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   ACQUISITION OF NETWORK DEVICE, INC.

On April 24, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of privately-held
Network Device, Inc. ("NDI") of Sunnyvale, California. Approximately 2.67
million shares of common stock were exchanged for all outstanding shares of NDI.
Approximately 185,000 shares of Company stock were issued for the conversion of
NDI stock options into Company options.

The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and
accordingly, the prior period consolidated financial statements and related
notes included herein have been restated to include the combined results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of NDI.

Prior to the merger, NDI's fiscal year ended on September 30. In recording the
business combination. NDI's prior period financial statements have been
restated to conform with the Company's year end.

The following information presents certain income statement data of the
separate companies for the prior period reflected:

</TABLE>

SALES. Sales increased 69.9% to $65.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2001 from $38.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. New orders
increased 72.0% to $72.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2001,
compared with $42.0 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales
and orders was primarily attributable to high growth experienced by our Wireless
Semiconductor and Ceramic Products Groups as a result of increased demand for
wireless products and broadband data applications. Deliveries to two customers
represented approximately 32% and 14%, respectively, of our total sales for the
first three months of fiscal 2001. Deliveries to one customer represented
approximately 32% of our total sales for the first three months of fiscal 2000.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 73.8% to $29.5 million or 45.0% of sales
for the first three months of fiscal 2001 from $17.0 million or 44.0% of sales
for the comparable period last year. This increase was primarily a result of
increasingly higher margins experienced in our Ceramic Products and Application
Specific Products Groups as they both continued to leverage capacity and improve
operating efficiencies. We were also able to successfully absorb NDI operations
and ramp production in our Woburn facility, while maintaining gross margin in
our Wireless Semiconductor Products Group.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses increased
45.8% to $7.9 million or 12.0% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001
from $5.4 million or 14.0% of sales for the comparable period last year. The
increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to the
added costs associated with NDI's development capabilities, in addition to our
ongoing development activities directed toward new processes and applications in
our Wireless Semiconductor Products Group. Approximately 85% of total research
and development costs were focused on this segment.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses totaled
$11.7 million or 17.8% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Included
in the $11.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was approximately $1.8
million in one-time closing costs associated with the acquisition of NDI, which
was completed on April 24, 2000. Excluding these one-time costs, selling and
administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 totaled $9.9
million or 15.1% of sales compared with $6.7 million or 17.4% of sales for the

                                         ALPHA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

same period last year. The increase in selling and administrative expenses
was attributable to increased direct selling costs resulting from higher sales
volumes, as well as increased training and recruiting costs. Because we have the
infrastructure in place to support our sales growth, selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 declined
when compared to the same period last year.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Other income, net, for the first quarter ended July
2, 2000 increased $1.6 million or 517% over the comparable period last year. The
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income as a
result of considerably higher average levels of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Our effective tax rates for the first three months
of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 34% and 36%, respectively.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE OUTSTANDING SHARES. Weighted average outstanding shares (basic)
increased 6.1 million shares for the first quarter ended July 2, 2000 over the
comparable period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the
public stock offering completed in June 1999, which increased our outstanding
shares by approximately 6.6 million. The weighting of those shares is fully
reflected in the weighted average calculation for the three months ended July 2,
2000 compared to only one-month inclusion in the weighted average calculation
for the three months ended June 27, 1999. Additionally, weighted average
outstanding shares for both periods have been restated to reflect the
approximate 2.8 million shares issued in exchange for all outstanding shares and
options of NDI.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The table below displays sales and operating income by business segment for the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000. All data represented in the table has
been restated to reflect the Company's acquisition of Network Device, Inc. on
April 24, 2000:

WIRELESS SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS. The Wireless Semiconductor Products Group's
results for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and the comparable quarter last
year have been restated to include the operating results of NDI for the same
periods. Sales for the Wireless Semiconductor Products Group increased 85.1% to
$44.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $24.0 million for the
same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased
demand and penetration into our two targeted markets- wireless and broadband.

Operating income for the Wireless Semiconductor Group more than doubled to $6.8
million for the first three months of fiscal 2001 from $2.3 million for the
comparable quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to
increased sales and improved operating efficiencies as this group continued to
leverage capacity and improve yields. In addition, NDI has been fully integrated
into this segment, contributing productive GaAs fab capacity and technology
capabilities in support of future growth.

CERAMIC PRODUCTS. Sales for the Ceramic Products Group increased 58.7% to $12.7
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $8.0 million for the same
quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in demand
and increased penetration in the wireless infrastructure and broadband markets.

Operating income for the Ceramic Products Group more than doubled to $2.1
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $898 thousand for the same
quarter last year. The increase in operating income was primarily due to
improved operating efficiencies, including the leveraging of capacity and
increased manufacturing automation.

APPLICATION SPECIFIC PRODUCTS. Sales for the Application Specific Products Group
increased 28.3% to $8.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $6.6
million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable
to this segment's ability to generate revenues by harvesting end of life cycle
products and specialty products in non-strategic markets.

Operating income for the Application Specific Products Group increased 70.7% to
$2.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from $1.7 million for the same
quarter last year. The group continued to realign its cost structure to current
volumes, reporting a gross margin of over 55% and an operating margin of 34.1%
for the first quarter of fiscal 2001.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

At July 2, 2000, working capital totaled $182.9 million and included $136.2
million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Annualized
inventory turns for the first quarter ended July 2, 2000 increased to 11.1
compared to 9.2 for the same period last year. Additionally, average days sales
outstanding for the first quarter ended July 2, 2000 decreased to 54 days
compared to 56 days for the same period last year. Uses of cash for the quarter
ended July 2, 2000 included $9.7 million for capital expenditures and
$3.0 million for the repayment of NDI's long-term debt.

Of the $9.7 million in capital expenditures, approximately $8.3 million was
related to the Wireless Semiconductor Products Group as we continued our
investment in the semiconductor GaAs wafer fabrication operation and integrated
circuit and discrete semiconductor assembly and test areas. In September 1999,
we announced the completion of the first phase of a major expansion program to
enhance and expand the available clean room space in our GaAs IC facility in
Massachusetts. The new clean room space is complete and in use, and additional
manufacturing equipment has been installed and brought to full productivity. The
second phase, which involved the installation of additional production equipment
within the existing facility, has been completed. We are in the initial stages
of the third phase of this project, which involves the conversion of our
Massachusetts GaAs IC facility to allow us to manufacture product on six inch
wafers. We expect to complete this phase within twelve to fifteen months.

We believe that anticipated cash from operations, available funds and borrowings
under our revolving credit agreement, together with the net proceeds from our
June 1999 stock offering, will be adequate to fund our currently planned working
capital and capital expenditure requirements, at least through fiscal 2001.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivatives and hedging activities. In June 2000, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," and amendment
to SFAS No. 133. These statements require that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. These statements will be effective
for our fiscal 2002. We are currently evaluating SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 138.
We do not expect these new statements to have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

                                     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 July 2, 2000,
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 $396 thousand at July 2, 2000. 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.
