ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITY OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) & (b) The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership (and
information concerning voting and dispositive power) of Mr. Roach as of June 21,
1999:

                        Number of                       Percent
Name                    Shares (1)                     of Class (2)
- ----                    -------                        ---------


Alfred J. Roach         751,600 (3)                     8.9% (3)



     --------

(1) Alfred J. Roach has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
shares owned by him. Includes (a) 711,240 outstanding shares owned by Mr. Roach
and (b) 40,360 shares issuable upon the exercise of the portion of options held
under the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan which are exercisable on or within 60
days after June 21, 1999. As a result of the restructuring of options occurring
on October 8, 1998 (and as amended and restated on April 7, 1999) and December
8, 1998 as described in paragraphs (c)(xviii) and (c)(xviv) below, the only
options held by Mr. Roach which are exercisable as of June 21, 1999 or within 60
days after June 21, 1999 are the options to purchase 40,360 shares of Common
Stock granted on November 14, 1989. Excludes 51,744 outstanding shares that are
owned by Mr. Roach's wife, Dorothy Roach. Mr. Roach disclaims beneficial
ownership of all securities held by his wife.


(2) Percent of Class is based on 8,406,034 shares of Common Stock actually
outstanding on June 21, 1999 and also assumes the issuance of the Common Stock
upon the exercise of options (to the extent exercisable on or within 60 days
after June 21, 1999) deemed beneficially owned by Mr. Roach but by no other
person or entity.


(3) If Mr. Roach is also deemed the beneficial owner of the shares beneficially
owned by his wife, he would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of
803,344 shares of Common Stock, or 9.5% of the Company's outstanding shares
(including, in both cases, options exercisable on or within 60 days after June
21, 1999).

         Open market purchase     19,200           6.275              120,480
                                 -------                             ---------
                                 113,960                             $646,255

              (ii)    On November 14, 1989, Mr. Roach was granted an option to

                      and outstanding shares of capital stock of Crown, which
                      was owned by Mr. Roach. Crown was established by Mr. Roach
                      in 1985 to acquire certain assets of a vendor of certain
                      components to the Company and thereupon became a vendor of
                      components to the Company. See paragraph (c)(x) below.
                      Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was valued at $100
                      and became convertible commencing July 18, 1994 into
                      Common Stock, based on such value, at an exercise price of
                      $6.25 per share subject to potential anti-dilution
                      adjustments.

              (iv)    On July 18, 1991, the Company issued 5,000 shares of the
                      Series A Preferred Stock to PRC as part of the purchase
                      price for Crown in settlement of $500,000 of indebtedness
                      owed by Crown to PRC and 2,850 shares of Series A
                      Preferred Stock for the purchase from PRC of certain
                      equipment. These shares were subsequently transferred by
                      PRC to Mr. Roach.

              (v)     On each of July 18, 1991, January 18, 1992 and July 18,
                      1992, the Company issued 1,000 shares of Series A
                      Preferred Stock in consideration of $100,000 semi-annual
                      rentals under the Equipment Lease. These shares were
                      subsequently transferred by PRC to Mr. Roach.

              (vi)    On each of December 3, 1991 and January 17, 1992, Mr.
                      Roach purchased 15,000 shares of Common Stock by

                      Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of
                      $2.50 per share.

                      Roach purchased 1,720 shares of Common Stock by exercising

                      Company on February 3, 1992 for $500,000 for 200,000
                      shares of Common Stock and Warrants entitling him to
                      purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock until August 6,
                      1995 at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. See

                      (pursuant to the terms of the agreement under which they
                      were issued) by 2,740 shares (to 12,390 shares) the 15,130

                      a $100,000 semi-annual rental payment due January 18,

                      shares of the Company's Class B Stock, $.01 par value per

                      Common Stock.

              (xvi)   On August 4, 1995, the Company redeemed 10,000 of the
                      27,626 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by Mr.
                      Roach at their aggregate liquidation and redemption price
                      of $1,000,000 and Mr. Roach exercised his Warrants (which
                      entitled Mr. Roach to purchase 200,000 shares of Common
                      Stock until August 6, 1995 at an exercise price of $5.00
                      per share of Common Stock), paid the exercise price of

                      upon such exercise.

                      $1,762,600.

              (xviii) On September 27, 1995, Alfred J. Roach and Dorothy Roach
                      converted, in accordance with the provisions of the
                      Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as

                      number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, resulting
                      in a reduction in outstanding Class B Stock to a level
                      that all remaining Class B Stock (having, generally, 10
                      votes per shares) were automatically converted into Common

                      $4.50 per share, which option became exercisable, on a
                      cumulative basis, as to 10,000 shares on each of July 25,
                      1997, July 25, 1998, July 25, 1999, July 25, 2000 and July

                      $4.375 per share, which option became exercisable, on a

                      paragraph (c)(xviii) below for information concerning the
                      restructuring of this option.

         (xviii)      On October 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
                      offered Mr. Roach the right (which Mr. Roach accepted on
                      that date) to modify his existing options to purchase an
                      aggregate of 110,000 shares of Common Stock under the
                      Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") by
                      reducing the exercise price of such options to $1.563 per
                      share, providing a new ten year term which extends until
                      October 7, 2008, with such modified options becoming
                      exercisable in five equal annual installments commencing
                      October 8, 1999. Similar offers to modify all other
                      existing options under the 1995 Plan were also made to all
                      other option holders. This modification may be considered
                      a cancellation of the old options and a grant of a new
                      option under the 1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan contains a limit
                      on the number of shares of Common Stock for which options
                      may be granted to any person in a calendar year to
                      100,000. With the foregoing limit in mind, the Board of
                      Directors of the Company intended to modify options as to
                      100,000 of such 110,000 shares in 1999, but the options
                      with respect to all 110,000 shares were inadvertently
                      modified on October 8, 1998. On March 19, 1999, certain
                      stockholders of the Company commenced a purported class
                      action lawsuit against the Company and its directors in
                      the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for
                      New Castle County. The lawsuit alleged, among other
                      things, that all options modified by the Company on
                      October 8, 1998 were invalid. On April 7, 1999, counsel
                      for the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants entered
                      into a Memorandum of Understanding (the "Memorandum of
                      Understanding") pursuant to which an agreement in
                      principle was reached to settle the lawsuit. The
                      Memorandum of Understanding was embodied in a formal
                      Stipulation of Settlement entered into on May 25, 1999
                      (the "Stipulation of Settlement"). The settlement is
                      subject to, among other things, final court approval of
                      the settlement and dismissal of the action with prejudice,
                      on the merits and without costs (except for a maximum of
                      $300,000 for plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses).
                      Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding and the
                      Stipulation of Settlement, among other things, the October
                      8, 1998 modification was corrected and restated to cover
                      100,000 shares of Common Stock which remain exercisable at
                      a price of $1.563 per share until October 7, 2008 and
                      continue to become exercisable in five equal annual
                      installments commencing October 8, 1999. Options to
                      purchase 10,000 shares originally modified on October 8,
                      1998 were modified on April 7, 1999 so that they are
                      exercisable at an exercise price of $1.594 per share until
                      April 6, 2009 and become exercisable in five equal annual
                      installments commencing April 7, 2000. All such options,
                      to purchase 110,000 shares, were specifically stated not
                      to be incentive stock options within the meaning of
                      Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
                      amended.

         (xviv)       On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
                      offered Mr. Roach the right to cancel his existing options
                      granted on November 14, 1989 (to purchase 40,360 shares of
                      Common Stock), September 14, 1994 (to purchase 100,000
                      shares of Common Stock) and May 15, 1995 (to purchase
                      100,000 shares of Common Stock) under the Company's 1986
                      Stock Option Plan and receive a new option to purchase an
                      aggregate of 240,360 shares of Common Stock under the
                      Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan. Similar offers were made
                      to all other option holders under the Company's 1986 Stock
                      Option Plan with respect to all of their options under the
                      Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan. On December 8, 1998, Mr.
                      Roach accepted the offer as to his options granted on
                      September 14, 1994 and May 15, 1995, but not as to his
                      options granted on November 14, 1989. The new option to
                      purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock has an exercise
                      price of $2.313 per share, a term of ten years which
                      extends until December 7, 2008, and is exercisable, on a
                      cumulative basis, in five equal annual installments
                      commencing December 8, 1999. The new option is governed by
                      the Company's new 1998 Stock Option Plan instead of the
                      1986 Stock Option Plan which governed the then existing
                      options.

(d)      No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to
         direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
         the shares owned by Mr. Roach.

              (a)     Mr. Roach holds options, granted under the Company's 1986

                      options are presently exercisable in full and expire on
                      November 13, 1999. After giving effect to the modification
                      of options described in Item 5(c)(xviii), Mr. Roach also

                      on April 6, 2009. After giving effect to the cancellation
                      of options and receipt of a replacement option described
                      in Item 5(c)(xviv), Mr. Roach further holds an option
                      granted under the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan to
                      purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
                      price of $2.313 per share, which option is exercisable, on
                      a cumulative basis, as to 40,000 shares on each of

                      December 8, 2002 and December 8, 2003 and expires on
                      December 7, 2008.

              (b)     On December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock
                      Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") to acquire from Alfred J.

                      PRC for $2,205,400 of the Company's Common Stock. The only
                      activity of PRC is leasing equipment to the Company. The
                      Memorandum of Understanding and the Stipulation of
                      Settlement provide, among other things, that, subject to

                      Roach will rescind and withdraw the Agreement, and the

                             CORRECTED AND RESTATED

                              TII Industries, Inc.
                                1385 Akron Street

                                 October 8, 1998

Dear 1995 Plan Option Holders:

           Our Board of Directors, after reviewing stock options held by you,
has noted that the value of the option(s) granted to you under the Company's
1995 Stock Option Plan has been diminished as a result of the recent decline in
the market value of the Company's Common Stock. Therefore, the Board has
authorized an offer to you to modify your existing option(s) under that Plan to
reduce the exercise price to $1.563 per share and provide a new ten-year term
which extends until October 7, 2008, but with a new vesting schedule which is
similar to that which would pertain if a brand new option was granted to you
today, that is, the option(s) would vest in five equal annual installments
commencing October 8, 1999. The option(s) would otherwise continue to be
governed under your existing option contract(s) and the provisions of the
Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended. A copy of the 1995 Stock Option
Plan is enclosed herewith, as is a copy of a Summary Plan Description.

           The modified option will not be an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, but rather will be
a non-qualified stock option.

           If you elect to accept this modification, please complete, sign and
return the enclosed copy of this letter. The offer is open until November 30,
1998. Accordingly, if we do not receive a signed copy of this letter on or
before that date, your option contract(s) will not be modified and you will
retain your old option(s) without modification -- with its existing exercise
price, term and vesting schedule. This election can be made separately as to
each option held by you under the 1995 Stock Option Plan. (See list of options
granted to you under the 1995 Plan attached.)

           This letter corrects and restates a similar letter which called on an
amendment to the entire option granted to Alfred J. Roach on December 30, 1997
(covering an aggregate of 60,000 shares) in lieu of a portion of such option
covering 50,000 shares.

           Should you have any questions, please feel free to call Virginia M.
Hall, Vice President-Administration
at 516-789-5000.

Dear 1995 Plan Option Holders:

           Our Board of Directors, after reviewing the remaining stock options
granted to you on December 30, 1997 under the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan
(to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock) that were not modified
on October 8, 1998, has noted that the value of those option(s) has been
diminished as a result of the recent decline in the market value of the
Company's Common Stock. Therefore, the Board has authorized an offer to you to
modify your existing option(s) under that Plan to reduce the exercise price to
$1.594 per share and provide a new ten-year term which extends until April 6,
2009, but with a new vesting schedule which is similar to that which would
pertain if a brand new option was granted to you today, that is, the option(s)
would vest in five equal annual installments commencing April 7, 2000. The
option(s) would otherwise continue to be governed under your existing option
contract(s) and the provisions of the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, as
amended. A copy of the 1995 Stock Option Plan is enclosed herewith, as is a copy
