4. SEGMENTS

In June 1997, the FASB introduced SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise  and  Related   Information."   In  conjunction  with  the  Company's
reorganization into business units in January 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No.
131 in fiscal year 1999,  and it will be applied as required to interim  periods
thereafter.  The  adoption  of this  standard  had no  effect  on the  Company's
financial position or results of operations,  but did change the presentation of
segment information as presented below (in thousands):

5. PRO FORMA

On April 19, 1999,  the Company  acquired the  technology  and product rights to
substantially all of Gardiner  Communications Corp.'s ("Gardiner") products, and
manufacturing  and development  related equipment and inventory from Gardiner to
support these product lines. The total purchase price,  including  assumption of
certain liabilities and related costs of the acquisition, was approximately $9.3
million,  of which $3.5  million  relates  to the  acquisition  of  product  and
technology  rights.  The  Company  paid  approximately  $2.8  million in cash on
closing,  and an additional  $3.4 million in cash for  additional  inventory and
equipment in September and October 1999,  the  Company's  third fiscal  quarter.
Gardiner  received a $3.1  million,  8% one year  promissory  note due April 19,
2000.  A  portion  of the debt  can be  converted  into  525,000  shares  of the
Company's common stock at the lower per share conversion price equal to $4.25 or
the average closing sales price of the Company's  common stock for the immediate
twenty  trading days prior to conversion.  As part of the purchase,  the Company
recorded Goodwill of $4.1 million which is being amortized over 15 years.

The following pro forma  combines the  operations of the Company and Gardiner as
if the  acquisition  had  occurred at the  beginning  of each of the  respective
periods (in 000's except per share data):

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 27,1999 AND NOVEMBER 28, 1998

SALES

Sales  increased by $16.6 million,  from $9.7 million for the three months ended
November 28,  1998,  to $26.3  million for the three  months ended  November 27,
1999. Sales of Satellite  products  increased $15.5 million from $3.5 million to
$19 million.  Sales of Wireless Cable  products  decreased by $20,000 from $5.32
million to $5.30  million.  Sales of Antenna  products by Micro Pulse  increased
$1.1 million from $884,000 to $2.0 million.

The  increase  in  sales  of  Satellite  Products  resulted  primarily  from the
Company's entry into the U.S. DBS satellite television market as a result of its
acquisition   of   certain   satellite   television   products   from   Gardiner
Communications in April 1999.

Sales  of  Wireless  Products  were  relatively  flat  on  a  quarter-to-quarter
comparison.  The  international  wireless cable analog video market continued to
decline as capital for subscriber expansion remains difficult to obtain for many
operators.  Domestically and in Canada the Company continues to supply the major
Wireless  Cable digital video  systems,  which offset some of the  international
sales declines.  In addition,  the Company began to ship two-way transceivers to
certain  customers in the U.S. who are initiating  two-way Internet  services to
businesses   and  consumers.   The  Company  does  not  anticipate   significant
improvement in Wireless  product sales,  however,  until Sprint and MCI/WorldCom
finalize their fixed wireless access strategy.

The increase in the sale of Antenna  Products by Micro Pulse resulted  primarily
from sales of Antenna  Products into new wireless markets as the Company focuses
on antenna applications outside the GPS market.

GROSS PROFITS AND GROSS MARGINS

Gross  profits  increased  from $2.8  million  to $6.7  million.  Gross  margins
decreased  from 28.7% to 25.6%.  The increase in gross profit  resulted from the
$16.6   million   increase  in  sales.   The  decrease  in  gross  margins  from
period-to-period resulted primarily from a significant shift in sales mix toward
satellite products as a result of the Gardiner acquisition.

In addition,  there was a sequential decrease in gross margins from 28.2% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2000 as compared to 25.6% for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2000. This decrease was again a result of sales mix toward satellite
products,  but was also attributable to additional  manufacturing and expediting
costs,  including overtime,  and air freight to meet increased satellite product
demand,  and  initial  start-up  costs to  increase  capacity  in the  Company's
Camarillo  facility.  The Company  expects these costs to continue in the fourth
quarter until the Company can better balance production between facilities,  and
its suppliers can meet material schedule requirements.  The Company is currently
on product  allocation  from certain of its  suppliers,  which is impacting  the
Company's ability to optimize production and meet certain shipment deadlines.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development  expenses  increased from $1.1 million to $1.4 million.
The increase  resulted  primarily from increased  development  costs,  primarily
headcount and related costs, to meet increased new product design.

Selling  expenses  increased from $1.0 million to $1.4 million.  The increase in
selling expense relates  primarily to direct selling  expenses such as headcount
and commissions, associated with the significant increase in sales.

General and administrative expenses increased from $1.0 million to $1.4 million.
The increase relates primarily to increased legal expenses relating to the class
action  lawsuit,  incentive  bonus accruals  because of the Company's  return to
profitability,  and  the  amortization  of  goodwill  relating  to the  Gardiner
acquisition.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

Income (loss) from  operations,  for the reasons noted above,  increased by $3.0
million from a loss of $419,000 to income of $2.6 million.

MINORITY INTEREST SHARE IN (INCOME) LOSS OF MICRO PULSE

The minority interest share in (income) loss of Micro Pulse represents the 49.5%
ownership interest's share of the consolidated (income) loss before tax of Micro
Pulse.  Because the Company  owns a 50.5%  controlling  interest,  100% of Micro
Pulse's  sales and  expenses  are  consolidated  in the  Company's  consolidated
statements of operations and the minority interest share of the (income) loss is
reflected as a single line item in the statements of operations.

(PROVISION FOR) BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES

The  (provision  for) benefit from income taxes the three months ended  November
27,  1999 is based  upon an  annualized  tax  rate of 36%,  the same tax rate as
fiscal year 1999. This tax rate assumes savings from benefits allowed for export
sales  through a foreign  sales  corporation  and research and  development  tax
credits

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income (loss), for reasons outlined above,  increased by $1.8 million from a
net loss of $205,000, to net income of $1.6 million.


<PAGE>


NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 27, 1999 AND NOVEMBER 28, 1998

SALES

Sales  increased by $30.8 million,  from $27.1 million for the nine months ended
November 28, 1998, to $57.9 million for the nine months ended November 27, 1999.
Sales of Satellite  products  increased  $30.2  million from $8.8 million to $39
million.  Sales of Wireless Cable products decreased $825,000 from $15.1 million
to $14.3  million.  Sales of Antenna  products  by Micro  Pulse  increased  $1.5
million from $3.2 million to $4.7 million.

The  increase  in  sales  of  Satellite  Products  resulted  primarily  from the
Company's entry into the U.S. DBS satellite television market as a result of its
acquisition   of   certain   satellite   television   products   from   Gardiner
Communications in April 1999.

The decrease in the sale of Wireless Products  resulted from continued  softness
in both domestic and international  Wireless Cable video markets.  Domestically,
wireless  cable  operators are currently not purchasing  significant  amounts of
one-way  video  equipment  as they  finalize a  deployment  strategy for two-way
wireless voice and Internet applications. Internationally, there continues to be
a lack of capital available for system expansion, thereby significantly reducing
the demand for  subscriber  equipment.  The Company  has offset some  decline in
sales of Wireless  Cable video  equipment  with  shipments  of two-way  Internet
access  products.  The Company,  however,  does not anticipate  Wireless  access
products to increase until Sprint and MCI/WorldCom finalize their fixed wireless
access strategy.

The increase in the sale of Antenna  Products by Micro Pulse resulted  primarily
from sales of Antenna  Products into new wireless markets as the Company focuses
on antenna applications outside the GPS market.

GROSS PROFITS AND GROSS MARGINS

Gross profits increased by $8.4 million from $7.5 million to $15.9 million,  and
gross  margins  decreased  from 27.7% to 27.4%.  The  increase  in gross  profit
resulted from the $30.8 million increase in sales. When comparing  periods,  the
lack of improvement  in gross margins with such a significant  increase in sales
was primarily a result of a shift in sales mix toward satellite products,  under
utilization of the Company's  Camarillo  facility,  and excess costs incurred in
the Company's Texas facility (Gardiner),  including expediting costs incurred in
the third quarter associated with the significant increase in satellite products
production.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development  expenses  increased $281,000 from $3.6 million to $3.9
million.  The increase resulted  primarily from headcount  additions and related
costs.

Selling  expenses  increased  $254,000  from $3.5 million to $3.7  million.  The
increase is primarily a result of increased selling related expenses  associated
with the  increase  in sales  offset  by  reductions  in  certain  discretionary
marketing expenses.

General and Administrative expenses increased $570,000 from $3.0 million to $3.6
million.  The increase relates primarily to increased legal expenses relating to
the class action  lawsuit,  incentive  bonus  accruals  because of the Company's
return to  profitability,  and the  amortization  of  goodwill  relating  to the
Gardiner acquisition.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

Income (loss) from operations,  for the reasons  outlined above,  increased $7.3
million, from a loss of $2.6 million to income of $4.7 million.

MINORITY INTEREST SHARE IN (INCOME) LOSS OF MICRO PULSE

The minority interest share in (income) loss of Micro Pulse represents the 49.5%
ownership interest's share of the consolidated (income) loss before tax of Micro
Pulse.  Because the Company  owns a 50.5%  controlling  interest,  100% of Micro
Pulse's  sales and  expenses  are  consolidated  in the  Company's  consolidated
statements of operations and the minority interest share of the (income) loss is
reflected as a single line item in the statements of operations.

(PROVISION FOR) BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes for the nine months of fiscal year
2000 is based upon an  annualized  tax rate of 36%,  the same tax rate as fiscal
year 1999. This tax rate assumes savings from benefits  allowed for export sales
through a foreign sales corporation and research and development tax credits.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

For the reasons  outlined above,  net income (loss) increased from a net loss of
$1.5 million to net income of $2.8 million.


<PAGE>


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a $6.0 million working  capital  facility with Santa Monica Bank
at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at November 27,  1999).  As of November 27, 1999,
$1.5 million was  outstanding  under the credit  facility.  The credit  facility
expires in June 2001.

The Company  believes  that cash flow from  operations,  together with the funds
available under its credit  facility,  are sufficient to support  operations and
capital equipment requirements over the next twelve months.

The  Company  believes  that  inflation  has not had a  material  effect  on its
operations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company's  satellite,  wireless cable, voice and data, and antenna microwave
reception and transceiver products do not contain time or date code applications
and are therefore,  not impacted by the Year 2000 century change.  The Company's
wireless cable scrambling and conditional access system, MultiCipher,  does have
date and time  characteristics  in  microprocessor  embedded software and in its
software interface  applications.  Upgrades to address certain date input issues
in the year 2000 are now  available  to  customers  on a fee basis.  All current
shipments of MultiCipher system head-ends are year 2000 compliant.

The Company's  internal  operations were not significantly  impacted by the Year
2000 century change. As of January 10, 2000 the Company had not been informed by
any  customers or  suppliers  that the Year 2000  century  change  significantly
impacted their operations.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On June 11, 1997,  the Company and certain of its directors and officers had two
legal  actions filed against  them,  one in the United  States  DISTRICT  COURT,
CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA,  ENTITLED YOURISH V. CALIFORNIA AMPLIFIER, INC.,
ET AL., Case No. 97-4293 CBM (Mcx),  and the other in the Superior Court for the
State  of  California,   County  of  VENTURA,  ENTITLED  YOURISH  V.  CALIFORNIA
AMPLIFIER,  INC. ET AL.,  Case No. CIV 173569.  On June 30, 1997,  another legal
action was filed against the same defendants in the Superior Court for the State
of  CALIFORNIA,  COUNTY  OF  VENTURA,  ENTITLED  BURNS,  ET AL.,  V.  CALIFORNIA
AMPLIFIER,  INC., ET AL.,  Case No. CIV 173981.  All three actions are purported
class actions on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of the Company between
September  12, 1995 and August 8, 1996.  The actions  claim that the  defendants
engaged in a scheme to make false and misleading statements and omit to disclose
material adverse facts to the public  concerning the Company,  allegedly causing
the Company's stock price to artificially  rise, and thereby allegedly  allowing
the individual  defendants to sell stock at inflated  prices.  Plaintiffs  claim
that the  purported  stockholder  class was damaged  when the price of the stock
declined upon  disclosure of the alleged  adverse facts.  On September 21, 1998,
the Federal legal action was dismissed in the United States District Court.  The
dismissal  was  upheld by the U.S.  Court of  Appeals  for the Ninth  Circuit on
October 8, 1999.  The State legal action  remains in the Superior  Court for the
State of  California.  The current trial date is March 21, 2000. The Company and
its legal counsel are currently  evaluating the claims.  Based upon the analysis
performed to date, the Company,  its directors and officers,  plan to vigorously
defend themselves against these claims in State court.
