extension.

                  LONGMONT,    Colo.--(BUSINESS    WIRE)--Feb.   15,   1996--NAI
Technologies,  Inc.  (NATL/NASDAQ)  today  announced the completion of a private
placement  of   approximately   $8,000,000  of  the  company's  12%  Convertible
Subordinated  Promissory Notes due 2001 and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
4,000,000  shares  of the  company's  Common  Stock  with  a  group  of  private
investors.

                  The company also  announced  that it has executed an amendment
to its credit  agreement  with its bank lenders  which  amended and extended the
payment provisions and reset certain financial covenants on more favorable terms
for the  company.  The credit  agreement,  as revised,  provides  for  principal
payments of $500,000 on each of March 31,  1996,  June 30, 1996,  September  30,
1996 and  December  31,  1996  and  $750,000  on the  last  day of each  quarter
thereafter,  commencing  on March 31,  1997 and  ending on  December  31,  1998,
together with accrued and unpaid interest  through the applicable  payment date.
The remaining  outstanding  principal amount of $7,975,000 is due and payable on
January 15,  1999.  The  interest  rate,  bank fees,  collateral,  non-financial
covenants  and events of default have not been  modified by the amendment to the
credit agreement.

                  The Notes are  convertible by the holder into shares of Common
Stock at a conversion  price equal to $2.00 per share,  subject to adjustment in
certain events.  Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly commencing April 15,
1996.  The Notes mature on January 15, 2001 and are subject to prepayment at any
time after the third  anniversary  of the date of  issuance at the option of the
company without premium or penalty.  The Notes are unsecured  obligations of the
company  subordinate  in right of  payment  to all  senior  indebtedness  of the
company.  The Warrants  entitle the holders thereof to purchase shares of Common
Stock at any time and from time to time on or before  February 15,  2002,  at an
exercise  price equal to $2.50 per share of Common Stock,  subject to adjustment
in certain events. The Warrants are detachable and separately transferable.

                  The issuance of the  securities  was approved by the company's
shareholders at a Special  Meeting of Shareholders  held in Longmont on February
1,  1996.  If all  of the  Notes  are  converted  and  all of the  Warrants  are
exercised,  the  company  will  have  received  gross  proceeds  of  $18,000,000
(approximately $16,860,000 net) in exchange for the sale of








approximately  49.6% of the  shares of Common  Stock on a  fully-diluted  basis,
based on shares currently outstanding.

                  Included in the group of investors  were Charles S. Holmes and
C. Shelton James, both of whom are directors of the company.

                  The net proceeds  realized by the company from the sale of the
securities, after the payment of fees and expenses associated with the offering,
including a placement  fee, are estimated to be  approximately  $6,860,000.  The
company  intends  to use the net  proceeds  to pay  amounts  past due to vendors
primarily  for raw  materials  and  components  as well as for  other  corporate
purposes.
