PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Radyne was incorporated in the State of New York on November 25, 1980. The
Company's current address is 5225 South 37th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85040 and
its telephone number is (602) 437-9620.
Radyne has been involved in the advanced design and production of digital
data communications equipment and associated equipment for satellite
telecommunications systems for over sixteen years. Since the Company's inception
in 1980, Radyne has established itself as a supplier in the satellite ground
equipment business.
Radyne designs, manufactures and sells satellite modems, frequency
converters, ancillary products and equipment racks containing integrated modems
and supporting equipment for data communications.
Although the Company was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in April 1994, it successfully emerged from bankruptcy in December of that year
upon the acquisition of approximately 91% of its Common Stock by Engineering and
Technical Services, Inc. ("ETS"), then a major customer of Radyne. On August 12,
1996, ETS was acquired by Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd through its indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, Stetsys US, Inc. ("ST"). As a result, approximately 91%
of the Company's Common Stock is now held by ST. See "Bankruptcy Reorganization"
below.
In 1995, ETS caused Radyne to install a new management team, which promptly
moved the Company's operations from New York to Phoenix, Arizona and commenced
the hiring of an almost all new staff of engineering, sales and support
personnel, with funding advanced by ETS and subsequently ST and its affiliates.
The new Radyne team has reinstituted Radyne's research, development and
marketing programs and reinvigorated its product line.
OPERATING STRATEGY
Radyne's operating strategy is to (i) continue to build on the experience,
skills and customer access of its new management team, (ii) capitalize on its
development of smaller, less costly satellite modems, and (iii) expand into
market segments, such as rural telephone, private networks and compressed
television transmission. See "Target Markets" below.
The Company's engineering staff and support facilities are dedicated to (I)
maintaining the state-of-the-art status of Radyne's traditional products for the
satellite ground equipment segment of the market, (ii) designing and enhancing
products for emerging markets, such as rural telephony for developing areas,
high-speed satellite communications, government data equipment and the growing
private network market, and (iii) providing special configurations to satisfy
customers' special needs. The Company has already shipped commercial volumes of
its products for rural telephony and private network applications and has
shipped product qualification units to one government data equipment customer.
Radyne's modems cover data rates from 2.4 Kilobytes per second to 50
Megabytes per second. The Company's frequency converters handle all three
frequency bands used in satellite communications. Radyne believes that most of
its current line of modems and converters are smaller and lower priced than the
previous generation of products, enabling large system installation in
significantly less rack space than the products of the Company's competitors.
The Company also markets redundancy switches which operate in conjunction with
satellite modems and converters and provide automatic fault monitoring and
switch over to standby equipment in the event of modem or converter failure.
Radyne's line of frequency converter products is usable in virtually all
earth stations for the conversion of intermediate frequencies to microwave
frequencies for satellite transmission. These converters are competitively
priced, small in size and offer either single, dual or all three bands used in
the satellite industry. In addition to being offered to commercial customers,
there is a military market for the three-band units.
The Company's newer products include a low cost modem with expanded features
and super fast acquisition capabilities, making it attractive for use in both
private networks and rural telephone systems being offered in China, Indonesia
and India, and a line of satellite frequency translators presently used for
testing in satellite earth stations.
The development of digital compression technology has allowed the
transmission of television in a small bandwidth, which has made TV transmission
by satellite more economical than ever before. Video compression allows many
times more channels on a satellite than was previously the case, thus producing
a new market of major interest. This compression technology is or is expected to
be used for transmission of TV to all network facilities, distribution of cable
TV to cable companies, high definition TV distribution and video
teleconferencing. Radyne has developed a modulator product to be
2
<PAGE>
used in conjunction with compression equipment and has been shipping this
product for the past seven months.
BANKRUPTCY REORGANIZATION
In December 1994, Radyne emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that the reasons for Radyne having sought
bankruptcy protection have been neutralized by its new management team and
interim financing sources. When Radyne filed its bankruptcy petition in April
1994, it was suffering from severe cash flow problems due to shrinking sales.
Years of uninspired management and the failure to maintain the sort of research
and development program which is necessitated by the fast-moving data
communications industry had left Radyne with an aging product line and an
inability to access emerging markets.
On April 28, 1994, Radyne filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of
the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the
Company in existence prior to the filing were stayed while the Company continued
business operations as debtor-in-possession. Claims secured against the
Company's assets were also stayed, although the holders of such claims had the
right to move the court for relief from the stay prior to the Company's
reorganization plan being confirmed. Secured claims were secured primarily by
liens on all of the Company's assets.
The Company received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay certain of
its pre-petition obligations, employee wages and benefits. Tax claims were
rescheduled for payment in equal quarterly installments of $9,600, with interest
at 7%, over six years. A portion of these tax claims is the sole remaining
pre-petition liability of the Company.
On December 16, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's Plan
of Reorganization effective at the close of business on December 16, 1994.
The Plan, which has been consummated, called for the establishment of an
escrow account from which to pay claims and provided for the following: (1)
Exchange of Debt for Common Stock--The Company issued 17,000,000 (pre-Reverse
Split) shares of previously authorized but unissued Common Stock to Radyne
Florida (a special purpose subsidiary of ETS), which had previously purchased
the Company's secured bank debt and the position of certain holders of
secured promissory notes. This issuance of stock gave Radyne Florida
approximately 91% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. In exchange for
the stock, the Company was discharged of $2,350,000 of debt owed to Radyne
Florida. In addition, the 1,750,000 warrants held by Radyne Florida
(purchased with the secured promissory notes) were cancelled. (2)
Cancellation of Debt--Unsecured claims and capitalized lease obligations were
settled as follows:

(3) Other Claims--Priority Claims for wages of $53,786 were paid in full.
Holders of the Company's Common Stock and options to purchase the Company's
Common Stock had their interests significantly diluted by the distribution of
Common Stock to Radyne Florida.
Holders of warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock exchanged the
warrants for an aggregate of 53,437 shares of Common Stock.
TARGET MARKETS
Radyne has historically operated in an industry that has relatively few
customers. Today, fewer than 1,000 customers make up the market for satellite
data communication subsystems. Radyne's target markets include international
telecommunications, high speed satellite communications, rural telephony and
private network DAMA (demand assigned multiple access) users, as well as the
United States Government. Currently, Radyne has a presence in the international
telecommunications market and has just entered the DAMA products market with its
new DMD-2400 modem, but anticipates movement into the other markets in the near
future. Of course, there can be no assurance that Radyne will succeed in
capturing a significant share of these other markets.
The international telecommunications market includes users of IDR
(intermediate data rate), IBS (international business service) and open network
satellite equipment. The IDR environment is primarily for voice traffic, while
IBS is specific to business data traffic. In addition, the market
3
<PAGE>
includes customers for MUX (multiplexers), switches and peripheral equipment.
The international telecommunications market should provide substantial
business opportunities for Radyne in the near future. To illustrate the
magnitude of the potential market for Radyne's satellite modems alone, the
projected growth in transponders can be depicted as follows. A transponder is
the part of the satellite that receives an uplink signal at one frequency,
converts that signal's frequency, amplifies it and then retransmits the
signal to the ground. Satellites have an average of 24 transponders each. For
each transponder, an average of 50 modems are required (25 on the
transmitting side and 25 on the receiving end). The growth in total C-Band
and Ku-Band transponder capacity is projected to average more than 250 per
year until the end of 1999, to a world total of more than 5,000 transponders
(Source: VIA SATELLITE, January 1995). This transponder growth translates
into a need for up to 50,000 or more additional satellite modems by the year
2000.
Rural telephony and private network DAMA products require special
communications equipment which is efficient for low traffic volume at many
different locations. DAMA products allow many users to access the same channel
on demand. Radyne has recently entered the DAMA products segment of the market
with its new DMD-2400 modem. The DMD-2400 can be utilized in both rural
telephony and private network systems. Rural telephony can be described as an
intra-country telecommunications network linking many small villages in a
country like Indonesia, for example, ultimately allowing the villages to
communicate with the world. A private network can be described as a network in
the commercial world. For example, banks and other financial institutions,
airlines, and large and multi-unit corporations all have the need for
satellite communications and may be linked via private networks.
Demand for DAMA products for use in private and rural telephony networks is
growing rapidly. It has been estimated that 20,000 to 50,000 new installations
will occur in North America alone over the next two or three years, translating
into substantial demand for satellite ground equipment. (Source: SATELLITE
COMMUNICATIONS, August 1996). Radyne has entered this market and has a product
agreement for both low speed data equipment and the necessary radio frequency
(RF) products. The Company sells its DAMA/ VSAT compatible products to system
integrators (customers who make a business of supplying turnkey earth station
operations for their customers), domestically and abroad, as components to
systems that they have designed, as well as directly to end users. The Company
offers these products for sale on a global basis and believes their use to be
global.
The high-speed satellite communications market is just beginning to emerge.
Communications equipment in this segment possesses higher data rate capabilities
of approximately 12-150 megabits per second, allowing much more data to be
transmitted. Tests are currently underway by AT&T to use ATM (asynchronous
transfer mode) to transfer large amounts of data. It is Radyne's intention to
enter the high-speed satellite communications market as its engineers develop
advanced equipment designed to the higher data rate specifications.
Finally, the United States Government should provide a significant market
opportunity for Radyne as the defense budget shrinks and it becomes cost
prohibitive for the government to develop its own products. Because of the
expected growth in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and non-developmental item
(NDI) procurement, Radyne anticipates targeting the US Government as an
important revenue source.
PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS
The following is a brief description of the Company's principal product
lines. Readers should be aware that inasmuch as these products are frequently
customized to suit the needs of particular end users, the price range data
provided below may not represent actual prices for many units sold.
RCS5000/DMD5000 MODEM AND REDUNDANCY CONTROL SYSTEM
The model RCS5000 is a complete, self-contained satellite communication
modem system with all modems, terrestrial interfaces and redundancy switch
functions located in a single cabinet holding up to 27 modems. This compact
(17.5 inches high) and versatile common equipment package includes full support
for Intelsat's IDR/IBS services and may also be operated in closed networks.
Each built-in redundancy switch is a microcomputer controlled system which is
capable of controlling up to 9 modems, up to four of which may be designated as
back-ups. Thus, in the event of failure of an on-line modem, back-up operations
can be triggered either automatically or manually. The RCS5000 also has dual
redundant power supplies.
As the RCS5000 represents some of the older modem technology remaining in
the Company's product line, sales of these systems decreased from $1,397,000
(36% of revenues) for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $439,000 (9% of revenues)
for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
RCS-10/DMD-10 MODEM AND REDUNDANCY CONTROL SYSTEM
The RCS-10 represents the new generation system which is replacing the
RCS5000 family in Radyne's product line. It serves the same functions as the
RCS5000, but with a number of notable improvements. Up to 30 modems can be
combined in a single rack and each redundancy switch can control up to 10
modems. In addition to an expanded data rate range (9.6 Kbps to 8.448 Mbps
compared to the RCS5000's 64 Kbps to 8.448 Mbps), the RCS-10 offers an improved
display and menu structure and more options.
4
<PAGE>
The market acceptance of the RCS-10 is demonstrated by the $1,506,000 (31%
of revenues) in sales for the six- month period ended December 31, 1996, its
inaugural period.
DMD-4500 IBS/IDR SATELLITE MODEM
This standard satellite modem provides selectable functions for Intelsat
IDR, IBS and closed network services and is easily programmable by earth station
personnel. Data rates may be selected in 8 Kbps steps between 48 Kbps and 8.448
Mbps. The DMD-4500 can be used with a variety of redundancy switches and other
options. As this modem is based on some of Radyne's older technology and is
accordingly yielding to newer Radyne products, sales have decreased from
$1,780,000 (46% of revenues) in the year ended June 30, 1996 to $628,000 (13% of
revenues) in the six months ended December 31, 1996.
DMD-2400 SATELLITE MODEM
The DMD-2400 is a low cost, light weight (8 pounds), fast acquisition (under
1 second) modem. It is capable of data rates ranging from 2.4 Kbps to 1.6 Mbps
in steps of 1 Bps. Digital signal processing eliminates virtually all on-board
adjustments. This modem is designed to perform as both ends of a single channel
per carrier link or as a VSAT remote site modem in a hub system. Its other
applications include video conferencing, long distance learning, paging and news
gathering.
Sales of the DMD-2400 have increased from $215,000 (6% of revenues) in the
year ended June 30, 1996 to $1,150,000 (23% of revenues) for the six-month
period ended December 31, 1996.
DVB-3000 DIGITAL BROADCAST MODULATOR
The DVB-3000 is a flexible, programmable digital video satellite modulator
offering full compatibility with digital video standards. Its principal
applications are for digital video hub uplinks, mobile satellite news gathering,
video distribution and one-way data distribution. The DVB-3000 is high speed,
offering programmable data rates ranging from 1.0 to 30.0 Mbps and fixed data
rates of 30 to 50 Mbps. It is also frequency agile with a base range of 50 to 90
MHz and an optional range of 100 to 180 MHz in steps of 1.0 Hz.
Sales of the DVB-3000 have increased from $16,000 (less than 1% of revenues)
in the year ended June 30, 1996 to $601,000 (12% of revenues) for the six months
ended December 31, 1996.
CONVERTERS, TRANSLATORS AND OTHER MICROWAVE PRODUCTS
Radyne has a complete line of synthesized frequency up converters and down
converters. The SFC6400 C-Band Up Converter converts data or video signals in
the IF range of 50-180 MHz to uplink frequencies between 5.845 and 6.420 Ghz.
The SFC4200 C-Band Down Converter converts microwave carriers in the 3.62 to
4.20 GHz range to the IF range of 50-180 MHz. The Company believes that its
SFC1450 Ku-Band Upconverter and the SFC1275G Ku-Band Global Downconverter offer
low phase noise, superior standard transmit output compression and the only
downconverter to receive data and detect carrier power simultaneously. The
SFC1468 Tri-Band Synthesized Up Converter is capable of converting signals in
the IF range of 50-180 MHz to C, X and Ku band microwave uplink carriers. The
SFC1274G Tri-Band Synthesized Down Converter does the reverse.
The Company also offers a full line of Loop Test Translators, including
C-Band, Ku-Band, X-Band and Tri-Band models. These are self contained frequency
converters which perform transmit to receive loopback testing of earth station
equipment.
The Company's sales of microwave products increased from $203,000 in the
year ended June 30, 1996 to $451,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's products are to a certain extent assembled and tested at its
Phoenix, Arizona facilities using subsystems and circuit boards supplied by
subcontractors. Although the Company believes that it maintains adequate stock
to reduce the procurement lead time for certain components, the Company's
products use a number of specialized chips and customized components or
subassemblies produced by a limited number of suppliers. In light of previous
financial difficulties, Radyne has experienced some inflexibility on the part of
certain suppliers in regard to credit terms for delivered components. In the
event that such suppliers were to be unable or unwilling to fulfill the
Company's requirements, the Company could experience an interruption in
production until an alternative source of supply was developed. The Company
maintains an inventory of certain chips and components and subassemblies to
limit the potential for such an interruption. The Company believes that there
are a number of companies capable of providing replacements for the types of
unique chips and customized components and subassemblies used in its products.

<PAGE>
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company sells its products through international representatives,
distributors and systems integrators which are supported by the Company's sales
and marketing personnel. In-house direct sales by the Company are targeted
toward large accounts, new accounts and the establishment of distributors in new
markets. The Company has recently established new distribution or representation
arrangements in the Middle East, South America, Asia and the Pacific Rim.
The Company has an informal marketing arrangement with Agilis Communication
Technologies Pte Ltd, an affiliate of ST and the General Manager of which is a
director of the Company. Under this arrangement, Agilis acts as Radyne's sales
agent for several countries in Asia. During the first seven months of this
arrangement, which was entered into prior to the Company's affiliation with ST,
Agilis produced over $650,000 of orders for Radyne products.
The Company's direct sales force is comprised of 5 individuals in the
marketing department, supported by systems and applications engineers. Direct
sales activities are focused on expanding the Company's international sales by
identifying emerging markets and establishing new distributor accounts.
Additionally, the Company directly targets certain major accounts which may
provide entry into new markets or lead to subsequent distribution arrangements.
Such major accounts tend to be telecommunications agencies and major
corporations in new international markets. The Company has a customer service
and support group, which primarily supports distributors and is responsible for
after-sale support and installation supervision. In certain instances the
Company uses third party companies for installation and maintenance.
Significant customers for the periods ended as indicated were as follows:

</TABLE>
Export sales, as a percentage of total net sales, were about 45% for the ten
and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994, approximately 46% in the six
and one half month period ended June 30, 1995, about 50% in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, and approximately 66% for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996. The Company believes that this figure may rise in subsequent
periods. The Company considers its ability to continue to make sales in
developing markets to be important to its growth potential. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will succeed in its efforts to cultivate such
markets.

<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The Company has a number of major competitors in the satellite
communications field. These include large companies, such as Hughes Network
Systems, NEC, the EFData division of California Microwave and Spar Aerospace,
which have significantly larger and more diversified operations and greater
financial, marketing, human and other resources than Radyne. The Company
estimates that the major competitors in the main markets in which it operates
have the following market shares as compared to the Company's share:
<TABLE>

SSE/Fairchild.......... 10 0 15 0
Comquest............... 0 0 0 20
Radyne................. 5 25 15 1
</TABLE>
The Company does not believe that any other single competitor has a greater
than 10% market share for any of these product classes. However, the foregoing
market share figures represent estimates based on the limited information
available to the Company, and there can be no assurance of precision.
The Company believes that it has been able to compete by concentrating
its sales efforts in the international market, utilizing the resources of
local distributors, and by emphasizing product features. However, most of the
Company's competitors offer products which have one or more features or
functions similar to those offered by the Company. The Company believes that
the quality, performance and capabilities of its products, its ability to
customize certain network functions and the relatively lower overall cost of
its products, as compared to the costs generally offered by the Company's
major competitors, have contributed to Radyne's ability to compete
successfully. However, the Company's major competitors have the resources
available to develop products with features and functions competitive with or
superior to those offered by the Company. There can be no assurance that such
competitors will not successfully develop such products or that the Company
will be able to maintain a lower cost advantage for its products. Moreover,
there can be no assurance that the Company will not experience increased
competition in the future from these or other competitors currently unknown.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 12, 1997, the Company had 60 full time employees, including two
executive officers, 43 in engineering, manufacturing and marketing operations,
and 5 in administration. None of the Company's employees are represented by a
union or governed by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes
that its relations with its employees are satisfactory.
TECHNOLOGY
The Company believes that improvement of existing products, reliance upon
trade secrets, copyrights and unpatented proprietary know-how and the
development of new products are generally as important as patent protection in
establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. Because patents often
provide only narrow protection which may not provide a competitive advantage in
areas of rapid technological change and because patent applications require
public disclosure of information which may otherwise be subject to trade secret
protection, Radyne has not obtained, and has no present intention to obtain,
patents on existing products. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company's technology will not be found to infringe upon the intellectual
property of others. If the Company's technology should be found to impermissibly
utilize the intellectual property of others, the Company's ability to utilize
the technology could be materially restricted or prohibited. In such event, the
Company might be required to obtain licenses from third parties to utilize the
patents or proprietary rights of others. No assurance can be given that any
licenses required could be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company or at
all. In addition, in such event, the Company could incur substantial costs in
defending itself against infringement claims made by third parties or in
enforcing its own intellectual property rights.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's sole office and production facility consists of a 16,337
square foot facility in Phoenix, Arizona. This facility is leased at an annual
cost of approximately $88,000. The lease expires on March 30, 1998, subject to a
two-year renewal option. The Company believes this facility is adequate for its
present needs and that alternative space should be available as required.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the three
months ended December 31, 1996. At a "Special Meeting of Shareholders" held on
January 8, 1997, the Company's shareholders voted: i) For an amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the preemptive rights
accorded shareholders under Section 622 of the New York Business Corporation Law
with respect to the purchase of securities of the Company, ii) For a 1-for-5
reverse split of the Company's currently outstanding common stock, iii) For all
of the nominated members of the Board of Directors (See "DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES"), and iv) For the ratification of the selection of
DELOITTE AND TOUCHE, LLP as the independant auditors of the Company.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market under
the OTC Bulletin Board symbol "RADN" (prior to the Reverse Split, the symbol was
"RDYN"). However, there is no established trading market as actual transactions
are infrequent. The following table sets forth the range of high and low trading
prices as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. for the periods
indicated. It should be noted that these quotations relate almost entirely to
periods prior to the Reverse Split. All pre-split quotations have accordingly
been multiplied by 5. At December 9, 1996, the Company had approximately 550
shareholders of record. The Company believes that the number of beneficial
owners is actually in excess of 1,600, due to the fact that a large number of
shares are held in street name.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
In reviewing the following material, the reader should take note of the fact
that the respective periods being compared are of various durations. This is due
to several changes in the Company's fiscal year. Prior to bankruptcy, the
predecessor company's fiscal year was from February 1 to January 31. Upon
emergence from bankruptcy on December 16, 1994, the predecessor company's fiscal
year ended on that date, thus creating a ten and one-half month fiscal period
from February 1 through December 16, 1994. The adoption of the fiscal year of
the Company's new parent (ETS) at that time created a fiscal period from
December 17, 1994 through June 30, 1995, followed by a full year ended June 30,
1996. Upon becoming a subsidiary of ST in August of 1996, the Company adopted
ST's fiscal year (the calendar year), creating a stub fiscal period from July 1
through December 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED
JUNE 30, 1996.
The Company's net sales increased 28% to $4,905,000 during the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $3,830,000 during the twelve months ended
June 30, 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to the introduction of
the Company's new product lines which have experienced exceptional market
acceptance. Volume in terms of units sold has increased with sales of products
introduced since July 1, 1995 increasing from $434,000 for the period ended June
30, 1996 to $3,477,000 for the period ended December 31, 1996.
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 83%
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from 67% for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996. Adjustments to inventory of approximately $475,000 (10% of sales)
for obsolescence, of which $350,000 was related to the introduction of new
products (which essentially rendered one entire older product line obsolete),
and $340,000 (7% of sales) for start-up costs related to the introduction of new
products are included in the cost of sales. These products include a new
generation modem sub-system which makes use of the Company's proprietary
technology from older products while adding features and reducing future
manufacturing costs. Also, the Company has introduced and shipped the new
"Digital Video Broadcast" modem which has experienced exceptional acceptance in
the marketplace. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of sales were freight charges related to international sales (2% of
sales) and higher than anticipated warranty expense on some of the Company's
older products (1% of sales).
The Company is obligated to pay royalties to Merit Microwave, Inc. ("Merit")
on sales of certain translator products developed by Merit. The royalty rate
ranges from five to ten percent of the selling price. During the period ended
December 31, 1996, the Company paid $2,200 for royalty expenses, which were
included in direct cost of goods sold.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to $1,438,000 or 29% of
sales during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $1,844,000 or 48% of
sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in expenses was
primarily attributable to the decreased time frame of the current period over
the prior period and partially offset by increased costs related to the higher
level of business that the Company experienced during the current period.
The Company recorded an "asset impairment charge" of $421,000 during the
period to reflect a valuation adjustment to Designs and Drawings which were
partially impaired due to the introduction of new product lines. The valuation
of designs and drawings is the result of adjustments made by the Company to
adopt Fresh Start reporting in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position
("SOP") 90-7, FINANCIAL REPORTING BY ENTITIES IN REORGANIZATION UNDER THE
BANKRUPTCY CODE, and represents the excess reorganization value that has been
applied to the acquired technology supporting the Company's products (Note 3 to
the Financial Statements). Amortization of designs and drawings is computed
using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of four to seven
years. The remaining asset
10
<PAGE>
carries a net book value of $702,000 and will be amortized using the straight-
line method over the remaining estimated useful life of two to five years.
Research and development expenditures decreased to $808,000 (16% of sales)
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $1,795,000 (47% of sales) for
the twelve months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in expenses was primarily
attributable to the decreased time frame of the current period relative to the
prior period. Additionally, the Company had embarked on a major development
program during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, in order to regain a
competitive posture after two fiscal periods during which the Company had made
no development effort.
Interest expense net of interest income decreased to $256,000 (5% of sales)
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $257,000 (7% of sales) for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The small decrease in expense was primarily
attributable to the decreased time frame of the current period as compared to
the prior period, offset by additional interest from the Company's increased
debt level.
For the period ended December 31, 1996, the Company did not provide for
income taxes, due to the net loss. The Company also did not provide for income
taxes for the twelve month period ended June 30, 1996, due to net operating
losses.
For the six month period ended December 31, 1996, the Company had a net loss
of ($2,070,000) as compared with a net loss of ($2,625,000) in the twelve month
period ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
decreased time frame of the current period relative to the prior period as
partially offset by the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales and
the expenses of increased business activity, as discussed above.
"New Orders Booked" (firm, fixed orders from customers) for the six months
ended December 31, 1996 were $5,939,000 as compared to $4,184,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996. The Company's "Backlog" of orders to be shipped (orders
from the prior period which had not yet been shipped plus New Orders Booked less
orders shipped during the period) was $2,473,000 as of December 31, 1996, an
increase of 72% over the $1,439,000 in Backlog as of June 30, 1996. The
Company's Backlog consists of firm orders as evidenced by written contracts
and/or purchase orders from customers.
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial
items used in the discussion below:

The Company's net sales increased 105% to $4,905,000 during the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $2,397,000 during the six month period ended
December 31, 1995. This increase is primarily attributable to the introduction
of the Company's new product lines. Volume in terms of units sold has increased
with sales of products introduced since July 1, 1995 increasing from $183,000
for the period ended December 31, 1995 to $3,477,000 for the period ended
December 31, 1996.
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 83%
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from 62% for the six months ended
December 31, 1995. Adjustments to inventory of approximately $475,000 (10% of
sales) for obsolescence, of which $350,000 was related to the introduction of
new products (which essentially rendered one entire older product line
obsolete), and $340,000 (7% of sales) for start-up costs related to the
introduction of new products are included in the cost of sales for the current
period as described above. Also contributing to the increase in cost of sales as
a percentage of sales were freight charges related to international sales (2% of
sales) and higher than anticipated warranty expenses on some of the Company's
older products (1% of sales).
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $1,438,000 or 29% of
sales during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $846,000 or 35% of
sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in expenses was
primarily attributable to the higher level of business that the Company
experienced during the current period.
The Company recorded an "asset impairment charge" of $421,000 during the
period, as described above.
Research and development expenditures increased to $808,000 (16% of sales)
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $588,000 (25% of sales) for
the six months ended December 31, 1995, as the Company's development program,
which commenced in the earlier period, continued at an even stronger pace.
Interest expense net of interest income increased to $256,000 (5% of sales)
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $71,000 (3% of sales) for the
six months ended December 31, 1995. The increase was due to the Company's
increased debt level.
11
<PAGE>
For the period ended December 31, 1996, the Company did not provide for
income taxes, due to the net loss. The Company also did not provide for income
taxes for the six month period ended December 31, 1995, due to net operating
losses.
For the six month period ended December 31, 1996, the Company had a net loss
of ($2,070,000) as compared with a net loss of ($584,000) in the six month
period ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales and the expenses of increased
business activity, as discussed above.
New Orders Booked for the six months ended December 31, 1996 were $5,939,000
as compared to $1,525,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. The
Company's Backlog of orders to be shipped was $2,473,000 as of December 31,
1996, a more than sixfold increase over the $213,000 in Backlog as of December
31, 1995.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX AND ONE-HALF MONTH PERIOD
ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
The Company's net sales increased 206% to $3,830,000 during the period ended
June 30, 1996 from $1,861,000 during the six and one-half months ended June 30,
1995 primarily due to the increased time frame of the period being reported upon
herein over the prior period.
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 67%
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 from 66% for the six and one-half
months ended June 30, 1995.
Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $1,844,000 or 48% of
sales during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 from $961,000 or 52% of sales
for the six and one-half months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in expenses
was primarily attributable to the increased time frame of the current period
over the prior period.
Research and development expenditures increased to $1,795,000 during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 from $-0- for the six and one-half months ended
June 30, 1995. The Company embarked on a major development program during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, in order to regain a competitive posture after
two fiscal periods during which the Company had made no development effort.
Interest expense net of interest income increased to $257,000 (7% of sales)
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 from $36,000 (2% of sales) for the
six and one-half months ended June 30, 1995, due primarily to increased
borrowings.
For the period ended June 30, 1996, the Company did not provide for income
taxes, due to the net loss. The Company also did not provide for income taxes
for the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995, due to net operating
losses.
For the twelve month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss
of ($2,625,000) as compared with a net loss of ($365,000) in the period ended
June 30, 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased level of
research and development expenditures and interest expense along with the
increased time frame of the period being reported upon over the prior period.
SIX AND ONE-HALF MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO TEN AND ONE-
HALF MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 16, 1994 (PREDECESSOR COMPANY)
In March, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to end the
predecessor company's fiscal year that began February 1, 1994 on December 16,
1994, the date on which the Company's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the Board of Directors resolved
to end the Company's fiscal year on June 30 for all ensuing periods.
The Company's net sales decreased 28% to $1,861,000 during the six and
one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 from $2,569,000 during the period
ended December 16, 1994. The decrease in sales was partially attributable to
the filing of bankruptcy in April 1994 and the lack of credit from vendors to
supply product to the Company. Additionally, there were customer delays in
placing orders in anticipation of the Company's next generation of satellite
modems, which were expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 1994,
but because of the bankruptcy filing, were introduced in the first quarter of
1995.
The Company's cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 66%
during the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 from 87% during
the ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994. The concomitant
increase in gross margin resulted, in part, from the Company's emergence from
bankruptcy.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased to $961,000 during
the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 from $1,658,000 during
the ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994. The reduction was
mainly attributable to the difference in time of the periods being compared.
Research and development expenditures were $-0- during the six and
one-half month period ended June 30, 1995, and $-0- during the ten and
one-half month period ended December 16, 1994.
Interest expense net of interest income decreased to $36,000 during the
six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 from $118,000 during the
ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994.
12
<PAGE>
For the ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994, the
predecessor company incurred $600,000 in professional fees related to its
reorganization, had a fresh start adjustment of $1,599,000, had a gain of
$1,063,000 on the exchange of debt for common stock and had a gain of $1,636,000
on debt forgiveness.
For the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company did
not provide for income taxes, due to the net losses for the year. The
predecessor company also did not provide for income taxes for the prior period
ended December 16, 1994, due to net operating loss carry forwards from prior
years.
For the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company had a
net loss before extraordinary items of ($365,000) as compared with a net loss of
($438,000) in the period ended December 16, 1994. This improvement was due in
part to the reduction in work force and the reduction of debt associated with
the bankruptcy proceeding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital deficit was ($5,852,000) at December 31, 1996;
an increase of $1,769,000 from ($4,083,000) at June 30, 1996 and $4,015,000 from
($1,837,000) at December 31, 1995. The increase in the deficit from June 30,
1996 was due primarily to $1,994,000 of new bank borrowings, a net increase in
borrowings from affiliates of $2,005,000 and an approximately $1,298,000
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by
increases of approximately $186,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,450,000 in
accounts receivable and $841,000 in inventories. The increase in the deficit
from December 31, 1995 was due primarily to $1,994,000 of new bank borrowings, a
net increase in borrowings from affiliates of $3,582,000 and an approximately
$1,411,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially
offset by increases of approximately $140,000 in cash and cash equivalents,
$2,002,000 in accounts receivable and $926,000 in inventories.
Net cash used in operating activities was $3,546,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $2,581,000 used in the year ended June
30, 1996 and $1,120,904 used in the six months ended December 31, 1995. The
principal causes for the difference were the net loss for the period of
$2,070,000 and increases in inventories, prepaid expenses and accounts
receivable, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Management considers these differences to be consistent with the
introduction of new products and the increase in New Orders Booked and Backlog
as discussed above.
Cash used in investing activities, consisting of additions to equipment,
amounted to $255,000 for the period ended December 31, 1996, or approximately
$134,000 less than the amount expended during the period ended June 30, 1996 for
this purpose and $243,000 more than the amount so expended during the six month
period ended December 31, 1995. The Company has no material commitments to make
capital expenditures in 1997 or thereafter.
The Company derived net cash from financing activities of $3,986,000,
$2,969,000 and $1,295,000, respectively, during the six month period ended
December 31, 1996, the one year period ended June 30, 1996 and the six month
period ended December 31, 1995, with the difference resulting from greater net
borrowings during the current period.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company increased its cash balance by
$186,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996, decreased its cash balance
by $1,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996 and increased its cash balance by
$44,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995.
A bank line of credit, in the amount of $2,000,000, was established for the
Company with Bank of America NT&SA, Asian Banking Unit, by Stetsys US, Inc., the
new beneficial owner of 90.67% of the Company's outstanding stock. As of
December 31, 1996, the Company had drawn down $1,994,000 of the available funds
in the form of demand loans which were originally guaranteed by an affiliate of
Stetsys US, Inc. (Note 8 to the Financial Statements). Subsequent to the end of
the current period, this facility was expanded to $5,000,000, a nonbinding
letter of awareness from that affiliate replaced the guarantee, and the amount
drawn down was increased to $3,000,000 as of March 24, 1997. The interest rates
on these loans range from 6.2125% to 7.25% per annum. The Company also has a
$5,500,000 credit facility with Citibank NA with respect to which the same
affiliate of ST has also issued a nonbinding letter of awareness. Subsequent to
the end of the current period, the Company borrowed $400,000, due July 22, 1997
with interest at 6.875%, $2,600,000, due September 30, 1997 with interest at
6.625% per annum, $400,000, due September 30, 1997 with interest at 6.75% per
annum and $400,000, due October 6, 1997, with interest at 6.96875%, under the
Citibank facility.
The Company borrowed $4,500,000 (plus $141,000 in accrued interest) from
Singapore Technologies Electronics Pte Ltd, a related company, the proceeds
from which were used to pay down the loan payable to ETS. An additional
$504,000 of the Company's cash was used to pay the balance of the ETS loan.
This $4,500,000 loan was repaid on February 10, 1997 with the proceeds of the
above described $2,600,000 Citibank loan and the proceeds of a $2,000,000
loan from ST, due April 30, 1997 with interest at 6.625% per annum.
In order to meet its capital needs in the period reported on herein, the
Company obtained additional financing from ST. At December 31, 1996, the Company
had borrowed $2,127,000 (including accrued interest) from ST. The interest on
these short-term loans was paid at maturity and the $2,100,000 in principal
amount was rolled over until April 30, 1997 with interest at 6.625% per annum.
The interest rate on all of the ST loans may be increased by 1% to 7.625% per
annum for any period following a default in payment.
The purpose of all of the above described loans has been to finance or
refinance the capital needs associated with the Company's recent rapid sales and
Backlog growth and the cost of research and development. To date, the Company's
capital resources (as supplemented by loans from ST and its affiliates) have
been sufficient to fund its operations and increased level of business. The
Company believes that the net proceeds from the Rights Offering, along with its
bank credit lines and cash from operations, should be sufficient to fund its
future operations and capital requirements for continued growth through the end
of 1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on
revenues or expenses during the last four fiscal periods reported on herein.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF. SFAS No. 121 addresses issues
surrounding the measurement and recognition of losses when the value of certain
assets has been deemed to be permanently impaired. As a result of SFAS No. 121,
the Company recorded an "Asset Impairment Charge" of $421,000 during the period
to reflect a valuation adjustment to Designs and Drawings which were partially
impaired due to the introduction of new product lines. The valuation of designs
and drawings is the result of adjustments made by the Company to adopt Fresh
Start reporting in accordance with AICPA statement of Position ("SOP") 90-7,
FINANCIAL REPORTING BY ENTITIES IN REORGANIZATION UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, and
represents the excess reorganization value that has been applied to the acquired
technology supporting the Company's products (Note 3 to the Financial
Statements). Amortization of designs and drawings is computed using the
straight-line method over an estimated useful life of four to seven years. The
remaining asset carries a net book value of $702,000 and will be amortized using
the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of two to five
years.
In October 1995, the FASB issued statement No. 123, "ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION", which encourages, but does not require, a fair value
based method of accounting for employee stock options. As permitted under the
new standard, the Company will continue to account for employee stock options
under APB No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES." The pro forma
disclosures required by this standard have been adopted as of July 1, 1996.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Company's financials statements as of December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995 and December 16, 1994 are included in this report as
listed in the Index to Financial Statements in Item 14.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of Merit Microwave, Inc.
("Merit"), as well as the manufacturing rights to the Merit line of microwave
products, which include translators and frequency converters. The purchase price
was allocated to inventory, machinery and equipment, and designs and drawings,
and was paid by the issuance of 30,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(after adjustment by the Reverse Split), cash of $60,000, and the assumption of
a trade payable of $20,000. Under the terms of the agreement, Peter Weisskopf,
the principal shareholder and chief operating officer of Merit entered into a
one-year agreement with the Company to serve as president of the newly created
Radyne Microwave Products Division for annual compensation of $75,000. As long
as he remains in this position, the Company is committed to pay royalties to
Merit of 5-10% of sales of Merit products. Through December 31, 1996, the
Company has paid approximately $4,600 in royalties pursuant to this arrangement.
In July of 1995, the Company's manufacturing operations were transferred to
ETS, then the beneficial owner of 90.67% of the Company's common stock, pending
the Company's relocation to Phoenix.
20
<PAGE>
At that time, $115,155 of machinery and equipment and $726,345 of inventory
was exchanged for a reduction in the Company's indebtedness to ETS. During
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, in recognition of the completion of the
move to Phoenix and increase in staffing, the Board determined that the
Company should resume direct manufacturing. To this end, the Company
repurchased $22,100 of machinery and equipment from ETS during the quarter
and purchased $348,000 of inventory from ETS, which ETS had acquired and/or
processed primarily in the ordinary course of fulfilling purchase orders from
the Company. However, as the Company's product line was undergoing constant
improvement, the Company considered it necessary to treat $70,000 of such
inventory as obsolete and another $20,000 thereof as slow-moving during this
quarter. Ongoing product development rendered another $90,000 of this
inventory obsolete during the subsequent quarter.
Additional inventory of $457,000 and $2,461,500 was purchased from ETS
during the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30,
1996, respectively. Sales to ETS for the six month period ended December 31,
1996, the year ended June 30, 1996, the six and one-half period ended June 30,
1995 and the ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994 were
$307,300, $311,600, $159,700 and $421,100, respectively.
Prior to January 1, 1997, ETS provided management services to Radyne, for
which ETS charged Radyne $60,000, $120,000 and $65,000 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996, the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six and
one-half-month period ended June 30, 1995, respectively.
One of the Company's Directors, Robert A. Grimes, is President and a
Director of ETS. ETS is a wholly owned subsidiary of ST.
The Company has an informal marketing arrangement with Agilis Communication
Technologies Pte Ltd, an affiliate of ST. Agilis acts as a sales agent for
Radyne products in a number of Asian countries. Sales generated as a result of
this arrangement amounted to $375,000 and $118,900 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The
General Manager of Agilis, Chan Wee Piak, is a Director of the Company.
On August 12, 1996, Stetsys US, Inc. ("ST"), a member of the Singapore
Technologies Pte Ltd ("STPL") group, acquired 100% of the outstanding common
stock of ETS. (ST is a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of Stetsys Pte Ltd,
which is a wholly owned subsidiary of STPL. STPL is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, which is in turn wholly owned
by the Minister for Finance (Incorporated) of Singapore). Messrs. Lim Ming
Seong, Lee Yip Loi, Chan Wee Piak and Robert A. Grimes are all both Directors of
the Company and officers of other corporations in the STPL group. On October 22,
1996, Radyne Florida was merged into ETS and the shares of the Company that had
been owned by Radyne Florida were received by ETS and subsequently distributed
by ETS to ST.
On August 12, 1996, Singapore Technologies Electronics Pte Ltd ("STE"),
another member of the STPL group, made an unsecured loan of $4,500,000 to the
Company, the proceeds from which were used to pay down the loan payable to ETS.
This loan, which bore interest at 8%, was repaid on February 10, 1997 from the
proceeds of loans provided by Citibank NA and ST. Between November 8 and
December 18, 1996, ST made loans to the Company in the aggregate principal
amount of $2,100,000, with interest at 8% per annum and maturing in March, 1997.
At or about maturity, the accrued interest on these loans was paid by the
Company and the principal amounts were repaid with the proceeds of new loans
maturing on April 30, 1997. As a result, there are the following outstanding
loans by ST to the Company, totaling $4,100,000, which are planned to be repaid
with proceeds of the Rights Offering:

</TABLE>
The purpose of these advances by STE and ST was to provide Radyne with
working capital pending the arrangement of suitable commercial credit lines and
completion of the Rights Offering. A $2,000,000 line of credit from Bank of
America NT & SA, which had been guaranteed by STPL, has recently been expanded
to $5,000,000 (of which $3,000,000 had been drawn down as of March 24, 1997);
the guarantee has been replaced by a nonbinding letter of awareness from STPL.
The Company also has a $5,500,000 line of credit from Citibank NA (of which
$3,800,000 had been drawn down as of April 9, 1997) with respect to which STPL
has issued a nonbinding letter of awareness.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Radyne Corp.
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Radyne Corp. (the
"Company" or "Radyne") as of December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' capital deficiency and cash
flows for the six month period ended December 31, 1996, the year ended June 30,
1996, the six and one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 and the ten and
one-half month period ended December 16, 1994 (Predecessor Company). These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about 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.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the accompanying financial statements,
on December 16, 1994, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of New York entered an order confirming the plan of reorganization
which became effective at the close of business on December 16, 1994.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements for the six and one-half
month period ended June 30, 1995, are the initial financial statements of the
post-bankruptcy Company, and have been prepared in conformity with AICPA
Statement of Position 90-7, FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR ENTITIES IN REORGANIZATION
UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and June
30, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996, the year ended June 30, 1996, the six and one-
half month period ended June 30, 1995 and the ten and one-half month period
ended December 16, 1994 (Predecessor Company) in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS--Radyne Corp. (the "Company" or "Radyne") is
located in Phoenix, Arizona and designs, manufactures, and sells products,
systems, and software used for the transmission and reception of data over
satellite and cable communication networks. A wholly-owned subsidiary,
Satellite Digital Systems Corp. ("SDSC"), which was inactive and had no
material assets and liabilities, filed a petition for liquidation under
Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York on May 17, 1995. This
did not have any significant impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company since SDSC had terminated all operations. SDSC
received its Final Decree of Bankruptcy on August 5, 1995, which effectively
dissolved SDSC.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy proceedings on December 16, 1994, (Note 2)
the Company became a majority-owned subsidiary of Radyne, Inc., which was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Engineering and Technical Services, Inc. ("ETS").
On August 12, 1996, Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd ("STPL") acquired 100% of
the outstanding common stock of ETS through its indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary, Stetsys US, Inc. ("ST"). The purchase price for the ETS stock was
$5,756,425. Subsequent to the acquisition of ETS by ST, Radyne, Inc. was
merged into ETS which in turn distributed all of its Radyne shares to ST. ETS
did not push down any related purchase accounting adjustments since its
ownership in the Company was less than 95%. As a result, the accompanying
financial statements continue to reflect the historical accounts of the
Company. The Company changed its fiscal year-end to December 31 to conform to
the year-end of ST.
Change in Fiscal Year-Effective August 12, 1996, the Company changed its
fiscal year-end from June 30 to December 31 to conform to the year-end of ST.
Summarized unaudited financial information for the six months ended December
31, 1995 is as follows:
Net sales....................................................... $2,397,235
Gross profit.................................................... 921,951
Net loss before income taxes.................................... (583,887)
Income taxes.................................................... -0-
Net loss........................................................ (583,887)
Net loss per common share....................................... (.16)
RIGHTS OFFERING--In November 1996, the Board of Directors approved the
distribution to stock-holders (other than ST), subject to the approval of the
1-for-5 reverse stock split of common shares which was effective on January
9, 1997, of subscription rights to purchase up to 215,833 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. The Board of Directors
further approved the distribution of subscription rights to an affiliate of
ST to purchase up to 2,040,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $2.50 per share. The subscription rights are proposed to expire May
15, 1997. At December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded $75,018 of deferred
offering costs relating to the registration of these rights. All per share
information in these financial statements has been adjusted to give effect to
the 1-for-5 reverse split of common shares.
CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers all money market accounts with a
maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of
product.
INVENTORIES, consisting of satellite modems and related products, are
valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, including
material, direct labor, and overhead costs.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT is stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, and improvements which
extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Depreciation and
amortization of machinery and equipment are computed using the straight-line
method over an estimated useful life of five to seven years.

supporting the Company's products (Note 3). Amortization of designs and
drawings is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful
life of four to seven years.
At December 31, 1996, the Company recognized a design and drawing
impairment charge of $421,000, with no associated tax benefit. With the
introduction of new products in October 1996, management determined that a
portion of the technology related to the original designs and drawings would
be phased out or modified with technology used in new products. Impairment
was determined by comparing the amount of undiscounted projected future cash
flows attributable to each product using the related technology to the
carrying value of the asset. Projected future cash flows were estimated for a
period approximating the estimated remaining lives of the long lived assets,
based on products' earnings history, market conditions and assumptions
reflected in internal operating plans and strategies.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT--The cost of research and development is charged
to expense as incurred.
INCOME TAXES--Radyne files a consolidated federal income tax return with
ETS and ST. Income taxes have been computed as if the Company filed separate
income tax returns for each year.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
consequences attributed to differences between the consolidated financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Differences between income for financial and tax
reporting purposes arise primarily from amortization of certain designs and
drawings and accruals for warranty reserves and compensated absences.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--The Company maintains ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The
Company provides reserves for potential credit losses and such losses have
not exceeded management's expectations.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each of the periods presented. Such amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the 1-for-5 reverse stock split that occurred on January 9, 1997.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The fair value of accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates the carrying
value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Management has
estimated that the fair values of the loan payable to affiliates, the demand
obligation, capital lease obligations, and taxes payable approximate the
current balances outstanding, based on currently available rates for debt
with similar terms.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. REORGANIZATION
On April 28, 1994, Radyne Corp. (the "Predecessor Company") filed a
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. Under
Chapter 11, certain claims against the Predecessor Company in existence prior
to the filing were stayed while the Predecessor Company continued business
operations as debtor-in-possession. Claims secured against the Predecessor
Company's assets were also stayed, although the holders of such claims had
the right to move the Court for relief from the stay prior to the plan being
confirmed. Secured claims were secured primarily by liens on all of the
Predecessor Company's assets.
The Predecessor Company received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to
pay certain of its prepetition obligations, employee wages and benefits. Tax
claims were rescheduled for payment in equal quarterly installments of
$9,600, with interest at 7% through September 2000.
On December 16, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Predecessor
Company's Plan of Reorganization effective at the close of business on
December 16, 1994 (Note 3).
3. FRESH START REPORTING
Under the provision of SOP 90-7, the Successor Company was required to
adopt Fresh Start reporting as of the close of business on December 16, 1994,
because the reorganization value of the Predecessor Company was less than the
total of all post-petition liabilities and prepetition allowed claims, and
the preconfirmation stockholders retained less than 50% of the Successor
Company's common stock. Accordingly, the financial statements for the six and
one-half month period ended June 30, 1995 are the initial financial
statements of Radyne Corp., the Successor Company.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In June 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of Merit Microwave,
Inc., as well as the manufacturing rights to the Merit line of microwave
products, which include translators and frequency converters. The purchase
price of approximately $120,000 was allocated to inventory and machinery and
equipment, and was paid by the issuance of 30,000 shares of the Company's
stock ($40,000), cash of $60,000, and the assumption of a payable of $20,000.
Under the terms of the agreement, the principal stockholder and chief
operating officer of Merit entered into a one-year agreement with the Company
to serve as president of the newly created Radyne Microwave Products Division
for annual compensation of $75,000. In addition, the Company is required to
pay royalties to Merit of 5-10% on certain sales of microwave products. From
June 1995 to December 31, 1996, the Company paid royalties of $4,600.
In July 1995, the Company's manufacturing operations were moved to ETS
pending the Company's relocation to Phoenix. As a result, the Company
transferred $726,345 of inventory and $115,155 of machinery and equipment to
ETS in exchange for an equal reduction in the loan payable to ETS, to
facilitate the commencement of subcontract manufacturing by ETS. During
September 1996, in recognition of the completion of the move to Phoenix and
increase in staffing, the Board of Directors determined that the Company
should resume direct manufacturing. To this end, the Company repurchased
$22,100 of machinery and equipment from ETS and was obligated to purchase
$348,000 of inventory from ETS, which ETS had acquired and or processed in
the ordinary course of fulfilling purchase orders from the Company. However,
as the Company's products were undergoing constant improvement, in September
1996, the Company considered it necessary to treat $70,000 of such inventory
as obsolete and another $20,000 thereof as slow-moving. Ongoing product
development rendered another $90,000 of this inventory obsolete shortly
thereafter. Additional inventory of $457,000 and $2,461,500 was purchased
from ETS during the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year
ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Sales to ETS for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996, the year ended June 30, 1996, the six and one-half
month period ended June 30, 1995 and the ten and one-half month period ended
December 16, 1994 were $307,300, $311,600, $159,700 and $421,100,
respectively.
The Company has an informal marketing arrangement with Agilis
Communication Technologies Pte Ltd, an affiliate of ST, whereby Agilis acts
as a sales agent for Radyne products in a number of Asian countries. Sales
generated as a result of this agreement amounted to $375,000 and $118,900 for
the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30,
1996, respectively.
ETS provided management services to Radyne, for which ETS charged Radyne
$60,000, $120,000 and $65,000 for the six month period ended December 31,
1996, the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six and one-half month period
ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

Interest expense on notes payable to affiliates was $205,900 and $248,400
for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30,
1996, respectively, of which $152,400 was included in accrued expenses in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1996.
During August 1996, an ST affiliate made an unsecured loan of $4,500,000
to the Company, the proceeds from which were used to pay down the note
payable to ETS which was outstanding as of June 30, 1996. Subsequent to
December 31, 1996, the Company repaid the $4,500,000 note payable with the
proceeds from a $2,000,000 note payable to ST. The note bears interest at
6.625% per annum with the principal due on April 30, 1997. The interest rate
increases to 7.625% if the principal is not paid on the required due date.
The remaining $2,500,000 was borrowed from the new $5,500,000 credit
agreement as discussed in Note 8. In addition, the maturities on the $400,000
and the $1,700,000 notes payable were extended to April 30, 1997. In
connection with the extension of the maturity date, the interest rate was
adjusted to 6.625% per annum. The interest rate on this note increases to
7.625% if the principal is not paid on the required due date. The Company
expects to repay the notes payable to ST with the proceeds from the Rights
Offering (Note 1).
8. NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has a note payable under a line of credit agreement with a
bank that permits outstanding borrowings of $2,000,000 with interest payable
at LIBOR (6.275%--6.4% at December 31, 1996). The line of credit agreement
expires in April 1997. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, available borrowings
on the line of credit were increased to $5,000,000.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company entered into a new
$5,500,000 credit agreement with a bank that includes $5,000,000 available
under an uncommitted line of credit facility and facilities for bank
guarantees and/or standby letters of credit up to $500,000. STPL has issued a
nonbinding letter of awareness in connection with this credit agreement.
Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal
to LIBOR or alternative Citibanks Quoted Rate plus 1% per annum. The credit
agreement requires the Company to capitalize at least $4,100,000 of its notes
payable to affiliates not later than March 31, 1997 and also requires that
the Company maintains certain financial leverage ratios. The availability of
additional borrowings under the credit agreement expires June 30, 1997.

At December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $10,443,000 expiring in various years through 2012 and general
business credit carryforwards of $210,000 expiring in various years through
2004 for utilization against taxable income/taxes payable of future periods,
if any. Approximately $6,200,000 of the Company's net operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Internal
Revenue Code Section 382, in future years, as a result of changes in
ownership of the Company's stock. The annual limitation is generally equal to
the value of the corporation's equity immediately prior to the change in
ownership, times the federal long-term tax exempt rate published by the
federal government. Management believes that the inability to utilize net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income
within the carryforward periods under existing tax laws and regulations is
more likely than not. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been
recorded against the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 1996 and June
30, 1996.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a qualified contributory 401(k) plan that covers all
employees who have attained the age of 18 and are employed at the enrollment
date. Matching contributions were $8,576, $11,606 and $1,159 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996, the year ended June 30, 1996 and the six and
one-half month period ended June 30, 1995, respectively. There was no matching
contribution for the ten and one-half month period ended December 16, 1994.
Each participant may elect to contribute up to 15% of his or her gross
compensation up to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Company matches up to 1% of the employee's salary.
14. STOCK OPTIONS
In November 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the 1996 Incentive Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders on January 8,
1997. The Plan provides for the grant of options to employees of the Company
to purchase up to 1,282,042 shares of common stock. The option price per share
under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the stock (110%
of the fair market value for an optionee who is a 10% stockholder) on the day
the option is granted.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had 964,395 options outstanding at an
exercise price of $2.50 per share. 280,000 of these options are Rights
Options granted to employees of the Company in conjunction with the Rights
Offering and will be exercisable during the Rights Offering but no later than
May 30, 1997. Another 16,000 options are exercisable at the rate of 25% on
each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the
tenth anniversary of the grant date. The remaining 668,395 options have been
allocated among a group of 30 key employees. These options carry the right to
a cash bonus of $1.72 per purchased share, payable upon exercise. One third
of these options will become exercisable, if and when the Company's earnings
before interest and taxes (calculated without regard to any charge for
compensation paid or payable under the Plan) for a period of four calendar
quarters ("EBIT") exceeds $1,000,000. Another one-third of these options will
become exercisable if and when EBIT exceeds $2,500,000 with the remaining
one-third becoming exercisable if and when EBIT exceeds $6,000,000. The
options become exercisable if EBIT exceeds the aforementioned prior to June
30, 2001. All options which become exercisable expire in November 2006.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25
and related interpretations in accounting for its Plan. The 668,395 options
are considered variable options, as defined by the provisions of APB No. 25
and related interpretations. The Company should start recognizing
compensation cost on variable arrangements when the future events become
probable of occurring. The accrual of compensation cost under the variable
arrangement has not commenced as it is unlikely that the award will be earned
in the near future due to significant historical losses incurred by the
Company. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the fixed
or variable portions of the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Plan been
determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's pro forma net
loss and loss per common share would have been $2,115,074 and $.56,
respectively. The fair value of options granted under the Plan was estimated
on the date of grant with vesting periods ranging from two to four years
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 132%,
risk free interest rate of 6.035%, and expected lives of five years.
