Item 2.  Disposition of Business

     On July 19, 2002 Telos Corporation,  a Maryland corporation ("the Company")
and L-3  Communications  Corporation  ("L-3") entered into a purchase  agreement
whereby the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding  shares of its wholly
owned subsidiary,  Telos Corporation - California  ("TCC") to L-3 for a purchase
price of approximately $20 million. The parties agreed to pay the full amount of
the purchase price as follows:  1) approximately $15.3 million to the Company at
closing;  2) $2.0  million held in an escrow  account  which will be paid to the
Company over the next 30 months. The escrow amount may be subject to a reduction
if any claims for  indemnification of L-3 arise during the 30 month period after
July  19,  2002;  3)  approximately  $2.7  million  held  back as  deposits  for
liabilities  relating to leased  properties  in which at the time of closing TCC
was a lessee  or  guarantor.  Such  deposits  will be  released  to the  Company
consistent with their respective  agreements in installments  over the next five
years.

     The  purchase  price shall be increased or decreased on a dollar for dollar
basis by the  amount by which the  closing  date net  assets,  as defined in the
Purchase Agreement, deviate from $2.3 million. This adjustment of the sale price
will be determined  within 75 days from the date of closing.  In accordance with
the Company's loan  agreement,  all proceeds from the sale have been used to pay
down the Company's Senior Revolving Credit Facility.

     As additional  consideration for the sale of the shares of TCC, the Company
and its  affiliates  committed to certain  "Non-Compete"  and "No  Solicitation"
provisions relating primarily to the business and employees  associated with its
TCC/Ft. Monmouth operations.

     The sale of TCC has been treated as a discontinued operation in accordance
with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long-Lived Assets."

                  TELOS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     On July 19, 2002 Telos Corporation,  a Maryland corporation ("the Company")
and L-3  Communications  Corporation  ("L-3") entered into a purchase  agreement
whereby the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding  shares of its wholly
owned subsidiary,  Telos Corporation - California  ("TCC") to L-3 for a purchase
price of approximately $20 million. The parties agreed to pay the full amount of
the purchase price as follows:  1) approximately $15.3 million to the Company at
closing;  2) $2.0  million held in an escrow  account  which will be paid to the
Company over the next 30 months. The escrow amount may be subject to a reduction
if any claims for  indemnification of L-3 arise during the 30 month period after
July  19,  2002;  3)  approximately  $2.7  million  held  back as  deposits  for
liabilities  relating to leased  properties  in which at the time of closing TCC
was a lessee  or  guarantor.  Such  deposits  will be  released  to the  Company
consistent with their respective  agreements in installments  over the next five
years.

     The  purchase  price shall be increased or decreased on a dollar for dollar
basis by the  amount by which the  closing  date net  assets,  as defined in the
Purchase Agreement, deviate from $2.3 million. This adjustment of the sale price
will be determined  within 75 days from the date of closing.  In accordance with
the Company's loan  agreement,  all proceeds from the sale have been used to pay
down the Company's Senior Revolving Credit Facility.

     As additional  consideration for the sale of the shares of TCC, the Company
and its  affiliates  committed to certain  "Non-Compete"  and "No  Solicitation"
provisions relating primarily to the business and employees  associated with its
TCC/Ft. Monmouth operations.

     The sale of TCC has been treated as a discontinued  operation in accordance
with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of long-Lived Assets."

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as
of June 30, 2002 reflects the Company's Condensed  Consolidated Balance Sheet as
of June 30, 2002, as previously  reported,  adjusted for the effects of the sale
of TCC and the application of the net proceeds thereof, assuming the transaction
occurred on June 30, 2002.  The unaudited Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statements of
Operations  for the three years ended  December  31, 2001 and for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 ("pro forma  financial  information")  present the pro forma
effect of the transaction as if it occurred as of January 1, 1999. In accordance
with the rules of the Commission,  the estimated gain on the sale of TCC, net of
applicable  income taxes,  of $12.0 million has been excluded from the Pro-Forma
Consolidated  Statements of Operations because it is a non-recurring  item. Such
gain is  included  as an  adjustment  to  retained  deficit in the  accompanying
unaudited Pro-Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002.

     The objective of pro forma  financial  information is to provide  investors
with information about the estimated  continuing impact of particular  completed
or probable  transactions by indicating how the transactions might have affected
historical  financial statements had they occurred at an earlier date. These Pro
forma  statements  are subject to a number of estimates,  assumptions  and other
uncertainties,  and do not  purport to be  indicative  of the  actual  financial
position or results of operations  that would have occurred had the  transaction
and events reflected herein in fact occurred on the dates specified, nor do such
financial  statements  purport to be  indicative of the results of operations or
financial  condition  that may be achieved in the future.  These  unaudited  pro
forma condensed  consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and all of the financial  statements and notes thereto  contained in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Pro Forma Adjustments

     The pro forma adjustments outlined below present adjustments related to the
transaction:

a)   Reflects the net receipt of $15.3  million in cash less the pay down of the
     Company's  Senior Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $13.3 million.
     The Company's  Facility  agreement requires that all proceeds from the sale
     of a subsidiary be used to pay down the Facility balance.

b)   Reflects  the  elimination  of the June  30,  2002  TCC  accounts  from the
     Company's balance sheet, as well as the elimination of the TCC intercompany
     balances.  Included  in the TCC  accounts  was  goodwill  of  $2.5  million
     associated with the acquisition of TCC in 1992.

c)   In  connection  with the sale of TCC,  the  Company  expects  to  record an
     immediate gain on the transaction in the amount of $12.0 million. This gain
     is based on a $20 million purchase price,  less net assets of approximately
     $5.9 million,  taxes to be paid of $0.1 million, and the escrow holdback of
     $2.0  million.  This gain will be increased in the future should any of the
     escrow holdback be deemed collectible.

d)   Reflects the  adjustment to the  Statements of Operations for the six month
     period  ended June 30, 2002 and the three years ended  December 31, 2001 to
     separate the operations of TCC from the respective periods.

e)   Reflects the general and  administrative  expense ("S,G & A")allocation  to
     TCC.  S,G & A has been  allocated  based on a  three-factor  formula  which
     includes TCC's ratio of payroll dollars,  operating revenues,  and net book
     value of its tangible  capital  assets plus  inventories  to the  Company's
     consolidated  payroll  dollars,  operating  revenues and  tangible  capital
     assets plus inventories.

f)   Reflects the interest  allocation to TCC. Interest has been allocated based
     on the  net  assets  of  the  discontinued  operation  in  relation  to the
     Company's consolidated net assets plus non-specific debt.

g)   Reflects the changes to the income tax provision and corresponding deferred
     tax assets and  liabilities  in order to present a  stand-alone  income tax
     provision  for the Company in  accordance  with SFAS 109 for the six months
     ended June 30, 2002 and for the three years ended December 31, 2001.

h)   Reflects  the  revenue  from a  contract  previously  reported  in the  TCC
     statement of Operations.  This contract has subsequently  been moved to the
     parent Company, and is not included in the sale of TCC.
