(1)     Basis of Presentation

        The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
        Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
        Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods
        shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be
        expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the
        information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make
        the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of
        such operations. For further information, refer to the financial
        statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form
        10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
        ended March 30, 1996.

        Effective July 24, 1996, Giga-tronics merged with ASCOR in a transaction
        accounted for as a "pooling of interests." Accordingly, results for
        prior periods have been re-stated to reflect the acquisition and include
        the results of ASCOR operations.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30 , 1995

Net sales for the three month and six month periods ended September 28, 1996
decreased 7% ($554,000) and 3% ($410,000), respectively, compared to the same
periods last year. The change for the six months was due to a decline in
shipment of RF signal generators and power measurement devices. The three month
change was due to a decline in all three product lines shipping from San Ramon
(i.e., excluding the recent ASCOR acquisition).

Gross profit for the current three month and six month periods decreased 9%
($251,000) and 1% ($33,000), respectively, compared to the same periods last
year. The decrease for the six month and three month periods was primarily due
to sales volume.

Operating expenses for the three month and six month periods decreased 15%
($361,000) and 7% ($331,000), respectively, compared to prior year periods. The
decreases are due to lower advertising, sales commissions and administrative
expenses.

Other income is lower relative to the comparable quarter and six month period
for the prior year because of non-recurring prior year fixed asset sales and an
insurance recovery.

Operating income for the current three month and six month periods were $110,000
and $298,000 higher, respectively, than the comparable periods last year. The
improved results were due to lower operating expenses, and reduced manufacturing
variances (for the six month period), offset somewhat by lower sales volume and
a reduction in other income.

Earnings before income taxes for the current three month and six month periods
were $105,000 and $311,000 higher, respectively, than the comparable periods
last year. The change was favorably impacted by the lower operating expenses,
reduced manufacturing variances (for the six month period), and higher interest
income (due to higher balances of cash, cash equivalents and investments
relative to prior year). These effects were partially offset by lower sales
volume and reduced other income.

Orders for the current quarter were slightly lower than the comparable period
last year. Orders for the six month period were slightly higher than the prior
year six month period. The backlog of unfilled orders as of September 28 is down
significantly from the comparable period last year. The decrease in backlog
results mostly from the decline in microwave signal generator orders. Due to the
softness in order intake, fiscal 1997 revenues will likely be less than fiscal
1996. However, it is projected at

                                                                         PAGE 8


this time that cost reduction activities may offset the unfavorable impact
caused by the decline in revenues.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company maintains a strong financial position, with working capital of
$19,139,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 5.7 at
September 28, 1996. The Company continues to fund all of its working capital
needs from cash flow provided from operations. Cash provided from operations for
the six month period ended September 28, 1996, was $2,173,000. Management
believes that cash reserves and investments remain adequate to meet anticipated
operating needs.

During the six month period, the Company spent $198,000 on new manufacturing and
test equipment and other capital items. The Company will continue to invest in
capital items that support growth and new product development, raise
productivity and improve quality. Historically, the Company has satisfied its
cash needs internally for both operating and capital expenses, and management
expects to continue to do so.

The issuance of common stock was related to exercise of stock options. The
outflow for notes payable was the retirement of debt by ASCOR in September.

Note: These statements contain forward looking information that involves a
number of risks and limitations discussed in more detail in other documents
submitted to the SEC.
