NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     (Unaudited)



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain
        information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial
        statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to the rules and
        regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
        management, the statements include all adjustments (which are of a
        normal and recurring nature) necessary for the fair presentation of the
        results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements
        should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
        statements for the year ended March 31, 1997, as set forth in the
        Company's Prospectus, dated June 3, 1997, included in the Company's
        Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-22625).

        The Company uses a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday
        closest to March 31 of each year. The Company's other fiscal quarters
        end on the Saturday closest to June 30, September 30, and December 31 of
        each year. For purposes of this report (including the Unaudited
        Condensed Financial Statements included herein), each fiscal year is
        described as having ended on March 31, and each of the first three
        quarters of each fiscal year is described as having ended on June 30,
        September 30 and December 31.



2. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

        The Company charges all research and development costs to expense as
        incurred.



3. INCOME TAXES

        The provision for income taxes has been recorded based on the current
        estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate. For periods with
        taxable income, this rate differs from the federal statutory rate
        primarily because of the utilization of net operating loss
        carryforwards.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

RF Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops and markets proprietary
radio frequency integrated circuits ("RFICs") for wireless communications
applications such as cellular and personal communications services ("PCS"),
cordless telephony, wireless local area networks, wireless local loop,
industrial radios, wireless security and remote meter reading. The Company
derives revenues from the sale of standard and custom-designed products and
services. To date, a significant portion of the Company's revenues has been
attributable to the sale of RFICs used in cellular telephones and PCS handsets.
The Company offers a broad array of products, including amplifiers, mixers and
modulators/demodulators, that represent a substantial majority of the RFICs
required in wireless subscriber equipment. The Company designs products using
three distinct process technologies: gallium arsenide heterojunction bipolar
transistor ("GaAs HBT"), gallium arsenide metal semiconductor field effect
transistor ("GaAs MESFET") and silicon bipolar transistor. For the three months
ended June 30, 1997, 85% of the Company's revenues was derived from the sale of
GaAs HBT products. The Company may continue to rely heavily on sales of GaAs HBT
products in future periods.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth the statement of operations data of the Company
expressed as a percentage of total revenues for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>



REVENUES

Revenues increased 183% from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996 to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in
revenues during the three months ended June 30, 1997 primarily reflected an
overall increase in the volume of product sales to existing and new customers
primarily engaged in the manufacture of digital cellular and PCS handsets.

<PAGE>   9

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit margin increased to 49.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1997
from 31.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in production volumes during the quarter ended June
30, 1997; a reduction in average wafer costs, primarily attributable to quantity
discounts; and improvements in manufacturing, assembly, and test yields, which
reduced scrap and lowered the per unit cost of goods sold. The Company also
experienced favorable product sales mix and pricing for the quarter ended June
30, 1997.


The Company historically has experienced significant fluctuations in gross
profit margins. The Company believes that its gross profit margins have been
significantly affected by manufacturing, assembly and test yields. In
particular, in fiscal 1996, the Company experienced poor manufacturing, assembly
and test yields during the initial stage of developing a chipset for a customer.
Such yields also affected the Company's gross profit margin for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company believes the poor yields related to the
development of such chipset were attributable to the fact that such chipset was
used in one of the first CDMA phones designed for commercial production, which
caused several unexpected changes in product specifications during development
and the use of very precise specification requirements for final products.
Further, such customer was the first large OEM to order from the Company
significant volumes of RFICs, and the related increase in production volumes
initially resulted in an unacceptable amount of product scrap. There can be no
assurance that future operating results will not be affected by low
manufacturing, assembly or test yields. Further, the Company sells products in
intensely competitive markets, and the Company believes that downward pressure
on average selling prices will occur in the future.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were
$2.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and benefits
related to increased headcount and additional spending on mask sets, wafers and
prototype assembly for both standard and custom-designed products. Research and
development expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 20.2% for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from 35.8% for the three months ended June
30, 1996. The Company plans to continue to make substantial investments in
research and development and expects that such expenses will continue to
increase in absolute dollar amounts in future periods.

MARKETING AND SELLING

Marketing and selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.5
million compared to $608,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased salaries and benefits related
to increased headcount, increased commission expense and increased promotional
expense. Marketing and selling expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 decreased to 14.5% from 16.8% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997
were $492,000 compared to $255,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The
increase was attributable primarily to increased salaries and benefits related
to headcount increases. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenue decreased from 7.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to 4.8% for
the three months ended June 30, 1997.

<PAGE>   10

OTHER INCOME, NET

Other income, net, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased to
$175,000 as compared to $38,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from higher interest income earned on higher cash
balances due primarily to the investment of proceeds from the Company's initial
public offering.


INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 2.2%, which
is less than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 40%
due to the use of net operating loss carryforwards. Income tax expense for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 was approximately $26,000. The Company did not
provide for income taxes for the period ended June 30, 1996 because of the loss
incurred in such quarter.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
requires public companies to report basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
using the calculation methodologies set forth in the statement. SFAS No. 128 is
effective for years ending after December 15, 1997; thus, this pronouncement
will be adopted by the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998. SFAS
No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per share than is
currently required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 15. Under SFAS No. 128, the Company will be required to present both basic
net income per share and diluted net income per share. The Company's adoption of
SFAS 128 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's earnings per
share.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has funded its operations to date through sales of equity and debt
securities, bank borrowings, capital equipment leases and sales revenues. The
Company completed its initial public offering in June 1997, and raised
approximately $38.0 million, net of offering expenses. As of June 30, 1997, the
Company had working capital of approximately $48.2 million, including $36.9
million in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash used by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was
$5.5 million. The cash used by operating activities was primarily attributable
to an increase in inventories and accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts
payable, partially offset by net income of $1.2 million. The cash used by
operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was attributable
primarily to the $989,000 net loss and a $1.3 million increase in inventories,
partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable and an increase in
accrued liabilities.

The $1.4 million of cash used by investing activities for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 related primarily to capital expenditures. The $160,000 of cash
used by investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1996 also was
related to the purchase of capital equipment.


<PAGE>   11

The $41.5 million of cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 related primarily to the issuance of common stock in the
Company's initial public offering and the use of restricted cash for wafer
fabrication facility expenditures. The $63,000 of cash used by financing
activities for the three months ended June 30, 1996 related primarily to the
repayment of long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were approximately
$1.4 million. The Company anticipates that its capital equipment needs,
including manufacturing and test equipment and computer hardware and software
related primarily to the construction of the new GaAs HBT wafer facility, will
require additional expenditures of approximately $20.0 million during the
remainder of fiscal 1998.

The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances,
together with cash anticipated to be generated from sales revenues and financing
arrangements, will satisfy the Company's projected working capital and capital
expenditure requirements through the end of fiscal 1998. However, the Company
expects that it may need to raise additional equity or debt financing during
fiscal 1999 to finance a portion of the cost of the new fabrication facility.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will not be required prior
to such time. Further, there can be no assurance that additional equity or debt
financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
