  (a) The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Form
      10-QSB have been prepared from the accounting records without audit on a
      basis consistent with the financial statements included in the Company's
      annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
      preceding fiscal year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
      normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
      pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission.  The information furnished reflects all adjustments and
      disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal,
      recurring nature, and necessary for a fair statement of the results for
      the interim periods.  This report should be read in conjunction with the
      Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  The results of operations

PART I/ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996, were $1,642,000, a 2% 
decrease from net sales of $1,679,000 in the same period last year.  Net 
sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, were $4,886,000, comparable to 
net sales of $4,880,000 for the same period last year.  The decrease in net 
sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, was primarily 
attributable to a decline in sales of microwave counters to government 
contractors and commercial customers.  Sales of microwave counters have been 
and will be affected by a delay in the expected introduction of a new 
microwave counter by the Company.

Gross margin decreased to 34% in the third fiscal quarter of 1996, from 43% 
in the third fiscal quarter of 1995.  Gross margin was 37% for the nine 
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 48% for the same period last year. 
The decrease for both periods was primarily attributable to a lower average 
selling price on product sales for one government program.  Due to new 
product orders for this government program, the Company expects the lower 
average selling price under this program to continue to impact the Company's 
overall gross margin.

Incoming orders for the third fiscal quarter were $2,453,000, comparable to 
orders of $2,445,000 for the same period a year ago.  Incoming orders for the 
nine months ended June 30, 1996, were $5,007,000, a 12% decrease from orders 
of $5,679,000 for the same period a year ago.  Backlog at June 30, 1996, was 
$1,292,000, a 19% decrease from a backlog of $1,602,000 at the end of the 
third fiscal quarter last year.  The decrease in orders for the nine month 
period ended June 30, 1996, and backlog, resulted primarily from a decrease 
in orders from government contractors for product configured in the VXIbus 
format, and a decrease in orders of microwave counters from government 
contractors and commercial customers, compared to the same period last year.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased 50% to $258,000 in 
the third fiscal quarter of 1996, compared to $172,000 for the same quarter 
last year.  Research, development and engineering expenses increased 33% to 
$724,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $544,000 for 
the same period last year.  The increase in research, development and 
engineering expenses for both periods was primarily attributable to new 
product development expenditures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8% to $496,000 during 
the third fiscal quarter of 1996, compared to $540,000 for the same quarter 
last year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 9% to 
$1,548,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1,710,000 in 
the same period last year.  The decrease in selling, general and 
administrative expenses for both periods is due primarily to a deferral of 
advertising costs until the introduction of the Company's next new product, 
and to no accrued bonuses, compared to the same periods last year.

EIP MICROWAVE, INC.

PART I/ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)

The Company incurred a net loss of $197,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 
1996, as compared to net income of $23,000 during the same period last year. 
The Company incurred a net loss of $319,000 for the nine months ended June 
30, 1996, as compared to net income of $163,000 for the same period last 
year.  A credit of $111,000 due to the forgiveness by the Company's Board of 
Directors of accrued directors' fees as of February 13, 1996, is included in 
the nine month net loss ended June 30, 1996.  A gain on sale of capital 
equipment of $50,000 is also included in the nine month net loss ended June 
30, 1996.  The decrease in earnings for both periods, compared to the same 
periods last year, is primarily due to a decreased gross margin resulting 
from product sales to one government program, and to increased research, 
development and engineering expenses.  In addition, earnings have been and 
will be affected by the decrease in microwave counter sales and the delay in 
new product introduction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investment balance was $386,000, as compared with a cash, cash equivalents 
and short-term investment balance of $445,000 at September 30, 1995.  At June 
30, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.  
At June 30, 1996, working capital decreased $506,000, from September 30, 
1995, and the Company's current ratio decreased to 1.68:1 from 2.09:1 over 
the same time period.

On November 27, 1995, the Company renewed its bank line of credit ("line") 
which was modified on June 28, 1996, and which as modified provides for 
borrowings up to 60% of eligible accounts receivable, not to exceed $500,000, 
which expires November 15, 1996.  Interest is charged at the bank's prime 
rate plus 3% provided that the interest rate in effect each month shall not 
be less than 10% per annum, and is payable monthly.  This line is secured by 
the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets.  The 
agreement, as modified, contains various restrictive covenants requiring, 
among other matters, the maintenance of minimum levels of tangible net worth 
and profitability and certain financial ratios, including minimum quick ratio 
and maximum debt to net worth ratio.  At June 30, 1996, the Company was in 
compliance with the restrictive covenants of the line as modified.  
Borrowings of $185,000 were outstanding under the line at June 30, 1996.

The Company believes that the cash on hand and funds generated from 
operations and borrowings under the Company's line of credit will adequately 
finance the Company's operations during the remaining portion of fiscal 1996. 
If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with the restrictive 
covenants under its line, the Company believes that additional funds 
sufficient to adequately finance its operations during fiscal 1996 can be 
obtained from the liquidation of its short-term investments and further 
reductions in expenses.

                           LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Loan Modification Agreement is entered into as of June 28, 1996, by 
and between EIP Microwave, Inc. ("Borrower") whose address is 1589 Centre 
Pointe Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035, and Silicon Valley Bank ("Silicon") whose 
address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054.
     
1.   DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS:  Among other indebtedness which 
may be owing by Borrower to Silicon, Borrower is indebted to Silicon pursuant 
to, among other documents, a Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 10, 
1992 (including the Schedule thereto), as such agreement may be amended from 
time to time (the "Loan Agreement").  The Loan Agreement provided for, among 
other things, a Credit Limit in the original principal amount of Five Hundred 
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the "A/R Facility").  Defined 
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as in 
the Loan Agreement.  

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Silicon shall be referred 
to as the "Indebtedness."

2.   DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL AND GUARANTIES:  Repayment of the Indebtedness 
is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement.

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together 
with all other documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness shall be 
referred to as the "Security Documents."  Hereinafter, the Security 
Documents, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the 
Indebtedness shall be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents."

3.   DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.  

     A.   MODIFICATION(S) TO THE SCHEDULE TO LOAN AGREEMENT.

          1.   The first paragraph of section 1.1 entitled "Credit Limit" is
               hereby amended to read, in its entirety:

               An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) Five Hundred Thousand
               and 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00); or (ii) sixty percent (60%) of
               the Net Amount of Borrower's accounts, which Silicon in its
               discretion deems eligible for borrowing.

          2.   The first sentence of section 1.2 entitled "Interest Rate"' is
               hereby amended to read, in its entirety:

               Effective as of the date hereof, a rate equal to the "Prime
               Rate", in effect from time to time, plus three (3.00) percent per
               annum, provided that the interest rate  in effect in each month
               shall not be less than ten (10.00) percent per annum.

          3.   The Financial Covenants as provided in Section 4.1 entitled
               "Financial Covenants" are hereby amended as follows:

               QUICK ASSET RATIO.  Borrower shall maintain, on a monthly basis,
               beginning with the month ended April 30, 1996, a ratio of "Quick

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10(A)


               DEBT TO TANGIBLE NET WORTH.  Borrower shall maintain, on a
               monthly basis, beginning with the month ended April 30, 1996, a
               ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not more than
               1.25 to 1:00.

               PROFITABILITY.  Borrower shall be profitable (after taxes) on a
               quarterly and annual basis, with an allowance for losses,
               provided such losses do not exceed $200,000.00 for the quarter
               ending June 30, 1996 and $175,000.00 for the quarter ending
               September 30, 1996.

4.   CONSISTENT CHANGES.  The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended 
wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

5.   PAYMENT OF VARIANCE FEE.  Borrower shall pay Silicon a fee in the amount 
of Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00) (the "Variance Fee") plus all 
out-of-pocket expenses.

6.   NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor 
signing below) agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay 
any amounts under the Indebtedness.

7.   CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing 
below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, 
Silicon is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and 
agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly 
modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the 
Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  
Silicon's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to 
this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Silicon to make any 
future modifications to the Indebtedness.   Nothing in this Loan Modification 
Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness.  It is the 
intention of Silicon and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and 
endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released 
by Silicon in writing.  No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by 
virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement.  The terms of this paragraph 
apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all 
subsequent loan modification agreements.

8.   CONDITIONS.  The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is 
conditioned upon payment of the Variance Fee.

     This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first 
written above.
