                                   (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 six month period ended September 26, 1999,
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be  expected  for the
fiscal  year  ending  March 26,  2000.  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 28, 1999.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Net loss per share is based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding. Net income (loss) per
share  calculations  are in accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share".  Accordingly,  "basic" net
income  (loss)  per share is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. "Diluted" net income
(loss) per share has not been  presented as the impact is either not material or
anti-dilutive. Inventories: Inventories consist of the following:

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

NET SALES
The  Company's  net sales for the second  quarter ("Q2 00") and six month period
("YTD 00")  ended  September  26,  1999,  were $1.6  million  and $3.1  million,
respectively.  Net Sales for the Q2 00 and YTD 00 period  were down 18% and 20%,
respectively,  when compared to $2.0 million and $3.9 million in the  comparable
periods of the prior year ("Q2 99" and "YTD 99").  The decrease in net sales was
primarily due to lower volume in military  aerospace products which decreased by
approximately  56% for  both Q2 00 and YTD 00 when  compared  to the  comparable
periods in the prior year. The Company completed deliveries on orders related to
a large  military  program  during the second half of fiscal 1999.  New purchase
orders under this military  program totaling more than $400,000 have been booked
and an  additional  order in excess of  $500,000  is  anticipated  during Q4 00.
Deliveries under these new orders will resume during Q4 00. During Q2 00 and YTD
00, shipments of Large Area Avalanche  Photodiode  (LAAPD) products (included in
net sales)  were 138% and 56% higher  than the same  periods in the prior  year.
While YTD 00 net sales from these  products  represented  8% of total net sales,
the  Company  anticipates  increasing  volume  from sales of LAAPD  products  as
markets begin to implement this "enabling" technology.

COST OF SALES
Cost of sales  decreased  by $12,000  (1%)  during Q2 00 and by  $233,000  (10%)
during YTD 00  compared to Q2 99 and YTD 99,  respectively.  The  decreases  are
primarily attributable to lower product shipments. Cost of sales as a percent of
net sales increased by 12 percentage  points in Q2 00 compared to Q2 99 and by 8
percentage  points  in YTD 00  compared  to YTD 99 due to a number  of  factors,
including  inefficiencies  associated with lower volume,  lower margins stemming
from variability in product mix, and decreased sales from engineering design.

OPERATING COSTS & EXPENSES
Research  and  development  costs for the Q2 00 and YTD 00 period were higher by
108% and 96%,  respectively,  when  compared  to  $115,000  and  $205,000 in the
comparable  periods of the prior year ("Q2 99" & "YTD 99").  The increase in R&D
costs is primarily due to two factors:  a.) higher  overhead  rates due to lower
overall  volume and b.) an  increase  in  internal  R&D  efforts as the  Company
focuses on  improving  its current  line of LAAPD  products as well as expanding
into new  derivatives of the patented  technology.  The Company is developing an
Extreme  Ultra Violet LAAPD capable of detecting low light levels well below 200
nm. In addition,  the Company  continues  the  development  of a new  generation
two-dimensional  LAAPD Array.  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.

                                       8

Marketing  and sales  expenses were  relatively  flat when compared to the prior
year. The Company believes its marketing and sales expenses will increase during
the remainder of the year as the Company  pursues its plan of adding  additional
sales  personnel,  increased trade show  attendance and substantial  print media
advertising.

General and  administrative  expenses increased by $132,000 (44%) to $433,000 in
Q2 00 compared to Q2 99 and by $111,000  (19%) to $682,000 in YTD 00 compared to
YTD 99 primarily due to severance  costs  associated  with a management  change.
General  and  administrative  expenses  before  the  impact of  severance  costs
decreased  by  $48,000  (16%)  and  by  $69,000  (12%)  in Q2  00  and  YTD  00,
respectively,  when  compared  to the same  periods  of the  prior  year.  These
decreases were primarily due to manpower  cutbacks and general efforts to reduce
costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At September 26, 1999,  the Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and short-term
investments of $2.3 million,  working capital of $3.8 million and an accumulated
deficit of $17.9 million.  The Company's cash,  cash  equivalents and short-term
investments  decreased  by $206,000  during the six months ended  September  26,
1999. Cash of $103,000 was used for operating  activities  (before cash provided
by  short-term  investments).  Cash of $103,000 was used for capital  equipment,
compared to $54,000 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 other derivatives of the
base technology.  The continued development of LAAPD derivative products as well
as revenue growth in the business may require additional funds.

The Company's  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, expired on July 16, 1999. The Company does not foresee a need for
borrowing based upon current projections and,  therefore,  has elected to forego
the costs for  maintaining  the line at this time. The Company  believes that it
would be most efficient to establish a line when the situation warrants.

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 is aware of the potential  for Year 2000  software  failures and the
associated impact on business  operations.  Software  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

                                       9
<PAGE>

engage in other similar normal business activities. The Company developed a plan
and identified Year 2000 Issues in certain  software  applications  and upgraded
such  applications with software that recognizes dates beyond December 31, 1999,
thus addressing a substantial portion of the Year 2000 Issue that may impact the
Company (the Company is currently  operating in its fiscal 2000 and,  therefore,
has proven its reliability). The cost of this project, as it relates to the Year
2000 Issue, did not have a material effect on the operations of the Company.  In
addition,  the  Company  made  inquiries  and  took  inventory  of its  "mission
critical" suppliers and manufacturing  equipment.  There are alternative vendors
and equipment  available to meet the "mission  critical" needs of the Company in
the event of unforeseen circumstances.


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.
