Herley Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited)

1. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Herley Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. These financial statements (except for the
balance sheet presented at July 28, 2002) are unaudited and have not been
reported on by independent public accountants.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations for a full year due to external factors which are
beyond the control of the Company.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS
No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
Management adopted this standard on July 29, 2002 and has determined that
the adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No 144 "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long- lived
assets to be disposed of. SFAS No 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of", and retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for
(a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to
be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of
by sale. SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions
of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting
the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for segments
of a business to be disposed of, but retains the requirement of Opinion 30
to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and
extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been
disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is
classified as held for sale. The provisions of this statement were adopted
by the Company effective on July 30, 2001.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 requires, among other things, eliminating reporting
debt extinguishments as an extraordinary item in the income statement.
Management adopted this standard on July 29, 2002 and has determined that
the adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities
when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit
or disposal plan. Management does not believe the adoption of this standard
will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

6



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." The new statement is effective, with respect to the transition
provisions, for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002; and with
respect to the disclosure provisions, for financial reports containing
condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December
15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 provides transition alternatives for companies
adopting the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123
for stock-based employee compensation; and requires the pro forma
disclosures of SFAS No. 123 in interim condensed financial statements for
companies continuing to rely on APB Opinion No. 25 as if the provisions of
SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. The statement also requires that the
pro-forma disclosures of the impact on earnings and earnings-per-share be
provided in a tabular format and included in the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies or equivalent.

The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 148 was the inclusion of the
required disclosures in Note 1 of the Company's condensed consolidated
interim financial statements in quarterly reports beginning with this
initial Form 10-Q for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2003, and the addition of a
significant accounting policies Note 1 to be included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ending August 3, 2003.

The Company has various fixed option plans which reserve shares of common
stock for issuance to executives, key employees and directors. The Company
continues to use the intrinsic value method in accordance with the
recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for these plans. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
("SFAS 123") was issued by the FASB in 1995 and , if fully adopted, changes
the methods for recognition of cost on plans similar to those of the
Company. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123
and SFAS 148. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost has
been recognized for options granted under the stock option plans. Pro forma
information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by
Statements 123 and 148 has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method of Statement
123.

The fair value for options granted is estimated at the date of grant using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation
model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options
which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions
including the expected stock price volatility.

For purposes of computing pro-forma (unaudited) consolidated net earnings,
the following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of each
option granted for all periods presented:

Expected life of options 1.51 years
Volatility .68
Risk-free interest rate 2.8%
Dividend yield zero

Had compensation cost for stock options granted in the first nine months of
fiscal years 2003 and 2002 been determined based on the fair value at the
grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below using the statutory income tax rate of 34% (in
thousands except per share data):

Diluted .21 .16 .55 .06


The effects of applying the pro forma disclosures of SFAS 123 are not
likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income for
future years due to the various vesting schedules.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities under Statement 133. The Statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and
for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.

The provisions of Statement 149 that relate to Statement 133 implementation
issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to
June 15, 2003, will continue to be applied in accordance with their
respective effective dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to
forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities
that do not yet exist, will apply to existing contracts, as well as new
contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. Management has determined that
the adoption of this Statement will not have a significant impact on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity."
The Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures in its statement of financial position certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It
requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its
scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that
financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. Many of such
instruments were previously classified as equity. The statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31,
2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable
financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The Statement is to be
implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle for financial instruments created before the issuance of the date
of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period
of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. Management believes that the
adoption of this Statement will not have a significant impact on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. The Company entered into an agreement as of September 1, 2002, to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding common stock of EW Simulation Technology,
Limited ("EWST"), a British company of Aldershot, UK, which operates as a
wholly-owned subsidiary. EWST designs, develops and produces electronic
warfare simulator systems for prime defense contractors and countries
worldwide. The acquisition of EW Simulation Technology was driven by a two
part strategic initiative: a) to leverage the Company's microwave expertise
vertically into the international threat and jamming simulator markets, and
b) to increase the amount of microwave content supplied by the Company on
each simulator platform. This strategy will expand international revenues
from new sources and increase content to existing customers. The
transaction, which closed on September 20, 2002, provides for payment of
$3,000,000 in cash and a note for $1,500,000, including interest at 1.8%
based on LIBOR at the date of acquisition, payable in annual installments
of $500,000. The transaction has been accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", which requires that
all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. The
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect preliminary estimates
of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the
related allocations of the purchase price, and preliminary estimates of
adjustments necessary to conform EWST data to the Company's accounting
policies. The Company has engaged an independent third party to complete a
valuation of the intangible assets of EWST as of the acquisition date. The
final valuation of intangible assets is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. The final determination of the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed and final allocation of the
purchase price may differ from the amounts included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. The excess cost over the
preliminary estimated fair value of net assets acquired of approximately
$5,423,000 has been recorded as goodwill.

3. In September 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Terrasat, Inc. ("Terrasat"), a California corporation, for
cash of $6,000,000, $3,000,000 of which was paid in December 2000 and
$3,000,000 of which was paid in December 2001. In addition, the agreement
provided for additional cash payments in the future up to $2,000,000, based
on gross revenues through December 31, 2001. The targeted gross revenues
under the agreement were not achieved, therefore no addition cash payments
were made.

In January 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company determined that
Terrasat would no longer be able to generate sufficient returns to justify
continued investment due to the overcapacity in the telecom industry and
deteriorating economic conditions in Terrasat's primary markets. Therefore,
the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Terrasat and to seek a
purchaser for the business. Consequently, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect Terrasat as discontinued
operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Results of operations and cash
flows of Terrasat have been classified in the January 2002 financial
statements as "Loss from discontinued operations", and "Net cash used in
discontinued operations", respectively.

The sale of certain assets and liabilities, and the business of Terrasat
was consummated on March 1, 2002, effective the close of business January
27, 2002, to certain current employees of Terrasat for cash and a note
which approximates the value of the net assets held for sale as of January
27, 2002 of $878,000.

5. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the Company
generally designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the fair value
of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment
("fair value hedge") or (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the
variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized
asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"). Changes in the fair value of a
derivative that is designated as, and meets all the required criteria for,
a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or
liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current
period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is
designated as, and meets all the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified
into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The portion
of the change in fair value of a derivative associated with hedge
ineffectiveness or the component of a derivative instrument excluded from
the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded currently in earnings.
Also, changes in the entire fair value of a derivative that is not
designated as a hedge are recorded immediately in earnings. The Company
formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for
undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating all
derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to
specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm
commitments or forecasted transactions.

The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and
on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in
offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it
is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or if a
derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will
discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

In October 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a bank
pursuant to which it exchanged floating rate interest in connection with
the East Hempfield Township Industrial Development Authority Variable Rate
Demand/Fixed Rate Revenue Bonds Series 2001(the "Bonds") on a notional
amount of $3,000,000 for a fixed rate of 4.07% for a 10 year period ending
October 1, 2011. The notional amount reduces each year in tandem with the
annual installments due on the Bonds. The fixing of the interest rate for
this period

10



offsets the Company's exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest
rates on the Bonds, and as such has been designated as a cash flow hedge.
The hedge is deemed to be highly effective and any ineffectiveness will be
recognized in interest expense in the reporting period. The fair value of
the interest rate swap was a liability of approximately $118,000, net of
income taxes, as of May 4, 2003. There was no material hedge
ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges during the period to be
recognized in earnings. There was no gain or loss reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the quarter
ended May 4, 2003 as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge
due to the probability of the original forecasted transaction not
occurring.

6. In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account
for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non- amortization
approach, goodwill will not be amortized into results of operations, but
instead will be reviewed for impairments, which will be charged to results
of operations in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill is
more than its fair value. The provisions of this statement were adopted by
the Company on July 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No.142 resulted in the
Company's discontinuation of amortization of its goodwill as of July 30,
2001.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company was required to
assess goodwill for impairment within six months of adoption, and completed
its assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.

The Company operates as a single integrated business and as such has one
operating segment which is also the reportable segment as defined in SFAS
131. Within the operating segment, the Company has identified two
components as reporting units as defined under SFAS 142, defense
electronics and commercial technologies. The Company has determined the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting
units as of July 30, 2001. The Company determined that an impairment of
goodwill in the commercial technologies unit had occurred, and accordingly,
a transition adjustment in the amount of $4,637,000 was recorded as of July
30, 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. There
is no tax benefit associated with the adjustment since the impaired
goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill, based upon the preliminary
estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
related to the acquisition of EWST (See Note 2), for the nine months ended
May 4, 2003 is as follows (in thousands):

Balance at July 28, 2002 $ 21,665
Goodwill acquired during period 5,441
------
Balance at May 4, 2003 $ 27,106
======

An annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal
year and any future impairment of goodwill will be charged to operations.

Intangibles, consisting of patents having an estimated useful life of
fourteen years, are carried at an aggregate gross amount of $568,000 with
accumulated amortization at May 4, 2003 of $176,000. Amortization expense
for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2003 and April 28, 2002 was
approximately $10,000, and for the Forty and Thirty-nine weeks ended May 4,
2003 and April 28, 2002 was approximately $31,000. Estimated annual
amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is
approximately $41,000.

7. The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims which arise
in the ordinary course of its business. While any litigation contains an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of

11



such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. In connection with the
Robinson Laboratories, Inc. litigation, as discussed in Part II, Item 1.
"Legal Proceedings", at a proceeding on April 28, 2003, the Court decided
to delay ruling on all of the petitions for fees and costs until after
appeals are exhausted. Accordingly, by Order dated May 6, 2003, the Court
denied without prejudice all of the parties' petitions. On May 12, 2003,
Herley filed its appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit. No appeals have been filed by Robinson or RLI at this time,
although Herley anticipates that appeals will be filed.

EPS because the exercise price is greater than the average market price of
the common stock. The options, which expire through May 21, 2012, were

9. In March 2003, the Board of Directors approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan
which covers 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options
granted under the plan are non-qualified stock options. Under the terms of
the plan, the exercise price for options granted under the plan will be the
fair market value at the date of grant. The nature and terms of the options
to be granted are determined at the time of grant by the compensation
committee or the board of directors. The options expire no later than ten
years from the date of grant, subject to certain restrictions. No options
have been granted under the plan.

Results of Operations

Thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2003 and April 28, 2002

Net sales from continuing operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2003
were approximately $26,897,000 compared to $23,499,000 in the thirteen weeks
ended April 28, 2002, an increase of $3,398,000 (14.5%). Excluding the sales of
$4,265,000 attributable to the acquisition of EWST, revenue in defense
electronics microwave systems and components increased by $210,000. This was
offset by a decrease of $1,077,000 in commercial technologies.

The gross profit margin of 32.9% in the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2003 is
lower than the margin of 35.4% in the third quarter of the prior year. The net
decrease in gross margin is attributable to a combination of greater production
efficiencies, including automation, and a change in product mix; offset by the
investment in product design and development related to certain new programs, as
well as lower margins than the Company's historical margins from the EWST
revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended May 4, 2003
were 14.3% of net sales as compared to 15.4% in the third quarter of fiscal
2002. The net increase in expenses of $210,000 includes expenses of EWST of
$278,000, an increase in incentive compensation under employment contracts of
$192,000, and a decrease in commissions of $210,000. Various other line item
expenses decreased $50,000 in the quarter on a net basis.

Litigation costs related to the Robinson Labs litigation were $241,000 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2003, as compared to $585,000 in the third quarter of
fiscal 2002. (See Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings").

Other income increased on a net basis approximately $186,000 from the prior year
third quarter primarily due to interest earned during the quarter ended May 4,
2003 on the investment of cash reserves including the proceeds of approximately
$64,812,000 received from the sale of common stock to the public at the end of
April 2002.


14



Forty weeks ended May 4, 2003 and Thirty-nine weeks ended April 28, 2002

Net sales from continuing operations for the forty weeks ended May 4, 2003 were
approximately $79,202,000 compared to $67,552,000 in the first nine months of
fiscal 2002. The sales increase of $11,650,000 (17.2%) is attributable to
increased revenue in defense electronics of $16,365,000 (including $6,930,000
attributable to the acquisition of EWST); offset by a decrease in revenue of
$4,715,000 in commercial technologies.

The gross profit margin of 33.7% in the forty weeks ended May 4, 2003 is lower
than the margin of 34.0% in fiscal 2002 primarily due to the combination of
greater production efficiencies, including automation, and a change in product
mix; offset by the investment in product design and development related to
certain new programs, as well as lower margins then the Company's historical
margins from the EWST revenues.

Selling and administrative expenses for the forty weeks ended May 4, 2003 were
14.7% of net sales as compared to 15.2% in the thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2002.
There was a net increase in expenses of $1,337,000 which includes expenses of
EWST of $699,000, an increase in incentive compensation under employment
contracts of $749,000, and a decrease in commissions of $135,000. Various other
line item expenses increased during the forty weeks ended May 4, 2003 by $24,000
on a net basis.

Litigation costs related to the Robinson Labs litigation were $1,069,000 in the
nine months ended May 4, 2003, as compared to $956,000 in fiscal 2002. (See Part
II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings").

Plant closing costs in connection with the facilities in Nashua, NH and Anaheim,
CA were accrued in October 2001 in the amount of $406,000 of which $379,000 was
paid as of May 4, 2003.

Other income increased on a net basis approximately $697,000 from the prior year
primarily due to interest earned on the investment of cash reserves including
the proceeds of approximately $64,812,000 received from the sale of common stock
to the public at the end of April 2002.

Discontinued operations

In January 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company decided to discontinue the
operations of the Company's telecommunications subsidiary, Terrasat, Inc. and to
seek a buyer for the business. The Company believed that Terrasat would not be
able to generate sufficient returns to justify continued investment due to the
overcapacity in the telecom industry and deteriorating economic conditions in
Terrasat's primary markets. The sale of the assets and liabilities, and the
business of Terrasat was consummated on March 1, 2002 to certain employees of
Terrasat for cash and a note which approximates the value of the net assets held
for sale as of January 27, 2002.

Net sales of Terrasat were approximately $2,147,000 for the thirty-nine weeks
ended April 28, 2002. The net loss from discontinued operations was $921,000 in
2002. The results for 2002 includes an impairment of assets adjustment of
$1,166,000 and a tax benefit of $474,000.

Change in accounting principle

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" on July 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a
non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain
intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles
are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for
impairment and written down and charged to results of operations in the periods
in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its
fair value. The adoption of SFAS No.142 resulted in the Company's
discontinuation of amortization of its goodwill and certain intangibles as

15



of July 30, 2001.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company was required to assess
goodwill for impairment within six months of adoption and completed its
assessment in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.

The Company operates as a single integrated business and as such has one
operating segment which is also the reportable segment as defined in SFAS 131.
Within the operating segment, the Company has identified two components as
reporting units as defined under SFAS 142, defense electronics and commercial
technologies. The Company determined the carrying value of each reporting unit
by assigning assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and
intangible assets, to those reporting units as of July 30, 2001. The Company
determined that an impairment of goodwill in the commercial technologies unit
had occurred due to the overcapacity in the telecom industry and deterioration
economic conditions. Accordingly, a transition adjustment in the amount of
$4,637,000 was recorded as of July 30, 2001 as a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle. There is no tax benefit associated with the adjustment
since the impaired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

An annual impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year
and any future impairment of goodwill will be charged to operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 4, 2003 and July 28, 2002, working capital was $123,766,000 and
$129,012,000, respectively, and the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 8.8 to 1 and 9.5 to 1, respectively.

As is customary in the defense industry, inventory is partially financed by
customer deposits and progress payments. The unliquidated balance of these
deposits and payments was approximately $1,636,000 at May 4, 2003, and
$1,371,000 at July 28, 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to contract
awards at EWST.

Net cash provided by continuing operations during the forty weeks ended May 4,
2003 was approximately $10,046,000 as compared to $5,194,000 during the
comparable period in the prior year. Significant items contributing to the
sources of funds include income from continuing operations of $13,003,000
(adjusted for depreciation and amortization), and a decrease in costs incurred
and income recognized on uncompleted contracts of $2,439,000 primarily as a
result of the application of advance payments, and an increase in income taxes
payable of $2,157,000. Offsetting these sources of funds are a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,266,000, and an increase in
inventory of $5,731,000.

Net cash used in investing activities consists of net cash paid for the
acquisition of EWST of $2,542,000, and $2,994,000 for capital expenditures. The
Company has a future commitment for $1,500,000, including interest at 1.8%, in
connection with the acquisition of EWST payable in annual installments of
$500,000.

Net cash used in financing activities of $11,671,000 consists primarily of the
acquisition of approximately 776,000 shares of treasury stock, which has been
retired, for $12,187,000 under a stock buyback program approved by the Board of
Directors in October 2002 for the purchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of common
stock. In May 2003 the Board expanded the program by an additional 1,000,000
shares.

In June 2002, the Company entered into a new $50,000,000 Revolving Credit Loan
Syndication agreement with two banks on an unsecured basis which may be used for
general corporate purposes, including business acquisitions. The revolving
credit facility requires the payment of interest only on a monthly basis and
payment of the outstanding principal balance on January 31, 2005. The Company
may elect to borrow up to a maximum of $5,000,000 with interest based on the
FOMC Federal Funds Target Rate plus a margin of 1.50% to 1.80%, or up to a
maximum of

16



$45,000,000 with interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 1.35% to 1.65%. The
applicable incremental margin is based on the ratio of total liabilities to
tangible net worth, as those terms are defined in the agreement, ranging from
less than .40 to 1.0, to greater than 1.0 to 1.0. The FOMC Federal Funds Target
Rate and the LIBOR rate was 1.25% and 1.31%, respectively, at May 4, 2003. There
is a fee of 15 basis points per annum on the unused portion of the $45,000,000
LIBOR based portion of the credit facility payable quarterly. There were no
borrowings outstanding as of May 4, 2003 and July 28, 2002. Stand-by letters of
credit were outstanding in the amount of approximately $12,321,000 under the
credit facility at May 4, 2003.

The Company believes that presently anticipated future cash requirements will be
provided by internally generated funds, its existing unsecured credit facility,
and cash balances of approximately $79,000,000. A significant portion of the
Company's revenue for fiscal 2003 will be generated from its existing backlog of
sales orders. The backlog of orders at May 4, 2003 was approximately
$96,000,000. All orders included in backlog are covered by signed contracts or
purchase orders. Nevertheless, contracts involving government programs may be
terminated at the discretion of the government. In the event of the cancellation
of a significant amount of government contracts included in the Company's
backlog, the Company will be required to rely more heavily on cash reserves and
its existing credit facility to fund its operations. The Company is not aware of
any events which are reasonably likely to result in any cancellation of its
government contracts. The Company has $37,679,000 available under its bank
credit facility, net of outstanding stand-by letters of credit of approximately
$12,321,000.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue under certain long-term, fixed price contracts is recognized using the
percentage of completion method of accounting. Revenue recognized on these
contracts is based on estimated completion to date (the total contract amount
multiplied by percent of performance, based on total costs incurred in relation
to total estimated cost at completion). Prospective losses on long-term
contracts are based upon the anticipated excess of inventoriable manufacturing
costs over the selling price of the remaining units to be delivered and are
recorded when first reasonably determinable. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance. Actual losses could differ from those estimated due to changes in
the ultimate manufacturing costs. Risks and uncertainties inherent in the
estimation process could affect the amounts reported in our financial
statements. The key assumptions used in the estimate of costs to complete relate
to labor costs and indirect costs required to complete the contract. The
estimate of rates and hours as well as the application of overhead costs is
reviewed on a regular basis. If our business conditions were different, or if we
used different assumptions in the application of this and other accounting
policies, it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported on
our financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. Management adopted this standard on July 29, 2002
and has determined that the adoption did not have a significant impact on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to
be disposed of. SFAS No 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
and retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and
measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b)
measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also
supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions," for segments of a business to be disposed of, but
retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations
separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component
of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a
distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. The provisions of
this statement were adopted by the Company effective on July 30, 2001.

18



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS
145 requires, among other things, eliminating reporting debt extinguishments as
an extraordinary item in the income statement. Management adopted this standard
on July 29, 2002 and has determined that the adoption did not have a significant
impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Management does
not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123."
The new statement is effective, with respect to the transition provisions, for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002; and with respect to the disclosure
provisions, for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 provides
transition alternatives for companies adopting the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 for stock-based employee compensation; and
requires the pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123 in interim condensed
financial statements for companies continuing to rely on APB Opinion No. 25 as
if the provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. The statement also requires
that the pro-forma disclosures of the impact on earnings and earnings-per-share
be provided in a tabular format and included in the Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies or equivalent.

The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 148 was the inclusion of the required
disclosures in Note 1 of the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial
statements in quarterly reports beginning with this initial Form 10-Q for the 13
weeks ended May 4, 2003, and the addition of a significant accounting policies
Note 1 to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year
ending August 3, 2003.

The Company has various fixed option plans which reserve shares of common stock
for issuance to executives, key employees and directors. The Company continues
to use the intrinsic value method in APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for these plans. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") was
issued by the FASB in 1995 and , if fully adopted, changes the methods for
recognition of cost on plans similar to those of the Company. The Company has
adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. Accordingly, no
stock-based employee compensation cost has been recognized for options granted
under the stock option plans. Pro forma information regarding net income and
earnings per share as required by Statements 123 and 148 has been determined as
if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value
method of Statement 123.

The fair value for options granted is estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was
developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility.



19



For purposes of computing pro-forma (unaudited) consolidated net earnings, the
following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of each option
granted for all periods presented:

Expected life of options 1.51 years
Volatility .68
Risk-free interest rate 2.8%
Dividend yield zero

Had compensation cost for stock options granted in the first nine months of
fiscal years 2003 and 2002 been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below using the statutory income tax rate of 34% (in thousands except per share
data):

The effects of applying the pro forma disclosures of SFAS 123 are not likely to
be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years due to
the various vesting schedules.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement amends and
clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under
Statement 133. The Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003.

The provisions of Statement 149 that relate to Statement 133 implementation
issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15,
2003, will continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective
dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of
when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, will apply to
existing contracts, as well as new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003.
Management has determined that the adoption of this Statement will not have a
significant impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.


20



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." The Statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement
of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the
issuer. Many of such instruments were previously classified as equity. The
statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after
May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable
financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The Statement is to be implemented
by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for
financial instruments created before the issuance of the date of the Statement
and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.
Restatement is not permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this
Statement will not have a significant impact on the financial position, results
of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates,
and foreign currency exchange. The Company has not entered into any market risk
sensitive instruments for trading purposes. In October 2001, the Company entered
into an interest rate swap with a bank pursuant to which it exchanged floating
rate interest in connection with the Bonds discussed in Note 4 on a notional
amount of $3,000,000 for a fixed rate of 4.07% for a 10 year period ending
October 1, 2011. The notional amount reduces each year in tandem with the annual
installments due on the Bonds. The fixing of the interest rate for this period
offsets the Company's exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest rates on
the Bonds, and as such has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The hedge is
deemed to be highly effective and any ineffectiveness will be recognized in
interest expense in the reporting period. The fair value of the interest rate
swap was a liability of approximately $118,000, net of income taxes, as of May
4, 2003. There was no material hedge ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges
during the period to be recognized in earnings. There was no gain or loss
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during
the quarter ended May 4, 2003, as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow
hedge due to the probability of the original forecasted transaction not
occurring.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Report, the Company carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 adopted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings:

On August 14, 2001, Robinson Laboratories, Inc. ("RLI") and Ben Robinson
("Robinson") filed an Amended Complaint against Herley Industries, Inc.
("Herley"). Although the Amended Complaint sets forth fifteen counts, the core
allegations are (i) that Herley failed to issue 97,841 shares of common stock in
connection with certain earn out requirements contained in an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated February 1, 2000; (ii) that Herley breached an Employment
Agreement with Robinson by terminating his employment on August 5, 2001; and
(iii) that Herley breached a Stock Option Agreement dated January 31, 2000, with
Robinson. RLI and Robinson asserted (i) violations of state and federal
securities laws; (ii) fraud claims; (iii) breach of contract claims; and (iv)
other equitable claims arising from the above core factual allegations.

On September 17, 2001, Herley filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and
Counterclaims in this matter. In the Answer and Affirmative Defenses, Herley
denied the material allegations of the Amended Complaint. Herley also filed
Counterclaims against both RLI and Robinson. In these counterclaims, Herley's
core allegations concern Robinson's misconduct (i) in connection with the manner
he attempted to satisfy RLI's earn out requirements; (ii) misrepresentations
made in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement; (iii) wrongdoing as a
Herley employee leading to his termination and (iv) post-Herley employment
wrongdoing in connection with a new company known as RH Laboratories. In
addition to seeking a Declaratory Judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ss. 2201 et.
seq., Herley also asserted claims for, among other things, fraud, breach of
contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition and tortious interference
with actual and prospective contractual relationships.

On August 5, 2002, a jury trial commenced. A jury verdict was rendered on August
21, 2002 in which the jury determined, among other things, that (i) Herley was
not required to pay any additional stock; (ii) Herley breached the Employment
Agreement with Robinson and awarded Robinson $1.5 million in damages; (iii)
Herley breached the Lease Agreement with Robinson and awarded Robinson
approximately $552,000 in compensatory damages; (iv) Robinson breached fiduciary
duties to Herley and awarded Herley $400,000 in compensatory damages; (v)
Robinson and RLI breached indemnity obligations and awarded Herley $100,000 in
damages; (vi) RLI breached representations and warranties given to Herley and
awarded Herley $320,000 in damages.

On October 18, 2002, the Court entered a final judgment consistent with the
above, and both parties filed post-trial motions. Additionally, as the
prevailing party in connection with the claims asserted by RLI relating to the
earn-out stock, as well as claims advanced relating to the various breaches of
the Asset Purchase Agreement, Herley filed a petition for fees and costs against
both RLI and Robinson on November 27, 2002 for approximately $2,000,000. RLI and
Robinson also filed petitions to recover attorneys fees of approximately
$240,000 for certain claims in which they contend that they were the prevailing
party. On February 5, 2003, the Court denied the post-trial motions filed by the
parties, thus leaving the jury verdict undisturbed. At a proceeding on April 28,
2003, the Court decided to delay ruling on all of the petitions for fees and
costs until after appeals are exhausted. Accordingly, by Order dated

22



May 6, 2003, the Court denied without prejudice all of the parties' petitions.
On May 12, 2003, Herley filed its appeal to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Second Circuit. No appeals have been filed by Robinson or RLI at this
time, although Herley anticipates that appeals will be filed.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the ordinary course of its business. While any litigation contains an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the outcome of such litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
