certain  existing  stockholders  sold  1,218,130  shares of their  common  stock
holdings  to the  public and  certain  officers  and  directors  of the  Company
exercised  certain stock  options and warrants,  resulting in the issuance of an
additional 325,851 shares of common stock.

     The net  proceeds  to the  Company of  $10,032,900  from the  offering  and
$585,000  from the exercise of certain  stock  options and warrants were used to
repay the Company's  borrowing under a working capital  revolving line of credit
and for  general  corporate  purposes.  The  unaudited  pro  forma  supplemental
earnings  per share  would  have been $0.58 for fiscal  year 1995  assuming  the
Offering and the application of proceeds  therefrom occurred at the beginning of
the period.

     In connection  with the initial  public  offering,  the Company  effected a
three-for-one  stock split.  In addition,  the Company  increased  the number of
authorized shares of common stock to 9,500,000 and authorized  500,000 shares of
a newly-created  class of preferred  stock.  All references in the  accompanying
financial  statements and related notes with respect to common stock,  preferred
stock, and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the effects of
the split and the new number of authorized shares. The Company also approved, in
connection with the public offering, the granting of options to purchase 424,400
shares of common  stock at the initial  public  offering  price.

Executive  Officer  with a balance of $158,000.  This note bore  interest at the
annual short-term  applicable Federal rate. During fiscal year 1994, the Company
provided an additional  $232,500 to the Officer  under the note.  The total note
balance was repaid by the  Officer in March 1994.

4.  Borrowings Under Credit Facility:

     Effective  February  28,  1994,  the  Company  entered  into an Amended and
Restated  Financing and Security  Agreement  (the  Agreement)  with a bank for a
$10,000,000 revolving credit facility available through December 31, 1996. There
was no balance  outstanding  under the  Agreement as of March 29, 1996 and March
31, 1995. The Company repaid the outstanding  balance under the Agreement during
fiscal 1995 from a portion of the  proceeds  from the initial  public  offering.
Borrowings  are  secured by accounts  receivable,  inventory  and certain  other
assets of the Company.  Borrowings  available to the Company under the Agreement
are based upon the Company's trade accounts receivable and product inventory and
at March 31, 1995, the maximum borrowing  capacity was $10,000,000.  The Company
also pays a 0.25% fee based on the average daily unused balance.

     Interest  rates under the Agreement  are based on the  Company's  quarterly
debt service coverage ratios as follows:

  Debt Service
  Coverage                                                       Interest Rate

  Greater than 4.5                                  Prime or LIBOR plus 1 3/4%


     The  provisions  of the  Agreement  require  the  Company  to meet  certain
financial  covenants  and ratios  and  contain  other  limitations  including  a
restriction on dividend payments.

     During fiscal 1996, the Company renegotiated its existing revolving line of
credit. The new line is unsecured and bears interest at either the prime rate or
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with the minimum rate being LIBOR plus
1.75%. The unsecured line of credit expires on March 31, 1998.

     During fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, the maximum  borrowings  under the
revolving credit facility totaled $0,  $6,413,500 and $6,445,400,  respectively.
The average  borrowings  totaled $0,  $5,383,200  and $5,033,800 in fiscal years
1996,  1995 and  1994,  respectively.  The  weighted  average  interest  rate on
borrowings was 0.0%, 6.6% and 6.9% for the respective fiscal years.

     Interest  expense on the credit  facility for fiscal  years 1996,  1995 and
1994, totaled $0, $166,000 and $355,200, respectively.

of 10.2%. The Company also has several noncancelable operating leases for office
and  warehouse  facilities  and  equipment  that expire at various times through
December  31, 2000.  Rent  expense for fiscal years 1996,  1995 and 1994 totaled

8.   Retroactive Compensation Adjustment:

     During  fiscal year 1994,  the Board of Directors  approved a  compensation
adjustment for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company  totaling  $746,600,
related to  services  rendered  since  1984.  This compensation amount has been
shown as "retroactive  compensation  adjustment" in the accompanying statements
of operations.

9.   Income Taxes:

     A reconciliation  of the difference  between the provision for income taxes
computed at  statutory  rates and the  provision  for income  taxes  provided on
income is as follows:

                                        1996         1995          1994

     Total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of March 29, 1996
and March  31,  1995,  and the  sources  of the  differences  between  financial
accounting and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities which give rise
to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:


                                                   1996           1995

10.  Profit Sharing Plan:

     The Company has implemented a 401(k) profit sharing plan that covers all
eligible  employees.  Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of
the Company's Board of Directors.  The Company's  contribution to the plan
during fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $47,200, $69,800 and $9,000,
respectively.

11.  Asset Purchase:

     During fiscal year 1993,  the Company  acquired  certain assets and assumed
certain  liabilities  of  Cellular  Solutions  Incorporated  (CSI).  The  assets
acquired were inventory,  tooling,  catalog development,  and certain intangible
assets, including trademarks and trade names. In consideration for these assets,
the Company assumed liabilities of CSI totaling $1,362,000.  The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price being  allocated to the
assets  acquired  based  on their  estimated  fair  values.  The  excess  of the
liabilities  assumed over the fair value of assets acquired of $713,300 is being
amortized over 15 years.

12. Earnings Per Share:

     Primary and fully  diluted  earnings per share were  computed  based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  The
mandatory redeemable  convertible  preferred stock was converted to common stock
during fiscal year 1994 (see Note 7) and, as a common stock equivalent, has been
treated as if it was  converted at the beginning of the periods  presented.  The
dilutive  effect of all options and warrants  outstanding has been determined by
using the treasury  stock method.  The weighted  average  shares  outstanding is
calculated as follows:


                                       1996         1995         1994

 ................................................................................


     The "effect of change in share  price" above  represents  the impact on the
treasury stock method of the difference between the average share price during
the year and the year-end share price.

13.  Subsequent Events

     On April 18, 1996, the Company announced it had received a 30-day notice of
termination of its distributor agreement with Andrew Corporation. TESSCO filed a
lawsuit seeking a declaration  that Andrew violated the Maryland  Anti-Trust Act
and the Maryland Fair Distributor Act.

     The  Company  was  granted  an ex parte  injunction  pursuant  to which the
Company is assured a continued  supply of Andrew product.  The Company has asked
the court for permanent injunctive relief.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
TESSCO Technologies Incorporated:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   balance  sheets  of  TESSCO  Technologies
Incorporated as of March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995, and the related statements
of income,  changes in  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years ended
March 29, 1996, March 31, 1995 and April 1, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements  are free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test  basis,
evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes  assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements  referred to above  present  fairly,
in all material  respects,  the financial position of TESSCO Technologies
Incorporated as of March 29, 1996 and March 31,  1995,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for the years ended March 29, 1996, March 31,
1995 and April 1, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
