        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited (except for the
balance sheet information as of June 30, 1997, which is derived from the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements) and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the interim periods. The consolidated condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed
financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the
Company's fiscal 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders. The result of operations
for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1998, or
any future interim period.

The income tax rates of 35 - 37% utilized for interim financial statement
purposes for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 1998 are based on
estimates of income and utilization of tax credits for the entire year.

NOTE 5:     Income Taxes

            Deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 1998 and June 30,
            1997 are summarized as follows:

                                                   Mar. 31            June 30

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

            The valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets as of March 31,
            1998 and June 30, 1997 was $420,109 and $583,104, respectively. The
            net change in the total valuation allowance for the nine months
            ended March 31, 1998 was a decrease of $162,995. In assessing the
            realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
            it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
            tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
            deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future
            taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
            differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled
            reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
            income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based
            upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for
            future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets
            are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the
            Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences,
            net of the existing valuation allowances at March 31, 1998.

NOTE 6:     Research and Development Costs

            Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
            The Company receives fees under a technology development contract
            and such fees are recorded as a reduction of research and
            development costs as work is performed pursuant to the related
            contract and as defined milestones are attained. Net research and
            development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and
            1997 are summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1997.

Net  Sales.  Net sales  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 were $9.9
million,  up 64% from net sales of $6.1  million  for the third  quarter  of the
previous year.  This increase was led by a 108% rise in the shipment of Wireless
products,  a 59%  increase in sales of Defense  Electronics  products  and a 21%
increase in  shipments  of Satellite  Communications  products.  The increase in
sales of Wireless  products,  which consist of catalog  surface mount and custom
components  for use in building  wireless  base  station  equipment,  was due to
continuing  strong  demand  by the major  wireless  base  station  OEM's for the
company's custom products.  Sales of Satellite  Communications  products,  which
consist of custom multilayer  components such as butler matrixes and beamforming
networks for commercial and military satellites, rose 21% over the third quarter
last year due to initial  shipments in the quarter of beamformers to Loral Space
and  Communications,  Ltd.  for the  Globalstar  program,  as well as  continued
shipments to Lockheed  Martin  Corporation on the ACeS program and a program for
Hughes Space and Communications International, Inc. Sales of Defense Electronics
products, which consist of Digital Frequency Discriminators,  ("DFD's"), Digital
RF Memories (DRFM's"), ESM receivers and Microwave Integrated Circuit Components
("MIC's"),  rose 59% to $3.2  million for the three  months ended March 31, 1998
compared  to $2.0  million  for the  third  quarter  of last year as a result of
shipments of DRFMs for foreign  sales of the  Airborne  Self  Protection  Jammer
("ASPJ") system,  which first entered full production  during the second quarter
of fiscal 1998.

Gross Profit.  Cost of sales  consists  primarily of  engineering  design costs,
material,  material  fabrication  costs,  assembly costs and test costs. Cost of
sales rose  57.5% to $6.3  million  (63.2% of net  sales) for the third  quarter
ended  March 31,  1998  from $4.0  million  (65.9% of net  sales)  for the third
quarter of fiscal 1997. Gross profit was 36.8% of net sales for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998  compared  to 34.1% of net  sales for the same  period in
fiscal 1997. The improvement in gross profit was due to continuing  economies of
scale in the Wireless and Defense  Electronics  groups resulting from the higher
sales volume.

Marketing.  Marketing  expenses  consist  mainly of employee  related  expenses,
commissions  paid to sales  representatives,  trade show  expenses,  advertising
expenses and related travel  expenses.  Marketing  expenses  increased  13.5% to
$1,017,000  (10.2% of net sales) for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 from
$896,000  (14.8% of net sales) for the three months  ended March 31,  1997.  The
increase is a result of higher  commission and advertising  expenses  related to
increased sales volume and further development of the marketing  organization to
support the Company's expanding commercial markets.


                                       11
<PAGE>

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses consist of material
and  salaries  and  related  overhead  costs of  employees  engaged  in  ongoing
research,  design and  development  activities  associated with new products and
technology  development.  Gross  research and  development  costs are reduced by
expense reimbursements  received under a Technology Reinvestment Program through
Raytheon,  for  the  Advance  Research  Project  Agency  of  the  United  States
Government.  Net research and  development  expenses  increased 145% to $368,000
(3.7% of net sales) for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from  $150,000
(2.4% of net sales) for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  Research  and
development expenses expanded to support the increased development opportunities
for wireless infrastructure and satellite communications products.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased 33.3%
to  $749,000  (7.6% of net  sales) for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998
compared to $562,000  (9.3% of net sales) for the three  months  ended March 31,
1997.  General  and  administrative  expense  increased  due  to the  hiring  of
additional  employees,  increased staffing levels,  higher professional fees and
increased compensation levels for existing personnel.

Other income.  Other income is primarily  interest  income  received on invested
cash  balances.  Other income  increased to $340,000 (3.4% of net sales) for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $28,000 (0.3% of net sales) for the three
months ended March 31, 1997,  due to a higher level of investable  cash balances
in the current  year as a result of the public  offering  completed  in November
1997.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense   represents  interest paid on the Company's
outstanding term loan and letter of credit.  Interest expenses  decreased 30% to
$14,000  (0.1% of net  sales) for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 from
$20,000 (0.3% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Income  Taxes.  Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$681,000  (6.8% of net  sales),  an  effective  tax rate of 36.8%.  The  Company
incurred  no income tax for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 due to the
utilization   of  the  remainder  of  its  available  loss   carryforwards   and
substantially all of its available tax credits in fiscal 1997.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Nine months Ended March 31, 1997.

Net Sales.  Net sales increased 64.6% to $27.0 million for the nine months ended
March 31,  1998 from $16.4  million  for the first nine  months of the  previous
year.  This increase  resulted from a 164% rise in sales of wireless  commercial
products and a 54% increase in shipments of Defense Electronics  products during
the period compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1997. Wireless sales have
risen due to the  escalating  demand from the major  basestation  infrastructure
OEMs, while Defense  Electronic sales have rebounded from fiscal 1997 levels due
to the first  production  shipments of DRFMs for the foreign sales of the "ASPJ"
program. During this same nine month period shipments of Satellite Communication
products were essentially flat compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit for the first nine  months of fiscal 1998 was $9.9
million  (36.4% of net sales) up from $5.4 million  (32.8% of net sales) for the
first nine  months of fiscal  1997.  This  improvement  is a result of the 64.6%
increase in sales volume which resulted in significant economies of scale in the
Company's manufacturing operations.

Marketing  Expense.  Marketing expense increased 26.7% to $2.9 million (10.9% of
net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from $2.3 million  (14.2% of
net sales) for the first nine 


                                       12
<PAGE>

months of fiscal  1997.  This  increase is a result of the higher  sales  volume
which  generated  larger  commission  expense  and an  increase  in  advertising
expenditures for commercial business. Additionally, the Company is expanding its
Marketing organization to support the expanding order volume.

Research and Development. Research and development expense rose 117% to $825,000
(3.0% of net sales) in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from $380,000  (2.3%
of net sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 1997. Research and development
expenditures   are  expanding  to  support   further   development  of  wireless
infrastructure products and expanding satellite communications opportunities.

General and Administrative.  General and administrative  expense increased 30.5%
to $2.1  million  (7.9% of net sales) for the nine  months  ended March 31, 1998
from $1.6 million (9.9% for net sales) for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.
General and administrative expense has increased due to the hiring of additional
personnel  and rise in  professional  fees  attributable  to the  growth  of the
Company.

Other income.  Other income  increased  $505,000 to $568,000 (2.1% of net sales)
for the first nine months of fiscal 1998,  from $63,000  (0.4% of net sales) for
the first nine months of fiscal 1997,  due to the large  increase in  investable
cash  resulting  from the public  offering  completed by the Company  during the
second quarter of the current fiscal year.

Interest  Expense.  Interest  expense fell 21.9% to $57,000  (0.2% of net sales)
during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $73,000 (0.5% of net sales) for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997, due to the  continuing  decline in Company
debt balances.

Income  Taxes.  Income tax  expense for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 was
$1,579,000 (5.8% of net sales),  an effective tax rate of 35.3%. The Company had
no tax expense in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 due to the utilization of
remaining loss carry forwards and tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During  the second  quarter  ended December  31, 1997 the  Company  completed  a
secondary public offering of common stock. This offering resulted in the sale of
1,165,450 new shares and provided net proceeds to the Company after underwriters
fees and offering expenses of $19,750,000.

Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 were $1,920,000 and  $2,418,000,  respectively.
The positive  flow from  operations in both the first nine months of fiscal 1998
and 1997 was due primarily to the profit attained in both years.  The relatively
lower level of cash  provided by  operations  in the first nine months of fiscal
1998,  compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1997, resulted primarily from
increases in inventory levels due to the higher production volume.

Net cash used in investing activities consists of funds from the public offering
which  were  used  to  purchase  short-term  investment  and  capital  equipment
expenditures.  Capital  equipment  additions  in the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and the nine  months  ended March 31, 1997 were  $1,535,000  and  $665,000,
respectively.

These capital  investments  consisted  primarily of equipment  needed to further
automate production for the Company's new Wireless and Satellite  Communications
products,  as well as test and production  equipment for the initial  production
run of the ASPJ program.

Cash provided by financing  activities  for the nine months ended March 31, 1998
was,  $20,095,000  and consisted of funds  generated  from the Company's  public
stock offering and the exercise of Company  incentive  stock  options.  Of these
funds,  $682,000 was used to pay-off the balance on the  Company's  term loan at
the end of December. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended
March 31,  1997 was  $243,000  and  consisted  of,  primarily,  payments  on the
Company's term loan and capitalized lease obligations.

During the remainder of fiscal 1998, the Company's major cash  requirements will
be for additions to capital  equipment and inventory  growth.  Capital equipment
additions for the current year have been budgeted at $1,750,000 and, through the
first nine months of fiscal 1998,  approximately  $1,535,000  has been expended,
all of which was funded by cash generated  from  operations.  Capital  equipment
additions for the  remainder of fiscal 1998 will  continue to be funded  through
cash  generated by operations as projected  operating cash flows are expected to
be more than adequate to meet these financing needs.

During  December,  1997 the Company  renegotiated  its credit  facility with its
bank,  increasing the size of the facility and obtaining  more favorable  terms.
The new credit facility is an unsecured  $10,000,000  working capital  revolving
line of credit bearing interest at prime and maturing December 31, 2000.

The terms of the credit facility  require  maintenance of a minimum tangible net
worth,  ratio of cash flows to maturities,  and leverage ratio as defined in the
respective  agreements.  The Company was in compliance with all restrictions and
covenants at March 31, 1998.

The Company believes that its cash requirements for the foreseeable  future will
be satisfied by  currently  invested  cash  balances,  expected  cash flows from
operations and funds available under its credit facilities.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings
Per Share  (statement  128),  beginning  with the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
Statement  128   specifies  the   computation,   presentation   and   disclosure
requirements  for earnings per share.  Adoption of Statement  128 did not have a
material effect on the Company's operating results.

Additionally,  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard No. 131,  Disclosures
About  Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information  (Statement  131) was
issued  in 1997.  Statement  131  establishes  standards  for the  reporting  of
information about operating segments and related  disclosures about products and
services,  geographic areas, and major customers. Adoption of Statement 131 will
be required in fiscal 1999 and require interim  disclosures  beginning in fiscal
2000. Adoption of Statement 131 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statement disclosures.

Forward-Looking Cautionary Statement

In an effort to provide  investors  a  balanced  view of the  Company's  current
condition and future growth  opportunities,  this third quarter report  includes
comments by the Company's  management  about future  performance.  Because these
statements are forward-looking statements pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,  management's forecasts
involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from
those predicted in the  forward-looking  statement;  among the principal factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:  general
market conditions, including demand


                                       14

for the Company's products,  manufacturing capacity and the ability to "ramp" to
meet  anticipated  demand,  fluctuations  in yield,  availability of third-party
supplier parts at reasonable prices, availability of financial resources to fund
anticipated  growth,  ability to maintain sole supplier  positions  with certain
defense  sectors,  successful  adaptation of existing  Company  technologies  to
produce new products that meet specific customer requirements,  price pressures,
the level of worldwide spending on military defense products, growth of wireless
telephone  and  satellite  communications  systems,  acceptance of new products,
customer  order  cancellations  or  rescheduling  and actual orders  compared to
annual blanket contracts from wireless customers.

Management believes the Company has the products,  human resources,  facilities,
and financial  resources to continue its growth,  but future revenues,  margins,
and profits are all  influenced by a number of risk  factors,  including but not
limited to those discussed above.
