   The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Thomas L. Gough and Ms. Bonnie 
Wachtel to serve on the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors 
effective December 8, 1995.  The Stock Option Committee operates subject 
to the authority of the Board of Directors.  The Stock Option Committee's 
functions encompass making determinations relating to the terms and 
conditions, and the issuance, of stock options.  The Stock Option 
Committee formally convened once during the fiscal year ended September 30, 
1996.
    
   


    
   A total of four meetings were formally convened by the Board of 
Directors since the Annual Shareholders Meeting in March, 1996.


        
    
   INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES
    
   


    
   The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 2 million shares 
of one class of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common 
Stock").  The Company is not authorized to issue additional classes of 
shares.  At March 31, 1997, the Company had 952,846 shares of Common 
Stock outstanding.
    
   


    
   The Company is seeking authority to increase the number of authorized 
shares of Common Stock from the current level of 2 million shares to 10 
million shares (an increase of 8 million shares).  The additional shares 
of Common Stock would bear the same rights with respect to voting, 
dividends, liquidation and other matters as all of the currently 
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.
    
   


    
   The Company is seeking authority to increase the number of authorized 
shares of Common Stock in order to allow the Company to issue additional 
shares to existing shareholders in a pro rata 3-for-1 stock split, to 
provide the Company additional flexibility to raise additional capital, 
attract new talent to the Company and to facilitate potential mergers and 
acquisitions activities in which the Company may wish to engage in the 
future.
    
   


    
   The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will 
not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of existing security holders 
of the Company.  For a description of the effects of the proposed 3-for-1 
stock split on existing security holders of the Company, see "Issuance of 
Additional Shares Pursuant to 3-for-1 Stock Split" below.  If the 
shareholders do not approve the increase in the authorized number of 
shares, the proposed stock split cannot be made; a vote against the 
increase in authorized shares may have the effect of a vote against the 
proposed stock split.
    
   


    
   The Company does not currently have nay plans to issue additional
shares of Common Stock except for the proposed 3-for-1 stock split
described below under "Issurance of Additional Shares Pursuant to
3-for-1 Stock Split".  Any future issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock, whether as a result of an effort to raise additional
capital, attract new talent, facilitate mergers and acquisitions
activities or otherwise, will be subject to the prior approval of
the Company's Board of Directors and, in some circumstances, of the
Company's shareholders.  While the definitive terms and conditions
of any such future transaction are presently unknown, it is possible
that certain such transactions could dilute the percentage share
ownership of the Company's existing shareholders.
    
   


    
   The Company is not in arrears in dividends with respect to any of the 
shares of its Common Stock.
    
   


    
   Information required by Item 13 of Schedule 14A is included in this 
proxy statement under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Disagreements on 
Accounting and Financial Disclosure" and "Financial Statements".
    
   



    
   ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES PURSUANT TO 3-FOR-1 STOCK SPLIT
    
   


    
   The Company is seeking authority to issue additional shares of Common 
Stock to existing shareholders pursuant to a 3-for-1 stock split (the 
"Stock Split"), if the shareholders authorize the Company to increase the 
number of authorized shares of Common Stock from the current level of 2 
million shares to 10 million shares (an increase of 8 million shares).  If 
the shareholders do not approve the increase in the authorized number of 
shares, the proposed stock split cannot be made.
    
   


    
   The newly-issued shares of Common Stock would bear the same rights 
with respect to voting, dividends, liquidation and other matters as all of 
the currently outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.
    
   



    
   If the Stock Split is approved, the Company would issue, on a pro 
rata basis to all existing shareholders of the Company at the time of the 
Stock Split, two additional shares of Common Stock for every one share of 
Common Stock held by a shareholder.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had 
952,846 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Giving effect to the Stock 
Split, the Company would have a total of 2,858,538 shares of Common Stock 
outstanding.  Because the Stock Split would be carried out on a pro rata 
basis, no dilution of ownership will result directly from the Stock 
Split.
    
   


    
   The Company is seeking authorization to issue additional shares 
pursuant to the Stock Split in order to increase liquidity in the trading 
market for the Company's Common Stock.  The Company's Common Stock is 
listed on NASDAQ under the symbol "ISYS".  The Company believes that the 
Stock Split, if approved, would increase liquidity in the trading market 
for the Company's Common Stock by increasing the number of shares available 
for trading.  However, the trading markets for equity securities, including
the market for the Company's Common Stock, are subject to a number of 
factors outside the control of the Company that can substantially impact 
price, liquidity, volume and other market characteristics.  No assurance 
can be made that an actual increase in the liquidity of the trading market 
for the Company's Common Stock will occur as a result of the Stock 
Split.
    
   


    
   The Company is not in arrears in dividends with respect to any of the 
shares of its Common Stock.
    
   


    
   Information required by Item 13 of Schedule 14A is included in this 
proxy statement under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Disagreements on 
Accounting and Financial Disclosure" and "Financial Statements".

ISI's Board of Directors awards annual bonuses to officers and employees 
based on employee performance and profits.  Currently no formal plan exists 
for determining bonus amounts.

PENSION PLAN

Integral Systems has in place a Profit Sharing and 401K Plan for the 
benefit of substantially all employees.  Contributions to the Profit 
Sharing Plan consist of discretionary amounts determined each year by the 
board of directors based upon net profits for the year and total 
compensation paid.  The 401K Plan allows employees to make elective 
deferrals not to exceed 10% of compensation.

Integral Systems also has a Money Purchase Plan, which allows the employer 
to contribute an additional 5% of eligible salaries.  This 5% contribution 
is mandatory.


STOCK OPTION PLAN

There were 85,600 option shares granted in Fiscal Year 1996, 8,787 option 
shares exercised; 5,000 options were canceled.


    
   At the close of Fiscal Year 1996, there were a total of 117,987 options 
issued and outstanding.  On December 1, 1995, William I. Tittley, the 
Company's Vice President for Asia Pacific Operations, exercised options for 
2,700 shares.  On June 27, 1996, Donald F. Mack, Jr., the Company's Vice 
President of Engineering, exercised options for 1,000 shares.

and 1995 are as follows:

    Total                       5,531      49.3         4,532       42.1

Total Consolidated Revenue    $11,217     100.0       $10,771      100.0



Consolidated revenue increased by approximately $450,000 between the 
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 and the fiscal year ended 
September 30, 1995, principally because of new contract awards related 
to the sale of the Company's EPOCH product along with associated 
integration services.  Revenue increases from EPOCH related business 
more than offset a $550,000 decline in the Company's Government 
business.  The Government decline is believed to be temporary as new 
contracts in this segment received at the end of fiscal year 1996 
should provide for higher revenue levels (compared to both 1996 and 
1995) during fiscal year 1997.  Although less than 6% of consolidated 
Company revenues, Integral Marketing, Inc. (IMI) achieved 
approximately 150% of revenue growth in 1996 over 1995.

During fiscal year 1996, the Company derived approximately 49% of its 
revenues from the sale of its commercial products and related services 
as opposed to 42% of such revenue during the prior fiscal year.  The 
increase correlates to the Company's conscious effort to reduce its 
reliance on the Federal Government, and to utilize its recently 
developed software products to gain access to organizations in order 
to sell both its products and associated integration and support 
services.

Although the Company believes that its full cadre of software products 
is important for its future growth and prosperity, to date the 
Company's largest product investment relates to the development of its 
EPOCH software, a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) product for 
satellite command and control.  The Company believes that it is unique 
in its status as the only entity with COTS software capable of 
"flying" satellites built by any satellite manufacturer in the world. 
 In fact during April, 1996 the Company was awarded a strategically 
important contract, a copy of which has been filed herewith as an 
exhibit, from AT&T Corporation to provide its COTS products (and 
related integration services) to command and control a fleet of 
satellites composed of spacecraft from multiple manufacturers.  The 
preponderance of revenue to be derived from this contract is expected 
to be realized in fiscal year 1997.

During fiscal year 1996, the Company recorded approximately $4.2 
million of revenue for its EPOCH product and associated services 
compared to $3.5 million of revenue during fiscal year 1995.  The 1996 
EPOCH revenue total included approximately $465,000 of license revenue 
compared to approximately $345,000 of this revenue type recorded in 
1995. The Company's material agreements with Allied Signal Technical
Services Corporation with respect to a project for the 
Republic of China National Space Program Office, contain
licensing provisions.

Because license revenues have nominal marginal costs associated with 
them, this form of revenue is highly important to the Company's 
overall profitability.  Looking forward to fiscal year 1997, the 
Company is encouraged that its current contract backlog includes in 
excess of $500,000 of unearned license revenues for its EPOCH product. 

The principal balance of the Company's commercial revenues pertain to 
other proprietary products as follows: OASYS (Orbital Analysis 
System); DRS (DOMSAT Receive Station); and a collection of software 
pertaining to database and information system applications.  During 
1996, the Company recorded approximately $630,000 of revenue related 
to the sale of products and services under these programs compared to 
approximately $750,000 of revenue recorded last fiscal year. The 
decrease principally relates to the Company's decision to cease 
operations of its information and database software operation as a 
discreet profit center.  All software development costs associated 
with this line of business have been fully amortized as of September 
30, 1996.



EXPENSES

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 1996 was 
73.2% compared to 77.0% for fiscal year 1995.  The improvement in 
these ratios is principally attributable to gross margin gains in the 
Company's EPOCH operation as well as increased margins at IMI.

SG&A increased in both absolute terms (by approximately $325,000) and 
as a percentage of revenue (15.7% vs. 13.3%) in 1996 over 1995.  The 
increases reflect the Company's continued program to enhance and 
augment its selling efforts, including a very concerted effort (and 
expense) to sell its commercial products internationally.

During 1996 the Company recorded a non-recurring $233,000 bad debt 
expense attributable to a customer's inability to pay. Despite this 
reserve, the Company is vigorously pursuing collection of this 
receivable.

GENERAL

Overall, net income as a percentage of revenue was 2.9% in fiscal year 
1996 compared to 3.5% in fiscal year 1995, while pretax income was 
approximately $75,000 lower in 1996 compared to 1995. Were it not for 
the bad debt expense described above, pretax income would have been 
28% greater in 1996 over 1995.  Further the Company's fourth quarter 
of fiscal year 1996 included its highest ever quarterly revenue total 
($3.9 million) and its second highest ever pretax profit level 
($448,000).  Because of its fourth quarter performance, its current 
and significant backlog, and contracts to be imminently received,  the 
Company believes that results for fiscal year 1997 will exceed those 
recorded in fiscal year 1996 for both revenue and profitability.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has been profitable on an annual basis since inception and 
has been able to generate adequate cash flow from operations to fund 
its operating and capital expenses.  To supplement operating cash 
flows, the Company has access to a line of credit facility in the 
amount of $1.2 million which is currently unused. (See Note 5 of the 
Notes to Financial Statements).  During fiscal year 1996, the Company 
used approximately $146,000 for operating activities and used an 
additional $739,000 for investing activities, including approximately 
$432,000 for newly capitalized software development costs.

As a result of its current cash reserves, its unused line of credit, 
its current profitability and management's internal budgeting and
planning, the Company believes it will have adequate cash resources 
to meet its obligations for the foreseeable future. Although operating 
and investing activities consumed significant sums of cash during 
1996, the Company does not believe it will have to rely on external 
sources of cash (i.e. its line of credit) to fund its growth and 
future software development in fiscal year 1997.

In terms of capital purchases, historically the Company has funded 
such items through operating cash flow or capital lease. The Company 
currently has no plans for major capital purchases in the ensuing 
twelve month period, although the Company plans to continue to invest 
in the continued development and improvement of its principal software 
products, EPOCH and OASYS.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.




1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	Principles of Consolidation

	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include 
the accounts of Integral Systems, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly 
owned subsidiaries, Integral Marketing, Inc. (IMI) and InterSys, Inc. 
(InterSys).  All significant intercompany transactions have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

	Use of Estimates 

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and 
disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

	Revenue Recognition

	Revenue under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts is recorded on 
the basis of direct costs plus indirect costs incurred and an allocable 
portion of the fixed fee.  Revenue from fixed-price contracts is 
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the cost-
to-cost method for each contract.  Revenue from time and materials 
contracts is recognized based on fixed hourly rates for direct labor 
expended.  The fixed rate includes direct labor, indirect expenses and 
profits.  Material or other specified direct costs are recorded at 
actual cost.

	Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs 
and those indirect costs related to contract performance.  General and 
administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Provisions for 
estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in 
which such losses are determined.  Changes in job performance, job 
conditions, and estimated profitability, including final contract 
settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are 
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.  The 
Company's contracts vary in length from one to four years.

	The fees under certain government contracts may be increased 
or decreased in accordance with cost or performance incentive provisions 
which measure actual performance against established targets or other 
criteria.  Such incentive fee awards or penalties are included in 
revenue at the time the amounts can be reasonably determined.

	Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue recognized in 
excess of amounts billed.  The liability, billings in excess of revenue 
for contracts in progress, represents billings in excess of revenue 
recognized.  

	Revenue from commissions for the sale of equipment is 
recognized when customer orders are submitted.  A reserve is made for 
possible reductions in or cancellations of customer orders.

	Depreciation and Amortization

	Property and equipment are stated at cost.  The Company 
follows the policy of providing depreciation and amortization by 
charges, on the straight-line method, to operating expenses at rates 
based on estimated useful lives as follows:


   	Classification	            Estimated Useful Lives

	Electronic equipment          3 Years
	Furniture and fixtures        5 Years
	Leasehold improvements        Life of lease
	Software                      3 Years

	Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as 
incurred.  Replacements and betterments are capitalized.  At the time 
properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the property and 
related accumulated depreciation or amortization accounts are relieved 
of the applicable amounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged 
to income.

	Software Development Costs

	The Company has capitalized costs related to the development 
of certain software products.  In accordance with Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 86, capitalization of costs begins when 
technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product 
is available for general release to customers.  Amortization is computed 
on an individual product basis and has been recognized for those 
products available for market based on the products' estimated economic 
lives which average five years.  Due to inherent technological changes 
in software development, however, the period over which such capitalized 
costs is being amortized may have to be modified.


	Earnings Per Share

	Earnings per share computations are based on the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding during each year and have 
been adjusted where appropriate for stock splits.  The exercise of 
outstanding stock options would not result in a material dilution of 
earnings per share.

	Cash Concentrations and Cash Equivalents

	The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments 
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash 
equivalents.  Cash accounts are maintained primarily with one federally 
insured financial institution.  Balances usually exceed insured limits, 
but management does not consider this to be a significant concentration 
of credit risk.  Included in the cash balance is $89,057 held in a 
foreign bank account.

	Reclassification

	Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have 
been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the 
presentation in the current year financial statements.


2.	Accounts Receivable and Revenue

	Accounts receivable at September 30, 1996 consists of the 
following:

Billed

Government - prime contracts        $669,556
Government - subcontractors          440,871
Commercial customers               1,655,615
  Subtotal                         2,766,042

Unbilled

Government - prime contracts         827,637
Government - subcontractors           91,269
Commercial customers               1,164,938
  Subtotal                         2,083,844

  Total                           $4,849,886


	Unbilled accounts receivable include amounts arising from the 
use of the percentage-of-completion or other methods of recognizing 
revenue that differ from contractual billing terms.  Substantially all 
unbilled receivables are expected to be collected in one year.

	During the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, 
approximately 51% and 58%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was 
from prime contracts and subcontracts with departments and agencies of 
the U.S. Government.  The remaining revenue consists of commercial 
contracts and sales of commercial products.  For each of the years ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, commercial revenue included one customer 
which provided revenue in excess of 10% of total revenue.


3.	Property and Equipment

	Property and equipment as of September 30, 1996, are as 
follows:
	
Electronic equipment             $728,956
Furniture and fixtures             54,898
Leasehold improvements             11,365
Software                           50,658

Total property and equipment      845,877


Less: accumulated depreciation
and amortization                 (446,769)

                                 $399,108


4.	Software Development

	Software development costs at September 30, 1996, consist of 
the following: 

Costs incurred                     $2,759,293
Less:  accumulated amortization    (1,463,779)
Total                              $1,295,514

The total amortization expense for the year ended September 30, 1996 is 
$509,477. 


5.	Line of Credit

	The Company has a line of credit agreement with a bank at 
September 30, 1996 for $1,200,000.  Borrowings under the line of credit 
bear interest at the bank's prime lending rate plus one-quarter of one 
percentage point per annum.  Any accrued interest is payable monthly. 
 The line of credit is secured by the Company's billed accounts 
receivable.  The line also has certain financial covenants, including 
minimum net worth and liquidity ratios.  The line expires February 28, 
1998.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had no outstanding balance 
under the line of credit.


6.	Accrued expenses

	Accrued expenses at September 30, 1996, consist of the 
following:

Accrued payroll                  $544,974
Accrued vacation                  253,950
Payroll taxes                     171,054
Retirement plan payable           158,897
Other                              28,481

                               $1,157,356



7.	Commitments and Contingencies

	Leases

	The Company is leasing office space for a five-year period 
that commenced March 15, 1994.  Future minimum lease payments through 
March 14, 1999 are as follows:

Years ending September 30,1997             $219,520
                          1998              226,048
                          1999              105,131

                                           $550,699

	Lease payments do not include operating expenses, which are 
adjusted annually, or utilities.  Rent expense was $254,327 and 
$248,944, for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


	Government Contracts

	A significant portion of the revenues of the Company 
represent payments made by the U.S. Government and by contractors that 
have prime contracts with the U.S. Government.  These revenues are 
subject to adjustment upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency 
(DCAA).  Audits by the DCAA have been completed on the Company's 
contracts and subcontracts through the year ended September 30, 1994. 
 Management is of the opinion that any disallowances by the Government 
auditors, other than amounts already provided, will not materially 
affect the Company's financial statements.  


7. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

	Litigation

	During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Company 
sold certain of its software products along with specified hardware to 
a U.S. Government agency.  The procurement required the Company to sell 
these items through an intermediary prime contractor.  The value of the 
contract to the Company was $232,708.

	The Company fully complied with the terms of its contract, 
and although the third party prime contractor has been paid in full by 
the U.S. Government, the Company has received no payments to date.  In 
August 1996, the Company filed a complaint in the Second Judicial 
District Court of the State of New Mexico against the prime contractor 
and its principal owner individually for breach of contract in an 
attempt to recover the value of its contract.  Based on discovery 
received, the Company subsequently filed a motion for summary judgment 
against the defendants.

	In September 1996, the defendants filed a counterclaim 
against the Company alleging defamation, intentional interference with 
contractual relations and the prima facie tort of extortion.  The 
Company believes the counterclaim is without merit and will not have a 
materially adverse effect on its financial statements.

	Although the Company has fully reserved the receivable due 
under this contract ($232,708), it continues to vigorously pursue all 
legal remedies available to it.


8.	Income Taxes

	For the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the 
provision for income taxes consisted of the following:


                                    1996        1995
Current tax expense
Federal                         $154,910    $142,972
State                             37,635      31,706

                                 192,545     174,678
Deferred tax (benefit) 
expense                          (13,194)     20,805

Total provision                 $179,351    $195,483

At September 30, 1996, the tax effect of significant temporary 
differences representing deferred tax assets and liabilities are as 
follows:

                                          Asset
                                        (Liability)

Depreciation and amortization            $(36,827)
Vacation accrual                           99,040
Revenue reserve                            11,700


Net deferred income tax asset             $73,913


	The effective income tax rates differ from the statutory United 
States 
income tax rate due principally to the following:


                                             1996     1995

Federal statutory rate                       34.0%    34.0%
State tax, net of federal
  income tax benefit                          4.6      4.6
Tax-exempt interest                             -     (0.8)
Tax deductible stock option compensation     (2.8)    (4.1)
Other, primarily change in estimate          (0.1)     0.2

Effective rate                               35.7%    33.9%


9.	Profit Sharing and Employee Benefits Plans

	The Company has a profit sharing and 401(k) plan for the benefit 
of 
substantially all employees.  Profit sharing contributions consist of 
discretionary amounts determined each year by the Board of Directors of the 
Company based upon net profits for the year and total compensation paid. 
 The 401(k) feature allows employees to make elective deferrals not to 
exceed 10% of compensation.  Effective January 1, 1995, the separate profit 
sharing and 401(k) plans were combined into one plan.

	The Company also has a money purchase plan.  For the years ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, the money purchase plan obligated the Company to 
contribute 5% of eligible salaries under the plan.

	For the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, contributions to 
the plans totalled $473,552 and $455,269, respectively.

10.	Stock Option Plan

	Effective May 25, 1989, as amended on January 1, 1994, the Company 
established a stock option plan to create additional incentives for the 
Company's employees, consultants and directors to promote the financial 
success of the Company.  The Board of Directors has sole authority to 
select full-time employees, directors or consultants to receive awards 
of options for the purchase of stock under this plan.  The maximum number 
of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to the stock option 
plan is 200,000.  The price of the options is set at the stock's bid 
price on the date of the Board of Directors meeting at which the option is 
granted.  Options expire no later than ten years from the date of grant 
(five years for greater than ten percent owners) or when employment ceases, 
whichever comes first, and vest over three years.

	Stock option transactions under the plan for the years ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995, are summarized as follows:

                                          1996       1995
Options outstanding, beginning of year    46,174     30,800
Granted                                   85,600     21,100
Exercised                                 (8,787)    (5,726)
Cancelled                                 (5,000)         -
Options outstanding, end of year         117,987     46,174

Option price range                        $21.50 to  $17.75 to
                                          $29.00     $26.00
Options exercisable, end of year          19,012     15,714
Options available, end of year            51,850    132,450



	The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option 
plan, and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the 
plan.  FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" 
(SFAS 123), is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
1995.  Adoption of SFAS 123 is optional; however, proforma disclosures 
as if the Company adopted the cost recognition requirements under SFAS 123 
will be required in the Company's financial statements for its fiscal 
year ending September 30, 1997.

11.	Supplemental Cash Flow Information

	For the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, income taxes 
paid, net of refunds, were $410,076 and $81,012, respectively.  For the years
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, interest expense incurred and paid was 
$2,320 and $2,529, respectively.

12.	Business Segment Information

	During the year ended September 30, 1996, the Company's operations included 
two reportable segments:  Satellite ground systems and electronic test 
instrumentation and equipment marketing.  

	The Company provides satellite ground systems - computer systems 
for satellite command and control, data processing, simulation, and flight 
software validation.  Customers for these systems include U.S. Government 
organizations such as National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
(NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the
U.S. Air Force, as well as commercial satellite operators, both domestic and 
foreign.

	Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, IMI, the Company acts a manufacturer's 
representative, selling electronic test instrumentation and equipment to 
customers primarily in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. 
(The Company's other wholly-owned subsidiary, InterSys, provides 
consulting services for satellite design and procurement, but is 
presently inactive.)


12.	Business Segment Information (continued)
