Item 5.   Other Events.

     On January 31, 1994, the Company filed a three-count third-
party complaint against Bernard Friedman, a former officer and Vice
Chairman of the Board (Mr. Friedman resigned as Vice Chairman on
July 31, 1993), alleging breach of fiduciary duty, negligent
misrepresentation and intentional misrepresentation in connection
with the terms of the Company's lease, (as well as an amendment
thereto), of the facility at 360 Audubon Road, Wakefield,
Massachusetts, from Audubon Realty Limited ("Audubon"), a limited
partnership of which Mr. Friedman is the sole general partner.  The
Company alleges that Mr. Friedman, at the time both the lease and
the amendment were negotiated and at all other relevant times, was
an officer and director of the Company and thereby owed to it a
fiduciary duty.  The Company further alleges that Mr. Friedman, in
specifically representing that the rent payable by the Company
would never exceed fair market rates and that he would discharge
his fiduciary duty to Analogic, and then later asserting what rent
was purportedly due under the lease, and in making claims as to
rent due, was not acting in good faith nor in the reasonable belief
that his actions were in the best interests of the Company. Mr.
Friedman, as general partner of Audubon, has claimed that the
Company failed to pay rent according to the terms of the lease.  In
addition to denying the substantive allegations of Mr. Friedman's
claims, the Company has also counterclaimed against Mr. Friedman,
in his capacity as general partner, for all rents paid in excess of
fair rental value.

     Bernard M. Gordon, President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company, is a limited partner in Audubon.  He has
disclaimed his right to any portion of the rent payable by the
Company which the Company deems to be in excess of said fair rental
value.  Mr. Gordon has so advised the Board, indicating that he
will return to the Company any such excess sums he may receive in
the event Mr. Friedman prevails upon his claim.
     While in the opinion of management, the amounts at issue in
this litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's
business, management believes that in view of his former positions
with the Company, Mr. Friedman's actions nevertheless warrant
disclosure.
