                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)



NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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
notes  required  by  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended September
29, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending March 30,  1997.  For further  information,  refer to the
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the Advanced
Photonix,  Inc.  (together with its subsidiary,  the "Company") Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net Loss Per Share:  Net loss per share is based on the weighted  average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding,  computed in accordance with
Accounting  Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 15. Common stock equivalents were
not considered in the calculation as their effect would be antidilutive.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES
The  Company's  revenues  for the second  quarter ("Q2 97") and six month period
("YTD 97")  ended  September  29,  1996,  were $1.7  million  and $3.5  million,
respectively.  Revenues  for the Q2 97 and YTD 97 period  were down 16% and 12%,
respectively,  when compared to $2.0 million and $3.9 million in the  comparable
periods of the prior year ("Q2 96" & "YTD 96"). Q2 97 revenues decreased $49,000
from the first  quarter of fiscal  year  1997,  a decrease  of  $213,000  in net
product  shipments  partially  offset by an increase of $164,000 in  development
contract revenue.

Net product  sales for Q2 97 and YTD 97 were down  $461,000  (25%) and  $673,000
(18%), respectively,  when compared to the same periods of the prior year. These
decreases  are  primarily  a result of a lower  level of  shipments  related  to
military  aerospace  business with the Company's largest  customer.  The Company
anticipates  that total sales to that  customer  for fiscal 1997 should  improve
during the second half in comparison to the first half.

Q2 97 and YTD 97 net product sales of Large Area  Avalanche  Photodiode  (LAAPD)
products  were  relatively  low and flat to the prior year.  During  fiscal year
1995, the Company suspended most shipments of its proprietary LAAPD products and
curtailed  LAAPD  production  because  of  low  reliability  and  yields  it was
obtaining in the  manufacturing  process.  Thereafter,  the Company  focused its
research and development resources on the baseline LAAPD manufacturing  process.
As a result of these efforts, the Company developed a new manufacturing  process
which it anticipates  will  significantly  improve both  reliability and process
yields.  In July 1996, the Company filed for a patent seeking  protection of the
new manufacturing  process,  and has begun to aggressively market LAAPD products
to original equipment  manufacturers.  The Company anticipates increasing volume
in the second half of the fiscal year from sales of LAAPD products made with its
newly developed manufacturing process.

Development contract revenues increased 86% during Q2 97, from $160,000 in Q2 96
to $297,000 in Q2 97; and  increased  98% during YTD 97, from $217,000 in YTD 96
to $430,000 in YTD 97. This is primarily  due to two  development  contracts for
which work did not build up until the second and third  quarters of fiscal 1996.
The Company was awarded a Phase II Department  of Energy grant of  approximately
$750,000  in June  1995  based  upon the  success  of a Phase I  effort,  and in
September 1995, was awarded a $1.1 million  contract from the Advanced  Research
Projects  Agency of the  Pentagon  and the  Aircraft  Division  of the Naval Air
Warfare Center.  These types of government  development  contracts are typically
multi-year  awards and are subject to periodic  review and  cancellation  by the
government  due to a variety  of reasons  including  a lack of  funding.  If not
rescheduled  or canceled,  revenues  from  existing  contracts  should  continue
through  the  third  quarter  of fiscal  1998.  However,  revenues  from the DOE
contract should wind down at the beginning of the fourth quarter, January 1997.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of product sales  decreased by $176,000 during Q2 97 and by $422,000 during
YTD 97 compared to Q2 96 and YTD 96. These decreases were primarily due to lower
product shipments. Cost of product sales as a percent of product sales increased
by 8% in Q2 97 compared to Q2 96 due to a lower  absorption  of fixed costs as a
result of lower volume and to inventory  adjustments  associated with a canceled
program.

Research and development ("R&D") costs increased by $50,000 (11%) to $512,000 in
Q2 97 compared to Q2 96 and  increased by $173,000  (19%) during YTD 97 compared
to YTD 96. The increase in R&D costs is primarily due to the higher level of R&D
effort  on  government   contracts   and  efforts   expended  on  LAAPD  process
improvements  for which the above  mentioned  manufacturing  process  patent was
applied for during the  period.  During the past  fiscal  year,  the Company has
better  controlled  internal R&D activities and has been successful in obtaining
government  funded  development  contracts  complementary  to its  internal  R&D
efforts.  These costs might  otherwise  be  partially  incurred as internal  R&D
without any additional funding. R&D costs have varied significantly in the past,
and  may  continue  to do so,  due to the  level  of  activity  associated  with
development  contracts as well as the number and  complexity  of new process and
product development projects,  the qualification of new process developments and
customer evaluation and acceptance of new products.

Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased by $67,000  (39%) to $239,000 in Q2 97
compared to Q2 96 and by $129,000  (40%) to $449,000  for YTD 97 compared to YTD
96. The increases from both periods were  primarily due to expenses  incurred in
the Core Business where the Company has increased manpower compared to Q1 96 and
incurred  higher  marketing  costs.  This increase was expected,  as the Company
pursues its plan to grow the Core  Business.  In addition,  sales and  marketing
expenditures  had been  deferred  back in the first half of fiscal 1996 awaiting
the successful  completion of a private placement  offering.  (See Liquidity and
Capital  Resources.)  Marketing  and sales  expenses  associated  with the LAAPD
Business  increased  slightly due to increased  advertising  and should begin to
increase more  significantly  as the Company begins to  commercialize  the LAAPD
family of products.

General and  administrative  expenses increased by $234,000 (61%) to $615,000 in
Q2 97 compared to Q2 96 and by $220,000  (31%) to $940,000 in YTD 97 compared to
YTD 96. This  increase is primarily due to a one-time  reorganization  charge of
approximately   $288,000  related  to  management  changes.  Other  general  and
administrative  expenses  decreased by $54,000  (14%) in Q2 97 compared to Q2 96
and by  $68,000  (9%) for YTD 97  compared  to YTD 96. The  decrease  between Q2
periods is primarily due to lower personnel and insurance  costs. In addition to
the Q2 factors,  expenses decreased for YTD 97 compared to YTD 96 as a result of
a reduction in fees paid to outside members of the Company's Board of Directors.
In  October  1995,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  unanimously  agreed  to
eliminate  all fees for its  outside  directors  except  for  reasonable  travel
expenses in conjunction with regular or committee meetings.

Other  income  increased  by  $16,000  (62%) in Q2 97  compared  to Q2 96 and by
$54,000 (138%) in YTD 97 compared to YTD 96 due to higher interest  income.  The
Company has  maintained a higher average cash balance since the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 when it completed a private  placement.  (See  Liquidity and Capital
Resources.)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At  September  29,  1996,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $3.6
million,  working  capital of $4.2 million and an  accumulated  deficit of $16.7
million.  The Company's cash and cash  equivalents  decreased by $409,000 during
the six months ended September 29, 1996. Cash of $299,000 was used for operating
activities.  Cash of  $155,000  was used for  purchases  of  capital  equipment,
compared to $46,000  during the  comparable  period of the prior  year.  Capital
spending was lower during the first half of fiscal 1996 as the Company conserved
its resources pending receipt of additional equity financing.

To  enable  the  Company  to meet its  capital  commitment  needs,  the  Company
historically  has  supplemented  cash provided by operations  with proceeds from
private  placement  equity  financing,  bank  lines of  credit  and  loans  from
stockholders.  At September 29, 1996, no amounts were outstanding under any bank
line-of-credit and there were no stockholder loans to the Company. On August 15,
1995, the Company completed a $3,000,000  private placement offering in which it
issued 2,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Company  believes that the proceeds of its private  placement  offering will
permit it to implement its strategic  business plan,  which focuses on achieving
profitable  operating  results while  maintaining  its commitment to develop the
LAAPD based  products.  The Company's plan focuses on growing the Core Business,
bringing  initial  LAAPD  products  to market  and  developing  proof-of-concept
demonstration  LAAPD  Arrays  which are  expected  to prove  helpful in securing
future financing and strategic partners.

The Company  will utilize its  available  funds to continue  development  of the
LAAPD business and for other working capital purposes including, but not limited
to, capital  equipment and working capital to expand the Core Business and bring
the initial LAAPD products to market; and capital equipment, salaries, wages and
other development costs to further develop the LAAPD  manufacturing  process and
develop  proof-of-concept  demonstration LAAPD Arrays. The continued development
of LAAPD Arrays beyond the proof-of-concept phase may require additional funds.

The Company believes that the moderate rate of inflation over the past few years
has not had a significant impact on the Company's sales or operating results.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information  contained herein includes  forward looking  statements that are
based on assumptions  that management  believes to be reasonable but are subject
to inherent  uncertainties  and risks  including,  but not limited to, unforseen
technological  obstacles  which  may  prevent  or slow  the  development  and/or
manufacture  of new  products,  limited  (or slower than  anticipated)  customer
acceptance  of new  products  which  have  been and are being  developed  by the
Company  (particularly  its LAAPD  product  line),  and a decline in the general
demand for optoelectronic products.
