                        (In thousands except share data)


     1.  Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2000, the
     condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidated
     statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
     1999 have been prepared by RELM Wireless Corporation (the Company), without
     audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal
     recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been made.
     The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
     financial statements at that date.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
     condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
     financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December
     31, 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results of operations for the
     three and nine month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of the operating results for a full year.

     The Company maintains its records on a calendar year basis. The Company's
     first, second, and third quarters normally end on the Friday closest to the
     last day of the last month of such quarter, which was September 29, 2000
     for the third quarter of fiscal 2000. The quarter began on July 1, 2000.
     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to correspond to the
     current period presentation.


     2. Significant Events and Transactions

     Acquisition of Product Line

     On March 13, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of certain private
     radio communication products from Uniden America Corporation (Uniden) for
     $1,864 which included assumption of certain liabilities related to the
     product line. Additionally, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $639.
     The entire purchase price was allocated to tooling and inventory based on
     their estimated fair values, pending final determination of certain
     acquired balances. Uniden will continue to provide manufacturing support
     for certain Uniden land mobile radio products, which will be marketed by
     the Company. Acquisition costs included grants of 150,000 shares at $3.25
     per share of the Company's common stock valued at $488.

     Private Placement

     On March 16, 2000, the Company completed the private placement of $3,250 of
     convertible subordinated notes. The notes earn interest at 8% per annum,
     are convertible at $3.25 per share, and are due on December 31, 2004. The
     registration of the common stock shares underlying the convertible notes
     was effective on June 16, 2000. Portions of the proceeds from this private
     placement were used to acquire the Uniden land mobile radio products.

     The debt issuance costs included grants to Simmonds Capital Limited of
     50,000 shares at $3.25 per share of the Company's common stock valued at
     $163 and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock
     valued at $409. The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of
     $3.25 per share. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $778 in
     costs related to the private placement. These costs are currently being
     amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the notes.

     Sale of West Melbourne, Florida Facility and Completion of Manufacturing
     Agreement

     On March 24, 2000, the Company completed the sale of its 144 square foot
     facility located in West Melbourne, Florida for $5,600. The gain of
     approximately $1,165 is reflected in the statement of operations for the
     nine month period ended September 30, 2000. Additionally, the Company
     secured a lease for a nearby facility that is approximately 54 square feet
     in size.

     The Company has entered into a contract manufacturing agreement for the
     manufacture of certain land mobile radio subassemblies. Under this
     agreement, the contract manufacturer employed sixty-eight of the Company's
     direct manufacturing workforce and agreed to purchase certain existing raw
     material inventories from the Company as needed, based on material
     requirements indicated by purchase orders for finished product placed by
     the Company. Revenues are recognized as the contract manufacturer uses
     these inventories. Until that time, they are treated as an asset of the
     Company and are included in the Company's inventory reserve analysis.

     Investment Banking Services

     The Company has engaged Janney Montgomery Scott (JMS) to provide certain
     investment banking services. In connection with the engagement, the Company
     granted warrants to JMS, valued at $226, to purchase 166,153 shares of the
     Company's common stock at an aggregate purchase price of one hundred
     dollars. In August, the Company expanded the scope of the engagement to act
     as financial advisor in executing a program to enhance shareholder value.
     This engagement stipulates a cash fee, calculated as a percentage of the
     transaction value, to be paid by the Company to JMS upon closing a
     transaction.


     Note Receivable

     On June 16, 2000, the owner of a former RELM subsidiary defaulted on its
     obligations under a secured promissory note dated May 12, 1997. The
     principal amount outstanding on the note is $1,600. Under the note,
     principal payments of $400 each, together with all accrued and unpaid
     interest were to be paid to the Company on June 16, 2000 and 2001, with a
     final installment due on June 16, 2002. The note is secured pursuant to a
     security agreement under which the former subsidiary has granted the
     Company a lien and security interest in certain collateral. The Company's
     security interest is subordinated to a security interest granted to the
     former subsidiary's senior lender and is subject to a standstill agreement
     with the senior lender. The principal of the former subsidiary has
     guaranteed the prompt and complete payment of the note. The Company is
     currently negotiating a resolution of this matter, which may include
     payment of amounts due to RELM as well as a restructured schedule for
     paying the remaining balance thereafter. There can be no assurance,
     however, that a resolution will be reached between the parties or that, if
     resolved, RELM will receive full payment of the principal and unpaid
     interest on the note.

     The components of inventory, net of reserves totaling $1,934 at September
     30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, consist of the following:

  Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased
  approximately $0.8 million (16.4%) compared to the same period for the prior
  year. Revenues for our core land mobile radio (LMR) products increased $1.0
  million (21.9%) for the same period. This increase is due primarily to sales
  of our BK LMR products to the U. S. Forest Service as a result of significant
  forest fires during the period. Also, new revenues for our Uniden products
  that were acquired earlier this year totaled approximately $0.2 million during
  the third quarter 2000. Non-LMR revenues decreased $0.2 million as we exited
  businesses and products that performed poorly or did not fit our strategic
  focus in wireless communications. These businesses and products included
  electronic components, consumer electronics, and commercial real estate.

  Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased approximately
  $3.0 million (16.0%) compared to the same period for the prior year. Revenues
  for our core LMR products remained at approximately the same level as the
  previous year, totaling $15.1 million in 2000, compared to $15.2 million for
  the same period in 1999. Non-LMR revenues decreased $2.9 million as we exited
  businesses and products that performed poorly or did not fit our strategic
  focus in wireless communications.

     ITEM  2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                -------------------------------------------------------------
                AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS-continued
                ---------------------------------

     Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended
     September 30, 2000 was 71.9% compared to 73.5% for the same period in the
     prior year. This improvement is primarily the result of our continued
     actions to reduce manufacturing overhead costs while improving efficiency
     and quality. Specifically, we have moved operations to a smaller, lower
     cost facility and reduced both our direct and indirect workforce.
     Additionally, we have out-sourced the surface-mount and other portions of
     our front-end manufacturing processes as well as the production of our
     newly acquired Uniden products.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, cost of sales as a percentage
     of sales was 73.7% compared to 71.3% for the previous year. The percentage
     for the prior year was favorably impacted by the sale of commercial real
     estate totaling $908,000. The book value of the real estate was
     significantly reduced in periods prior to 1999 as we increased valuation
     allowances to reflect current market conditions at the time. Excluding this
     sale, cost of sales for the prior year was 74.6%.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) consist of marketing,
     sales, engineering, research and development, information systems,
     accounting and headquarters expenses. For the three months ended September
     30, 2000, SG&A expenses totaled $1,907,000 compared to $1,655,000 for the
     same period during the prior year and $1,886,000 for the second quarter
     2000. Compared to the prior year, we expanded our sales and marketing
     efforts as a result of the acquisition of the Uniden PRC product line and
     to support our planned entry into the government and public safety digital
     markets. Also, we incurred additional legal fees, including those
     pertaining to the default of our former Brazilian dealer. Lastly, we
     incurred expenses related to the Uniden acquisition, financing initiatives,
     and strategic alternatives.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, SG&A expenses totaled
     $5,312,000 compared to $5,301,000 for the same period during the prior
     year. Decreases in our overall SG&A workforce and other expenses were
     offset by expenses related to expanding our sales and marketing efforts and
     increased legal fees, as previously noted. During September 2000, we
     further reduced our SG&A workforce and specific expenses. Also, certain new
     product initiatives are largely completed, resulting in lower R&D expenses.

                ----------------------------------

     Interest Expense
     For the three months ended September 30, 2000 interest expense totaled
     $213,000 compared to $282,000 for the same period during the prior year.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 interest expense totaled
     $735,000 compared to $810,000 for the same period during the prior year.

     In March, we sold our West Melbourne, Florida facility and satisfied the
     related note and mortgage, which totaled approximately $3.6 million. We
     also issued $3.25 million in 8% subordinated convertible notes. Primarily
     due to these transactions, as well as revenue growth during the third
     quarter, we reduced the utilization of our revolving credit facility by
     approximately $2.0 million as of September 30, 2000 compared to September
     30, 1999.

     Other Income
     On March 24, 2000, we completed the sale of our 144,000 square foot
     facility located in West Melbourne, Florida for $5.6 million. The
     transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $1.2 million and provided
     approximately $1.6 million in cash after related expenses and the
     satisfaction of the mortgage on the property. We have leased approximately
     54,000 square feet of comparable space at a nearby location.



     Income Taxes
     No income tax provision was provided for the three or nine months ended
     September 30, 2000 as we have net operating loss carryforward benefits
     totaling approximately $12.0 million at September 30, 2000. We have
     evaluated our tax position in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No.
     109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and do not believe that we meet the
     more-likely-than-not criteria for recognizing a deferred tax asset and have
     provided valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets.



     Inflation and Changing Prices

     Inflation and changing prices for the three and nine months ended September
     30, 2000 and 1999 have contributed to increases in wages, facilities, and
     raw material costs. Effects of these inflationary effects were partially
     offset by increased prices to customers. We believe that we will be able to
     pass on most of our future inflationary increases to our customers. We are
     also subject to changing foreign currency exchange rates in the purchase of
     some raw materials. We employ several methods to protect against increases
     in cost due to currency fluctuations. It is not always possible to pass on
     these effects. Competitors in the LMR markets are subject to similar
     fluctuations.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $7.8 million compared
     with $5.7 million as of December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily the
     result of 1) new product inventory that was part of our acquisition of
     Uniden America's private radio communications product lines, 2) increased
     accounts receivable as a result of improved revenues during August and
     September 2000, 3) the successful private placement of $3.25 million in
     subordinated convertible notes, and 4) the sale of our 144,000 square foot
     facility in West Melbourne, Florida. Please see the notes to the condensed
     consolidated financial statements for further information.


     On June 16, 2000, the owner of a former RELM subsidiary defaulted on its
     obligations under a secured promissory note dated May 12, 1997. (See Notes
     To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Under the note, a
     principal payment of $400,000, together with accrued interest was to be
     paid on June 16, 2000. The Company is currently negotiating a resolution of
     this matter, which may include payment of amounts due to RELM as well as a
     restructured payment schedule for the remaining unpaid balance. There can
     be no assurance, however, that a resolution will be reached between the
     parties or that, if resolved, RELM will receive full repayment of the
     principal and unpaid interest on the note.

     We have a $7.0 million asset-based revolving line of credit. As of
     September 30, 2000, the formula under the terms of the agreement supported
     a borrowing base totaling approximately $5.8 million, of which,
     approximately $1.0 million was available.


     Capital expenditures for property and equipment for the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000 were $217,000 compared to $738,000 for the same period
     during the prior year. The expenditures during the prior year related to
     new product development projects, including tooling, that are now largely
     completed.
