                      TII INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 -  Interim financial statements

The unaudited interim financial  statements  presented herein have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  statements and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X
pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  complete  financial  statements.   The  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring  adjustments and accruals which, in
the opinion of management,  are considered  necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company's  consolidated  financial position at December 25, 1998 and results
of  operations  and cash flows for the six months  ended  December  25, 1998 and
December 26, 1997. The financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with
the  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  notes to  consolidated
financial  statements  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 26, 1998.  Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year.

Note 2 - Hurricane Georges

On September 21 and 22, 1998, the Company's  principal  operating  facilities in
Toa  Alta,   Puerto  Rico  and  San  Pedro  De  Macoris,   Dominican   Republic,
respectively, sustained significant inventory, equipment and facility damages as
a result of  Hurricane  Georges.  In  addition,  as a result of the  storm,  the
Company experienced production stoppages throughout the second quarter of fiscal
1999,  during  which  period,  both  facilities   gradually  began  to  ramp  up
production.  Both  facilities  are currently  almost fully  operational  and the
Company expects to have both facilities fully operational  before the end of its
third fiscal  quarter.  During the second  quarter of fiscal  1999,  the Company
received  insurance  prepayments  of $4.0  million  and  accrued  an  additional
insurance claim receivable of $6.7 million for the receipt of insurance proceeds
due to losses  experienced  from  Hurricane  Georges.  The Company has  retained
insurance  advisors  to  process  these  insurance  claims.  Management,   after
discussions with the Company's insurance advisors, believes the total settlement
will exceed the amount  recorded  during the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  An
allowance for damaged inventory,  business  interruption  losses, an accrual for
the estimated fee payable to the Company's insurance advisors and other expenses
and losses incurred totaled $9.7 million.  Accordingly,  insurance proceeds, net
of hurricane losses, resulted in a gain of $1.0 million which has been reflected
in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 3 - Net loss per common share

The Company  utilizes  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,
"Earnings  Per Share"  ("SFAS 128") which  requires  the  reporting of basic and
diluted earnings per share.  Because the Company incurred losses in all reported
periods,  shares  issuable  upon the exercise of stock  options and warrants and
upon  conversion of the Company's  Series C Preferred Stock were not included in
the  calculation  of diluted  earnings per share as their effect would have been
anti-

                                       6

dilutive. However, the embedded dividend related to such Preferred Shares (which
were  issued  in  January  1998)  increased  the net loss  applicable  to common
shareholders  during the first  quarter of fiscal  1999 by  $262,000 or $.03 per
share.

Note 4 - Inventories

Inventories, net of allowances, consisted of the following components:

Note 5 - Subsequent event

On December  31,  1998,  the Company  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement
("Agreement")  to acquire all of the outstanding  shares of capital stock of PRC
Leasing,  Inc. ("PRC"), a corporation  wholly-owned by Alfred J. Roach, Chairman
of the Board of the Company, for $2.2 million of the Company's Common Stock. The
only activity of PRC is leasing  equipment to the Company.  The existing  lease,
which was  entered  into in July of 1991,  requires  annual  rental  payments of
$200,000 and expires in July 2001.  In November  1998,  the Company  obtained an
appraisal of the equipment  from a certified  appraiser who  calculated the fair
market  value of the  equipment  to be $2.2  million.  The closing  price of the
Company's Common Stock on December 31, 1998 was $1.875 per share and the Company
agreed to issue 1,176,213  shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding capital stock of PRC, subject to completion of the transaction which
requires,  among other things,  approval by the Company's  stockholders.  Rental
payments  ceased  effective  December 31,  1998,  subject to  completion  of the
transaction.  If the  transaction  is not  completed,  the original terms of the
lease shall again govern,  including the  requirement to pay all rent that would
otherwise have been paid for periods after December 31, 1998.

Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations:

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
foregoing consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

General

                                       7
<PAGE>


As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated  financial statements,  the Company's
principal  operating  facilities  in Toa  Alta,  Puerto  Rico  and San  Pedro De
Macoris,  Dominican Republic,  respectively,  sustained  significant  inventory,
equipment and facility damages as a result of Hurricane Georges. In addition, as
a result of the storm, the Company experienced  production  stoppages throughout
the  second  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  during  which  period,  both  facilities
gradually  began to ramp up production.  Both  facilities  are currently  almost
fully  operational  and the  Company  expects  to  have  both  facilities  fully
operational  before  the  end of its  third  fiscal  quarter.  Accordingly,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  reflect a reduced sales level in the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1999,  the  receipt  and  accrual  of  insurance  proceeds,
inventory,   equipment   and  business   interruption   losses  and   additional
expenditures incurred due to Hurricane Georges.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the second  quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased $1.5 million or 14.9%
to $8.6 million from $10.1  million for the second  quarter of fiscal 1998.  The
decline  in sales  relates  to the  Company's  shortfall  in  production  due to
production  stoppages and damages to the Company's facilities in Puerto Rico and
the Dominican  Republic caused by Hurricane  Georges.  The Company  continues to
expend all efforts to reach full  production  levels as early as possible in the
third quarter of fiscal 1999.  Net sales for the six months ended  December 1998
decreased  only $360,000 or 1.5% to $23.2 million from $23.6 million for the six
months ended  December 1997  principally  as a result of an increase in sales in
the first  quarter of fiscal  1999 over the first  quarter of fiscal 1998 due to
gains in  sales of the  Company's  network  interface  device  and  fiber  optic
enclosure product lines.

Gross  profit  for the  second  quarter  and  first six  months  of fiscal  1999
increased by $1.1  million to $1.5 million and by $1.1 million to $4.0  million,
respectively.  Gross profit as a percentage  of sales  increased  for the second
quarter  and first six  months of fiscal  1999 to 18.0% and 17.4%  from 4.9% and
12.5% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1998,  respectively.
Gross  profit in the  second  quarter  and first six  months of fiscal  1998 was
adversely affected by production  problems  encountered ramping up production of
the Company's broadband network interface device product line. Gross profit as a
percentage of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased to 18.0% from
17.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999,  as the Company  realized a reduction
in material  costs.  Furthermore,  manufacturing  overheads  incurred  while the
Puerto  Rico  and  Dominican   Republic   facilities   were  idle  or  producing
significantly less than normal were aggregated and reclassified to the line item
insurance  proceeds,  net of hurricane losses on the  Consolidated  Statement of
Operations.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
1999  increased  by $146,000 or 6.9% to $2.3  million  from $2.1 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 1998. Selling,  general and administrative expenses for
the first six  months of fiscal  1999  increased  by  $480,000  or 12.1% to $4.5
million from $4.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 1998. The increases
during these periods resulted primarily from increased personnel,  promotion and
other  costs  associated  with the  Company's  efforts  to promote  certain  new
products,  including its new Coaxial Cable Surge Protector product line and from
higher legal fees associated with protecting the Company's intellectual property
rights.


                                       8
<PAGE>


Research  and  development  expenses  for the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1999
increased  $40,000 or 5.1% to $832,000 from  $792,000 for the second  quarter of
fiscal  1998.  Research  and  development  expenses  for the first six months of
fiscal 1999 increased $153,000 or 9.8% to $1.7 million from $1.6 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1998.  The  increases  relate  primarily to a greater
number of personnel  and other costs  associated  with product  development  for
expansion of the Company's product lines,  including its new Coaxial Cable Surge
Protector.

During the  second  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  the  Company  received  insurance
prepayments of $4.0 million and accrued an additional insurance claim receivable
of $6.7 million for the receipt of insurance  proceeds due to losses experienced
from Hurricane  Georges.  The Company has retained insurance advisors to process
these  insurance  claims.  Management,  after  discussions  with  the  Company's
insurance  advisors,  believes  the total  settlement  will  exceed  the  amount
recorded  during the second  quarter of fiscal 1999.  An  allowance  for damaged
inventory,  business  interruption  losses,  an accrual  for the  estimated  fee
payable  to the  Company's  insurance  advisors  and other  expenses  and losses
incurred totaled $9.7 million. Accordingly, insurance proceeds, net of hurricane
losses  resulted  in a gain of $1.0  million  which  has been  reflected  in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Interest  expense  for the second  quarter  and first six months of fiscal  1999
increased  by $54,000 to $107,000  and by $113,000 to $220,000  from $53,000 and
$107,000  in  the  second   quarter  and  first  six  months  of  fiscal   1998,
respectively.  The increases are due to increased borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities.

Interest  income for the  second  quarter  and first six  months of fiscal  1999
decreased by $29,000 to $1,000 and by $87,000 to $2,000 from $30,000 and $89,000
in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1998,  respectively, due to
reduced cash and marketable securities balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital balance decreased $631,000 to $15.4 million at the
end of the second quarter of fiscal 1999 from the year ended June 1998 balance.

During the first six months of fiscal 1999, $1.4 million of cash was provided by
operations.  While the Company had a net loss of $1.3  million for the first six
months of fiscal 1999,  the loss included  non-cash  charges of $1.2 million for
depreciation  and  amortization  and a $5.2  million  provision  for  inventory.
Accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities  increased  $2.0 million and accounts
receivable-trade  decreased $2.7 million  providing $4.7 million of cash.  These
sources of cash were partially  offset by the insurance claim receivable of $6.7
million and inventory increasing $1.9 million, before deducting the $5.2 million
provision for inventory.

During the first six months of fiscal  1999,  cash of $1.0  million  was used in
investing  activities  for  capital  expenditures.   Financing  activities  used
$211,000,  with a net repayment of debt and obligations  under capital leases of
$383,000 being partially offset by $172,000  realized from the exercise of stock
options and warrants.


                                       9

The Company has credit facilities with BNY Financial  Corporation,  an affiliate
of The Bank of New York, in an aggregate  principal amount of $12.5 million (the
"Credit  Facilities") which was, by its terms,  adjusted on December 31, 1998 to
$7.7  million.  The  Credit  Facilities  enable  the  Company to have up to $6.0
million of revolving  credit  loans  outstanding  at any one time,  limited by a
borrowing base equal to 85% of eligible accounts  receivable and 50% of eligible
inventory,  subject to certain  reserves.  At December 25, 1998 $2.5 million was
outstanding under this facility.  In addition,  the Company was also entitled to
borrow until  December 31, 1998 up to $6.5 million,  limited by a borrowing base
not  exceeding  75% of  the  purchase  price  of new  equipment  or the  orderly
liquidation value of eligible  equipment already owned. At December 25, 1998 and
December 31, 1998 $1.7 million was outstanding  under this facility.  Subject to
extension in certain instances,  the scheduled maturity date of revolving credit
loans is April  30,  2003,  while  capital  expenditure  loans  are to be repaid
through  March 31,  2003,  subject  to  mandatory  repayments  from  disposition
proceeds and insurance proceeds in certain circumstances.

The Credit  Facilities  require that the Company maintain tangible net worth (as
defined) of $30.0 million.  As of December 25, 1998, the Company's  tangible net
worth (as defined) was approximately $31.5 million. The Company believes it will
reduce the operating  loss during the quarters  ended March 26 and June 25, 1999
compared to the September and December 1998 quarters.  However, if the operating
losses were to continue  or  increase,  or events  occurred  causing  additional
losses,  the Company may cease to be in compliance  with this  covenant.  If the
Company is unable to obtain a waiver or amendment of this  provision,  it may be
unable to borrow under,  and the lender would be able to  accelerate  payment of
outstanding  borrowings  under,  the Credit  Facilities.  In connection with the
damages  suffered as a result of  Hurricane  Georges,  the Company has  asserted
claims  under  its  insurance  policies  to  cover  losses  sustained  from  the
hurricane,  including  business  interruption  and has already  received several
advance  payments  from its insurance  carriers.  To the extent  expected  final
payments are delayed,  the Company may find it necessary to further borrow under
the Credit Facilities,  subject to the borrowing limits thereof. There can be no
assurance that such credit limits will be sufficient and, if the lender does not
permit borrowings in excess thereof, the Company may require temporary financing
from other  sources.  Management  believes,  however,  that  should the  Company
require additional or replacement financing, the Company would be able to secure
alternate  sources of financing.  The Company's ability to obtain such financing
will be  affected  by such  factors  as its  results  of  operations,  financial
condition and business  prospects.  There can be no assurances  that the Company
will be able to,  or the  terms on  which  it may be able  to,  obtain  any such
financing.

Year 2000

In fiscal 1997 the Company commenced, and during fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999 has
continued,  a  program  to  assess  and  address  in a  timely  manner  all  its
information systems,  including customer service,  production,  distribution and
financial  systems to assure that they will  properly  record and  recognize the
year 2000 and beyond.  A significant  portion of the Company's year 2000 program
has been implemented as part of its program to upgrade its information  systems,
which the Company had  committed  to do  regardless  of the year 2000 issue.  In
addition,   the   Company  has  

                                       10
<PAGE>

assessed the impact of the year 2000 on non-information  technology systems. The
Company has spent  approximately  $850,000 on computer  hardware,  software  and
related  support for this  information  systems  upgrade  program and expects to
spend approximately  $200,000 more to complete its year 2000 compliance program.
If it becomes necessary to dedicate additional  financial and other resources to
complete the Company's  information  systems upgrade program and to complete the
conversion of non-information  technology  equipment for year 2000 compliance by
the  end of  fiscal  year  1999  (the  Company's  estimated  year  2000  program
completion date), or shortly thereafter, the Company intends to do so.

The Company is also communicating with its suppliers,  customers,  distributors,
and others with whom it conducts business to coordinate year 2000 compliance and
to identify  alternative  sources of supply for  materials,  if  necessary.  The
implementation  of these plans is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the results of  operations  or the  financial  condition of the Company.  The
Company presently  believes  alternative  sources of supply will be available in
the event of  unforeseen  year 2000  compliance  issues that  affect  suppliers'
abilities  to fulfill  requirements.  If  production  and other plans need to be
modified  because of unforeseen  year 2000 issues at vendors,  distributors  and
others with whom the Company  conducts  business,  the Company  intends to do so
when the need for such modification becomes apparent.

If the Company or its  suppliers,  distributors  or others with whom it conducts
business  are unable to identify  and address the system  issues  related to the
year 2000 risk on a timely basis,  there could be a material  adverse  effect on
its results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Forward-looking Statements

In  order to keep the  Company's  stockholders  and  investors  informed  of the
Company's  future plans,  this Report  contains (and,  from time to time,  other
reports and oral or written statements issued by the Company or on its behalf by
its officers contain) forward-looking statements concerning, among other things,
the Company's future plans and objectives.  The Company's ability to do this has
been  fostered by the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 which
provides a "safe harbor" for  forward-looking  statements to encourage companies
to provide  prospective  information so long as those statements are accompanied
by meaningful  cautionary  statements  identifying  important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the statement.
The Company  believes that it is in the best interests of its  stockholders  and
potential  investors to take  advantage of the "safe harbor"  provisions of that
Act.  The  forward-looking  statements  contained  in this  report (and in other
reports  filed by the Company,  and oral  statements  made by  Management of the
Company,  from time to time) are subject to a number of known and unknown  risks
and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results,  performance or
achievements  to differ  materially  from  those  described  or  implied  in the
forward-looking  statements.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the
timing and the amount of  insurance  proceeds to be  received  on the  Company's
claim for losses  incurred due to Hurricane  Georges;  the Company's  ability to
maintain  compliance with it Credit  Facilities;  general  economic and business
conditions,   including   the   regulatory   environment   applicable   to   the
telecommunications  industry;  weather and  similar  conditions  (including  the
effects  of  hurricanes  in  the   Caribbean   where  the  Company's   principal
manufacturing  facilities  are

                                       11

located); competition;  potential technological changes, including the Company's
ability to timely  develop  new  products  and adapt its  existing  products  to
technological  changes;  potential  changes in customer  spending and purchasing
policies and practices, as well as the Company's ability to market its existing,
recently  developed  and  new  products;  the  risks  inherent  in  new  product
introductions,  such as start-up delays and uncertainty of customer  acceptance;
the Company's dependence on third parties for product components;  the Company's
ability to attract and retain technologically qualified personnel; the retention
of the  tax  benefits  provided  by  its  Puerto  Rico  and  Dominican  Republic
operations;  the  Company's  ability  to  fulfill  its  growth  strategies;  the
availability of financing on satisfactory  terms to support the Company's growth
plans; the Company's  ability to timely and successfully  complete its year 2000
compliance  program and its suppliers  and customers to timely and  successfully
complete  their year 2000  compliance  programs  in a manner  compatible  to the
Company's systems:  and other factors discussed  elsewhere in this Report and in
other  Company  reports   hereafter  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three  months ended  December 25, 1998,  holders of 700 shares of the
Company's  Series  C  Convertible  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock  converted  such
Preferred Stock into 410,241 shares of the Company's  Common Stock.  The Company
believes that the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act"), is applicable to the
issuance of such shares, as such issuance  involved a security  exchanged by the
Company with existing security holders exclusively, where no commission or other
remuneration  was paid or given  directly  or  indirectly  for  soliciting  such
exchanges.

Item 5.  Other Events

On December  31,  1998,  the Company  entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement
("Agreement")  to acquire all of the outstanding  shares of capital stock of PRC
Leasing,  Inc. ("PRC"), a corporation  wholly-owned by Alfred J. Roach, Chairman
of the Board of the Company, for $2.2 million of the Company's Common Stock. The
only activity of PRC is leasing  equipment to the Company.  The existing  lease,
which was  entered  into in July of 1991,  requires  annual  rental  payments of
$200,000 and expires in July 2001.  In November  1998,  the Company  obtained an
appraisal of the equipment  from a certified  appraiser who  calculated the fair
market  value of the  equipment  to be $2.2  million.  The closing  price of the
Company's Common Stock on December 31, 1998 was $1.875 per share and the Company
agreed to issue 1,176,213  shares of its Common Stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding capital stock of PRC, subject to completion of the transaction which
requires,  among other things,  approval by the Company's  stockholders.  Rental
payments  ceased  effective  December 31,  1998,  subject to  completion  of the
transaction.  If the  transaction  is not  completed,  the original terms of the
lease shall again govern,  including the  requirement to pay all rent that would
otherwise have been paid for periods after December 31, 1998.
