Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ------   ------------------------------------

         On February 25, 1999, Merrimac Industries, Inc. ("Merrimac" or
"Registrant") completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of common
stock of Filtran Microcircuits Inc. ("FMI") of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, a
leading manufacturer of microwave micro circuitry. The acquisition was made
pursuant to a previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December
15, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among Merrimac, FMI and the direct and
indirect shareholders of FMI. Registrant's press release dated March 1, 1999 is
incorporated herein by reference.

         The purchase price was approximately $4.5 million, net of $203,000 of
cash acquired and including the assumption of $451,000 existing indebtedness.
The purchase price for the acquisition was arrived at by arm's-length
negotiations between Registrant and FMI and was financed by utilizing Merrimac's
previously unused existing credit facility with Summit Bank.

         The Stock Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

         Except for the Stock Purchase Agreement and as described in the
following sentence, Merrimac is not aware of any material relationship between
FMI or any of the shareholders of FMI, on the one hand, and Merrimac or any of
its affiliates, any director or officer of Merrimac or any associate of any such
director or officer, on the other hand, that existed at the date of the
acquisition by Merrimac of the shares of common stock of FMI pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement. During Registrant's 1998 fiscal year, Registrant
purchased approximately $20,400 of goods and services from FMI in the normal
course of business. These purchases were on terms Merrimac believes were arm's
length.

                                AUDITOR'S REPORT
                                ----------------

         I have audited the balance sheet of Filtran Micro-Circuits Inc. as at
November 30, 1998 and the statements of income and retained earnings, and
changes in financial position, for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

         I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

         In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the company as at November 30,
1998, and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial
position for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1.   Accounting Policies

     a)   Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable
          value (cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method) for
          raw materials; and at cost of direct labour, materials, sub-contracts
          and overhead for work-in-process and finished goods.

          Effective for 1998, the company has changed its accounting policy with
          respect to valuation of its inventory of finished goods and
          work-in-progress to include an element for overhead. The effect of
          this change is to increase income from operations by $31,654.

     b)   Depreciation of capital assets is provided at the following annual
          rates, on assets available for use as at year-end:

          Dies                               50%  straight-line

Income Taxes . . .cont'd

     The company has changed to the tax allocation basis of accounting for
     income taxes; the effect has been accounted for in the current period, and
     arises because of timing differences between recording depreciation for
     accounting purposes and for tax purposes and investment tax credits earned
     on research and development.

                                Introductory Note
                                -----------------

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements have been prepared by Merrimac's management. These statements reflect
Merrimac's acquisition of FMI and combine the historical combined financial
statements of Merrimac and FMI for the periods indicated, using the purchase
method of accounting.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects
adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on January 2, 1999. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of income has been prepared assuming the
acquisition of FMI had occurred at January 4, 1998. These pro forma statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and
related notes of Merrimac and FMI. The historical financial statements of FMI
have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". A pro forma
adjustment to research and development expenses was made to reconcile the
historical financial statements of FMI, which were prepared in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, to United States generally
accepted accounting principles. The pro form financial statements include
preliminary estimates and assumptions which Merrimac's management believes are
reasonable. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results
which would have occurred if the business combination had been in effect on the
dates presented.

         The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements give
effect to the acquisition by Merrimac of FMI using the purchase method of
accounting and are based on the respective historical financial statements as of
their most recent respective fiscal year-end dates and the fiscal years then
ended.

         The purchase price of FMI, including an estimate of acquisition
expenses of approximately $200,000, has been allocated to the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities of FMI based upon their respective estimated fair values
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.
Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and
assumed liabilities of FMI is subject to revision as a result of the final
determination of fair values.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(a)      Reflects the effect on cash of the pro forma adjustments.

(b)      The purchase price, including an estimate for acquisition expenses of
         approximately $200,000, has been allocated to the acquired assets and
         assumed liabilities of FMI at their respective estimated fair values.
         The allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed
         liabilities of FMI is subject to revision as a result of the final
         determination of fair values. The estimated excess of the purchase
         price over the net assets acquired of $3,001,664 is being carried as
         goodwill and will be amortized over its estimated life of 20 years. The
         pro forma amortization of goodwill charge was $150,083.

(c)      Reflects $4,026,845 of indebtedness incurred to finance the purchase
         price of the acquisition, of which $500,000 is due in less than one
         year.

(d)      Reflects (i) the elimination of shareholders' equity in FMI and (ii)
         the pro forma net loss of $312,283 as a result of the acquisition.

(e)      Reflects the elimination of purchases by Merrimac of goods and services
         from FMI of $20,400 in fiscal 1998.

(f)      Reflects (i) adjustments of $5,600 to the cost of sales, $17,000 to
         research and development expenses and $14,800 to selling, general and
         administrative expenses related to additional compensation to certain
         officers of FMI under employment agreements entered into with FMI and
         Merrimac in connection with the acquisition and (ii) an adjustment of
         $56,000 to research and development expenses related to certain income
         tax benefits obtained as a result of the reconciliation of the
         historical financial statements of FMI from Canadian generally accepted
         accounting principles to United States generally accepted accounting
         principles.

(g)      Reflects the elimination of transaction related costs and expenses of
         $77,000 incurred by FMI in connection with the sale of FMI to Merrimac.

(h)      Reflects interest expense of $321,000 (based on interest rates in
         effect during fiscal 1998, assuming the acquisition had occurred on
         January 4, 1998) related to $4,026,845 of indebtedness incurred to
         finance the purchase price of the acquisition.

                                      B-4

(i)      Reflects a tax benefit of $108,000 related to the deductibility of
         compensation and interest expense, offset by the elimination of other
         acquisition related expenses (see note (g) above) and the
         reclassification of a research and development tax benefit adjustment
         of $56,000 (see note (f) above).
