Independent Accountants' Review Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Glenayre Technologies, Inc.
Charlotte, North Carolina


We have  reviewed  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet of
Glenayre  Technologies,  lnc. and  subsidiaries  as of March 31,  1996,  and the
related condensed  consolidated  statement of income, the condensed consolidated
statement of stockholders'  equity and the condensed  consolidated  statement of
cash flows for the  three-month  period  ended March 31, 1996.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We did not make a
similar  review  of  the  condensed   consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Glenayre
Technologies,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of March  31,  1995  and the  related
condensed consolidated statement of income, the condensed consolidated statement
of stockholders' equity and the condensed  consolidated  statement of cash flows
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data, and making  inquiries of persons  responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full
year with the  objective  of  expressing  an  opinion  regarding  the  financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at March
31, 1996, and for the three month period then ended for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards,  the consolidated balance sheet of Glenayre Technologies,  Inc. as of
December  31,  1995,  and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of  income,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the year then  ended  (not  presented
herein) and in our report dated  January 31, 1996,  we expressed an  unqualified
opinion  on  those  consolidated  financial  statements.  In  our  opinion,  the
information set forth in the accompanying  condensed  consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended  December 31, 1996.  The  Company's  financial  results in any quarter are
highly dependent upon various factors, including the timing and size of customer
orders  and the  shipment  of  products  for large  orders.  Large  orders  from
customers  can account  for a  significant  portion of  products  shipped in any
quarter.  Accordingly,  the  shipment of products in  fulfillment  of such large
orders can dramatically affect the results of operations of any single quarter.

In April 1995,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of Western  Multiplex
Corporation  ("MUX"). The operating results of MUX are included in the operating
results of the Company since the acquisition date.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Glenayre Technologies, Inc. Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

       Subsequent to the quasi-reorganization  completed on February 1, 1988, as
       described in Note 4, the benefits derived from the utilization of tax net
       operating loss  carryforwards are reported in the statement of operations
       in the year such tax benefits are  realized  and then  reclassified  from
       retained  earnings  to  contributed  capital.  The  Company  adopted  the
       accounting  method  for  utilization  of  these  tax net  operating  loss
       carryforwards  outlined above on February 1, 1988. On September 28, 1989,
       the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC") released Staff Accounting
       Bulletin No. 86 ("SAB 86") which set forth the SEC staff's  position with
       respect  to this  accounting  treatment.  According  to the  SEC  staff's
       interpretation  of Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 96,
       "Accounting for Income Taxes," contained in SAB 86, realized tax benefits
       should  be  reported  as  a  direct  addition  to  contributed   capital.
       Subsequently,  the Company  consulted  with the SEC staff and  determined
       that the SEC staff  would not object to the  accounting  method  outlined
       above for companies  which had adopted such  accounting  methods prior to
       the issuance of SAB 86.

       If the original  guidance in SAB 86 had been  applied,  the Company's net
       income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 would have been
       reduced  by the  amount  of  the  benefit  from  utilization  of tax  net
       operating  loss  carryforwards.  Such  reduction in net income would have
       been $1.8 million  ($.03 per share) and $3.2 million ($.05 per share) for
       the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       The  Company  believes  that it is more  likely  than  not  that  the net
       deferred tax asset recorded at March 31, 1996 will be fully realized.


4.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       (A)  QUASI-REORGANIZATION

       On February 1, 1988, the Company completed a quasi-reorganization.  After
       determining that the Company's  balance sheet reflected  approximate fair
       value  on  that  date  and  that  revaluation  was  not  necessary,   the
       accumulated  deficit  and  the  cumulative  translation  adjustment  were
       adjusted to zero by  reclassifying  them to  contributed  capital.  A new
       retained earnings account was established as of February 1, 1988.

       (B) STOCK REPURCHASE

       Pursuant  to a stock  repurchase  plan  approved  in 1994 by the Board of
       Directors, the Company repurchased 75,000 shares of its common stock at a
       cost  of  $2.4  million  (shown  as  a  reduction  of  common  stock  and
       contributed capital) in March 1996.

       (C)  INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

       Primary  income per common  share was  computed by dividing net income by
       the weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding  plus
       the shares that would be outstanding  assuming exercise of dilutive stock
       options which are considered to be common stock  equivalents.  The number
       of common  shares that would be issued from the exercise of stock options
       has been  reduced by the number of common  shares that could be purchased
       from the  proceeds at the average  market  price of the  Company's  stock
       during the periods such options  were  outstanding.  The number of shares
       used to compute primary per share data for the three-month  periods ended
       March 31, 1996 and 1995 was 63,727,518 and 59,921,939, respectively.

       For  purposes of the fully  diluted  income per share  computations,  the
       number of shares that could be issued from the exercise of stock  options
       outstanding  at the end of the period  has been  reduced by the number of
       shares which could have been purchased from the proceeds at the higher of
       the market price of the Company's stock on March 31, 1996 and 1995 or the
       average  market prices during the periods such options were  outstanding.
       For those options  exercised  during the period,  the computation for the
       period prior to exercise is based on the market price when the option was
       exercised.  The number of shares used to compute  fully diluted per share
       data  for the  three-month  periods  ended  March  31,  1996 and 1995 was
       63,734,640 and 60,002,791, respectively.

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


BACKGROUND

Glenayre Technologies, Inc. ("Glenayre" or the "Company") designs, manufactures,
markets and services telecommunications  equipment and software used in wireless
personal  communications  systems  throughout the world.  The Company's  product
families  are grouped in either (i) Wireless  Messaging  (paging and narrow band
personal  communication  service  ("NPCS")  products),  or (ii)  Voice  and Data
Technologies  (voice  messaging,  microwave  communication  and radio  telephone
products) categories. Additionally, Glenayre provides service and support to its
products.  In April  1995,  the Company  completed  the  acquisition  of Western
Multiplex  Corporation ("MUX"). The operating results of MUX are included in the
operating results of the Company since the acquisition date.

The  following  discussion  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1995

NET SALES

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996  increased to $89.4  million
from net sales for the three  months ended March 31, 1995 of $59.9  million,  an
increase of $29.5 million,  or 49.3%. Net sales of Wireless  Messaging  products
and Voice and Data products for the three months ended March 31, 1996  increased
to   approximately   $71.9   million  and  $9.7  million,   respectively,   from
approximately  $50.6  million  and $4.6  million,  respectively,  for the  prior
period. The increase in sales was primarily a result of the sales of new systems
and the  continued  expansion  and  upgrading  of  existing  systems  within the
installed  customer  base.  In  the  1996  period,   service  revenue  including
maintenance  contracts,  installation,  project  management and training revenue
increased to  approximately  $7.8 million from $4.7 million for the 1995 period.
Sales to a single customer  totaled  approximately  17% and 28% of net sales for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit  increased to $49.6 million,  or 55.5% of net sales,  for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, from $34.0 million,  or 56.8% of net sales, for the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The minimal change in the gross profit margin
percentage is due to a change in the mix in products shipped and the increase in
fixed  manufacturing  costs  incurred as additional  manufacturing  capacity was
brought on line during the latter half of 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $18.0 million, or 20.1%
of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1996, from $12.0 million,  or
20.0% of net sales,  for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The $6.0 million
increase  primarily  resulted from (i) increased selling and marketing  expenses
for additional  sales personnel  including new  international  sales offices and
associated  travel  and  support  costs and (ii) for  additional  administrative
expense in the 1996 period.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

Research and development costs increased to $6.4 million,  or 7.1% of net sales,
for the three  months ended March 31, 1996,  from $4.7  million,  or 7.8% of net
sales,  for the three months ended March 31, 1995,  an increase of $1.7 million,
or 35.2%.  The  increase of $1.7  million was  primarily a result of  additional
personnel and component materials to work on product development (including NPCS
and wireline  extender  products) and  enhancements to existing  products.  Both
hardware and software development costs are included in research and development
costs. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

Depreciation  and amortization  expense  increased to $3.1 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1996 from $1.6  million for the three months ended March
31,  1995.  The  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to (i)  the  significant
purchases of plant and equipment during the calendar year 1995 and (ii) goodwill
related to the acquisition of MUX in April 1995.

INTEREST INCOME, NET

The Company  realized net  interest  income of $2.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996  compared to net interest  income  realized of $1.9 million
for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995.   The  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to  higher  average  balances  in cash  and cash  equivalents  and
short-term investments.

INCOME TAXES

The difference between the combined U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate of
approximately 40% and the effective tax rate of 30.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 22.0% for the three  months ended March 31, 1995 is primarily
the result of the utilization of the Company's net operating losses ("NOLs") and
the  application  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109,
"Accounting  for Income  Taxes"  ("SFAS  109"),  in computing  the Company's tax
provision.  The  difference  between the effective tax rate of 30.0% in 1996 and
22.0% in 1995 is  primarily  the result of a variance  between the 1996 and 1995
adjustments for realization of tax benefits of net operating loss  carryforwards
for financial  statement  purposes in accordance  with SFAS 109 primarily due to
revisions  during each period to the estimated  future taxable income during the
Company's loss  carryforward  period.  See Note 3 to the Condensed  Consolidated
Financial Statements.




FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's  working capital at March 31, 1996 was $256.2  million,  including
cash and cash equivalents and short-term  investments of $132.7 million.  During
the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company received cash of $5.4 million
from the exercise of stock options. Additionally,  during the three months ended
March 31, 1996, the Company spent $4.3 million for capital  expenditures.  These
expenditures  were  necessary in order to provide the  equipment and capacity to
meet  the  growth  of  the  business.  In  April  1996,  the  Company  completed
negotiations  to build a 75,000  square foot  facility  in  Atlanta,  Georgia to
replace the current leased Atlanta facilities used for sales, service,  research
and  development,  and  training.  The full cost of building  the new  facility,
approximately $6.5 million,  is expected to be paid by the Company  periodically
from April through November 1996.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist of high-grade  commercial paper,
bank  certificates  of deposit,  U.S.  Treasury bills and notes,  and repurchase
agreements  backed by U.S.  Government  securities  with original  maturities of
three months or less.  The  Company's  short-term  investments  are comprised of
identical types of investments with the exception that their original maturities
are greater than three months but do not exceed one year. The Company expects to
use its cash, cash  equivalents  and short-term  investments for working capital
and other general corporate purposes, including the expansion and development of
its  existing  products  and  markets  and  the  expansion  into   complementary
businesses.

The Company  believes that funds  generated from  operations,  together with its
current cash reserves and short-term investments,  will be sufficient to support
the  short-term  and long-term  liquidity  requirements  for current  operations
(including capital  expenditures).  Company management believes that, if needed,
it can establish appropriate borrowing arrangements with lending institutions.

              CAUTIONARY STATEMENT UNDER SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF
              THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

         Glenayre  Technologies,  Inc.  ("Glenayre" or the "Company") sets forth
below the following  cautionary  statement  identifying  important  factors that
could  cause the  Company's  actual  results  to differ  materially  from  those
projected in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
These  cautionary  statements are made pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both enacted
pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.


POTENTIAL MARKET CHANGES RESULTING FROM TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES

         The paging industry and Glenayre's  business are subject to competition
from alternative forms of data communication.  In addition,  Glenayre's business
is  focused  entirely  upon the  wireless  telecommunications  industry.  Future
technological advances in the wireless  telecommunications  industry,  including
digital-based cellular telephone systems, could result in new products which are
competitive  with Glenayre's  products.  There can be no assurance that Glenayre
will not be  adversely  affected  in the event of such  technological  advances.
While the introduction of more advanced forms of  telecommunication  may provide
opportunities  to Glenayre for the  development of new products,  these advanced
forms of telecommunication may reduce the demand for pagers and thus the type of
paging transmission  systems and related software designed and sold by Glenayre.
In addition,  there can be no assurance  that  Glenayre  will be able to develop
successfully  these new products or to provide  additional  enhancements  to its
existing products.

COMPETITION

         The  Company  currently  faces  competition  from  a  number  of  other
equipment  manufacturers,  certain of which are  larger  and have  significantly
greater  resources  than the  Company,  and there can be no  assurance  that the
Company  will  be able to  compete  successfully  in the  future.  In  addition,
manufacturers of wireless telecommunications  equipment,  including those in the
cellular telephone industry,  certain of which are larger and have significantly
greater  resources  than the  Company,  could elect to enter into the  Company's
markets and compete with Glenayre's products.

VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

         The  Company's  financial  results in any quarter are highly  dependent
upon various  factors,  including the timing and size of customer orders and the
shipment of products for large orders.  Large orders from  customers can account
for a significant portion of products shipped in any quarter.  Accordingly,  the
shipment of products in fulfillment of such large orders can dramatically affect
the results of operations of any single quarter.  Sales to one customer totalled
approximately  16% and 13% of net sales for the fiscal years ended  December 31,
1995 and  1994,  respectively.  The  customers  with whom the  Company  does the
largest amount of business generally change from year to year. This results from
the timing for  development  and expansion of its  customers' and new customers'
systems.   Furthermore,  if  a  customer  delays  or  accelerates  its  delivery
requirements  or a  product's  completion  is delayed or  accelerated,  revenues
expected in a given quarter may be deferred or  accelerated  into  subsequent or
earlier quarters. Therefore, annual financial results are more indicative of the
Company's  performance than quarterly results,  and results of operations in any
quarterly  period may not be indicative of results  likely to be realized in the
following  quarterly  periods.  In addition,  comparisons to the Company's prior
quarterly  periods may not be appropriate  indicators of future quarterly period
results.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

         The market price of Glenayre Common Stock is volatile. The market price
of  Glenayre  Common  Stock  could be subject  to  significant  fluctuations  in
response to  variations  in  Glenayre's  quarterly  operating  results and other
factors such as announcements  of technological  developments or new products by
Glenayre,   developments  in  Glenayre's   relationships   with  its  customers,
technological   advances  by  existing  and  new  competitors,   general  market
conditions in the industry and changes in government  regulations.  In addition,
in  recent  years  conditions  in the  stock  market in  general  and  shares of
technology companies in particular have experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations  which have often been  unrelated to the operating  performance  of
these  specific  companies.  Such market  fluctuations  and economic  conditions
unrelated to Glenayre may adversely affect the market price of Glenayre's Common
Stock.

LIMITS ON PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY AND INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS

         Glenayre  owns or licenses  numerous  patents  used in its  operations.
Glenayre believes that while these patents are useful to Glenayre,  they are not
critical  or  valuable  on an  individual  basis.  The  collective  value of the
intellectual  property of  Glenayre is  comprised  of its  patents,  blueprints,
specifications,  technical processes and cumulative employee knowledge. Although
Glenayre attempts to protect its proprietary technology through a combination of
trade secrets, patent law, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures, such
protection may not preclude  competitors from developing  products with features
similar to  Glenayre's  products.  The laws of some  foreign  countries in which
Glenayre  sells or may sell its products,  including The Republic of Korea,  The
People's Republic of China, Saudi Arabia, Thailand,  Dubai, India and Brazil, do
not protect Glenayre's  proprietary rights in the products to the same extent as
do the laws of the United States.  Although  Glenayre believes that its products
and technology do not infringe on the proprietary rights of others,  Glenayre is
currently party to certain  infringement  claims,  and there can be no assurance
that  third  parties  will not assert  additional  infringement  claims  against
Glenayre in the future. If such litigation  resulted in Glenayre's  inability to
use technology,  Glenayre might be required to expend  substantial  resources to
develop alternative technology or to license the prior technology.  There can be
no assurance that Glenayre could successfully develop alternative  technology or
license the prior technology on commercially reasonable terms. Glenayre does not
believe,  however, that an adverse resolution of the pending claims would have a
material adverse effect on Glenayre.

POTENTIAL CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         Many  of  Glenayre's  products  operate  on  radio  frequencies.  Radio
frequency transmissions and emissions,  and certain equipment used in connection
therewith,  are  regulated  in the United  States,  Canada and  internationally.
Regulatory  approvals  generally must be obtained by Glenayre in connection with
the manufacture and sale of its products, and by Glenayre's customers to operate
Glenayre's  products.  There can be no  assurance  that  appropriate  regulatory
approvals will continue to be obtained,  or that approvals required with respect
to products being developed for the personal communications services market will
be obtained. The enactment by federal, state, local or international governments
of new  laws or  regulations  or a  change  in the  interpretation  of  existing
regulations  could affect the market for Glenayre's  products.  Although  recent
deregulation of  international  telecommunications  industries along with recent
radio frequency  spectrum  allocations made by the FCC have increased the demand
for Glenayre's  products by providing users of those products with opportunities
to establish new paging and other  wireless  personal  communications  services,
there  can be no  assurance  that the  trend  toward  deregulation  and  current
regulatory  developments favorable to the promotion of new and expanded personal
communications  services will continue or that other future  regulatory  changes
will have a positive impact on Glenayre. On February 9, 1996, the FCC released a
notice of proposed rule making covering a licensing rule and procedure change on
the 929 MHz and 931 MHz as  well  as  certain  other  paging  frequencies  which
included  a freeze on its  acceptance  of new  applications  for  paging  system
licenses.  As the issuance of new paging system licenses  stimulates  demand for
the Company's products, this freeze may adversely affect sales and the timing of
sales of the Company's products.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RISKS

         Approximately  35% of net sales for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
1995 were generated in markets outside of the United States. International sales
are subject to the customary risks associated with  international  transactions,
including  political risks,  local laws and taxes,  the potential  imposition of
trade  or  currency  exchange  restrictions,  tariff  increases,  transportation
delays,  difficulties  or delays in collecting  accounts  receivable,  and, to a
lesser extent,  exchange rate  fluctuations.  Although a substantial  portion of
international sales of the Company's products and services for fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995 were  negotiated  in U.S.  dollars,  there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to maintain such a high  percentage of U.S. dollar
denominated  international  sales.  The Company  seeks to mitigate  its currency
exchange  fluctuation risk by entering into currency hedging  transactions.  The
Company  also acts to  mitigate  certain  risks  associated  with  international
transactions  through the purchase of political  risk  insurance  and the use of
letters of credit.
