                                   (Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
       DMC Stratex Networks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (The
       Company). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
       Certain prior years amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
       year presentation.

       While the financial information furnished is unaudited, the financial
       statements included in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting
       only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers
       necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
       interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at
       the date of the interim balance sheet. The results for interim periods
       are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The
       condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection
       with the DMC Stratex Networks, Inc. financial statements included in the
       Company's annual report and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
       2000.

CURRENCY TRANSLATION

         The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries located in the
         United Kingdom and Latin America is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all
         of the monetary assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are
         remeasured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as of the
         applicable balance sheet date, and all non-monetary assets and
         liabilities are remeasured at historical rates. Sales and expenses are
         remeasured at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period.
         Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of the subsidiaries'
         financial statements are included in the Consolidated Statements of
         Operations. The Company's other international subsidiaries use their
         local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of
         these subsidiaries are translated at the current exchange rates in
         effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts are
         translated at the average exchange rates during the year. The resulting
         translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive
         loss in the accompanying financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge
         some of its firm committed backlog, open purchase orders and certain
         assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. At September
         30, 2000, the Company had forward foreign exchange contracts to
         exchange various foreign currencies for U.S. dollars in the gross
         amount of $46.7 million. Market value gains and losses on forward
         foreign exchange contracts are recognized as offsets to the exchange
         gains or losses on the hedged transactions. The amount of unrealized
         loss on these contracts at September 30, 2000 is $0.2 million.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement
         on Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per
         Share." Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per share are computed by
         dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed
         by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
         and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in
         the normal course of its business. In the opinion of management, these
         proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
         position and results of operations of the Company.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Trade receivables concentrated with certain customers primarily in the
         telecommunications industry and in certain geographic locations
         potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. There
         were two customers in the United States and one in China that each
         accounted for approximately 12% of the total Accounts Receivable
         balance at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2001. The Company
         expects to collect most of these amounts during the third quarter of
         Fiscal 2001. In addition to sales in Western Europe and North America,
         the Company actively markets and sells products in Asia, Eastern
         Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. The Company performs
         on-going credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and
         generally requires no collateral, although sales to Asia, Eastern
         Europe, and the Middle East are primarily paid through letters of
         credit.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
         establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
         and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
         of general-purpose financial statements. The following table reconciles
         comprehensive income under the provisions of SFAS 130 (in thousands)

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 133
         ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities," which establishes standards for the reporting and display
         of comprehensive income and its components in general purpose financial
         statements. SFAS 133 is effective for companies in the fiscal year
         beginning after June 15, 2000, which for the Company would be fiscal
         2002. SFAS 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the
         balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
         adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge,
         depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
         derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of
         the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or
         recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is
         recognized in earnings. The Company believes that the adoption of this
         new pronouncement will not have a material effect on the Company's
         financial statements.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
         Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in
         Financial Statements." SAB 101 provides guidance on applying generally
         accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues in
         financial statements. The Company expects to adopt the accounting
         change in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001 and does not anticipate SAB
         101 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
         results of operations or cash flows.

OPERATING SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

         The Company is organized into two operating segments: Products and
         Services. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief
         Operating Decision-Maker as defined by SFAS 131, "Disclosures about
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Resources are
         allocated to each of these groups using information on their revenues
         and operating profits before interest and taxes.

         The products operating segment includes the SPECTRUM II, XP4, DART,
         Altium and DXR digital microwave systems for digital transmission
         markets. The Company designs, develops, and manufactures these products
         in Seattle, Washington; San Jose, California; and Wellington, New
         Zealand. The Services operating segment includes, but is not limited
         to, installation, repair, network design, path surveys, integration,
         and other services. The Company maintains regional service centers in
         San Jose, California; Lanarkshire, Scotland; and Clark Field, Pampanga,
         Philippines.

NET SALES

Net sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 increased to $105.4 million,
compared to $68.5 million reported in the second quarter of Fiscal 2000 due to
increased customer demand and improved manufacturing capacity. Our XP4 product
line net sales increased significantly to


                                    12 of 23
<PAGE>

$31.4 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001, from $12.1 million in the
comparable second quarter of Fiscal 2000, and our Altium product line net sales
increased to $23.1 million from $11.0 million. Net sales to U.S. customers were
$35.0 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to $14.6 million in
the second quarter of Fiscal 2000. Net sales to European customers increased to
$23.5 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to $16.2 million in
the second quarter of Fiscal 2000. Service revenue increased to $8.0 million in
the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter
of Fiscal 2000 due to additional installation work as a result of increased
sales.

Net sales for the first half of Fiscal 2001 were $192.2 million, compared to
$134.5 million reported in the first half of Fiscal 2000 due to increased
customer demand and improved manufacturing capacity. The increase in net sales
was due primarily to increased sales of our XP4, Altium and DXR product lines.
Sales to Mexico increased to $38.0 million in the first half of Fiscal 2001
compared to $10.5 million in the first half of Fiscal 2000. Sales to U.S.
customers were $49.1 million in the first half of Fiscal 2001 compared to $26.4
million in the first half of Fiscal 2000. We also saw an increase in sales in
Europe to $50.0 million in the first half of Fiscal 2001 compared to $34.9 in
the first half of Fiscal 2000. However, we experienced sales declines in the
Asia Pacific region, which includes China, as sales there were $28.2 million in
the first half of Fiscal 2001 compared to $41.0 million in the first half of
Fiscal 2000. These declines were largely due to capacity constraints in the XP4
product line. Service revenue increased to $14.4 million in the first half of
Fiscal 2001 compared to $6.3 million in the first half of Fiscal 2000 due to
additional installation work as a result of increased sales.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2001, we received $132.5 million in new
orders shippable over the next 12 months, compared to $71.2 million in the
second quarter of Fiscal 2000, an increase of 86%. During the first half of
Fiscal 2001, we received $258.5 million in new orders shippable over the next 12
months, compared to $139.0 million in the first half of Fiscal 2000, an increase
of 86%. The backlog at September 30, 2000 was $178.3 million, compared to $111.8
million at March 31, 2000.

We include in our backlog purchase orders with respect to which a delivery
schedule has been specified for product shipment within one year. Orders in our
current backlog are subject to changes in delivery schedules or to cancellation
at the option of the purchaser without significant penalty. Accordingly,
although useful for scheduling production, backlog as of any particular date may
not be a reliable measure of sales for any future period.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2001
was 31.6% compared to 30.1% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2000. Our gross
margin in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 increased due to our increased
capacity utilization.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the first half of Fiscal 2001 was
33.2% compared to 28.8% in the first half of Fiscal 2000. The increase in gross
profit was primarily the result of our shift in revenue to the Altium and XP4
product lines as well as increased capacity utilization.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2001, research and development expenses
decreased to $5.7 million from $6.3 million in the second quarter of Fiscal
2000. The decrease is due to a decline from the prior year in design costs for
the Altium product and the completion of the


                                    13 of 23
<PAGE>


initial design of the Velocity chip. As a percentage of net sales, research and
development expenses decreased to 5.4% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001
compared to 9.2 % in the second quarter of Fiscal 2000 due to the decrease in
expenses and an increase in net sales.

In the first half of Fiscal 2001, research and development expenses decreased by
$0.1 million to $12.0 million from $12.1 million in the same period in Fiscal
2000. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 6.3%
in the first half of Fiscal 2001 compared to 9.0% in the first half of Fiscal
2000 due to an increase in net sales.

We expect to increase research and development expenses during the second half
of Fiscal 2001 as we develop new high capacity products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to $16.0 million from $12.2 million in the second quarter of
Fiscal 2000. This increase was a result of higher depreciation and other costs
attributable to purchases of enterprise-wide business and manufacturing systems
and higher travel expenses related to increased sales volume. As a percentage of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.2% in
the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 compared to 17.9% in the comparable quarter of
Fiscal 2000 due to an increase in net sales.

In the first half of Fiscal 2001, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $30.6 million from $23.7 million in the first half of Fiscal 2000.
This increase was a result of higher depreciation and other costs attributable
to purchases of enterprise-wide business and manufacturing systems and higher
travel expenses related to increased sales volume. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 15.9% in the first half of
Fiscal 2001 compared to 17.7% in the comparable period of Fiscal 2000 due to an
increase in net sales.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

The increase in interest income in the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 of $1.3
million was primarily due to higher average cash balances compared to the second
quarter of Fiscal 2000. Interest expense decreased in the second quarter of
Fiscal 2001 compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2000 primarily due to lower
average lease obligations. Other expense decreased to $0.1 million in the second
quarter of Fiscal 2001 from $0.6 million expense in the second quarter of Fiscal
2000 primarily due to lower foreign exchange cover costs and foreign exchange
losses.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2001, we recorded a provision for income taxes
at less than the statutory rate primarily due to the anticipated utilization of
net operating loss carry forwards in Fiscal 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used for operating activities in the first half of Fiscal 2001 was
$30.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.5
million in the first half of Fiscal 2000. The increase in cash used for
operations was primarily the result of increased receivables and increased
inventory. Inventory increased $41.7 million in the first half of Fiscal 2001
due to increased product backlog. Backlog at September 30, 2000 was $178.3
million compared to


                                    14 of 23
<PAGE>


$111.8 million at March 31, 2000. Accounts receivable increased $31.6 million in
the first half of Fiscal 2001 due to increased sales and the timing of shipments
as 48% of our Fiscal 2001 second quarter shipments occurred in the last month of
the period. Accounts payable increased $17.1 million in support of the increase
in purchase volume of inventory in the first half of Fiscal 2001. Other accrued
liabilities decreased by $8.0 million in the first half of Fiscal 2001 as
compared to a decrease of $13.9 million in the same period of Fiscal 2000; the
decrease in the prior year was largely due to the payment of restructuring
charges during Fiscal 2000.

Purchases of property and equipment increased by $11.0 million in the first half
of Fiscal 2001 compared to an increase of $7.0 million in the first half of
Fiscal 2000. The first half Fiscal 2001 activity was attributable to purchases
in manufacturing to meet increased production volumes and purchases of
enterprise-wide business and manufacturing systems. The volume of purchases and
proceeds relating to available-for-sale securities increased in the first half
of Fiscal 2001 due to higher cash balances compared to the same period of the
prior year. Cash balances have increased as a result of our sale of common stock
under a shelf registration statement in the third quarter of Fiscal 2000. We
made $5.5 million in minority investments during the first half of Fiscal 2001;
these investments were all within the telecommunications industry and
represented a less than 10% ownership. We expect to continue to make such
minority investments in other companies in the future.

Proceeds from the sale of common stock are primarily derived from the exercise
of employee stock options and the employee stock purchase plan.

At September 30, 2000, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $82.7
million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. However,
depending on the growth of our business, we may require additional financing; we
may not be able to obtain such additional financing in the required time frame
on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We believe that we have the
financial resources needed to meet our business requirements for the next 12
months.

EUROPEAN MONETARY UNION

In January 1999, a new currency called the "euro" was introduced in certain
Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU") countries. During 2002, all EMU countries
are expected to be operating with the euro as their single currency. Uncertainty
exists as to the effect the euro currency will have on the marketplace.
Additionally, all of the rules and regulations have not yet been defined and
finalized by the European Commission with regard to the euro currency. We have
assessed the effect the euro formation will have on our internal systems and the
sale of our products. Our European sales and operating transactions are based
primarily in U.S. dollars or U.K. pounds sterling, neither of which are subject
to the euro conversion. While we do have some sales denominated in the European
Currency Unit, this currency is successfully being converted in the market to
the new European Monetary Unit at parity. In addition, we upgraded our internal
computer systems to convert the European currencies to the euro. The cost of
upgrading our systems in connection with the euro conversion was not material
and we expect no harm to our business, financial condition, or results of
operations due to the upgrade.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal
while at the same time maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk.
Our short-term investments are for fixed interest rates; therefore, changes in
interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they
are sold prior to maturity. Actual gains and losses due to the sale of our
investments prior to maturity have been immaterial. Investments are generally
not held for more than one year. The average length of investments held at the
end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2001 was 60 days and had an average yield of
6.7% per annum.

It is our policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments except for
hedging of foreign currency exposures. We hedge certain portions of our exposure
to foreign currency fluctuations through the use of forward foreign exchange
contracts. We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for purposes other
than trading; however, we do not engage in any foreign currency speculation.
Forward foreign exchange contracts represent agreements to buy or sell a
specified amount of foreign currency at a specified price in the future. These
contracts generally have maturities that do not exceed one month. At September
30, 2000, we had forward foreign exchange contracts to exchange various foreign
currencies for U.S. dollars in the aggregate amount of $46.7 million, primarily
in New Zealand dollars and British pounds. Gains and losses associated with
currency rate changes on forward foreign exchange contracts are recorded
currently in income as they offset corresponding gains and losses on the foreign
currency-denominated assets and liabilities being hedged. Therefore, the
carrying value of forward foreign exchange contracts approximates their fair
value. We believe that the credit risk with respect to our forward foreign
exchange contracts is minimal because we execute contracts with major financial
institutions. Market risk with respect to forward foreign exchange contracts is
offset by the corresponding exposure related to the underlying assets and
liabilities.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RATE RISK

Although nearly all of our sales and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars,
we have experienced some foreign exchange gains and losses to date, and expect
to incur additional gains and losses in Fiscal 2001. We did engage in foreign
currency hedging activities during the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as
explained above, and intend to continue doing so as needed.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE FINANCIAL RESULTS

The statements in this Form 10-Q concerning our future products, expenses,
revenues, gross margins, liquidity and cash needs, as well as our plans and
strategies, contain forward-looking statements concerning our future operations
and financial results within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements, trend analyses and other
information contained herein relative to markets for our services and products
and trends in revenue, as well as other statements including such words as
"anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "goal" and "intend" and
other similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and we assume no
obligation to update this information. Numerous factors, such as economic and
competitive conditions, timing and volume of incoming orders, shipment volumes,
product


                                    16 of 23
<PAGE>

margins, and foreign exchange rates, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in these statements, and prospective investors
and stockholders should carefully consider the factors set forth in our Report
on Form 10-K, filed on June 29, 2000, and those set forth below in evaluating
these forward-looking statements.

Sales of our products are concentrated in a small number of customers. For the
first half of Fiscal 2001, the top three customers accounted for 35% of the net
sales. As of September 30, 2000, three of our customers accounted for 39% of the
backlog. The worldwide telecommunications industry is dominated by a small
number of large corporations, and we expect that a significant portion of its
future product sales will continue to be concentrated in a limited number of
customers. The loss of any existing customer, a significant reduction in the
level of sales to any existing customer, or our inability to gain additional
customers could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, a substantial portion of shipments may occur near the
end of each quarter. Accordingly, our results are difficult to predict and
delays in product delivery or closing of a sale can cause revenues and net
income to fluctuate significantly from anticipated levels and from quarter to
quarter.

Wireless infrastructure suppliers are experiencing, and will likely continue to
experience, price pressure that has resulted, and is expected to continue to
result, in downward pricing pressure on our products. As a result, we have in
the past experienced, and expect to continue to experience, declining average
sales prices for our products. Our ability to maintain our gross profit margins
is dependent upon our ability to continue to introduce new products and product
enhancements. Our inability to respond to increased price competition would harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The markets for our products are extremely competitive, and we expect that
competition will increase. Our existing and potential competitors include
established and emerging companies, such as Alcatel, L. M. Ericsson, Microwave
Communications Division of Harris Corporation, NEC, Nera, Nokia, P-COM, Inc.,
Sagem, SIAE, and Siemens AG, many of which have more extensive engineering,
manufacturing, and marketing capabilities and significantly greater financial,
technical, and personnel resources than us. We believe that our ability to
compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and outside
our control, including price, quality, availability, customer service and
support, breadth of product line, product performance and features, rapid
time-to-market delivery capabilities, reliability, timing of new product
introductions by us, our customers and our competitors, and the ability of our
customers to obtain financing.

We expect that international sales will continue to account for the majority of
its net product sales for the foreseeable future. As a result, we are subject to
the risks of doing business internationally, including unexpected changes in
regulatory requirements, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
imposition of tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, the burdens of
complying with a variety of foreign laws, and general economic and geopolitical
conditions, including inflation and trade relationships. There can be no
assurance that currency fluctuations, changes in the rate of inflation or any of
the factors mentioned above will not harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Our manufacturing operations are highly dependent upon the delivery of materials
by outside suppliers in a timely manner. In addition, we depend in part upon
subcontractors to assemble major components and subsystems used in its products
in a timely and satisfactory manner.


                                    17 of 23

While we enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with a few of our
suppliers, no assurance can be given that materials, components, and subsystems
will be available in the quantities we require, if at all. Our inability to
develop alternative sources of supply quickly and on a cost-effective basis
could materially impair our ability to manufacture and deliver our products in a
timely manner, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations. We may experience material supply problems or component or subsystem
delays in the future.

We have pursued, and will continue to pursue, growth opportunities through
internal development and acquisitions of complementary businesses and
technologies. Acquisitions may involve difficulties in the retention of
personnel, diversion of management's attention, unexpected legal liabilities,
and tax and accounting issues. We may not be able to successfully identify
suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired
businesses into our operations, or expand into new markets. Once integrated,
acquired businesses may not achieve comparable levels of revenues,
profitability, or productivity as our existing business or otherwise perform as
expected. Our inability to manage our growth effectively could harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 2, 2000, we invested $6.0 million for a minority interest (i.e. less
than 10%) in Endwave Corporation, a supplier of broadband wireless access
equipment, based in Sunnyvale, California. Endwave completed an initial public
offering of common stock on October 17, 2000. We agreed to place purchase orders
totaling $5.0 million over the next two years with Endwave, if their product
meets our specifications and quality requirements.
