By: /s/ George T. Newhart _______________________________ George T. Newhart Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors ERNST & YOUNG LLP 1111 Summer Street Phone: 203 326 8200 Stamford, Connecticut 06905 Fax: 203 358 9644 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dynamics Corporation of America We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dynamics Corporation of America as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of CTS Corporation (a corporation in which the Company had a 44.1% interest at December 31, 1996) have been audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us; insofar as our opinion on the consolidated financial statements relates to data included for CTS Corporation, it is based solely on their report. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dynamics Corporation of America at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP February 26, 1997 EXHIBIT INDEX Exhibit No. Description 24.1 Powers of Attorney
