                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


 1. Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------
    The consolidated balance sheet of Aeroflex Incorporated and Subsidiaries
 ("the Company") as of March 31, 1995 and the related consolidated statements
 of earnings for the nine and three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and
 the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
 have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited.  In the opinion of
 management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments
 and the adjustment referred to in Note 2) necessary to present fairly the
 financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 1995 and
 for all periods presented have been made.  Certain information and footnote
 disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
 with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  It is
 suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
 with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's June
 30, 1994 annual report to shareholders.  There have been no changes of
 significant accounting policies since June 30, 1994.  

   Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial
 statements to conform to current classifications.

   Results of operations for the nine and three month periods are not 
necessarily indicative of results of operations for the corresponding years.

 2. Restructuring Charge
    --------------------
    In March 1995, the Company, pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution,
 decided to consolidate its Puerto Rican manufacturing operations into its
 existing facilities in New York and New Jersey.  The Company intends to
 cease manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico as of July 1995 and expects
 the consolidation to be complete by October 1995. In connection with this
 restructuring, the Company has reported a special charge to earnings of
 $1,150,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995, representing costs for
 abandonment of leasehold improvements, lease termination costs, write-
 down of excess equipment and other related costs.  This amount includes
 non-cash costs of approximately $539,000.  Costs for employee severance of
 approximately $525,000 will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

 3. Acquisitions of Businesses
    --------------------------
    In January 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the net
 operating assets of Lintek, Inc. ("Lintek") for $537,000 plus contingent
 consideration based on the next five years' earnings to a maximum of an
 additional $675,000. Lintek designs, develops and manufactures radar cross
 section and antenna pattern measurement systems for commercial and military
 applications, as well as surface penetrating radars.  The acquired Company's
 net sales were approximately $2,600,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
 On a pro forma basis, had the Lintek acquisition taken place as of the
 beginning of the periods presented, results of operations for those periods
 would not have been materially affected.  Effective January 1, 1994, the
 Company acquired substantially all of the net operating assets of the
 microelectronics division of Marconi Circuit Technology Corporation
 ("Circuit Tech") for $5,650,000 and assumed liabilities of $3,115,000.
 The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based upon the
 respective fair values as of the acquisition date.  The purchase was financed
 through borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit agreement.
 The acquired division's net sales of microelectronic products were
 approximately $17,500,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993.

    Summarized below are the unaudited pro forma results of operations of the
 Company as if Circuit Tech had been acquired at the beginning of the fiscal
 periods presented:

     The pro forma financial information presented above is not necessarily
 indicative of either the results of operations that would have occurred had
 the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the periods presented or of
 future operating results of the  combined companies.  

     The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and, accordingly,
 the acquired assets and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their
 estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition.  The operating results of
 the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of earnings
 from their respective acquisition dates.

 4.  Discontinued Operations
     -----------------------
     In September 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Air
 Force in  full settlement of claims against the U.S. Air Force on two telecom-
 munication contracts which were completed in 1992.  The settlement represents
 a final mutual release of all claims between the parties relative to these two
 contracts.  The settlement, together with other unrelated settlements of claims
 and adjustments of previously recorded loss reserves, resulted in an after tax
 gain of $2,295,000, which was included in discontinued operations in the first
 quarter of fiscal 1994.

     In November 1993, the Company sold substantially all of the net operating
 assets of its Huxley subsidiary for $5,550,000.  Huxley is a manufacturer of
 specialized envelopes for high-volume direct-mail users.  The disposal is 
 being accounted for as a discontinued operation, and, accordingly, Huxley's
 operations and the loss on disposal have been reported separately from
 continuing operations.  The total loss of $2,108,000 represents a loss from
 Huxley's operations of $187,000 and a loss on the disposal of $1,921,000.
 Huxley's assets and liabilities have been reclassified on the balance sheet
 from the historic classifications and combined under the caption "net assets
 of discontinued operations".

 5.  Revolving Credit Agreements
     ---------------------------   
    As of April 11, 1994 the Company entered into a revised revolving credit and
 term loan agreement with two banks which is secured by accounts receivable,
 inventory and the Company's stockholdings in certain of its subsidiaries.  The
 agreement provides for a revolving credit line of $16,000,000 and a term loan
 of $4,000,000, both of which expire on March 31, 1997.  The term loan was
 repaid during the third quarter of 1995.  The interest rate on borrowings under
 this agreement is at various rates depending upon certain financial ratios,
 with the present rate substantially equivalent to the prime rate (9% at March
 31, 1995).  The terms of the agreement require compliance with certain
 covenants including minimum consolidated working capital and tangible net
 worth, maintenance of certain financial ratios, limitations on capital
 expenditures and lease commitments, and prohibition of the payment of cash
 dividends.  Management believes that this revolving credit and term loan
 facility, coupled with cash to be provided by future operations, will be
 sufficient for its working capital requirements, capital expenditure needs, 
 wind-down of discontinued operations and the servicing of its debt.

 6.  Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures
     ------------------------------------------ 
     In December 1992, the Company completed a sale of $6,870,000 of principal
 amount of 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures to non-U.S. persons. 
 The debentures  were convertible into the Company's common stock at a price of
 $2.25 per share.  All of the net proceeds from the debenture offering were used
 to repay indebtedness under the revolving credit and term loan agreement. 
 In February 1994, the Company called for redemption all outstanding debentures.
 Substantially all of the debentures were converted and the balance, $8,000,
 was redeemed as of March 31, 1994.  

     During June 1994, the Company completed a sale of $10,000,000 of principal
 amount of 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures to non-U.S.
 persons.  The debentures are due June 15, 2004 and are convertible into the
 Company's common stock at a price of $5-5/8 per share.  The net proceeds from
 the offering were used initially to retire certain bank indebtedness and for
 general working capital with excess proceeds placed in temporary short term
 bank related investments.

8.  Income Taxes
    ------------
     
     At June 30, 1994 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
 approximately $19,000,000 for Federal income tax purposes which expire
 through 2006.  The income tax provisions for the nine and three months ended
 March 31, 1995 and 1994 include benefits relating to the recognition of
 unrealized and realized net operating loss carryforwards.   

     The Company is undergoing routine audits by various taxing authorities of
 several of its U.S. Federal, state and local income tax returns covering
 different periods from 1988 to 1993.  In view of the Company's Puerto Rico
 operations and the increased focus by the Internal Revenue Service on profit
 allocations between U.S. and foreign related entities, deficiencies could be
 proposed.  Management believes that the probable outcome of these various
 audits should not materially affect the consolidated financial statements of
 the Company.

 9.  Contingencies
     -------------
     A subsidiary of the Company whose operations were discontinued in 1991, is
 one of several defendants named in a personal injury action initiated in
 August, 1994, by a group of plaintiffs.  The complaint alleges, among other
 things, that the plaintiffs suffered injuries from exposure to substances
 contained in products sold by the subsidiary to one of its customers. 
 Considering its various defenses, together with its product liability
 insurance, in the opinion of management of the  Company, the outcome of the
 action against its subsidiary will not have a materially adverse effect on the
 Company's consolidated financial statements.

10.  Life Insurance Proceeds
     -----------------------
     During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company received $2,000,000
 of insurance proceeds on the death of the former chairman.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased to $49,597,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 from
$44,259,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1994.  Net income was $4,482,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 including $2,000,000 of life insurance
proceeds on the death of the former chairman and  a restructuring charge of
$1,150,000 representing the non-severance costs of consolidating the Company's
Puerto Rican operations into its existing domestic facilities.  The employee
severance costs associated with the restructuring of approximately $525,000
will be recorded in the fourth quarter.  Net income for the nine months ended
March 31, 1994 was $2,459,000 including a $187,000 gain from discontinued
operations.

Net sales in the electronics segment increased to $38,818,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 from $34,351,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1994 primarily as a result of the acquisition of the microelectronics division
of Marconi Circuit Technology Corporation in January 1994. Operating profits, 
exclusive of the restructuring charge, increased by $1,149,000 as a result of 
the higher sales and improved margins, partially offset by increased research 
and development costs, primarily in the microelectronics division.

Net sales in the shock and vibration segment increased to $10,779,000 for  the 
nine months ended March 31, 1995 from $9,908,000 for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1994.  The increase is primarily attributable to higher sales volume 
of commercial and industrial isolators.  Operating profits, exclusive of the 
restructuring charge, increased by $141,000.  The increase in volume was 
partially offset by an unfavorable change in the product mix and lower margins 
in the military isolator division. 

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 67.3% from 69.8% between the
two periods as a result of improved profit margins primarily in the instrument 
products and microelectronics divisions.  Selling general and administrative 
costs, exclusive of the restructuring charge, as a percentage of sales 
increased to 23.2% from 21.6% primarily due to increased research and 
development costs in the microelectronics division. 

Interest expense decreased to $1,156,000 from $1,176,000.  Decreased levels of
borrowings were offset by increased interest rates.  Interest and other 
income were greater by $468,000 as a result of the short term investments made 
with the proceeds from the 7-1/2% debentures.  The income tax provisions for 
the nine month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were less than the amounts
computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income from continuing
operations before income taxes primarily as a result of the tax benefits of 
loss carryforwards (both unrealized and realized) and the exemption of the 
earnings of the Company's Puerto Rican subsidiary from U.S. Federal income 
taxes, and, for the period ended March 31, 1995, because of the non-taxable 
life insurance proceeds of $2,000,000.  

In September 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Air Force
in full settlement of claims against the U.S. Air Force for extra work, delays 
and other out-of-scope costs on two telecommunication contracts which were the 
primary reasons for T-CAS's loss in 1991.  The settlement represents a final 
mutual release of all claims between the parties relative to these two 
contracts.  The settlement, together with other unrelated settlements of claims
and adjustments of previously recorded loss reserves, resulted in an after tax 
gain of $2,295,000, which was included in discontinued operations in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1994. 

In November 1993, the Company sold substantially all of the net operating 
assets of its Huxley subsidiary.  The disposal is being accounted for as a 
discontinued operation, and, accordingly, Huxley's operations and the loss on 
disposals, have been reported separately from continuing operations.  This loss
of $2,108,000 represents a loss from Huxley's operations of $187,000 and a loss
on the disposal of $1,921,000.

Three Months Ended March 31,1995 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1994
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased to $19,750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 
from $19,187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  Net income was 
$683,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 including a restructuring 
charge of $1,150,000 representing non-severance costs of consolidating the 
Company's Puerto Rican operations into its existing domestic facilities.  The 
employee severance costs associated with the restructuring of approximately 
$525,000 will be recorded in the fourth quarter.  Net income was $1,171,000 in
the prior year.

Net sales in the electronics segment increased to $15,833,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1995 from $15,673,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1994. Operating profits, exclusive of the restructuring charge, 
increased by $501,000 as a result of improved profit margins, partially offset 
by increased research and development costs, primarily in the microelectronics 
division.

Net sales in the shock and vibration segment increased to $3,917,000 for the 
three months ended March 31, 1995 from $3,514,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1994. The increase is primarily attributable to higher sales volume 
of commercial and industrial isolators.  Operating profits, exclusive of the 
restructuring charge, increased by $137,000 due to the increased sales.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 65.8% from 71.2% between 
the two periods primarily as a result of improved margins in the instrument
products and microelectronics divisions.  Selling, general and administrative 
costs, exclusive of the restructuring charge, as a percentage of sales 
increased to 23.6% from 19.7% primarily due to increased research and 
development costs in the microelectronics division.

Interest expense decreased to $372,000 from $387,000.  Decreased levels of 
borrowings were offset by increased interest rates.  Interest and other income 
were greater by $253,000 as a result of the short term investments made with 
the proceeds from the 7-1/2% debentures.  The income tax provisions for the 
three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 were less than the amounts 
computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income 
taxes primarily as a result of the tax benefits of loss carryforwards (both 
unrealized and realized) and the exemption of the earnings of the Company's 
Puerto Rican subsidiary from U.S. Federal income taxes.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company's working capital at March 31, 1995 was $28,932,000 as compared 
to $28,572,000 at June 30, 1994.  The current ratio increased to 3.5 to 1 from 
3.3 to  1 at June 30, 1994.  

Cash provided by operating activities was $6,950,000 for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1995 as compared to $1,594,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 
1994.  The improvement was primarily due to improved earnings (including 
$2,000,000 of life insurance proceeds) and the collections of receivables 
offset, in part, by reductions in accrued expenses.  Cash used by investing 
activities of $2,369,000 was comprised primarily of capital expenditures.  The 
net cash provided by operating and investing activities for the nine month 
period was used to reduce debt by $4,763,000.  Management believes that the 
revolving credit and term loan facility, coupled with cash to be provided by 
future operations, will be sufficient for its presently anticipated working 
capital requirements, capital expenditure needs, wind-down of discontinued 
operations and the servicing of its debt.

As of April 11, 1994, the Company entered into a revised revolving credit and 
term loan agreement with two banks which is secured by accounts receivable, 
inventory and the Company's stockholdings in certain of its subsidiaries.  The 
agreement provides for a revolving credit line of $16,000,000 and a term loan 
of $4,000,000 both of which expire on March 31, 1997.  The term loan was repaid
during the third quarter of 1995.  See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

<PAGE> 13

During June 1994, the Company completed a sale of $10,000,000 of principal 
amount of 7-1/2% Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures to non-U.S. persons.
The debentures are due June 15, 2004 subject to prior sinking fund payments of 
10%, 10%, 15% and 15% of the principal amount on September 15, 2000, 2001, 
2002 and 2003, respectively.  The debentures are convertible into the Company's
common stock at a price of $5-5/8 per share.

In November 1993, the Company sold its Huxley subsidiary for $5,550,000, 
including a $700,000 five year subordinated secured note.  The net cash 
proceeds from the sale were used to repay indebtedness under the revolving 
credit and term loan agreement.  In July, 1994, the $700,000 note was 
satisfied.

In January 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the net operating 
assets of the microelectronics division of Marconi Circuit Technology 
Corporation for $5,650,000.  The operations acquired have been consolidated 
with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Aeroflex Laboratories, Incorporated.
The acquired division's net sales of microelectronic products were approximately
$17,500,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 1993.

In January 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the net operating 
assets of Lintek, Inc. for $537,000 plus contingent consideration based on the 
next five years' earnings to a maximum of an additional $675,000.  Lintek, Inc.
designs, develops and manufactures radar cross section and antenna pattern 
measurement systems for commercial and military applications, as well as surface
penetrating radars.  The acquired Company's net sales were approximately 
$2,600,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

In March 1995, the Company decided to consolidate its Puerto Rican 
manufacturing operations into its existing facilities in New York and New 
Jersey.  The Company intends to cease manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico 
as of July 1995 and expects the consolidation to be complete by October 1995.  
In connection with this restructuring, the Company has reported a special 
charge to earnings of $1,150,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 
representing costs for abandonment of leasehold improvements, lease termination
costs, write-down of excess equipment and other related costs.  This amount 
includes non-cash costs of approximately $539,000.  Costs for employee 
severance of approximately $525,000 will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  The Puerto Rican facility presently employs approximately 100 
persons of which only a few may be relocated to New York or New Jersey.

A subsidiary of the Company whose operations were discontinued in 1991, is one 
of several defendants named in a personal injury action initiated in August, 
1994, by a group of plaintiffs.  The complaint alleges, among other things, 
that the plaintiffs suffered injuries from exposure to substances contained in 
products sold by the subsidiary to one of its customers.  Considering its 
various defenses, together with its product liability insurance, in the opinion
of management of the Company, the outcome of the action against its subsidiary
will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated 
financial statements. 

Since many of the programs in which the Company is involved are not currently
expected to be curtailed, management presently believes that potential 
reductions in military spending will not materially adversely affect its
operations.  

At June 30, 1994, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of 
approximately $19,000,000 for Federal income tax purposes.  The Company is 
undergoing routine audits by various taxing authorities of several of its U.S. 
Federal, state, and local income tax returns covering different periods from 
1988 to 1993.  In view of the Company's Puerto Rico operations and the 
increased focus by the Internal Revenue Service on profit allocations between 
U.S. and foreign related entities, deficiencies could be proposed.  Management 
believes that the probable outcome of these various audits should not materially
affect the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
      

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
        -----------------
        Old Corp. (formerly Filtron Co., Inc.) a subsidiary of the Company whose
        operations were discontinued in October 1991, was one of several
        defendants named in a personal injury action instituted recently by
        several plaintiffs in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
        of Kings.

        According to the allegations of the Amended Verified Complaint, the
        plaintiffs, who are current or former employees of a company to whom Old
        Corp. sold RFI filters/capacitors, and their wives, are seeking to
        recover, respectively, directly and derivatively, on diverse theories of
        negligence, strict liability and breach of warranty, for injuries
        allegedly suffered from exposure to a liquid substance or material which
        Old Corp. incorporated for a period of time in the RFI filters/
        capacitors which it manufactured.

        Without considering the merits of the action, in view of the nature of
        the referenced transactions and based upon the existence of product
        liability insurance covering Old Corp.'s operations during the relevant
        period of time, the management of the Company does not believe that the
        outcome of the action against its subsidiary would have a material
        adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
