NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited 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 month period ended June 29, 1997, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending March 29, 1998. 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 30, 1997.

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.  Common stock equivalents
were not considered in the  calculation,  as their effect would be antidilutive.
Such weighted average shares were approximately  10,854,000 at June 29, 1997 and
10,812,000 at June 30, 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES
The Company's  revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 ("Q1 98") were
$1.5 million,  a decrease of $283,000 or (16%) from revenues of $1.8 million for
the first  quarter of fiscal year 1997 ("Q1 97") and an increase of $35,000 (2%)
from  revenues of $1.4  million in the fourth  quarter of fiscal year 1997 ("the
previous quarter").

Net product  sales of $1.4  million  decreased  $250,000  (15%) and  development
contract revenues decreased by $33,000 (25%) to $100,000 in Q1 98 compared to Q1
97. The Company believes that cutbacks in its sales and marketing efforts during
fiscal 1996  impacted its ability to book new orders and resulted in lower sales
during the second half of fiscal 1997 and Q1 98. These cutbacks were a result of
cash  conservation  measures  put in place  prior to the  Company  completing  a
private  placement  in  August  1995.  After  receiving  the  additional  equity
financing,  the Company hired and replaced employees in the sales department and
otherwise increased marketing efforts including additional trade-show attendance
and advertising.  

The  decrease in net  product  sales was  primarily  due to lower  shipments  of
industrial  sensing  products  which  decreased  by  approximately  30% in Q1 98
compared to Q1 97 but were  relatively flat to the previous  quarter.  Volume in
military  aerospace  products  increased slightly in Q1 98 compared to the prior
quarter  and is  expected  to continue to increase in fiscal 1998 as the Company
begins  deliveries  under a new, longer term military  program.  The Company was
awarded a  contract  for $1.3  million  under  this  program  which,  along with
follow-on orders, should provide a solid base to grow revenues over the next few
years.  

During Q1 98, net  product  sales of Large  Area  Avalanche  Photodiode  (LAAPD)
products were insignificant. During 1996, the Company curtailed LAAPD production
because of low  reliability  and yields it was  obtaining  in the  manufacturing
process.  After  additional  research  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 market
LAAPD  products  to  original   equipment   manufacturers.   While  the  Company
anticipates  increasing  volume from sales of LAAPD products made with its newly
developed  manufacturing  process,  further  refinements  in  the  manufacturing
process will be required before full production can be achieved.  Meanwhile, the
Company  continues to ship quality product,  albeit at low production levels and
less than desired  manufacturing  yields. The Company recently  consolidated its
core business and LAAPD  manufacturing  operations  and continues its efforts to
further refine and optimize certain process steps in LAAPD products.



<PAGE>


The  decrease  in  development  contract  revenues  was  primarily  due  to  the
completion of a Department of Energy ("DOE")  contract  during the third quarter
of fiscal  1997.  The Company was awarded a Phase II DOE grant of  approximately
$750,000 in June 1995 based upon the success of a Phase I effort.  In  addition,
in December  1995,  the Company 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   ("ARPA/NAWC").   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. During the third quarter of 1997, revenues from the
DOE  contract  began to wind down and the  contract  was  completed.  During the
second half of 1997,  revenues  from the  ARPA/NAWC  contract were impacted by a
delay in funding from the customer.  Incremental  funding has now been awardd to
complete  the current  phase of the  contract.  The work on this phase should be
completed during Q2 98.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of product  sales  decreased  by $67,000  in Q1 98  compared  to Q1 97. The
decrease is  attributable to lower product  shipments and a related  decrease in
manufacturing  volume  efficiencies.  In line  with  the  reduction  in  product
shipments  which has spanned  the second half of fiscal 1997  through Q1 98, the
Company has reduced its workforce  (permanent and temporary employees from 86 to
69 during fiscal 1997 -- and to 67 at the end of Q1 98) through  attrition and a
reduction in force in February 1997.

Research and development  costs decreased by $347,000 (60%) to $229,000 in Q1 98
as compared to Q1 97. The  decrease in R&D costs is  primarily  due to the lower
level of R&D effort on government  contracts (see "Revenues" above) as well as a
general  reduction  in internal  R&D efforts as the Company  focuses more on the
commercialization/manufacture   of  the   LAAPD.   In   conjunction   with   its
commercialization  efforts,  the Company has  consolidated its core business and
LAAPD manufacturing  operations.  In addition, the Company has better controlled
internal R&D activities.  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.  The Company is currently  developing
LAAPD imaging  arrays which the Company  believes will have the greatest  future
market  potential  within  the  line  of  LAAPD  products.  An  acceleration  in
development efforts to bring this technology into production could substantially
impact R&D costs.

Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased by $38,000  (18%) to $248,000 in Q1 98
compared to Q1 97. The  increases  were  primarily  due to increased  personnel,
advertising  and marketing  costs.  This  increase was expected,  as the Company
pursues its plan for growth.  Marketing and sales  expenses  should  continue to
increase  as the  Company  continues  to pursue  its plan for  growth  including
commercialization of the LAAPD family of products.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $31,000 (10%) to $294,000 in Q1
98 compared to Q1 97  primarily  due to general  cutbacks  and efforts to reduce
costs.

Interest  income in Q1 98 of $33,000 was $12,000 lower than Q1 97 as a result of
lower average cash balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 29,  1997,  the  Company  had  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term
investments of $2.2 million,  working capital of $3.2 million and an accumulated
deficit of $17.9 million.  The Company's cash and cash equivalents  decreased by
$456,000  during the three months ended June 29, 1997. Cash of $426,000 was used
for operating activities primarily for accounts receivable  ($149,000) which was
primarily related to a large billing on a government contract made at the end of
the period. Cash of $30,000 was used for capital equipment, compared to $108,000
during the comparable period of the prior year.

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.  On August 15, 1995,  the Company  completed a $3,000,000  private
placement in which it issued 2,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Company has a revolving line of credit  agreement with a bank for the lesser
of $1,000,000 or 75 percent of eligible trade accounts receivable, as defined by
the agreement.  The agreement was renewed on July 15, 1997,  expires in one year
and provides for  interest to be paid  monthly at prime plus 1.25  percent.  The
Company must adhere to certain  requirements  and provisions to be in compliance
with the terms of the agreement. Borrowings under the line of credit are secured
by accounts receivable,  inventory,  equipment and general intangibles.  At June
29, 1997, no amounts were outstanding  under any bank  line of credit  and there
were no stockholder loans to the Company.

The Company has used the proceeds of its 1995 private placement to implement its
strategic  business plan,  which 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 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, unforeseen
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),  the  availability  of other
competing  technologies  and a decline in the general demand for  optoelectronic
products.

                                                Loan and Security Agreement

Borrower:                  Advanced Photonix, Inc.
Address:                   1240 Avenida Acaso
                           Camarillo, California  93012

Dated:                     July 15, 1997

         THIS  SCHEDULE is an integral  part of the Loan and Security  Agreement
between  Silicon  Valley  Bank   ("Silicon")   and  the   above-named   borrower
("Borrower") of even date.

Credit Limit
     (Section 1.1): An amount not to exceed the lesser of: (i) $1,000,000 at any
          one time  outstanding;  or (ii) 75% * of the Net Amount of  Borrower's
          accounts,   which  Silicon  in  its  discretion   deems  eligible  for
          borrowing.  "Net  Amount" of an account  means the gross amount of the
          account,  minus all applicable  sales,  use,  excise and other similar
          taxes and minus all  discounts,  credits and  allowances of any nature
          granted or claimed.  
          * (provided that on and after a Borrowing Audit (as defined in Section
          4.5 of the Loan  Agreement),  this  percentage  may be modified in the
          reasonable  discretion  of  Silicon  based on the  results of any such
          audit)
          Without limiting the fact that the determination of which accounts are
          eligible  for  borrowing  is a matter  of  Silicon's  discretion,  the
          following  will  not  be  deemed  eligible  for  borrowing:   accounts
          outstanding  for more than 90 days  from the  invoice  date,  accounts
          subject to any contingencies, accounts owing from the United States or
          any department,  agency or instrumentality of the United States or any
          state,  city or  municipality,  accounts  owing from an account debtor
          outside  the United  States  (unless  pre-  approved by Silicon in its
          discretion,  or backed by a letter of credit  satisfactory to Silicon,
          or FCIA  insured  satisfactory  to Silicon),  accounts  owing from one
          account  debtor to the extent  they  exceed 25% of the total  eligible
          accounts  outstanding,  accounts  owing from an affiliate of Borrower,
          and accounts  owing from an account  debtor to whom Borrower is or may
          be liable for goods  purchased  from such account debtor or otherwise.
          In addition,  if more than 50% of the  accounts  owing from an account
          debtor are outstanding  more than 90 days from the invoice date or are
          otherwise  not eligible  accounts,  then all accounts  owing from that
          account debtor will be deemed ineligible for borrowing.

Letter of Credit Sublimit                            
          Silicon, in its reasonable  discretion,  will from time to time during
          the term of this Agreement  issue letters of credit for the account of
          the Borrower ("Letters of Credit"),  in an aggregate amount at any one
          time  outstanding  not to exceed  $100,000,  upon the  request  of the
          Borrower,  provided  that, on the date the Letters of Credit are to be
<PAGE>

          issued,  Borrower  has  available to it Loans in an amount equal to or
          greater  than the face  amount of the  Letters of Credit to be issued.
          Prior to the issuance of any Letters of Credit, Borrower shall execute
          and  deliver to Silicon  Applications  for  Letters of Credit and such
          other  documentation  as Silicon  shall specify (the "Letter of Credit
          Documentation").  Fees for the Letters of Credit  shall be as provided
          in the  Letter of Credit  Documentation.  Letters of Credit may have a
          maturity  date up to twelve  months beyond the Maturity Date in effect
          from time to time,  provided  that if on the Maturity  Date, or on any
          earlier  effective  date of  termination,  there  are any  outstanding
          letters of credit  issued by Silicon or issued by another  institution
          based upon an application,  guarantee,  indemnity or similar agreement
          on the part of Silicon,  then on such date  Borrower  shall provide to
          Silicon cash  collateral  in an amount equal to the face amount of all
          such  letters of credit  plus all  interest,  fees and costs due or to
          become due in connection  therewith,  to secure all of the Obligations
          relating  to said  letters  of  credit,  pursuant  to  Silicon's  then
          standard form cash pledge agreement.  
          The Credit  Limit set forth above and the Loans  available  under this
          Agreement  at any time shall be reduced by the face  amount of Letters
          of Credit from time to time outstanding.

Interest Rate (Section 1.2):  
          A rate equal to the  "Prime  Rate" in effect  from time to time,  plus
          1.25%  per  annum.  Interest  shall be  calculated  on the  basis of a
          360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. "Prime Rate" means
          the rate  announced  from time to time by Silicon as its "prime rate;"
          it is a base rate upon which other rates charged by Silicon are based,
          and it is not  necessarily  the best rate  available  at Silicon.  The
          interest rate applicable to the Obligations  shall change on each date
          there is a change in the Prime Rate.
