The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 and the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the condensed consolidated

to present fairly the Company's results for the interim periods being

Common Stock splits.

The Company renewed the agreement with its bank which provides for an

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., formerly Noise Com, Inc., (the "Company")
develops, manufactures and markets a wide variety of electronic noise sources
and test instruments for wireless telecommunications. The Company's products
are used to test the performance and capability of satellite, cellular and
personal (PCS) communications, radio, radar, wireless local area network
(WLAN), high-definition television (HDTV) and other communications systems. To
further address the needs of the ever-evolving wireless telecommunications
industry, the Company has been developing and marketing test instruments
designed to fulfill the requirements of such customers. The Company is
expanding its product offerings to these customers as this emerging industry
is expected to provide an opportunity for substantial growth.
The financial information presented herein includes:
(i) Condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and as of the year ended December 31, 1995 (ii)
Condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and (iii) Condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.
OPERATIONS
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
period of the previous year, net sales increased to $16,437,840 from
$12,024,215 an increase of $4,413,625 or 36.7%. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous
year, net sales increased to $6,058,702 from $4,537,581 an increase of
$1,521,121 or 33.5%. These volume increases are the result of the continued
growth of commercial applications of the Company's products of which the most
notable are the sales of the Company's wireless telecommunications
instruments.
The Company's gross profit on net sales for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $12,205,270 or 74.3% as compared to $8,804,912 or 73.2% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995. Gross profit on net sales for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $4,624,576 or 76.3% as compared to
$3,353,719 or 73.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Variations in gross profit are attributed to the mix of product sales. The
Company continues to rigidly monitor costs associated with material
acquisition, manufacturing and production.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$3,824,521 or 23.3% of net sales as compared to $2,825,231 or 23.5% of net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Operating expenses for
the quarter ended September 30 , 1996 were $1,442,661, or 23.8% of net sales
as compared to $1,053,059 or 23.2% of net sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period of
the prior year, operating expenses increased in dollars by $999,290.
Approximately 32% of this increase is due to greater expenditures for research
and development of new products. An additional 31% of the increase is
attributable to greater advertising and selling expenses incurred to generate
sales and to expand customer awareness of the Company's wireless
telecommunications instruments. Also, additional personnel and increased
salaries accounted for 22% of the increase in dollars from 1995.
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period of the
prior year, operating expenses increased in dollars by $389,602.
Approximately 56% of the increase is attributable to greater advertising and
selling expenses. An additional 18% of this increase is due to greater
expenditures for research and development of new products. Additional
personnel and increased salaries accounted for 9% of the increase in dollars
from 1995.
Interest, dividend and other income increased by $40,990 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and by $15,933 for the quarter ended September 30,
1996. This increase was due to additional cash generated by operations.
Net income increased to $5,409,477, or $.31 per share, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $3,813,130, or $.22 per share for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995. Net income for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 was $2,062,062, or $.12 per share as compared to
$1,462,937, or $.08 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
The explanation of these increases can be derived from the analysis given
above of operations for the three and nine month periods ending September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's working capital has increased by $3,387,523 to $15,038,497 at
September 30, 1996, from $11,650,974 at December 31, 1995. At September 30,
1996 the Company had a current ratio of 12.3 to 1, and a ratio of debt to net
worth of less than .1 to 1. At December 31, 1995 the Company had a current
ratio of 13.9 to 1, and a ratio of debt to net worth of less than .1 to 1.
Net cash provided from operations has allowed the Company to meet its
liquidity requirements, research and development activities and capital
expenditures. The principal source of cash has been from net income. To
maximize the use of funds, management has been closely monitoring accounts
receivable and inventory.
Management believes that accounts receivable have been increasing commensurate
with the increase in sales. The Company has historically been able to turn
over its accounts receivable approximately every two months. This average
collection period has been sufficient to provide the working capital and
liquidity necessary to operate the Company.
Due to the Company's expanding product line, the volume of items and
accordingly the total dollar value of inventory has increased. As the Company
plans to further expand its product line, inventory is being monitored closely
to balance production requirements while maintaining manageable levels of
goods on hand.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
On January 29, 1996, May 13, 1996 and August 5, 1996 the Company announced the
declaration of quarterly cash dividends of $.03 per share, $.04 per share and
$.04 per share payable to shareholders of record on March 22, 1996, June 24,
1996 and September 23, 1996 , respectively. These cash dividends aggregated
$1,907,305 and were paid by March 31, 1996, June 30, 1996 and September 30,
1996, respectively.
In February 1996, the Company established a Foreign Sales Corporation.
On May 13, 1996 the Company announced the declaration of a two-for-one stock
split on the Company's common stock. The split was effective for shareholders
of record on May 22, 1996 and was paid on May 28, 1996. On June 12, 1995 the
Company announced the declaration of a three-for-two stock split on the
Company's common stock. The split was effective for shareholders of record on
July 5, 1995 and was paid on July 18, 1995. All share and per share data have
been retroactively adjusted to show the effects of these splits.
During 1995, the Company declared quarterly cash dividends aggregating
$1,430,755 or $.08 per common share. It is the Company's present intention to
maintain a quarterly dividend policy.
The Company believes that its financial resources from working capital
provided by operations and its bank line of credit are adequate to meet
current requirements.
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
The Company does not anticipate that inflation will significantly impact its
business nor does it believe that its business is seasonal.
