                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 -  Interim  financial  statements:  The  unaudited  interim  consolidated
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  consolidated   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  financial  position and results of operations  and cash flows for
the interim periods presented.  The consolidated  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  fiscal  year  ended  June 30,  2000.  Results  of
operations  for interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 - Fiscal year: The Company  reports on a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on
the last Friday in June,  with fiscal quarters ending on the last Friday of each
calendar quarter. The Company's fiscal year ending June 29, 2001 will contain 52
weeks.

Note 3 - Net earnings  (loss) per common  share:  Basic net earnings  (loss) per
common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period.  Diluted net earnings per common share is computed  using the
weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  adjusted  for  the  dilutive
incremental  shares  attributed to outstanding  stock options to purchase common
stock and preferred stock convertible into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

Incremental  common  stock  equivalent  shares of 1.9  million,  related to the
Series  C  Convertible   Redeemable  Preferred  Stock,  were  not  used  in  the
calculation  of diluted  net loss per common  share for the three  month  period
ended September 24, 1999 since their inclusion would have been antidilutive.  In
addition,  stock options and warrants to purchase 2.9 and 1.8 million  shares of
common stock for the three month periods ending September 29, 2000 and September
24, 1999, respectively,  were outstanding but not included in the computation of
diluted net earnings (loss) per common

                                       6

share because their option exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of the common shares during the periods  presented,  and  therefore,  the
effect of inclusion would be antidilutive.

Note 5 - Operations  re-alignment:  During fiscal 1999, the Company  initiated a
strategic operations re-alignment in an effort to enhance operating efficiencies
and reduce costs.  As a result,  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1999,  the
Company recorded a charge of $6.0 million.  This program included  outsourcing a
significant portion of the Company's production,  closing its Dominican Republic
facility,  divesting  its  injection  molding  and  metal  stamping  operations,
workforce  reductions and other cost-saving measures throughout the Company. The

Note 6 - Income Taxes: The Company's policy is to provide for income taxes based
on reported income, adjusted for differences that are not expected to ever enter
into the  computation  of taxes  under  applicable  tax laws.  The  Company  has
exemptions  until  January  2009 for Puerto  Rico  income  tax and  Puerto  Rico
property  tax  purposes.  The level of exemption  is 90% for all  purposes.  The
Company also has net operating loss carryforwards  available through fiscal 2006
to offset any remaining Puerto Rico taxable income.  There are no limitations on
the Company's ability to utilize such net operating loss carryforwards to reduce
its Puerto Rico income tax.

In addition,  the  Company,  in its US  subsidiaries,  has net  operating  loss
carryforwards which expire  periodically  through 2020, and general business tax
credit   carryforwards  which  expire  periodically   through  2012.   Temporary
differences  between income tax and financial  reporting  assets and liabilities
(primarily  inventory valuation  allowances,  property and equipment and accrued
employee  benefits) and net operating loss  carryforwards  give rise to deferred
tax assets  for which a full  (100%)  offsetting  valuation  allowance  has been
provided due to the uncertainty of realizing any benefit in the future.

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.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the fiscal 2001 first quarter were $10.5 million compared to $13.0
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, a reduction of approximately  $2.5
million or 19.0%. The decrease in sales was primarily due to reduced orders from
a  significant  customer as a result of  technical  problems  with its  product,
unrelated to TII's components,  and the initial transition of other customers to
the Company's new products has also impacted revenue levels.

Gross profit for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 was $2.4 million  compared to
$2.1  million  for the same prior year  period,  an  increase  of  approximately
$300,000 or 15.2%.  Gross  profit  margins for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001
were 22.7%  compared to 16.0% for the similar  prior year  period.  The improved
returns are principally due to the recently  completed  operations  re-alignment
and the  introduction  of advanced, higher  margin  versions  of certain  mature
products.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the first  quarter of fiscal
2001 were $1.6  million  compared to $1.9  million  for the  similar  prior year
period,  a decrease of approximately  $300,000 or 13.5%.  The decrease  resulted
primarily from  reductions in personnel and related  expenses as a result of the
operations re-alignment.

Research  and  development  expenses  for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 were
$715,000  compared to $813,000 for the similar prior year period,  a decrease of
approximately  $98,000  or 12.1%.  The  reduction  occurred  as the  Company  is
benefiting   from   collaborative   engineering   efforts   with  its   contract
manufacturers.

Interest  expense for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 was $28,000  compared to
$53,000 for the similar prior year period, a decrease of  approximately  $25,000
primarily due to decreased borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

Interest  income for the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 was  $50,000  compared to
$106,000 for the similar prior year period, a decrease of approximately  $56,000
due to lower average cash and cash equivalents balances.

Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $50,000 compared to a loss
of $587,000 for the similar prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalents  balance was $2.0 million at the end of
the first  quarter of fiscal 2001  compared to $4.4 million at the end of fiscal
2000, a reduction  of  approximately  $2.4  million.  Working  capital was $18.8
million compared to $19.1 million at fiscal year end.

<PAGE>

During  the first  quarter  of fiscal  2001,  $1.6  million  of cash was used in
operations,  primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $1.2 million
and a decrease in accounts  payable and  accrued  liabilities  of $1.6  million,
partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $444,000 and a reduction in
inventories  of  $530,000.   Investing  activities  used  $222,000  for  capital
expenditures  and  financing  activities  used  $620,000 due to $624,000 of debt
repayments,  partially  offset by $4,000  received  from the  exercise  of stock
options.

The  Company  has a credit  facility  in an  aggregate  amount  of $7.5  million
("Credit Facility"),  consisting of a $6.0 million revolving credit facility and
a $1.5 million term loan. The revolving  credit facility  enables 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 the eligible accounts receivable and
50% of the eligible inventory, subject to certain reserves. Subject to extension
in certain  instances,  the scheduled maturity date of revolving credit loans is
April 30,  2003,  while the term loan is to be repaid  through  March 31,  2003,
subject to mandatory repayments from disposition proceeds and insurance proceeds
in certain  circumstances.  As of  September 29 2000,  $855,000 was  outstanding
under the term loan and no  balance  was  outstanding  on the  revolving  credit
facility.

The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures, but expects to purchase
new equipment and incur leasehold improvements in the normal course of business,
subject to the maximum amounts permitted under its revolving credit facility.

Funds anticipated to be generated from operations,  together with available cash
and  borrowings  under the credit  facility,  are  considered  to be adequate to
finance the Company's operational and capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Forward-looking

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  may contain
forward-looking statements concerning,  among other things, the Company's future
plans and objectives that are or may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.
Such  forward-looking  statements  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,  general  economic  and  business   conditions,   including  the  regulatory
environment  applicable  to the  communications  industry;  weather  and similar
conditions  (including  the effects of  hurricanes  in the  Caribbean  where the
Company's principal gas tube manufacturing facilities are 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;
loss or  disruption  of sales to major  customers  as a result of,  among  other
things,  third party labor disputes and shipping  disruptions  from countries in
which the  Company's  contract  manufacturers  produce the  Company's  products;
Company's ability to market its existing,  recently  developed and new products;
risks  inherent  in new  product  introductions,  such as  start-up  delays  and
uncertainty of customer acceptance; dependence on third parties for its products
and  product   components;   the   Company's   ability  to  attract  and  retain
technologically qualified personnel; the Company's ability to fulfill its growth
strategies;  the availability of financing on satisfactory  terms to support the
Company's growth; and other factors discussed

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The  Company is  exposed  to market  risks,  including  changes  in U.S.  dollar
interest rates.  The interest  payable under the Company's  credit  agreement is
principally  between 250 and 275 basis points above the London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") and,  therefore,  affected by changes in market  interest  rates.
Historically,  the effects of movements in the market  interest  rates have been
immaterial to the consolidated operating results of the Company.

The  Company  requires  foreign  sales  to be paid  for in U.S.  currency,  and
generally  requires such payments to be made in advance, by letter of credit or
by U.S. affiliates of the customer.
