Herley Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)

1.   The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of Herley
     Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries,  all of which are wholly-owned.  All
     significant  intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     In the opinion of the  Company,  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
     statements  reflect all  adjustments  (which include only normal  recurring
     adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations and cash
     flows for the periods presented. These financial statements (except for the
     balance sheet  presented at August  3,1997) are unaudited and have not been
     reported on by independent public accountants.

     Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
     the results of operations for a full year due to external factors which are
     beyond the control of the Company.

2. Inventories at February 1, 1998 and August 3,1997 are summarized as follows:

                                             February 1, 1998   August 3,1997
                                             ----------------   -------------
      Purchased parts and raw materials       $  7,158,152      $ 4,780,336
      Work in process                            6,167,159        4,899,551
      Finished products                            501,852          110,495
                                              $ 13,827,163      $ 9,790,382

3.   In January 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with
     a bank that provides for the extension of credit in the aggregate principal
     amount  of  $11,000,000  and may be used for  general  corporate  purposes,
     including  business  acquisitions.  The  facility  requires  the payment of
     interest only on a monthly basis and payment of the  outstanding  principal
     balance on January 31,  1999.  Interest is set biweekly at 1% over the FOMC
     Target Rate applied to  outstanding  balances (none at February 1, 1998) up
     to 80% of the net equity value of available-for-sale securities, and at the
     bank's Base Rate (8.50% at  February 1, 1998) for  outstanding  balances in
     excess of this limit.  The premium rate  portion of the  facility  would be
     secured by any  available-for-sale  securities.  The credit  facility  also
     provides for the issuance of stand-by  letters of credit with a fee of 1.0%
     per annum of the amounts  outstanding  under the  facility.  At February 1,
     1998,  stand-by letters of credit aggregating  $3,307,669 were outstanding.
     The agreement contains various financial covenants,  including, among other
     matters, the maintenance of working capital and tangible net worth.

4.   On August 4, 1997,  the Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  Metraplex
     Corporation  , a Maryland  corporation  for 313,193  (adjusted  for 4-for-3
     stock  split)  shares of common  stock of the  Company,  with a fair market
     value of  $3,170,684,  in  exchange  for all of the issued and  outstanding
     common stock of  Metraplex.  Metraplex is a leading  manufacturer  of pulse
     code modulation and frequency  modulation,  telemetry and data  acquisition
     systems for severe  environment  applications.  Metraplex products are used
     worldwide for testing space launch vehicle instrumentation, aircraft flight
     testing,  and amphibian,  industrial and automotive  vehicle  testing.  The
     transaction has been accounted for by the purchase method. Accordingly, the
     consolidated balance sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Metraplex
     at February 1, 1998, and the consolidated  statements of operations include
     the results of Metraplex operations from August 4, 1997.

     On the basis of a pro forma  consolidation  of the results of operations as
     if the acquisition had taken place

     at the  beginning of fiscal 1997,  unaudited  consolidated  net sales,  net
     income,  and earnings per share for the  thirteen  and  twenty-seven  weeks
     ended February 2, 1997 would have been approximately $8,464,000,  $803,000,
     and  $0.16,   and   approximately   $17,245,000,   $1,698,000,   and  $0.34
     respectively. The pro forma information includes adjustments for additional
     depreciation  based on the fair market value of the  property,  plant,  and
     equipment  acquired,  and the amortization of intangibles  arising from the
     transaction.  The  pro  forma  financial  information  is  not  necessarily
     indicative  of the  results of  operations  as they would have been had the
     transaction been effected at the beginning of fiscal 1997.

5.   On September 4, 1997 the Board of Directors  declared a 4-for-3 stock split
     effected  as a stock  dividend  payable  September  29,  1997 to holders of
     record on September 15, 1997.  The effect of the split is presented  within
     shareholders'  equity at August 3, 1997.  The  distribution  increased  the
     number of shares  outstanding  from  3,157,024 to 4,209,365.  The amount of
     $105,234 was transferred from the additional  paid-in capital to the common
     stock  account to record this  distribution.  All share and per share data,
     including  stock options and warrants,  included in this annual report have
     been restated to reflect the stock split.

6.   On December 16, 1997 the Company  completed the sale of 1,100,000 shares of
     common  stock to the  public,  of which  700,000  shares  were  sold by the
     Company and 400,000 shares were sold by certain selling  stockholders.  The
     Company received $7,999,400 after underwriting discounts and commissions of
     $510,600 based on a price to the public of $12.00. In addition, the Company
     sold  1,100,000   Common  Stock   Purchase   Warrants  for  $103,400  after
     underwriting  discounts and  commissions  of $6,600 based on a price to the
     public of $0.10 for each  warrant.  The  warrants  are  exercisable  for 25
     months and entitle the holder to purchase  one share of Common  Stock at an
     exercise  price of  $14.40  per  share  for  thirteen  months  from date of
     issuance and thereafter at $15.60 per share. The Company has also issued to
     the  underwriters,  for their own  account,  warrants to  purchase  110,000
     shares of common  stock of the  Company  at a price of  $14.40  per  share,
     exercisable for a period of four years beginning  December 16, 1998 and the
     right to  purchase  warrants  for  $.12 per  warrant  for  thirteen  months
     beginning December 16, 1998.

     On January 14, 1998, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option
     to purchase 165,000  additional shares of common stock from certain selling
     stockholders,  and 165,000  additional  Common Stock Purchase Warrants from
     the  Company.  The  Company  received  $15,510  for  the  warrants,   after
     underwriting  discounts  and  commissions  of $990  based on a price to the
     public of $0.10 for each warrant.

7.   At the annual  meeting of  stockholders  held on  February  18,  1998,  the
     stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to amend the Certificate of
     Incorporation  to  increase  the  authorized  shares of Common  Stock  from
     10,000,000 to 20,000,000 shares.

8.   No income tax provision was recorded in the thirteen and twenty-seven weeks
     ended  February  2,  1997  reflecting  the  utilization  of prior  year net
     operating  loss  ("NOL")  carryforwards  and the  reversal  of a  valuation
     allowance  for the NOL  carryforwards  established  in 1995.  The valuation
     allowance  was  established  based on  management's  uncertainty  that past
     performance would be indicative of future earnings.  Income taxes have been
     provided for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 1, 1998 at an
     anticipated effective rate of 34% for fiscal 1998.

9.   In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128).
     The  new  rules  are  effective  for  both  interim  and  annual  financial
     statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 128 supersedes
     APB No. 15 to conform  earnings per share with  international  standards as
     well as to simplify the complexity of the computation under APB No. 15. The
     previous primary earnings per share ("EPS")  calculation is replaced with a
     basic  EPS  calculation.  The  basic  EPS  differs  from  the  primary  EPS
     calculation in that the basic EPS

                                        6

<PAGE>



     does not include any potentially dilutive securities. Fully dilutive EPS is
     replaced  with diluted EPS and should be disclosed  regardless  of dilutive
     impact  to  basic  EPS.  Accordingly,  the  Company  has  adopted  SFAS 128
     effective  February 1, 1998.  Prior year EPS amounts have been  restated to
     conform to the Statement 128  presentation.  The following table sets forth
     the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Item 2: Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The  statements  contained  in this  report  which are not  historical  fact are
"forward-looking statements" that involve various important assumptions,  risks,
uncertainties  and other factors which could cause the Company's  actual results
for  1998  and  beyond  to  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in  such
forward-looking statements. These important factors include, without limitation,
competitive  factors  and  pricing  pressures,  changes in legal and  regulatory
requirements,  technological change or difficulties,  product development risks,
commercialization  and trade  difficulties and general economic  conditions,  as
well as other risks previously disclosed in the Company's securities filings and
press releases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of February  1, 1998 and August 3, 1997,  working  capital was  approximately
$22,151,000 and  $10,662,000,  respectively,  and the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 3.07 to 1 and 2.09 to 1, respectively.

As is customary  in the defense  industry,  inventory  is partially  financed by
progress  payments.  The  unliquidated  balance of these  advanced  payments was
approximately $3,022,000 at February 1, 1998, and $3,091,000 at August 3, 1997.

Net cash provided by operations during the period was approximately  $3,147,000.
This includes the  repayment of notes  receivable  from certain  officers in the
amount of $2,101,000.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  consists  of  $624,000  for  capital
expenditures.

Financing  activities provided net cash of $6,551,000 primarily from the sale of
common  stock and common stock  purchase  warrants to the public on December 16,
1997 for the net amount of  $7,511,000.  This was offset by  reductions  of long
- -term debt of $1,060,000.

The Company  maintains a revolving  credit facility with a bank for an aggregate
of  $11,000,000  which  expires  January  31,  1999.  There  were no  borrowings
outstanding as of February 1, 1998 or August 3, 1997.

At February 1, 1998, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents of approximately
$10,268,000.

We have  conducted a review of our  information  systems to identify the systems
which  may  be  affected  by  the  "Year  2000"  issue  and  have  developed  an
implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Company has been informed that its
accounting  software and computer hardware is year 2000 compliant at all but one
of its  facilities.  We have incurred  internal  staff costs as well as external
consulting  and other  expenses in order to convert  that  facility as discussed
under "Results of Operations"  below. Any additional cost of this project is not
expected  to have a  material  impact on our  financial  condition,  results  of
operations  or cash flows.  The Company  believes  its  engineering  software is
unaffected  by year  2000.  However,  there  can be no  guarantees  that all the
Company's systems that may be affected have been identified.

The Company believes that presently anticipated future cash requirements will be
provided  by  internally  generated  funds,  as well as the net  proceeds of the
public offering, and existing credit facilities.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Thirteen weeks ended February 1, 1998 and February 2, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------
              Net sales  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended  February  1, 1998 were
$9,051,000 compared to $7,146,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997. The
sales  increase of $1,905,000  (26.7%) is  attributed  to  additional  volume of
$1,056,000 from the  acquisition of Metraplex and increased  shipments of flight
instrumentation products in the foreign markets.

              The gross  profit  margin of 44.8% for the  thirteen  weeks  ended
February  1, 1998  exceeded  that of the second  quarter of fiscal 1997 of 31.2%
primarily  due to the increase in higher  margin  foreign  sales,  and increased
absorption of fixed overhead costs.

              Selling and  administrative  expenses for the thirteen weeks ended
February  1, 1998 were  $2,260,000,  an  increase  of  $907,000  over the second
quarter of the prior  year.  Of this  amount,  $313,000 is  attributable  to the
operations  of  Metraplex.  The  balance of the  increase  includes  $93,000 for
computer  systems  upgrades at the  Herley-MDI  facility,  $261,000 in personnel
related  costs,  $48,000  in  performance  incentives,  and  $132,000  in higher
representative fees related to increased foreign shipments.

              Other  income  (net of  expenses)  for the  thirteen  weeks  ended
February  1,  1998  increased  $177,000  from the  prior  year due to  increased
investment income of $54,000, and lower interest expense of $123,000.

              A provision for income taxes has been provided at the  anticipated
effective  rate of 34% for fiscal 1998.  No income tax provision was recorded in
the second  quarter  fiscal 1997 due to the decrease in the valuation  allowance
for net  operating  loss  carryforwards  expected  to be  realized.  A valuation
allowance  was provided  previously  to reduce  deferred tax assets to their net
realizable  value for amounts which management  believed may expire  unutilized.
The uncertainty that past performance would be indicative of future earnings due
to the unpredictable  nature of the industry in which the Company operates was a
determining factor in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

Twenty-six weeks ended February 1, 1998 and twenty-seven weeks ended February 2,
1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Net  sales  for the  twenty-six  weeks  ended  February  1,  1998  were
$19,624,000  compared to  $14,654,000  for the period ended February 2, 1997, an
increase of $4,970,000,  or 33.9%. Of this increase,  $2,221,000 is attributable
to the Metraplex acquisition. The remaining increase is due to increased foreign
shipments.

         The gross  profit  margin for the first six  months of fiscal  1998 was
41.5%,  which exceeded the gross profit margin of 31.2% in fiscal 1997 by 10.3%.
This is attributable to the mix of foreign  shipments which accounted for 32% of
sales in fiscal  1998 as  compared  to 10% in 1997,  as well as product  mix and
increased absorption of fixed overhead.

         Selling and  administrative  expenses  for the  twenty-six  weeks ended
February 1, 1998 were $4,262,000,  an increase of $1,521,000 over the prior year
of which $597,000 is attributable to the Metraplex acquisition.  Other increases
include $277,000 in license fees for MAGIC2, $214,000 in performance incentives,
$131,000 for computer systems upgrades at the Herley-MDI  facility,  $253,000 in
personnel related costs, and representative fees of $89,000.

              Other  income (net of  expenses)  for the  twenty-six  weeks ended
February  1,  1998  increased  $198,000  over the  prior  year due to  increased
investment income of $82,000, and lower interest expense of $116,000.
