   Sales increased 30% in the current quarter over the comparable quarter of
the prior year and increased 6% from the previous quarter.  Current year-to-date
period sales increased 25% over the comparable year-to-date period.  The
increase in the current quarter and current year-to-date over the respective
comparable periods was primarily attributable to an increased number of units
shipped in three of the Company's four product areas.  Low-power component sales
in the current quarter increased 47% over the comparable quarter of the prior
year and was approximately the same compared to the previous quarter. Current
year-to-date sales for these products increased 40% over the comparable year-to-
date period. This was primarily due to increasing demand for the Company's
surface mount resonator products, particularly for customers in the automotive
markets. Low-power Virtual Wire/R/ radio systems sales in the current quarter
increased 61% over the comparable quarter of the prior year and filter sales
increased 70% in the same time period. Similar increases for these products
occurred on a year-to-date basis. Sales increases for low-power Virtual Wire/R/
radio system and filter products resulted from continued increase in demand for
newer products that have a higher value added content. The increase in sales for
these three product areas was achieved despite lower overall average selling
prices resulting from competitive pressures and changes in product mix.

   Sales of frequency control module products decreased 49% from the comparable
quarter of the prior year and 56% from the comparable year-to-date period.  The
decrease in the current quarter and current year-to-date period was primarily
due to a decrease in both units shipped and average selling price to customers
in computer markets. Current quarter sales for these products did increase 47%
from the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of units
shipped of the Company's newer clock oscillator products in surface mount
packages.

   International sales (primarily in Europe and Asia) were approximately 50% and
46% of the Company's sales during the current quarter and the comparable quarter
of the prior year, respectively.  International sales were approximately 51% and
48% of sales during the current year-to-date period and the comparable year-to-
date period, respectively.  The Company considers all product sales with a
delivery destination outside of North America to be international sales.  These
sales are denominated primarily in U.S. currency.  The Company currently 
anticipates that international sales will continue to represent a significant
portion of its business. However, there can be no assurance that these sales
will continue as there are inherent risks in the Company's international
business activities which include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
tariffs and other trade barriers, additional cost of marketing and delivering
products into foreign countries, the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates and longer accounts receivable cycles.

   The Company's top five customers accounted for approximately 27% of the
Company's sales in the current quarter, 32% in the comparable quarter of the
prior year and 25% in the previous quarter. The reduction in the relative
portion of the revenues to the Company's top five customers from the comparable
quarter of the prior year to the current quarter was primarily a result of sales
to an increased number of customers.

   While the Company has achieved sales increases in prior periods, there can be
no assurance that such sales increases can be achieved in future periods. The
Company's success is highly dependent on achieving technological advantages in
its product design and manufacturing capabilities, as well as its ability to
sell its products in a competitive marketplace that can be influenced by outside
factors such as economic and regulatory conditions. The Company experiences
increased competition from companies that offer alternative technology solutions
or aggressive product pricing. There can be no assurance that competition from
alternative technologies or from competitors duplicating the Company's
technologies will not adversely affect selling prices and market share.

GROSS PROFIT

   Current quarter gross margin increased in comparison with the 39.6% in the
previous quarter.  The current quarter gross margin and year-to-date gross
margin of 40% and 39.8% respectively, also increased from 36.8% and 35.8% in the
comparable periods of the prior year, primarily reflecting improved gross
margins for both of the Company's low-power products lines, components and
Virtual Wire/R/ radio systems. For both product lines, reductions in average
selling prices resulting from increased price competition were more than offset
by reductions in per unit manufacturing costs.  The reduction in per unit
manufacturing costs resulted from continued improvements in yield and labor
productivity, purchasing cost reductions and an increase in the number of units
produced, allowing for fixed overhead expenses to be spread over a larger number
of units.  The increase in gross margin for the low-power product lines was
partially offset by a reduction in gross margins for frequency control module
and filter products resulting from lower average selling prices created by
competitive pressures.  There can be no assurance that lower average selling
prices resulting from competitive pressures will continue to be offset by
reductions in per unit manufacturing cost.  If average selling prices decline
more than per unit manufacturing costs, the Company's gross profit margin would
be adversely affected.

   The Company has in the past experienced sudden increases in demand which have
put pressure on its manufacturing facilities to increase capacity to meet this
demand.  In addition, new products sometimes require different manufacturing
processes than the Company currently possesses.  The Company has devoted 
substantial capital expenditures to increasing capacity and improving its
manufacturing processes.  There can be no assurance that the Company can
continue to increase its manufacturing capacity and improve its manufacturing
processes in a timely manner so as to take advantage of increased market demand.
Failure to do this would result in a loss of potential sales in the periods
impacted.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

   Research and development expenses in the current quarter increased
approximately $242,000, or 33%, over the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Current year-to-date research and development expenses increased 26% in
comparison to the comparable year-to-date period.  These costs increased due to
the Company's increase in staffing for these activities and in other product
development costs.  The Company believes that the continued development of its
technology and new products is essential to its success and is committed to
continue its investment in research and development.  The Company expects that
research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future
periods.

SALES AND MARKETING

   Current quarter sales and marketing expenses increased approximately
$392,000, or 38%, from the prior comparable period, primarily due to increased
sales commissions, increased staffing and increased marketing costs needed to
support the Company's increased sales.  Sales and marketing expenses increased
35% on a year-to-date basis.  Since sales and marketing expenses increased
faster than sales, such expenses increased to 14% of sales in the current
quarter, compared to 13% of sales in the comparable quarter of the prior year.
The Company expects to incur higher sales and marketing expenses in absolute
dollars in future periods as it continues to increase its contacts with
customers.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

   General and administrative expenses for the current quarter increased
approximately $55,000, or 8%, from the prior comparable period.  Current year-
to-date general and administrative expenses increased by 9% 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
in comparison with the comparable year-to-date period. Such increase was
primarily attributable to increased support for the Company's expansion. Since
sales increased faster than general and administrative expenses, such expenses
decreased to 7% of sales in the current quarter, compared to 9% of sales in the
comparable quarter of the prior year. The Company expects general and
administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

   Income from operations was approximately $1,095,000, or 10% of sales in the
current quarter, compared to approximately $539,000 or 6% of sales in the
comparable quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, current year
income from operations was 10% of sales, compared to 6% of sales for the
comparable year-to-date period. The increase in income from operations in both
absolute dollars and percent of sales reflects the increase in gross profit and
gross margin. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by an increase
in operating expenses, particularly for research and development and sales and
marketing expenses related to product and market development activities.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

   The Company's income tax expense in the current periods increased compared to
the comparable periods of the prior year, reflecting the increase in income
before income taxes for the respective periods.

NET INCOME

   Net income increased 121% to approximately $684,000 ($.12 per common share)
in the current quarter, compared to approximately $309,000 ($.06 per common
share) for the comparable quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis,
net income increased 118% over the comparable year-to-date period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The principal sources of liquidity at February 28, 1997, consisted of $5.9
million of cash and short-term investments and $7.9 million of unused credit
facilities.  These credit facilities include $4.8 million unused under a line of
credit agreement with a commercial bank which expires December 31, 1997, and
$3.1 million in an equipment-collateralized term lease facility with a
commercial bank.  The credit facilities contain restrictions and financial
covenants relating to various financial ratios, including net worth, interest
coverage and levels of debt compared to tangible net worth.  As of February 28,
1997, the Company was in compliance with such restrictions and covenants.

   Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.5 million and
$.6 million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Increased cash generated from operations was primarily due to an increase in net
income and non-cash items included in net income for the comparable periods.

   Cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.3 million and $1.3
million for the year-to-date periods of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively,
primarily as a result of capital expenditures. The Company expects to acquire a
total of approximately $5 million to $7 million of capital equipment by the end
of fiscal 1997, consisting primarily of equipment needed for its manufacturing
facilities. Some of this equipment may be acquired under the equipment-
collateralized operating lease facility.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
   Net cash used in financing activities was $.4 million for the current year-
to-date period, primarily related to payments on the line of credit and other
notes payable offset by the impact of common stock option exercises. Net cash
generated from financing activities was $1 million for the prior year-to-date
period, primarily related to the borrowings in support of the capital equipment
acquisitions offset by payments on these borrowings.

   The Company believes that cash generated from operations, if any, banking
facilities and the $5.9 million balance in cash and short-term investments will
be sufficient to meet the Company's operating cash requirements through the rest
of the fiscal year.  To the extent that these sources of funds are insufficient
to meet the Company's capital requirements, the Company may be required to raise
additional funds.  No assurance can be given that additional financing will be
available or, if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 7, 1996 the Company was served with a complaint filed by TimeKeeping
Systems, Inc. ("TimeKeeping") in the Court of Common Pleas for Cuyahoga County,
Ohio, captioned TimeKeeping Systems, Inc. v. R.F. Monolithics, Inc., No. 308658.
The Company is the only defendant named in the complaint.  The complaint
purports to state a single cause of action for breach of contract and alleges
that the Company failed to timely fulfill certain purchase orders TimeKeeping
issued in 1995.  The complaint seeks damages of $900,000 based primarily on a
claim of lost profits, however, in other contexts the plaintiff has asserted 
damages in excess of this amount. The Company has removed the action to the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, where it is
pending as No. 1:96 CV 1451. The Company has submitted a counterclaim for
$33,000 in unpaid billings plus related legal expenses.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
