                             ADVANCED PHOTONIX, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                September 27,1998
                                   (Unaudited)

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 and six month periods ended September
27,1998, are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending March 28,  1999.  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 29, 1998.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net  Income  (Loss)  Per  Share:  Net  income  (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 or insignificant.

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 99") and six month period
("YTD 99")  ended  September  27,  1998,  were $2.0  million  and $3.9  million,
respectively.   Revenues  for  the  Q2  99  and  YTD  99  period  were  up  31%,
respectively,  when compared to $1.5 million and $3.0 million in the  comparable
periods of the prior year ("Q2 98" & "YTD 98").  Q2 99 revenues were the same as
the first quarter of fiscal year 1999 ("the previous quarter"), while net profit
improved by $13,000.

Net  product  sales for Q2 99 and YTD 99 were up $570,000  (41%) and  $1,145,000
(41%),  respectively,  when compared to the same periods of the prior year.  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 the first half of fiscal 1998. 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.  

                                       7
<PAGE>

The increase in net product sales was primarily due to higher volume in military
aerospace products which increased by approximately 58% and 68% during Q2 99 and
YTD 99, respectively,  when compared to the same periods in the prior year. This
increase was partially due to a large  military  program under which  production
deliveries  began in Q3 of fiscal  1998 and ended  during Q2 99. The Company has
been able to book  additional  military  and  commercial  business to offset the
revenues  lost  due to the  completion  of this  program,  but does  expect  the
percentage of military business to decrease slightly over the next few quarters.
Shipments of commercial products increased by 26% and 20%,  respectively,  in Q2
99 and YTD 99 when compared to the same periods in the previous year.  During Q2
99 and YTD 99,  shipments of Large Area Avalanche  Photodiode  (LAAPD)  products
(included in net product sales) rose by 29% and 629%,  respectively,  to $45,000
in Q299 and  $153,000 in YTD 99, when  compared to the same periods in the prior
year.  While sales from these products  represented  only 2% and 4% of total net
product  sales during Q2 99 and YTD 99,  respectively,  the Company  anticipates
increasing  volume from sales of its proprietary LAAPD products as markets begin
to implement this "enabling" technology.

Development  contract revenues during Q2 99 and YTD 99 decreased by $111,000 and
$211,000,  respectively,  as  the  Company  is  currently  not  working  on  any
government  funded  development  contracts.  The  Company was awarded a Phase II
Department of Energy (DOE) grant of approximately  $750,000 in June 1995, and in
December  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  (ARPA/NAWC).  Both contracts were completed  during fiscal 1998,
the DOE in Q3 and ARPA/NAWC in Q4.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of product sales  increased by $294,000  (34%) during Q2 99 and by $600,000
(33%)  during YTD 99  compared to Q2 98 and YTD 98. The  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to  the  incremental   cost  associated  with  increased   product
shipments.  Cost of product sales as a percent of net product sales decreased by
~3% in both Q1 99 and YTD 99 when compared to the same periods in the prior year
due to a number of factors including  improvements in operating  efficiencies as
well as improved margins on product mix.

Research and  development  ("R&D") costs decreased by $166,000 (59%) to $115,000
in Q2 99  compared  to Q2 98 and  decreased  by  $305,000  (60%)  during  YTD 99
compared  to YTD 98. 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 has  commercialized its
discrete  line of LAAPD  products  which in the  previous  year were still under
development.  The Company  continues  development of its next generation line of
LAAPD array products.  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.

Marketing  and sales  expenses  increased by $71,000  (33%) to $284,000 in Q2 99
compared to Q2 98 and increased by $73,000 (16%) to $534,000 for YTD 99 compared
to YTD 98. The Company  expects its marketing and sales  expenses to continue to
increase as the Company pursues its plan to grow revenues of the LAAPD family of
products.

General and  administrative  expenses increased by $139,000 (86%) to $301,000 in
Q2 99 compared to Q2 98 and by $115,000  (25%) to $571,000 in YTD 99 compared to
YTD 98. During Q2 97 the Company  recorded a one-time  reorganization  charge of
approximately  $288,000 related to management  changes and during Q2 98 reversed
approximately  $100,000 of this accrual.  General and  administrative  expenses,
before the impact of the one-time reversal of  reorganization  charges in Q2 98,
increased by $39,000 (15%) in Q2 99 compared to Q2 98 and by $15,000 (3%) in YTD
99 compared  to YTD 98.  These  increases  were  primarily  the result of higher
compensation costs.

Other income  increased by $4,000 (13%) in Q2 99 compared to Q2 98 and decreased
by $1,000 (2%) in YTD 99 compared to YTD 98.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 27, 1998,  the Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and short-term
investments of $2.5 million and working  capital of $4.1 million.  The Company's
cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments  increased by $146,000 during
the six months ended  September 27, 1998.  Cash of $199,000 was  generated  from
operating activities.  Cash of $53,000 was used for capital equipment,  compared
to $71,000 during the comparable period of the prior year.

To enable the  Company to meet its  capital  commitment  needs,  the Company has
historically supplemented cash provided by operations with proceeds from private
and public sales of capital stock and borrowings.  These funds have been used to
grow the core business and finance the development and initial commercialization
of the  Company's  LAAPD  technology.  While the Company  believes  that initial
commercialization  has been  completed  and has  reduced  its  expenditures  for
research and development,  it continues  development of proof-of-concept,  LAAPD
pixelized  arrays  as well as  other  derivatives  of the base  technology.  The
continued  development  of LAAPD arrays  beyond the  proof-of-concept  phase may
require additional funds.

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 has been approved for renewal  effective July 16,
1998,  will expire in one year and  provides  for interest to be paid monthly at
prime plus .5 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 September 27, 1998, no amounts were outstanding  under
any bank line of credit and there were no stockholder loans to the Company.

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.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company uses computer software programs  purchased from various  independent
vendors who may have written their  programs using a two digit date field rather
than a four digit field to define the applicable  year.  Such computer  programs
utilizing  a two digit  date field may  recognize  a date using "00" as the year
1900  rather  than the year 2000 (the  "Year 2000  Issue").  The Year 2000 Issue
could  potentially  result in a system  failure  or in  miscalculations  causing
disruptions of operations,  including among other things, a temporary  inability
to  process  transactions,  send  invoices  or  engage in other  similar  normal
business  activities.  The  Company has  identified  Year 2000 Issues in certain
software  applications  and is in the process of  upgrading  or  replacing  such
applications with software which recognizes dates beyond December 31, 1999, thus
addressing  a  substantial  portion  of the Year 2000  Issue that may impact the
Company.  The cost of this project, as it relates to the Year 2000 Issue, is not
expected to have a material  effect on the operations of the Company and will be
funded through operating cash flows.

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 16, 1998

         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
          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.
          
                                       1
<PAGE>

          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
          0.50%  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.

          following,  provided that,  after giving effect  thereto,  no Event of
          Default has occurred and no event has occurred  which,  with notice or
          passage of time or both,  would  constitute  an Event of Default,  and

          acceptable to Silicon.

          supplemental  security  agreements and take such additional actions as
          Silicon deems  necessary or advisable in order to perfect its security
          interest in such items of Borrower's intellectual property not already
          subject to Silicon's perfected security interest.
