.7% of
contract revenue in the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the
first six months of 2002, contract revenue gross margin was $12.9 million, or
14.2% of total contract revenue, compared with $10.8 million, or 12.4% of
contract revenue for the first six months of 2001. A favorable shift in mix and
improved price margin were the principal factors contributing to the margin
improvement. During the second quarter of 2002, overhead costs were held
essentially flat when compared with the second quarter of 2001. In the second
quarter of 2002, cost of contract revenue includes $0.3 million of involuntary
severance costs described below. Also during the second quarter of 2002, events
related to a specific loss reserve resulted in a $0.3 million reduction in the
reserve, which was credited to the cost of contract revenue.

In 1997, the company entered into a fixed-price software development contract
with the Colorado Department of Human Services. In prior years, this contract
incurred cost overruns, and management anticipated additional overruns that were
provided for in the company's results of operations. Implementation of the final
phase of this project was commenced in the first quarter of 2002 and was
completed on April 12, 2002. With the exception of remediation requirements,
which could arise during the system warranty period due to expire in the second
quarter of 2003, the contract will be completed with the expiration of the
maintenance period in the fourth quarter of 2002. The company believes that it
has reasonably estimated and provided for the costs to complete the Colorado
contract at June 30, 2002.

In the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, gross margin on product sales was $0.8
million and $1.1 million, respectively, representing 17.2% and 21.1% of product
sales for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gross margin on
product sales was $1.6 million and $2.9 million for the first six months of 2002
and 2001, respectively, representing 17.7% and 24.6% of product sales for the
first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decline in gross margin on
product sales resulted principally from lower sales.

Operating expenses increased slightly to $4.5 million in the second quarter of
2002 compared with $4.1 million for the same period in 2001. Operating expenses
for the second quarter of 2002 includes $0.1 million of employee severance costs
further described below. For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, operating
expenses were $8.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense
of $67,000 for the second quarter of 2002 reflects one month of amortization of
intangible assets associated with the HJ Ford acquisition (see Note 10). This
amount is an estimate and will be adjusted based on the final appraisal of the
intangible assets.

Total operating income was $3.1 million, or 6.2% of revenue, and $2.8 million,
or 5.4% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For
the first six months of 2002 and 2001, total operating income was $5.6 million
and $5.2 million, respectively. As a percent of revenue, operating income was
5.7% and 5.3% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Operating income for the Systems and Services segment increased to $3.1 million,
or 6.7% of revenue for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $2.5 million,
or 5.5% of revenue for the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months of
2002, operating income for the Systems and Services segment increased to $5.6
million, or 6.1% of revenue, compared with $4.2 million, or 4.8% of revenue for
the

16



same period last year.

Operating income for the Precision Manufacturing Group decreased to $16,000, or
0.4% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $0.3 million, or
4.8% of revenue for the same period last year. For the first six months of 2002,
operating income for the Precision Manufacturing Group decreased to $63,000, or
0.7% of revenue, compared with $1.0 million, or 8.8% of revenue for the first
six months of 2001.

On June 1, 2001, the company completed the sale of its Tactical Communications
Group ("TCG") and the transfer of related employees and assets. TCG developed
and sold communications software for defense applications. For the first six
months of 2001, TCG recorded revenue of approximately $0.8 million and a loss of
$0.5 million. The sale resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million, shown as Other
expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of
2001. Proceeds from the transaction were $0.1 million in cash.

Net interest expense was $44,000 and $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2002
and 2001, respectively, and $83,000 and $0.5 million for the first six months of
2002 and 2001, respectively, reflecting lower average interest rates and debt
levels, and the net benefit of investment income on cash and cash equivalents.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $1.2 million and
$0.9 million, respectively, representing 40.7% and 41.0% of pre-tax income in
2002 and 2001, respectively. For the first six months of 2002 and 2001, income
tax expense was $2.3 million, or 40.7% of pre-tax income and $1.9 million, or
41.0% of pre-tax income, respectively.

In response to lower than expected demand in certain sectors of the company's
business, as well as the need to maintain a competitive cost structure, during
the second quarter of 2002, 60 employees involuntarily left the company. All
operating groups and functions of the company were affected. Costs associated
with these terminations totaled $0.4 million and are included in the operating
results of the second quarter of 2002, with $0.3 million charged to cost of
contract revenue and $0.1 million charged to selling, engineering and
administrative expenses.

During the second and third quarters of 2001, the company provided $0.3 million
for involuntary severance costs for 45 employees in the Encoder Division. These
costs were paid in the second half of 2001.

Recent increases in the company's stock price and an increased level of options
granted have resulted in a greater number of employee stock options counted as
outstanding common equivalent shares and included in the dilutive effect of
options for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share. Outstanding
common and common equivalent shares increased from 7.8 million at June 30, 2001
to 9.0 million at June 30, 2002, which diluted earnings per share by $0.03 per
share for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $0.01 for the same quarter
of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, outstanding common and
common equivalent shares were 8.9 million and 7.8 million, respectively, which
diluted earnings per share by $.05 per share for the first six months of 2002,
compared with $0.01 for the first six months of 2001.

The company's total employment at June 30, 2002 was 1,598, up from 1,517 at
December 31, 2001. The company increased its employee count by approximately 150
with the purchase of HJ Ford in the second quarter of 2002.

17



The company's funded backlog was $101.3 million at June 30, 2002, up from $91.4
million at December 31, 2001. The addition of HJ Ford fully accounts for the
increase in backlog. A portion of the company's backlog is based on annual
purchase contracts. The amount of backlog as of any date can be affected by the
timing of order receipts and associated deliveries. Backlog does not necessarily
equate to future revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies

The company considered the disclosure requirements regarding critical accounting
policies and liquidity and capital resources, certain trading activities and
related party transactions. Appropriate disclosure was made in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the company concluded
that nothing material changed during the quarter that would warrant further
disclosure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by continuing operations in the first six months of 2002 was $1.7
million resulting from positive cash earnings, decreased unbilled expenditures
and fees on contracts in process and accounts receivable partially offset by
decreased accounts payable, accrued payroll and employee benefits and other
accrued expenses. Cash provided by continuing operations in the first six months
of 2001 was $10.4 million primarily resulting from positive cash earnings,
decreased accounts receivable, and an income tax refund of $2.2 million
partially offset by increased unbilled expenditures and fees on contracts in
process and decreased other accrued expenses and accounts payable.

Cash used for investing activities was $11.7 million and $1.4 million in the
first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. In 2002, cash used for
investing activities was principally for the purchase of HJ Ford (see Note 10).

Effective June 30, 2002, the company obtained a $50 million revolving credit
agreement (the "Revolver"), replacing the previous revolver. The Revolver has a
three-year term and is available to the company for general corporate purposes,
including strategic acquisitions. The fee on the unused portion of the Revolver
is 0.25% payable quarterly in arrears. The company has the option to elect on a
fixed 30, 60 or 90-day term, an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% or the prime
rate on the outstanding balance. Interest on the outstanding balance of the
Revolver is payable monthly under the prime rate option or at the end of the
elected LIBOR term. At June 30, 2002, there was no outstanding balance under the
Revolver. At December 31, 2001, there was no outstanding balance under the
previous revolver. If there had been an outstanding balance under the Revolver,
the interest rate would have been 3.81% based on the 90-day LIBOR rate at June
30, 2002.

The company has a 10-year mortgage loan (the "Mortgage"), dated June 12, 2000,
on the company's real estate. The outstanding balance of the Mortgage was $9.0
million and $9.3 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
The agreement requires quarterly principal payments of $125,000 that began on
August 1, 2000, with a final payment of $5 million in June 2010. Interest on the
Mortgage accrued at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% at June 30, 2001. Effective
November 6, 2001, the interest rate on the Mortgage was reduced to LIBOR plus
2.0%. The interest rate on the Mortgage under the 90-day LIBOR option elected at
April 15, 2002, was 4.02% on June 30, 2002. The Mortgage is secured by the
corporate office facility in Andover, Massachusetts.

The Revolver and Mortgage require the company to meet certain financial
covenants including maintaining a minimum tangible net worth, cash flow and debt
coverage ratios, as well as limit the

18



company's ability to incur additional debt, to pay dividends, to purchase
capital assets, to sell or dispose of assets, to make additional acquisitions or
investments, or to enter into new leases, among other restrictions. The company
was in compliance with all covenants on June 30, 2002.

For the first six months of 2002, the company realized $0.7 million in proceeds
from the exercise of stock options and $0.7 million in proceeds from the
issuance of shares under the employee stock purchase plan. In the second quarter
and first six months of 2001, $0.3 million was realized from the exercise of
stock options.

The company has initiated an acquisition program through which it can acquire
and integrate smaller companies that fit closely with the company's strategy.

As a defense contractor, the company is subject to many levels of audit and
review, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Inspector General, the
Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the General Accounting Office, the
Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. Both related to and
unrelated to its defense industry involvement, the company is, from time to
time, involved in audits, lawsuits, claims, administrative proceedings and
investigations, and accrues for liabilities associated with these activities, if
any, for which the company considers it probable that future expenditures will
be made and for which such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. In
management's opinion, the outcome from such audits and other matters discussed
above is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company's
financial position or results of operations.

As disclosed in previous filings, the United States Attorney's Office is
investigating certain company activity and billing transactions from prior
years. The company does not know, at this time, what financial effects, if any,
may result to the company from these matters.

The company's prospective cash flows are subject to certain trends, events and
uncertainties, including demands for capital to support growth, economic
conditions, government payment practices and contractual matters. The company's
capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $6 million in 2002,
primarily for technology advancements, facilities and infrastructure
improvements and capacity expansion in support of growth and operational
performance enhancement. The company's need for, cost of, and access to funds
are dependent on future operating results, as well as conditions external to the
company. The company believes that its current assets, cash flows from
operations and available lines of credit are sufficient to support its normal
operations, capital requirements, and its acquisition program for the near term.

update any forward-looking information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The company is subject to interest rate risk associated with our Mortgage and
Revolver where interest payments are tied to either the LIBOR or prime rate. At
any time a sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse effect on net
interest expense as reported in the Statements of Operations. The company does
not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

(a) The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the company was held on April 25,
2002.

(b) Proxies representing 7,158,112 shares were received (total shares
