                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    1. The financial information presented as of any date other than March
 31,has been prepared from the books and records of the Company without
 audit. Financial information as of March 31 has been derived from the
 audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all
 disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  In
 the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
 condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only
 of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly EMCEE
 Broadcast Products, Inc.  and Subsidiaries' financial position, and the
 results of their operations and changes in cash flow for the periods
 presented.
    2. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods
 ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
 results to be expected for the full year.
    3. At September 30, 1998, cash equivalents included $1,328,934 invested
 in a    money market portfolio.
    4. INVENTORIES consisted of the following:
                                    Sept. 30,1998     March 31, 1998
                                      (UNAUDITED)
 FINISHED GOODS                          $275,000        $454,000
 WORK-IN-PROCESS                          675,000         777,000
 RAW MATERIALS                          1,584,000       1,323,000
 MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS                1,174,094         884,599
                                       ----------------------------
                                        $3,708,094     $3,438,599
                                       ============================
 
       Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which
 approximates    current actual cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or
 market (net realizable value).
    5. EARNINGS PER SHARE.  Basic income per share is computed by dividing   
 earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number   
 of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per share is similar to   
 basic income per share except that the weighted average of common shares   
 outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares  
 that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares   
 had been issued.  There were no dilutive potential common shares in the   
 period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 because the assumed exercise of   
 the options would be anti-dilutive.
         EMCEE BROADCAST PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                   OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION 
 Demand for the Company's product remains low in the Multichannel Multipoint
 Distribution Services (MMDS) segment of the television transmitter industry
 as domestic operators continue to  hold off purchases until additional
 funding is available and new technology is accepted.
                                  
 Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 totaled $2,166,000 or 4%
 less than the quarter ended September 30, 1997.  Net sales for the first six
 months ended September 30, 1998 totaled $4,365,000 a 7% increase over the
 same period one year ago.
 Foreign shipments accounted for $1,149,000 or 53% of total shipments for
 the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and $2,022,000 or 46% of total
<PAGE>
 shipments for the first six months of fiscal 1999.  The latter was somewhat
 of an anomaly as the highest single customer for the first two quarters
 ended September 30, 1998, with approximately 14% of total sales, was a
 military related contractor in the low power sector of the industry.
 Notwithstanding the economics and currency problems now being experienced
 in the foreign market, management believes that foreign sales will dominate
 for the next six months.
 Gross profit of $713,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was
 $105,000 less than the quarter ended September 30, 1997 however, gross
 profit for the six months ended September 30, 1998 of $1,369,000 was
 $52,000 more than the like period one year ago.  Both changes in the
 comparisons are directly related to the sales volumes for the respective
 periods.
 Total operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 totaled
 $703,000 and increased the year to date total to $1,389,000.  The total for
 the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1998 are 5% and 9% less than
 the corresponding periods one year ago.
 Selling expense of $299,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was
 22% less than the amount of $383,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
 1997 primarily due to salary and salary related reductions, reduction in
 travel expenses and reduced outlays for trade shows as the Company
 continues its cost reduction program initiated last year.
 General and administrative expenses totaled $297,000 for the quarter ended
 September 30, 1998 and $560,000 for the six months ended September 30,
 1998.  The amount for the quarter was 6% over the amount of the
 corresponding quarter one year ago, however, the year to date ending
 September 30, 1998 was slightly less than the amount of $562,000 for the
 six months ended September 30, 1997.  Increases for general and
 administrative expenses for the quarter occurred in salaries, computer
 supplies, maintenance and costs related to possible new ventures.  For the
 six months ended September 30, 1998 costs compared to the year earlier
 increased in computer related expenses, an increase in bad debt reserve and
 depreciation while offsetting decreases occurred in legal and collection
 expense and Board of Director's expense (an additional Board meeting was
 held in the prior quarter.)
 An exception to the costs reduction program is the Research and Development
 segment of total operating expenses in which expenses totaled $107,000 for
 the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $78,000 for the quarter
 ended one year earlier and expense totaled $207,000 for the first half of
 fiscal 1999 compared to $189,000 for the same period one year earlier.  The
 Company is expanding development for high speed Internet service, local
 loop telephony and high definition television (HDTV) protocol while
 continuing on-going programs in analog and digital applications.  The
 Company also received a payment in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 of
 $10,000 for non-recurring engineering (NRE) charged to a customer and
 credited to R&D expenses.
 Income from operations totaled $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
 1998 compared to income from operations of $78,000 for the second quarter
 one year ago.  This income reduced the first quarter loss from operations
 to a loss of $20,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998, a vast
 improvement over the loss from operations of $207,000 experienced the first
 six months ended September 30, 1997.  
 Interest expense totaled $24,000 for the quarter and $42,000 for the six
 months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $22,000 and $44,000 for the
 quarter and six months respectively, ended September 30, 1997.  The
 differences are due to timing of structured payments and are not
 significant.
<PAGE>
 Interest income of $66,000 for the second quarter and $128,000 for the
 first two quarters ended September 30, 1998 compared to $70,000 and
 $124,000 for the same two periods one year ago.  The differences are due to
 availability of cash and interest rates.  The majority of interest is
 received from U.S. Treasury Bills and money market funds.
 Other income (expense) for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was an
 expense of $2,000 compared to income of $9,000 for the quarter ended
 September 30, 1997; the latter included a fee for a canceled order.  Other
 income totaled $6,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998 compared
 to $12,000 for the same period in the previous year.  For the six months
 ended September 30, 1997, the Company realized a gain on the sale of an
 investment in a wireless cable operator of $277,000 shown as a separate
 line item.
 Net income after estimated Federal tax liability of $10,500 for the quarter
 and $16,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998 ($1,000 and $7,400
 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1997), was $40,000 for the
 quarter and $56,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998, ($134,000
 and $154,000 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1997).  Federal
 tax liability for all periods under discussion are less than the "expected
 percent" due to additional tax credits, including amounts from a Foreign
 Sales Corporation (FSC) formed in April 1995.  There are no state tax
 liabilities for these periods since all profitable companies in this
 consolidated group are domiciled in states which do not impose income
 taxes.
 Net income for the quarter and first two quarters ended September 30, 1998
 equals one cent per share compared to three cents per share for the quarter
 and four cents for the first two quarters ended September 30, 1997.
 Cash and cash equivalents (primarily money market funds) decreased by
 $1,193,000 as of September 30, 1998 compared to March 31, 1998.  These
 funds were used primarily to increase inventories from $3,439,000 at March
 31, 1998 to $3,708,000 as of September 30, 1998; to pay anticipated taxes
 of $160,000; to reduce accounts payable $195,000 and decreased accrued
 expenses from $334,000 as of March 31, 1998 to $261,000 as of September 30,
 1998.
 Accounts receivable increased from $1,215,000 as of March 31, 1998 to
 $1,328,000 as of September 30, 1998 due primarily to the increase in sales
 volume during the second quarter of the current fiscal year.  Allowance for
 doubtful accounts was increased from $35,000 as of March 31, 1998 to
 $60,000 as of September 30, 1998.
 Deposits from customers decreased from $260,000 as of March 31, 1998 to
 $111,000 as of September 30, 1998 as payments were applied and additional
 orders were delayed (see discussion on backlog below).
 Prepaid expense increased $105,000 during the period from March 31, 1998 to
 September 30, 1998 due primarily to the aforementioned payment for federal
 income taxes, offset somewhat by expensed prepaid insurance.
 During the six months ended September 30, 1998, the Registrant acquired
 $90,000 of property, plant and equipment.  Depreciation expense for the
 same period totaled $145,000 resulting in a net decrease of fixed assets of
 $55,000.
 Long-term debt, including the current portion decreased $48,000 during the
 period March 31, 1998 to September 30, 1998 as structured payments were
 made.  There were no new borrowings during this period and the $2,000,000
 available line of credit was not utilized.  
 The Registrant believes its existing working capital, coupled with cash
 flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund anticipated working
 capital and debt payment requirements for fiscal 1999.
 Other assets as of March 31, 1998 consisted primarily of an investment in a
 new venture
 involved with a high-speed Internet operation.  This investment amount was
 <PAGE>
 reduced by approximately $35,000 during the period ended September 30,
 1998.  A note receivable from a principal of the entity of $100,000 plus
 interest is included in the balance as of September 30, 1998.
 Deferred taxes increased $39,000 from March 31, 1998 and accrued federal
 income taxes decreased $62,000 during the same period in recognition of
 timing differences between current and future tax liabilities.
 The Company, through a subsidiary, purchased 65,000 shares on the open
 market during the period.  This transaction is treated as a Treasury Stock
 purchase and increased the balance from $1,649,000 as of March 31, 1998 to
 $1,836,000 as of September 30, 1998.
 In addition to relatively low shipments for the six months ended September
 30, 1998, approximately $250,000 of orders have been canceled.  The backlog
 of unsold orders totaled $553,000 as of September 30, 1998 compared to
 $2,421,000 as of March 31, 1998 and $1,846,000 September 30, 1997. 
 Although management is optimistic for the future growth of the Company in
 the LPTV and MMDS markets, including digital and high speed Internet
 services, there is concern that during the remainder of fiscal 1999, the
 Company will continue to experience low shipments until additional funding
 is provided in these markets.  The Registrant continues to monitor the
 export market in regard to currency fluctuations in order to be competitive
 with domestic and foreign suppliers of MMDS equipment.  Management is
 confidant that there are adequate resources to sustain the Company,
 including additional development costs, until the demand for its products
 improves.
  
 The Company had a total of 65 employees as of September 30, 1998, the same
 as at the end of the prior quarter and one less than at March 31, 1998.
 The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs written using two
 digits rather than four to designate the applicable year.  The Registrant
 has a single source for its mainframe software programming.  It has
 received upgrades and has installed these upgrades that have been certified
 by the vendor to be year 2000 compliant.  Tests have been conducted on the
 existing network and personal computers and the Company believes that the
 Year 2000 issue will neither pose significant operational problems for its
 computer systems nor will it have a material impact on the results of
 operations of the Company.  While the Registrant is unaware of any Year
 2000 problems with any significant suppliers or customers, there can be no
 guarantee that the systems of other companies, if not compliant, will not
 have an adverse effect on the Registrant.  
 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
 1995
 Any statements contained in this report which are not historical facts are
 forward looking statements; and, therefore, many important factors could
 cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
 statements.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes
 (legislative, regulatory and otherwise) in the MMDS or LPTV industry,
 demand for the Company's products (both domestically and internationally),
 the development of competitive products, competitive pricing, the timing of
 foreign shipments, market acceptance of new product introductions
 (including, but not limited to, the Company's digital, high speed Internet,
 telephony and HDTV products), technological changes, economic conditions,
 litigation and other factors, risks and uncertainties identified in the
 Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 ITEM 1   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 In prior years an individual who was an officer, director and shareholder
 and the Company were named as defendants in various lawsuits instituted by
 certain shareholders based on incidents alleged to have occurred in the
 early-to-mid 1980's.  Of these lawsuits, all were either settled or were
<PAGE>
 dismissed with prejudice and the appeal periods have expired.
 On July 7, 1995, one of the prior litigants initiated another claim against
 the Company and another individual who is a shareholder seeking actual
 damages of $700,000.  In September 1995, the presiding judge in the Circuit
 Court of Cook County, Illinois ruled in favor of the Company to dismiss
 plaintiff's complaint with prejudice. It is unknown at this time whether an
 appeal will be taken.
    
 On January 16, 1997, the Registrant initiated a claim against a partnership
 and an individual seeking judgment in the principal amount of $2,100,000
 plus interest and attorneys fees.  On March 27, 1997, the parties agreed to
 a settlement of $2,500,000 to be paid (and which was paid) on April 3, 1997
 and an additional $500,000 to be paid to the Company upon the occurrence of
 certain events, including a sale or material change in ownership of the
 obligor.
