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 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 1, 1999) 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.   The Company  entered into an  agreement,  as of January 3, 2000, to acquire
     substantially all of the assets of Robinson Laboratories,  Inc. ("Robinson"
     or "Robinson Labs"), a New Hampshire  corporation,  which is being operated
     as a division of Herley Industries,  Inc. The transaction,  which closed on
     February 1, 2000,  provided  for the  payment of  $6,000,000  in cash,  the
     issuance of 33,841 shares of Common Stock of the Company  valued at $15.188
     per share, and the assumption of  approximately  $3,135,000 in liabilities.
     In addition,  the agreement  provides for the issuance of additional shares
     of Common Stock at a future date,  aggregating  97,841shares,  based on new
     orders booked through May 2, 2001. The  transaction  has been accounted for
     under the purchase  method.  Accordingly,  the  consolidated  balance sheet
     includes the assets and  liabilities of Robinson at April 30, 2000, and the
     consolidated  statement  of  income  includes  the  results  of  Robinson's
     operations  from  January 3, 2000.  Excess  cost over the fair value of net
     assets  acquired of  approximately  $4,587,000 is being  amortized  over 20
     years.  The  allocation  of  the  aggregate  estimated  purchase  price  of
     $6,534,000 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.

     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  1999,
     unaudited consolidated net sales, net income, basic earnings per share, and
     diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May
     2, 1999 would have been approximately  $19,339,000,  $1,885,000,  $.36, and
     $0.34,  and  approximately  $49,849,000,   $5,342,000,  $1.02,  and  $0.95,
     respectively, and for the thirty-nine weeks ended April 30, 2000 would have
     been approximately $54,313,000, $5,183,000, $1.11, and $1.04, respectively.
     The pro forma information includes adjustments for additional  depreciation
     based on the  estimated  fair  market  value of the  property,  plant,  and
     equipment  acquired,  the  amortization  of  intangibles,   and  additional
     interest on bank  borrowings  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 affected at the
     beginning of fiscal 1999.

     Pre-acquisition  debt in the  amount  of  $1,478,758  was paid  during  the
     quarter ended April 30, 2000.

4.   In January  2000,  the Company  entered into an amendment to its  revolving
     loan agreement with a bank that provides for a revolving  unsecured loan in
     the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 which may be used for general
     corporate purposes,  including business acquisitions.  The revolving credit
     facility  requires  the  payment of  interest  only on a monthly  basis and
     payment of the outstanding  principal  balance on May 2, 2002.  Interest is
     set at 1.65% over the FOMC Federal  Funds Target Rate based on tangible net
     worth in excess of $25,000,000, or at an increment of 1.80% if tangible net
     worth is less than  $25,000,001.  The aggregate rate was 7.80% at April 30,
     2000,  including an  increment of 1.80%.  There is a fee of 15 basis points
     per annum on the unused portion of the credit line in excess of $20,000,000
     payable quarterly.  Borrowings under the line were $17,000,000 at April 30,
     2000.  Subsequent  to the close of the  quarter,  the Company  paid off the
     balance of the bank debt using the proceeds of the exercise of common stock
     purchase  warrants  which  were due to expire on May 18,  2000.  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
     April 30, 2000,  stand-by  letters of credit  aggregating  $1,102,785  were
     outstanding under this facility.

     The agreement contains various financial covenants,  including, among other
     matters,  minimum  tangible  net worth,  debt to tangible  net worth,  debt
     service coverage, and restrictions on other borrowings.

     Options and warrants to purchase  2,501,875  shares of common  stock,  with
     exercise prices ranging from $13.88 to $17.88,  were outstanding during the
     first nine months of fiscal 2000, but were not included in the  computation
     of diluted  EPS because the  exercise  prices are greater  than the average

     per  share  of  common  stock   resulting  in  proceeds  of   approximately

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 fiscal 2000 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 April 30, 2000 and May 2, 1999
---------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2000 were $19,248,000  compared
to  $17,468,000  in the third  quarter of fiscal  1999.  The sales  increase  of
$1,780,000  (10.2%) is primarily  attributable to revenue  generated by Robinson
Labs, which was acquired as of January 3, 2000.

The gross profit  margin of 38.3%,  in the thirteen  weeks ended April 30, 2000,
was  slightly  lower than the margin of 39.0% in the third  quarter of the prior
year. The relative mix of products shipped was unchanged.

Selling and administrative  expenses for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2000
increased  $281,000  as  compared  to the  third  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  and
relatively constant as a percentage of net sales.  Contributing to this increase
were the selling and  administrative  expenses  of  Robinson  Labs of  $488,000.
Synergies from both the  consolidation  of Metraplex and Stewart Warner into the
Lancaster  facilities and the streamlining of the General  Microwave  operations
offset the increase from the Robinson Labs expenses in the third quarter.

Investment  income  declined  $23,000  from the prior year due to a reduction in
income from the limited  partnership,  and  reduction in interest  earned on the
investment  of  excess  operating  cash.  Bank  borrowings  of  $11,400,000  and
$6,000,000 used to fund the acquisitions of General Microwave and Robinson Labs,
respectively,  contributed to an increase in interest  expense of  approximately
$172,000.

Thirty-nine weeks ended April 30, 2000 and May 2, 1999
------------------------------------------------------

Net sales for the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended  April  30,  2000 were  $51,604,000
compared to $43,651,000 in the comparable prior year period.  The sales increase
of $7,953,000 (18.2%) is primarily  attributable to revenue generated by General
Microwave, which was included in fiscal 1999 for four months, of $5,810,000, and
revenue of  $2,642,000  from  Robinson  Labs which was acquired as of January 3,
2000. In addition microwave products revenue increased $3,823,000 in fiscal 2000
as  compared to fiscal  1999.  These  increases  in revenue  from the  microwave
technology   group  were  offset  by   reductions   in   revenues   from  flight
instrumentation products of $4,322,000.

Gross profit margin for the thirty-nine  weeks ended April 30, 2000 was 38.3% as
compared to 39.6% in fiscal 1999. The decline in margin of 1.3 percentage points
is due  primarily to lower  margins on  microwave  components,  including  lower
margins than the  Company's  historical  margins from the General  Microwave and
Robinson Labs revenues, as well as on certain foreign contracts.

Selling and  administrative  expenses for the thirty-nine  weeks ended April 30,
2000 were $10,222,000  compared to $8,205,000 in the first nine months of fiscal
1999, an increase of $2,017,000. The increase is primarily

                                        8

<PAGE>



attributable to expenses of General Microwave of $1,610,000,  which was included
in fiscal 1999 for only four  months,  and Robinson  Labs of $631,000,  which is
included in fiscal 2000 from January 3, 2000.  Synergies from the  consolidation
of  Metraplex  and Stewart  Warner into the  Lancaster  facilities  offset these
increases.   Also   offsetting   the  increased   expenses  is  a  reduction  of
representatives fees on certain foreign sales.

Investment  income  declined  $108,000  from the prior year due primarily to the
liquidation  of  investments  during the  second  quarter  of fiscal  1999,  the
proceeds  of which  were  used to  partially  fund the  acquisition  of  General
Microwave,  and to a  reduction  in income from the  limited  partnership.  Bank
borrowings  of  $11,400,000  and  $6,000,000  used to fund the  acquisitions  of
General Microwave and Robinson Labs, respectively, contributed to an increase in
interest expense of approximately $488,000.

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

The  Company  entered  into an  agreement,  as of January  3,  2000,  to acquire
substantially all of the assets of Robinson  Laboratories,  Inc.  ("Robinson" or
"Robinson  Labs"),  a New Hampshire  corporation,  which is being  operated as a
division of Herley Industries, Inc. The transaction, which closed on February 1,
2000,  provided for the payment of  $6,000,000  in cash,  the issuance of 33,841
shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  valued at $15.188  per  share,  and the
assumption  of  approximately  $3,135,000  in  liabilities.   In  addition,  the
agreement  provides for the issuance of  additional  shares of Common Stock at a
future date,  aggregating 97,841 shares,  based on new orders booked through May
2, 2001. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed by borrowing  under
the Company's  existing line of credit with its bank. The  transaction  has been
accounted for under the purchase method.  Accordingly,  the consolidated balance
sheet includes the assets and liabilities of Robinson at April 30, 2000, and the
consolidated  statement of income includes the results of Robinson's  operations
from January 3, 2000.  Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired of
approximately $4,587,000 is being amortized over 20 years. The allocation of the
aggregate estimated purchase price of $6,534,000 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.

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  1999,  unaudited
consolidated  net sales,  net  income,  basic  earnings  per share,  and diluted
earnings  per share for the  thirteen  and  thirty-nine  weeks ended May 2, 1999
would have been  approximately  $19,339,000,  $1,885,000,  $.36, and $0.34,  and
approximately $49,849,000,  $5,342,000, $1.02, and $0.95, respectively,  and for
the  thirty-nine  weeks  ended  April 30,  2000  would  have been  approximately
$54,313,000,   $5,183,000,  $1.11,  and  $1.04,  respectively.   The  pro  forma
information  includes  adjustments  for  additional  depreciation  based  on the
estimated fair market value of the property,  plant, and equipment acquired, the
amortization of intangibles,  and additional interest on bank borrowings 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 affected at the beginning of fiscal 1999.

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

As of April 30, 2000 and August 1, 1999,  working  capital was  $29,576,000  and
$25,703,000,   respectively,   and  the  ratio  of  current  assets  to  current
liabilities was 3.33 to 1 and 3.44 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 $510,000 at April 30, 2000, and $439,000 at August 1, 1999.

Net cash provided by operations during the period was approximately  $7,162,000,
up from $5,750,000 in the prior fiscal year.

                                        9

<PAGE>


Net cash used in investing  activities  consists of the  acquisition of Robinson
Labs, in part for cash of  approximately  $6,000,000,  as discussed  above under
"Business  Acquisition",  and  $2,303,000  for capital  expenditures,  including
building and leasehold  improvements  of $1,574,000 to  accommodate  the move of
General Microwave from Amityville,  NY to a leased facility in Farmingdale,  NY,
and consolidation of the General  Microwave leased  facilities in Billerica,  MA
with  Herley-MDI in Woburn,  MA. Net cash received from the sale of the facility
in Amityville was $4,125,000.

The Company  maintains a revolving  credit facility with a bank for an aggregate
of  $30,000,000,  as amended in January  2000,  which expires May 2, 2002. As of
April 30, 2000 and August 1, 1999,  the Company had  borrowings  outstanding  of
$17,000,000  and  $12,500,000,  respectively.  Subsequent  to the  close  of the
quarter, the Company paid off the balance of the bank debt using the proceeds of
the exercise of common stock  purchase  warrants which were due to expire on May
18, 2000.

During the period  ended April 30,  2000,  the Company  received net proceeds of
approximately $935,000 from the exercise of common stock options and warrants by
employees  and  publicly  traded   warrants,  and  acquired  512,000  shares  of
treasury  stock  through  open market  purchases  at a cost of  $7,565,000.  The
Company has acquired an aggregate of 858,050  shares under the  1,250,000  share
buyback programs  approved by the Board of Directors.  The Company also acquired
6,027  shares of common  stock  valued at $86,766  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 $39,647. 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.

Subsequent to the close of the quarter,  approximately 1,212,000 of the warrants
which were due to expire on May 18, 2000 were  exercised  at $15.60 per share of
common stock resulting in proceeds of approximately $18,900,000.  As noted above
the  proceeds  were used to pay off the bank debt  under  the  revolving  credit
facility.

At April 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$1,815,000.

The Company believes that presently anticipated future cash requirements will be
provided by internally generated funds and existing credit facilities.

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 1, 1999.
