          GENERAL MICROWAVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           May 31, 1997

                           (Unaudited)



NOTE 1: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General
        Microwave Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiaries, General Microwave
        Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC), Micro-El Patent Corporation and Math
        Associates, Inc. (Math), its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, General
        Microwave Israel Corporation (GMIC) and General Microwave Israel (1987)
        Ltd. (GMIL), and its majority-owned subsidiary General Microcircuits
        Corporation (GMCC).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have
        been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2: The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments
        (which include only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
        opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results
        for the interim period.  The interim figures are not necessarily
        indicative of the results for the year.

NOTE 3: Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution on February 25, 1997, the
        Company adopted a plan to discontinue its Math Associates electronic
        fiber-optic systems and components business.  The plan anticipates that
        the liquidation of Math will be completed by no later than February 28,
        1998.  At February 28, 1997, the provision for loss on disposal was
        recorded in the consolidated financial statements principally relating
        to the anticipated disposal of inventory and other assets, estimated
        losses during the phase-out period and estimated costs of liquidation.
        The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
        reclassified to reflect the effects of the Company's decision to
        account for the disposal of its Math operations as discontinued
        operations.  Accordingly, the net sales, costs and expenses, assets
        and liabilities, and cash flows associated with Math have been excluded
        from the respective captions in the accompanying consolidated balance
        sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.

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


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the Quarter Ended May 31, 1997 compared with the Quarter Ended June 1,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996.
- -----

In the first quarter of fiscal 1998 the Company had net earnings from
continuing operations of  $167,787 or $.14 per share, with no net loss nor
earnings from discontinued operations.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the
Company had net earnings of $50,474 or $.04 per share from continuing
operations and net earnings after discontinued operations of $55,494 or $.05
per share.  Sales from continuing operations of $4,987,128 increased by
$699,056 (16.3%) from the comparable quarter last year.  Sales increased in all
of the Company's operations and the improvement in earnings was principally in
the Company's Israeli operations.

In February 1997, the Company decided to concentrate on its core businesses and
adopted a plan to exit the fiber optics business of its Math Associates
subsidiary.  (See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Accordingly,
unless otherwise indicated, all of the information herein has been reclassified
to present the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the
discontinued fiber-optics business as a discontinued operation.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased slightly during the current
quarter to 64.6% from 63.8% during the comparable quarter of last year.  
General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the
current fiscal quarter, to 16.3% from 17.0% in the comparable quarter of last 
year.  Research and development costs decreased due to the Company's increased
utilization of its engineering resources for current production efforts.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, sales orders booked were $4.6 million
and the closing backlog was $16.6 million compared with $5.3 million and $11.9
million respectively for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The closing backlog
of $16.6 million at May 31, 1997 compares closely to the $16.9 million at the
fiscal year-end February 28, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
May 31, 1997 compared with February 28, 1997
- --------------------------------------------

At May 31, 1997, the Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities
was 2.5 to 1 compared to 2.2 at February 28, 1997.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, cash flows provided by continuing
operations amounted to approximately $499,000 as compared to approximately 
$1,212,000 during the comparable period last year.  The lower comparable amount
of cash flows relates primarily to the payment from one customer of significant
accounts receivable which were received in June 1997.  Cash flows were used to

                                 Page 10
<PAGE>




purchase capital equipment for $98,000.  In addition, cash flows used in
financing activities of $378,000 were primarily related to repayments of
short-term debt of the Israeli subsidiaries through cash flows generated by
such subsidiaries.  Accounts receivable declined $345,000 due to reduced first
quarter 1998 sales as compared to a high level of fourth quarter fiscal 1997
sales.  The resulting receivables were substantially collected in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998.  Inventories decreased by approximately $155,000
because of reductions of work in process and finished goods as well as
increases in customer advances, partially offset by raw material increases.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased primarily due to normal
timing cycles.  The Company expects to spend up to $450,000 during the
remainder of the year for capital equipment.

The agreements relating to the Company's 7-Day Demand Industrial Development
Revenue Bonds contain several restrictive covenants.  The Company must, among
other things, maintain profitable operations, a minimum ratio of current assets
to current liabilities, a minimum level of tangible net worth, as defined, and
must not exceed a specified debt to equity ratio.  In addition, commencing
April 1, 1996, the Company is required to make monthly sinking fund payments
towards its annual $500,000 bond payment.  Such amount is reflected as
restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In December
1995, the Company and two of its subsidiaries, Math and GMCC, guaranteed and
granted a security interest in their accounts receivable to the bondholders and
the letter of credit issuer as additional security for the Company's bond
related debt.  The total of such accounts receivable is $4,040,722 at May 31,
1997.  As a result of the impact on the financial statements as of and for the
year ended February 28, 1997, due to the discontinued Math operations, the
Company required and received a waiver dated May 20, 1997 of three covenants.
The waiver also modified the tangible net worth covenant, as defined, to
approximately the February 28, 1997 level, subject to increases dependent upon
future operations.  The tangible net worth covenant limits the ability of the
Company to pay cash dividends.  As a result of such covenant as amended, there
is approximately $280,000 of unrestricted funds available for the payment of
cash dividends as of May 31, 1997.  Because management anticipates compliance
with the covenants now in effect, the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds debt
is classified as long-term debt.

The Company believes that its present resources, including available credit,
are sufficient to meet its needs for the foreseeable future.
