Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)


Note 1  Basis of Presentation

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. In addition, the
financial information does not include all disclosures required under generally
accepted accounting principles because certain note information included in the
Company's annual report to shareholders has been omitted and such information
should be read in conjunction with the prior year's annual report. However, the
financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The Company considers the
disclosures adequate to make the information presented not misleading.


Note 2  Short-Term Investments

The Company's short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity. These
investments consist primarily of commercial paper and bonds with original
maturities of more than 90 days. Such short-term investments are carried at
amortized cost, which approximates fair value, due to the short period of time
to maturity. Gains and losses are included in investment income in the period
they are realized.


Note 3  Inventories

                                                       December 27,    March 29,

Note 6  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to suits and claims arising in the normal course of
business. Management believes these are adequately provided for or will result
in no significant additional liability to the Company.


Note 7  Subsequent Event

On January 28, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock
split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The stock split
will be payable on February 18, 1999 to shareholders of record as of February 8,
1999. Shareholders will receive one additional share of the Company's common
stock for every two shares held on the record date. The Company will pay cash in
lieu of fractional shares. The data for the third quarters ended December 27,
1998 and December 28, 1997, respectively, if restated to reflect the stock
split, are basic net income per share of $0.30 and $0.20; diluted net income per
share of $0.29 and $0.20; basic weighted average shares of 15.8 million and 15.4
million and diluted weighted average shares of 16.4 million and 16.0 million.
The data for the nine months ended December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997,
respectively, if restated to reflect the stock split, are basic net income per
share of $0.82 and $0.43; diluted net income per share of $0.80 and $0.42; basic
weighted average shares of 15.8 million and 15.2 million and diluted weighted
average shares of 16.2 million and 15.6 million.

PART I - ITEM 2

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operations

Results of Operations

Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 totaled $92.1 million compared
with sales of $85.0 million for the same period last year. Sales for the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 totaled $32.5 million compared with $30.8 million for the
comparable period last year. New orders received for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 were $90.1 million, compared with $88.9 million for the same period
last year. The increase in sales and orders continues to be the result of higher
sales volumes due to increased demand for wireless products. The sales growth
for the third quarter was fueled by shipments of new digital handsets. During
the third quarter, the Company also received orders for two new product areas--
a wireless personal digital assistant and an upcoming home wireless networking 
system. The Company's Wireless Semiconductor sector had sales of $46.3 million
while the Application Specific Products (ASP) sector had sales of $27.5 million
and the Ceramic Products sector had sales of $18.3 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999. For the third quarter of fiscal 1999, these groups
reported sales of $17.9 million for the Wireless Semiconductor sector, $7.7
million for the ASP sector and $6.9 million for the Ceramic Products sector.
Deliveries to one customer represented approximately 27% of the Company's total
sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared with 24% for the
comparable period last year.

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 totaled $40.0 million or
43.5% of sales compared with $31.3 million or 36.9% of sales for the comparable
period last year. Gross profit for the third quarter was $14.3 million or 44.1%
of sales compared with $11.8 million or 38.4% of sales for the same period last
year. Gross margins continue to increase quarter over quarter primarily as a
result of improved operating efficiencies in all three business sectors,
particularly in the Wireless Semiconductor sector which continued to leverage
capacity, improve yields and reduce material costs. The Wireless Semiconductor
sector reported gross margins of 42.8% while ASP reported gross margins of 51.9%
and the Ceramic Products sector reported gross margins of 32.7% for the first
nine months of fiscal 1999. Gross margins for the third quarter of fiscal 1999
were 45.1% for the Wireless Semiconductor sector, 49.2% for the ASP sector and
36.0% for the Ceramic Products sector.

Research and development expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 were
$9.3 million or 10% of sales compared with $7.3 million or 9% of sales for the
same period last year. For the third quarter of fiscal 1999, research and
development expenses increased 34% to $3.4 million as compared with the same
quarter last year. The increased research and development is due mainly to the
development of processes and applications in the Wireless Semiconductor Products
group. These high volume products are targeted at the rapidly-growing wireless
markets with over 75% of the Company's total research and development
expenditures supporting this dynamic sector. The Company is strongly committed
to continuing its investment in the GaAs IC and high volume wireless products to
better serve its targeted markets, particularly as it continues to introduce new
products that its key customers need.

Selling and administrative expenses totaled $16.7 million or 18.2% of sales for
the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared with $16.5 million or 19.4% of
sales for the same period last year. For the third quarter ended December 27,
1998, selling and administrative expenses increased slightly to $5.8 million or
17.9% of sales, as compared to $5.7 million or 18.5% of sales for the comparable
quarter last year. The year-to-date and third quarter increases in selling and
administrative expenses relate primarily to selling and marketing activities
consisting mainly of increased sales commissions related to higher sales
volumes. Overall, selling and administrative expenses for the nine months and
third quarter of fiscal 1999 declined as a percentage of sales compared with the
comparable periods last year due to continued efforts to control administrative 
costs.

Interest expense for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 1999
decreased $166 thousand and $65 thousand respectively over the comparable
periods last year due to a decline in borrowings. Interest income for the first
nine months and quarter ended December 27, 1998 increased $509 thousand and $192
thousand, respectively, over the comparable periods last year since cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments increased $6.9 million primarily from
cash generated from operations.

<PAGE>
 
The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 was
10%. This rate differed from statutory rates primarily as a result of the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. At December 27, 1998, the
Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12
million which expire commencing in 2004.

For the first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company reported net income of
$13.0 million or $1.20 per share diluted compared with net income of $6.6
million or $0.63 per share diluted for the comparable period last year. For the
third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company reported net income of $4.8 million or
$0.44 per share diluted compared with net income of $3.2 million or $0.30 per
share diluted for the same period last year. These results represent 96% and 51%
increases in net income for the first nine months and the third quarter of
fiscal 1999, respectively, over the same periods last year.

Financial Condition

At December 27, 1998, working capital totaled $33.6 million and included $22.8
million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, compared with
$26.1 million of working capital at the end of fiscal 1998. Operations generated
$18.8 million of cash principally from net income and depreciation. Uses of cash
included $11.1 million for capital expenditures and $1.4 million for the
repayment of long-term debt. The Company continued its investment in capital
expenditures particularly for the semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer
fab operation and the IC and discrete semiconductor assembly and test areas, as
well as for improved manufacturing capabilities at the ceramics manufacturing
facility. The Company remains strongly committed to adding the required capacity
needed to service the wireless markets as demand continues to grow. During the
first nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company incurred capital expenditures of
$11.1 million of which $8.9 million related to the Wireless Semiconductor
Products sector. These expenditures primarily related to the expansion of the
GaAs fab which is expected to cost $18 million in total and be completed during
the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This expansion is expected to significantly
increase capacity.

The Company expects to generate sufficient cash from operations to fund the
necessary projected levels of growth. With cash, cash equivalents, and short-
term investments of $22.8 million, a $7.5 million line of credit and a $7.5
million equipment line of credit currently available, the Company believes it
has adequate funds to support its current operating needs.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" and No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information", which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. The Company has complied with SFAS No. 130 and determined there was no
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the Company is
currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 131.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivatives and hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

The AICPA issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" during fiscal 1998.
SOP 98-1 requires that companies capitalize certain internal-use software costs
upon meeting certain criteria. This SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1998.

The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No.133 and SOP 98-1 and has not yet
determined their impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue relates to the inability of certain computer software
programs to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information relative
to the Year 2000 and beyond. To address this issue, the Company has initiated a
company-wide Year 2000 project under the direction of senior management.

The Company has evaluated its products and has determined that its current and
past products are not date-sensitive. The Company does not expect Year 2000
exposure for products sold.

The Company has completed a comprehensive inventory of its internal information
systems. Over the last several years, the Company has invested in new computer
hardware and software to improve its business operations. All such systems were
required to be Year 2000 compliant as a condition of purchase. The Company has
developed a plan for testing critical information systems to ensure compliance.
This testing is expected to be completed by April 1999.

The Company has also completed a comprehensive inventory of its equipment and
facilities. The Company has developed a plan for testing critical items to
ensure that they are compliant. Testing is expected to be completed by 
April 1999.

Upon completion of the testing of systems, facilities, and equipment, the
Company will formulate contingency plans to handle the most reasonably likely
worst-case scenarios.

The Company has begun formal communication with significant suppliers,
customers, financial institutions, and other third parties with which the
Company has a material relationship in order to determine whether those entities
have adequate plans in place to ensure their Year 2000 preparedness. The Company
has not yet completed its assessment of its exposure to risks relating to the
Year 2000 issues of those entities with which it has a material relationship.
This assessment and the development of a plan for testing critical items will be
completed by April 1999. Upon completion of this assessment, the Company will
formulate contingency plans to handle the most reasonably likely worst-case
scenarios.

Although the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address its
Year 2000 compliance concerns, there can be no assurances that the Company will
not experience unanticipated negative consequences or material costs caused by
undetected errors or defects in the technology used in its internal systems or
that third parties upon which the Company relies will be compliant in a timely
manner and will not have any material effect on the Company.

Other Matters

Safe Harbor Statement - Except for the historical information contained herein,
this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are inherently subject
to risks and uncertainties. The Company's results could differ materially based
on various factors, including without limitation: cancellation or deferral of
customer orders, difficulties in the timely development and market acceptance of
new products, market developments that vary from the current public expectations
concerning the growth of wireless communications, difficulties in manufacturing
new or existing products in sufficient quantity or quality, increased
competitive pressures, decreasing selling prices for the Company's products, or
changes in economic conditions. Further information on factors that could affect
the Company's financial results is included in the Company's periodic reports
filed with the S.E.C., including the most recent Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended March 29, 1998 and any subsequent Form 10-Qs.

                                    PART I

Item 3   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a short-term
investment and a financial instrument caused by fluctuations in investment
prices and interest rates.

The Company handles market risks in accordance with established policies. The
Company's risk-management activities include "forward-looking statements" that
involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Investment Price Risk
The fair value of the Company's short-term investment portfolio at December 27,
1998, approximated carrying value due to its short-term duration. Market risk,
estimated as the potential decrease in fair value resulting from a hypothetical
10% decrease in interest rates for the issues contained in the investment
portfolio, is considered not to be material because of the short-term nature of
the investments.

Interest Rate Risk
The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt, including current
maturities, was $2.1 million at December 27, 1998. Due to the nature of the debt
instruments, management has determined that the fair value was not materially
different from the quarter-end carrying value.


                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1  Legal Proceedings

The Company does not have any material pending legal proceedings other than
routine litigation incidental to its business.

The Company has been notified by federal and state environmental agencies of its
potential liability with respect to the Spectron, Inc. Superfund site in Elkton,
Maryland. Several hundred other companies have also been notified about their
potential liability regarding this site. The Company continues to deny that it
has any responsibility with respect to this site other than as a de minimis
party. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of the aforementioned
environmental matter will not have a material effect on the Company's operations
or financial position.

Re:   Severance Agreement

Dear J.P.:

This letter is to confirm the severance arrangements that we have offered to you
as a Vice President of Alpha Industries, Inc. ("Alpha").

1.  If: (i) a Change in Control occurs while you are employed by Alpha, and (ii)
your employment with Alpha is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated within two
(2) years thereafter, then: (a) Alpha will pay you two (2) years of salary
continuation (and any bonus guaranteed or earned prior to the date of
termination) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this letter, and (b)
all Alpha stock options then outstanding and held by you, whether or not by
their terms then exercisable, will, subject to their other terms and conditions,
become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for a period of ninety
(90) days after the date of employment termination.

2.  A "Change in Control" will be deemed to have occurred if the Continuing
Directors of Alpha shall have ceased for any reason to constitute a majority of
the Board of Directors of Alpha. For this purpose, a "Continuing Director" will
include any member of the Board of Directors of Alpha as of the date of this
letter and any person nominated for election to the Board of Directors of Alpha
by a majority of the then Continuing Directors.

3.  If, at any time, (i) your employment with Alpha is involuntarily terminated
without Cause, or (ii) you resign voluntarily within 30 days after a reduction
in your salary or benefits (other than a reduction applicable generally to the
officers of Alpha and other than a reduction in the number of stock options
granted to you in any year), then: (a) Alpha will pay you two (2) years of
salary continuation (at the rate in effect before any salary reduction), and any
bonus guaranteed or earned prior to the date of termination, in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this letter, and (b) all Alpha stock options then
outstanding and held by you, whether or not by their terms then exercisable,
will, subject to their other terms and conditions, become immediately
exercisable and remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days after the
date of employment termination.

4.  "Cause" will mean: (a) deliberate dishonesty detrimental to the best
interests of Alpha or any subsidiary, or (b) conduct constituting moral
turpitude, or (c) willful disloyalty to Alpha, or (d) refusal or failure to obey
the directions of the CEO of Alpha, or (e) incompetent performance or
substantial or continuing inattention to or neglect of duties and
responsibilities assigned to you.
<PAGE>
 
5.  Salary continuation payments under this letter will: (a) be made at the same
rate as you were receiving on the date of employment termination; (b) be paid in
equal periodic installments at such intervals as Alpha shall generally pay its
officers, and (c) be reduced by the amount of any compensation that you receive
from any person for services rendered during the salary continuation period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not receive any salary continuation
payments for any period in which you fail to actively seek gainful employment.

6.  During the term of your employment with Alpha and for the first twelve (12)
months after the date on which your employment with Alpha is voluntarily or
involuntarily terminated (the "Noncompete Period"), you will not, directly or
indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, consultant, agent,
employee, or otherwise, or through any person, engage in any employment,
consulting or other activity which competes with the business of Alpha or any
subsidiary or affiliate of Alpha (collectively, the "Company"). You acknowledge
and agree that your direct or indirect participation in the conduct of such
competing business alone or with any person will materially impair the business
and prospects of Alpha. During the Noncompete Period, you will not (i) attempt
to hire any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, (ii) assist in
such hiring by any other person, (iii) encourage any person to terminate his or
her employment or business relationship with the Company, (iv) encourage any
customer or supplier of the Company to terminate its relationship with the
Company, or (v) obtain, or assist in obtaining, for your own benefit (other than
indirectly as an employee of the Company) any customer of the Company. If any of
the restrictions provided for in this Section 6 are adjudicated to be
excessively broad as to scope, geographic area, time or otherwise, said
restriction shall be reduced to the extent necessary to make the restriction
reasonable and shall be binding on you as so reduced. Any provisions of this
Section 6 not so reduced shall remain in full force and effect. It is understood
that during the Noncompete Period, you will make yourself available to the
Company for consultation on behalf of the Company, upon reasonable request and
at a reasonable rate of compensation and at reasonable times in light of any
commitment you may have to a new employer. You understand and acknowledge that
the Company's remedies at law for breach of any of the restrictions in this
Section are inadequate and that any such breach will cause irreparable harm to
the Company. You therefore agree that in addition and as a supplement to such
other rights and remedies as may exist in the Company's favor, the Company may
apply to any court having jurisdiction to enforce the specific performance of
the restrictions in this Section, and may apply for injunctive relief against
any act which would violate those restrictions.

Please sign both copies of this letter and return one to me. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call me or Jim Nemiah.

Sincerely,                               |       AGREED TO:
                                         |
