Herley Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)

1.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Herley
    Industries,  Inc. (the  "Company")  and its  subsidiaries,  all of which are
    wholly-owned.  All significant  inter-company 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  2,1998) 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 May 2, 1999 and August 2,1998 are summarized as follows:

                                                May 2, 1999     August 2,1998

                                                 ==========       ==========

3.  In February 1999, the Company  entered into a new loan agreement with a bank
    that  provides for a revolving  loan in the  aggregate  principal  amount of
    $20,000,000  which may be used for  general  corporate  purposes,  including
    business acquisitions,  and a mortgage loan in the amount of $2,915,000. The
    revolving credit facility requires the payment of interest only on a monthly
    basis and payment of the outstanding  principal balance on January 31, 2001.
    Interest is set  biweekly  at 1.65% over the FOMC Target Rate (an  aggregate
    rate of 6.4% at May 2,  1999).  As of May 2, 1999 and  August 2,  1998,  the
    Company  had  borrowings   outstanding  of   $10,550,000   and   $1,500,000,
    respectively. 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 May 2, 1999,  stand-by letters of credit aggregating
    $1,405,638 were outstanding under this facility.

    The mortgage  loan is for a term of ten years with monthly  installments  of
    $23,359,  including  interest at a fixed rate of 7.43%,  based upon a twenty
    year  amortization.  The loan is secured by a mortgage on the Company's land
    and building in Lancaster,  Pennsylvania.  The proceeds of the mortgage loan
    were used to prepay the existing mortgage note having an outstanding balance
    of $2,890,000 plus a prepayment premium of $115,600.  The prepayment premium
    and unamortized  debt expenses of $79,226 are reflected as an  extraordinary
    loss of  $126,826  in the  quarter  ended May 2, 1999 (net of an income  tax
    benefit of $68,000).

    The loan agreement contains various financial  covenants,  including,  among
    other matters,  the maintenance of working capital,  tangible net worth, and
    restrictions on other borrowings.

4.  As of January 4, 1999, the Company  completed the  acquisition of all of the
    issued and outstanding  common stock of General  Microwave Corp., a New York
    corporation,  including  outstanding stock options, for $18.00 per share and
    966,675  three-year  warrants to purchase one share of the Company's  common
    stock,  at an aggregate  purchase price of  approximately  $24,556,000.  The
    purchase  price  includes  shares  of  common  stock  of  General  Microwave
    purchased in the open market,  acquisition of the remaining shares of common
    stock  outstanding,  an estimate of the fair  market  value of the  warrants
    based on the trading price of similar warrants  currently on the market, and
    transaction  expenses.  The warrants are  exercisable at $15.60 per share of


                                        5

    common stock of the Company and expire in January 2002.

    The aggregate purchase price is calculated as follows (in thousands,  except
    share and per share data):

          365,600 shares previously acquired in the open market  $ 6,273
          848,675 shares at $18.00 per share                      15,276
          118,000 stock options at $18.00 per share,

          966,675 Warrants at $1.50                                1,450
          Transaction expenses                                       278
                                                                  ------

    The cash portions of the acquisition  were financed  through  available cash
    equivalents and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

    General Microwave designs, manufactures and markets microwave components and
    subsystems,  and related  electronic  test and  measurement  equipment.  The
    company is  headquartered  in  Amityville,  New York, and operates two other
    facilities,  one  in  Billerica,  Massachusetts,  and  one  in  Israel.  The
    transaction has been accounted for under the purchase  method.  Accordingly,
    the  consolidated  balance  sheet  includes  the assets and  liabilities  of
    General Microwave at May 2, 1999, and the consolidated  statements of income
    include the results of General  Microwave  operations  from January 4, 1999.
    The  allocation  of the  purchase  price  will be  revised  when  additional
    information   concerning   asset  and  liability   valuations  is  obtained.
    Adjustments,  which could be significant, will be made during the allocation
    period based on detailed  reviews of the fair values of assets  acquired and
    liabilities  assumed and could result in a substantial  change in the excess
    of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.

    The  Company  is  currently  negotiating  the  sale of  General  Microwave's
    property in Amityville, New York with the intentions of relocating the plant
    to nearby  leased  facilities.  The Company plans to use the net proceeds of
    approximately  $4,100,000,  which  approximates the net carrying value, from
    the sale to reduce outstanding bank debt.

    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 1998,  unaudited
    consolidated net sales, net income,  and earnings per share for the thirteen
    and  thirty-nine  weeks  ended May 3,  1998  would  have been  approximately
    $15,934,000,  $1,582,000, and $0.27, and $46,401,000, $5,034,000, and $0.90,
    respectively;  and for the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended May 2, 1999 would have
    been approximately $52,964,000,  $5,357,000, and $.95, respectively. The pro
    forma information includes adjustments for additional  depreciation based on
    the  estimated  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 1998.

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  1999  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.

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

Thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1999 and May 3, 1998
- ------------------------------------------------

Net  sales  for  the  thirteen  weeks  ended  May  2,  1999  were  approximately
$17,468,000  compared to  $10,008,000  in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  The
sales  increase  of  $7,460,000  (74.5%) is  primarily  attributable  to revenue
generated  by General  Microwave  of  $6,702,000,  and the balance to  increased
volume in flight instrumentation and microwave products.

Gross profit margin of 39.0% for the thirteen  weeks ended May 2, 1999 was lower
than the third quarter in the prior year of 41.4%. The net change reflects lower
margins generated from the added General Microwave revenues, partially offset by
the higher margins in flight instrumentation products.

Selling and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended May 2, 1999 are
up by $1,513,000 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1998,  however, as a
percentage  of  revenue  are  unchanged.   Included  in  1999  are  selling  and
administrative expenses of General Microwave of $1,443,000.

Investment  income  declined  $109,000  from the prior year due to a decrease in
investments,  the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the  acquisition
of General Microwave.  In addition,  bank borrowings of $11,400,000 used to fund
the acquisition contributed to an increase in interest expense of $128,000.

Thirty-nine weeks ended May 2, 1999 and May 3, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------

Net  sales for the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended  May 2,  1999  were  approximately
$43,651,000  compared to $29,633,000 in the  comparable  prior year period.  The
sales  increase of  $14,018,000  (47.3%) is  primarily  attributable  to revenue
generated by General  Microwave of  $8,716,000,  as well as increased  volume in
flight  instrumentation  products of  $3,911,000  and  $1,391,000  in  microwave
products.

Gross  profit  margin for the  thirty-nine  weeks ended May 2, 1999 was 39.6% as
compared to 41.5% in fiscal 1998. The decline in margin of 1.9% is due primarily
to lower margins on microwave  components,  as well as lower  margins  generated
from the added General Microwave revenues.

Selling and administrative  expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 2, 1999
were  $8,205,000  compared to  $6,302,000  in the nine months of fiscal 1998, an
increase of $1,903,000.  The increase is primarily  attributable  to the General
Microwave acquisition. As a percentage of revenues, expenses declined from 21.3%
in 1998 to 18.8% in 1999.

Investment  income  declined  $158,000  from the prior year due to a decrease in
investments,  the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the  acquisition
of General Microwave. In addition, bank borrowings of $11,400,000

                                        8

used to fund the acquisition  resulted in a net increase in interest  expense of
$192,000.

Business Acquisition
- --------------------

As of January 4, 1999,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of all of the
issued and  outstanding  common  stock of General  Microwave  Corp.,  a New York
corporation,  including  outstanding  stock  options,  for  $18.00 per share and
966,675 three-year warrants to purchase one share of the Company's common stock,
at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24,556,000.  The purchase price
includes  shares of common  stock of  General  Microwave  purchased  in the open
market,  acquisition  of the remaining  shares of common stock  outstanding,  an
estimate of the fair market value of the warrants  based on the trading price of
similar warrants currently on the market, and transaction expenses. The warrants
are exercisable at $15.60 per share of common stock of the Company and expire in
January 2002.

The aggregate  estimated  purchase price is calculated as follows (in thousands,
except share and per share data):

     365,600 shares previously acquired in the open market     $ 6,273
     848,675 shares at $18.00 per share                         15,276
     118,000 stock options at $18.00 per share,
        net of exercise price                                    1,279
     966,675 Warrants at $1.50                                   1,450
     Transaction expenses                                          278
                                                                ------
     Purchase price                                            $24,556
                                                                ======

The cash  portions of the  acquisition  were  financed  through  available  cash
equivalents and borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

General Microwave  designs,  manufactures and markets  microwave  components and
subsystems,  and related electronic test and measurement equipment.  The company
is headquartered in Amityville, New York, and operates two other facilities, one
in  Billerica,  Massachusetts,  and one in  Israel.  The  transaction  has  been
accounted for under the purchase method.  Accordingly,  the consolidated balance
sheet includes the assets and  liabilities of General  Microwave at May 2, 1999,
and the  consolidated  statements  of income  include  the  results  of  General
Microwave  operations from January 4, 1999. The allocation of the purchase price
will be revised  when  additional  information  concerning  asset and  liability
valuations is obtained.  Adjustments,  which could be significant,  will be make
during the  allocation  period  based on detailed  reviews of the fair values of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed and could result in a substantial change
in the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.

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  1998,  unaudited
consolidated net sales, net income,  and earnings per share for the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended May 3, 1998 would have been  approximately  $15,934,000,
$1,582,000, and $0.27, and $46,401,000,  $5,034,000, and $0.90 respectively; and
for the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended May 2,  1999  would  have been  approximately
$35,496,000,  $3,490,000,  and $.62,  respectively.  The pro  forma  information
includes  adjustments  for additional  depreciation  based on the estimated 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 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

As of May 2,  1999  and  August  2,  1998,  working  capital  was  approximately
$27,480,000 and  $26,593,000,  respectively,  and the ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 3.23 to 1 and 3.70 to 1, respectively.


                                        9

<PAGE>



As is customary  in the defense  industry,  inventory  is partially  financed by
progress  payments.  The  unliquidated  balance of these  advanced  payments was
approximately $774,000 at May 2, 1999, and $1,825,000 at August 2, 1998.

Net cash provided by operations during the period was approximately $5,750,000.

Net cash used in investing  activities  consists of the  acquisition  of General
Microwave  Corporation,  in  part  for  cash  of  approximately  $20,101,000  as
discussed  above  under  "Business  Acquisition";  and  $1,276,000  for  capital
expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6,705,000.

The Company  maintains a revolving  credit facility with a bank for an aggregate
of $20,000,000, as amended in February 1999, which expires January 31, 2001. Net
borrowings for the period were  $9,050,000  which was used to partially  finance
the acquisition of General Microwave.  As of May 2, 1999 and August 2, 1998, the
Company had borrowings outstanding of $10,550,000 and $1,500,000, respectively.

In February 1999, the Company prepaid the existing mortgage on its facilities in
Lancaster,  PA at a premium of  $115,600.  The  mortgage  which was at an annual
interest  rate of  10.4%  had an  outstanding  balance  of  $2,890,000.  The new
mortgage of $2,915,000 is for a term of ten years with monthly  installments  of
$23,359,  including  interest  at a fixed rate of 7.43%,  based on a twenty year
amortization.

During the period  ended May 2, 1999,  the  Company  received  net  proceeds  of
approximately $400,000 from the exercise of common stock options and warrants by
employees  and acquired  188,350  shares of treasury  stock  through open market
purchases at a cost of  $2,203,000.  The Company also acquired  25,091 shares of
common stock  valued at $343,053 in  connection  with certain  "stock-for-stock"
exercises  of stock  options by which  certain  employees  elected to  surrender
"mature"  shares  owned in  settlement  of the option  price,  and  related  tax
obligations  of $114,700.  Such  exercises are treated as an exercise of a stock
option and the acquisition of treasury shares by the Company.  All such treasury
shares have been retired.

At May 2, 1999,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$1,768,000.

The Company believes that presently anticipated future cash requirements will be
provided by internally  generated funds and existing credit  facilities.  In May
1999,  the  Company  completed,  shipped  and billed a contract in the amount of
$4,773,000, net of commissions.  Upon collection of this receivable, the Company
intends  to pay down its bank  debt.  In  addition,  the  Company  is  currently
negotiating  the sale of General  Microwave's  property in Amityville,  New York
with the  intentions of relocating  the plant to nearby leased  facilities.  The
Company also plans to use the net proceeds of approximately  $4,100,000 from the
sale to reduce outstanding bank debt.

Year 2000 Readiness
- -------------------

The  "Year  2000"  problem  relates  to  computer  systems  that  have  time and
date-sensitive  programs that were designed to read years  beginning  with "19",
but may not properly  recognize the year 2000. If a computer  system or software
application  used by the Company or a third party dealing with the Company fails
because of the inability of the system or  application to properly read the year
2000 the results could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

A substantial  part of the Company's  revenues are derived from firm fixed price
contracts with U.S. government agencies,  prime contractors or subcontractors on
military or aerospace programs, and many foreign governments.  If the Company is
unable to perform under these contracts due to a Year 2000 problem, the customer
could terminate the contract for default. While lost revenues from such an event
are a concern for the Company, the

                                       10

<PAGE>



greater  risks are the  consequential  damages  for which the  Company  could be
liable for failure to perform  under the  contracts.  Such damages  could have a
material  adverse  impact on the Company's  results of operations  and financial
position.

The most likely  reason for a customer to terminate a contract for default would
be due to the Company's  inability to manufacture  and deliver product under the
contract.  Breakdowns  in any  number  of the  Company's  computer  systems  and
applications  could prevent the Company from being able to manufacture  and ship
its products.  Examples are failures in the Company's manufacturing  application
software,  computer chips embedded in engineering test equipment, lack of supply
of materials from its suppliers, or lack of power, heat, or water from utilities
servicing its facilities. The Company's products do not contain computer devices
that  require  remediation  to meet  Year  2000  requirements.  A review  of the
Company's  status with respect to remediating its computer systems for Year 2000
compliance is presented below.

For its information technology, the Company currently utilizes a Hewlett Packard
HP3000-based  computing  environment.  The HP3000 hardware is in compliance with
Year  2000  requirements.  The  Company's  financial,  manufacturing,  and other
software  applications  related to the HP3000  were  updated to comply with Year
2000  requirements  during  the fiscal  year  ended  August 2, 1998 at a cost of
approximately $350,000. All modules have been fully tested and are compliant. In
addition,  the  Company  utilizes a wide area  network  ("WAN")  to connect  its
operating facilities to the HP3000. The WAN has been updated to comply with Year
2000 requirements. A local area network ("LAN") is used to supplement the HP3000
environment  and has also been  upgraded and is fully Year 2000  compliant.  The
financial and operational  systems of General  Microwave have also been reviewed
and tested and are in compliance with Year 2000 requirements.

The Company is also reviewing its utility systems (heat, light,  phones,  liquid
nitrogen, etc.) for the impact of Year 2000, as well as determining the state of
readiness  of its  material  suppliers  and test  equipment  manufacturers.  The
Company  has  mailed  a  questionnaire  to its  significant  suppliers  and test
equipment  manufacturers regarding their compliance and attempts to identify any
problem areas with respect to their systems and equipment.  This process will be
ongoing and the Company's efforts with respect to specific problems  identified,
and future costs  associated  with them, will depend in part upon its assessment
of the risk that any such  problems may cause a disruption in  manufacturing  or
other problem which the Company believes would have a material adverse impact on
its  operations.  However,  the  Company  cannot  control  the  conduct  of  its
suppliers.  Therefore,  there  can  be no  guarantee  that  Year  2000  problems
originating  with a supplier  will not occur.  The Company has not yet developed
contingency  plans in the event of a Year 2000  failure  caused by a supplier or
third  party,  but would  intend to do so if a specific  problem  is  identified
through the process described above. The Company has developed  multiple sources
for a substantial portion of its raw material requirements and, therefore,  does
not believe there would be a significant disruption in supply.

The information set forth above identifies the key steps taken by the Company to
address the Year 2000  problem.  There can be no absolute  assurance  that third
parties will convert their systems in a timely manner. The Company believes that
its actions will minimize these risks and that any additional  cost of Year 2000
compliance for its  information  and production  systems will not be material to
its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Item 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to market risk  associated with changes in interest rates
and stock  prices.  The Company has not entered  into any  derivative  financial
instruments  to manage the above risks and the Company has not entered  into any
market  risk  sensitive  instruments  for trading  purposes.  There have been no
material  changes in market  risk to the  Company  since its fiscal  year end as
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report Form 10K as of August 2, 1998.
