                        TESSCO Technologies Incorporated
                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
                                  June 27, 1997


1.  Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

    TESSCO Technologies Incorporated is a leading distributor of products to the
wireless communications industry. The Company serves over 6,500 customers per
month in the cellular telephone, personal communications services (PCS), paging
and mobile radio-dispatch markets, including a diversified mix of dealers,
cellular and paging carriers and self-maintained users. The Company offers a
wide selection of nearly 17,500 SKUs which are broadly classified as
infrastructure, mobile and portable accessory and test and maintenance.

    In management's opinion, the accompanying interim financial statements of
the Company include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position at June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the periods then ended. These statements are presented in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
the Company's annual financial statements have been omitted from these
statements, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. Readers of
these statements should refer to the Company's annual financial statements and
notes thereto as of March 28, 1997 and for the year then ended. The results of
operations presented in the accompanying interim financial statements are not
necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

2.  Earnings per Share

    In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings
per share previously found in APB No. 15, "Earnings per Share." It replaces the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS calculation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15.

    SFAS No. 128 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997,
and early adoption is not permitted. When adopted, it will require restatement
of prior years' EPS. When adopted for the year ended March 27, 1998, the Company
will report basic EPS instead of primary EPS. Basic EPS for the quarters ending
June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996 is $0.16 and $0.32, respectively.

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

First Quarter of Fiscal 1998 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 1997

         Revenues decreased by $2.5 million, or 6.9%, to $34.1 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $36.7 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Although there was an increase in unit volume, an expanded product
offering, and the inclusion of Cartwright Communications Company's revenues for
the entire quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to one month in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, there was an overall decrease in revenues due to the renegotiation
of, and accounting for, one of the Company's fulfillment services contracts. In
February 1997, the Company successfully renegotiated an existing fulfillment
services contract resulting in the elimination of any future accounts receivable
exposure. Correspondingly, with this change, the Company now reports as revenues
the net fees realized from the contract, instead of reporting the gross selling
price of the products shipped as revenues and reporting the corresponding costs
of goods sold. Revenues increased in two of the Company's three major product
categories, with the larger percentage increase experienced in the sale of
infrastructure products. Revenues decreased in the mobile and portable accessory
product category primarily due to the renegotiation and accounting treatment for
one of the Company's fulfillment services contracts. Infrastructure, mobile and
portable accessory and test and maintenance products accounted for approximately
56%, 31%, and 13%, respectively, of product revenues during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998. Revenues decreased in each of the three major customer
classifications, with the largest decrease experienced in dealers. Cellular,
paging and PCS carriers, dealers and self-maintained users accounted for
approximately 47%, 36%, and 17%, respectively, of product revenues during the
first quarter of fiscal 1998.

         Gross profit decreased by $212,000, or 2.4%, to $8.8 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $9.0 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, while the gross profit margin increased to 25.7% from 24.5%. The
gross profit decrease resulted primarily from reduced fees associated with
fulfillment services contracts. The increase in gross profit margin primarily
resulted from product and service mix changes, as well as the effect of the
renegotiation of one of the company's fulfillment services contracts and the
accounting treatment of that contract.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $740,000, or
11.1%, to $7.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $6.7
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in these expenses was
primarily attributable to the continued investment in personnel to build and
support future revenue and gross profit growth, increased marketing costs
associated with the transition of customers to competitive infrastructure
products, and Cartwright Communications Company's expenses being included for
the entire quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to one month in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased to 21.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to
18.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

         Income from operations decreased by $952,000, or 41.2%, to $1.4 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $2.3 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. The operating income margin was 4.0% compared to the
corresponding prior year's 5.9% primarily as a result of the increased operating
expenses as a percentage of revenues.

         Net interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was $201,000
compared to $136,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This change is a
direct result of increased borrowings incurred in connection with the Company's
acquisition of Cartwright Communications Company, the funding of the Company's
global logistics center, and increased working capital requirements during the
first quarter of fiscal 1998.


<PAGE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, compared to net cash used in operating activities
of $321,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This change was primarily the
result of a decrease in net income offset by changes in operating assets and
liabilities, particularly changes in accounts receivable and inventory offset
partially by changes in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities
decreased to $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $7.4
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This decrease was primarily due to
the Company's acquisition of Cartwright Communications Company during the first
quarter of fiscal 1997. Net cash used in financing activities was $633,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $7.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This change is
primarily a result of the Company's borrowing under its credit facilities and
proceeds from long-term debt to finance the Cartwright acquisition and the
global logistics center in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

         THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO FINANCING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made

                                    RECITALS

                                   AGREEMENTS

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower
and the Lender agree as follows:

defined in the Financing Agreement shall have the same meaning under this
Agreement.

         2. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

            (a) The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, and validly

            (d) All of Borrower's representations and warranties contained in
the Financing Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which the Borrower
is a party are true and correct on and as of the date of Borrower's execution of
this Agreement; and

            (e) No Event of Default and no event which, with notice, lapse of
time or both would constitute an Event of Default, has occurred and is
continuing under the Financing Agreement or the other Financing Documents which
has not been waived in writing by the Lender.

         3. The Financing Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

            (a) Section 1.1 of the Financing Agreement is hereby amended adding
the following:

                "AutoBorrow Service Agreement" means that certain AutoBorrow

         Lender, as amended, modified, restated, substituted, extended and
         renewed at any time and from time to time.

                "AutoBorrow Advances" means that portion of the Revolving Loans
         which have been advanced under the


                                       2

<PAGE>

         terms of the AutoBorrow Service Agreement and pursuant to the terms of
         Section 2.1.2(b) of this Agreement.

                      "Other Advances" means advances under the Revolving Credit
         Facility other than AutoBorrow Advances.

                  (b) Section 2.1.2 of the Financing Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety and substituted therefor is the following:

                       2.1.2  Procedure for Making Advances Under the Revolving
                              Loan; Lender Protection Loans

                              (a) The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving

                              (b) Up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the
         Revolving Loans at any time outstanding may be advanced under the
         terms, in the amounts and at the times provided in the AutoBorrow

         Facility.

                              (c) Other Advances under the Revolving Loan shall
         be deposited to the Borrower's demand deposit account with the Lender
         or shall be otherwise applied as directed by the Borrower, which
         direction the Lender may require to be in writing. No later than 10:00
         a.m. (Baltimore time) on the date of the requested borrowing, the
         Borrower shall give the Lender oral or written notice (a "Loan Notice")
         of the amount of the requested borrowing. Any oral Loan Notice shall be
         confirmed in writing by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days
         after the making of the requested Revolving Loan. In addition, the
         Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from
         time to time, without further request from or notice to the Borrower,
         to make advances under the Revolving Loan to cover principal of, and/or
         interest on, the Loan, the Obligations, and/or Enforcement Costs, prior
         to, on, or after the termination of other advances under this
         Agreement, regardless of whether the outstanding principal amount of
         the Revolving Loan which the Lender may make hereunder exceeds the
         Revolving Credit Committed Amount. In the event the Borrower chooses
         the LIBOR Rate under the Revolving Loan Rate, the Borrower shall give
         the Lender three (3) days prior written notice thereof.

                  (c) Section 2.1.3 of the Financing Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety and substituted therefor is the following:

                      2.1.3. Revolving Credit Note. The obligation of the
         Borrower to pay the Revolving Loan with interest shall be evidenced by
         two promissory notes (as from time to time extended, amended, restated,
         supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively the "Revolving Credit
         Note"), one of which shall be in the amount of $10,000,000, shall be in

         Advances; and the other shall be in the amount of $5,000,000, shall be
         in substantially in the form of EXHIBIT "A-2" attached hereto and made

         and shall be in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit
         Committed Amount. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if the
         outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan outstanding from
         time to time exceeds the aggregate face amount of the Revolving Credit
         Note, the excess shall bear interest at the rates provided from time to
         time for advances under the Revolving Loan evidenced by the Revolving
         Credit Note and shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND. The
         Revolving Credit Note shall not operate as a novation of any of the
         Obligations or nullify, discharge, or release any such Obligations or
         the continuing contractual relationship of the parties hereto in
         accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (d) Section 2.2.1(c) of the Financing Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and substituted therefor is the following:

                      (c) The term "Revolving Loan Rate" shall mean for
         outstanding AutoBorrow Advances the LIBOR Base Rate (as determined
         daily by the Lender assuming an

         Interest Period of 30 days and adjusted automatically, without notice,
         as of the effective date of any change to the LIBOR Base Rate) plus 125
         basis points. The term "Revolving Loan Rate" shall mean for outstanding
         Other Advance the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate for such Revolving Loan
         as chosen by the Borrower in writing prior to the making of such
         Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement, including the following basis points (the "Applicable
         Margin"), based upon the Borrower's reaching and maintaining the

           The initial Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio is assumed to be greater
           than 2.0 to 1.0. Upon the determination of the Fixed Charges Coverage
           Ratio at the end of each of the Borrower's fiscal quarters (beginning
           on the fiscal quarter ending March, 1997), the corresponding
           Revolving Loan Rate shall be in effect commencing with the first day
           of the month following the receipt of the applicable financial
           statements of the Borrower and continuing through and including the
           next determination of the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio. Provided,
           however, in the event that the Borrower fails to timely provide the

                  Lender with the financial statements required by Section 5.1.1
                  hereof, then the Lender may in good faith determine the Fixed
                  Charges Coverage Ratio and the Borrower may choose the
                  corresponding Revolving Loan Rate set forth above.


                  (e) Section 2.2.5(a) of the Financing Agreement is hereby
