                       (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.
  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.

  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. 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.

  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. Also, a
  principal of the former subsidiary has guaranteed the prompt and complete
  payment of the note. The former subsidiary has engaged financial advisors to
  pursue a refinancing program. Although such a program has not been finalized,
  the Company believes that it will include a substantial cash payment as well
  as restructured schedule for paying the remaining balance thereafter.

  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. 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.

  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.  We believe that all sums due will be recovered.  The former subsidiary
  has engaged financial advisors to execute a refinancing program.  Although
  such a program is not yet complete and formalized, we believe that the former
  subsidiary will successfully complete its refinancing and that the terms will
  include a substantial cash payment to RELM as well as a restructured payment
  schedule for the remaining unpaid balance.

  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.
