GENERAL
Anaren Microwave, Inc. ("Anaren" or "the Company") was incorporated in New
York in 1967 as Micronetics, Inc., a name that changed to Anaren Microwave, Inc.
in 1967. The Company's executive offices are located at 6635 Kirkville Road,
East Syracuse, New York 13057. The telephone number is (315) 432-8909.
Anaren designs, develops, manufactures and sells complex microwave signal
distribution networks and components for the wireless communications, satellite
communications and defense electronics markets. The Company utilizes its
advanced, proprietary "Multi-Layer Stripline" technology to deliver compact,
light-weight, cost effective and highly integrated microwave products into the
rapidly expanding markets for cellular/Personal Communications Systems ("PCS")
base stations, microcells and new generations of communications satellites.
Anaren's customer base includes leading global systems suppliers for these
markets, including Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola"), Lucent Technologies Inc.
("Lucent"), Ericsson, Inc. ("Ericsson"), Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
Martin"), Loral Space & Communications Ltd. ("Loral Space & Communications") and
Hughes Space & Communications International, Inc. ("Hughes"). The Company is
also a leading provider of electronic counter measure subsystems which primarily
protect fighter aircraft. The Company has leveraged over 30 years of microwave
expertise to rapidly develop and implement leading commercial microwave
products, with commercial sales growing from $982,000 in fiscal 1995 to over $25
million, representing 67% of total Company sales, in fiscal 1998.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Worldwide demand for telecommunications services has grown rapidly in
recent years, including basic telephony, mobile cellular communications, video
broadcast, high speed data transmission and paging. Mobile communications serve
basic needs for convenience and flexibility and have grown at rates higher than
the overall market for telecommunications services. The trend has led to
increased growth in the number of subscribers for existing and emerging wireless
applications that are served by terrestrial and satellite based networks. This
demand has resulted in an increased need for cost effective and reliable
telecommunications equipment among service providers.
Telecommunications networks require interconnections and transmission
systems to link geographically dispersed nodes and to provide access to
customers and end users. Available transmission technologies include
twisted-pair copper, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, microwave radio
technology and satellite broadcast technology. Wireless solutions, terrestrial
and satellite, offer advantages over wireline, including typically lower cost of
implementation and relatively rapid infrastructure deployment. Wireless
solutions are especially superior where geographically dispersed customers or
operations, difficult terrain and environmental constraints render the
installation of copper, coaxial cable on fiber optic cable impractical or
prohibitively expensive.
2
Wireless Communications
The demand for cellular, PCS and wireless local loop ("WLL")
(collectively, "wireless") communications services has grown significantly
during the past decade, fueled by decreasing prices for wireless handsets, a
more favorable regulatory environment, increasing competition among service
providers and a greater availability of services and microwave spectrum. In
addition, many developing countries are installing wireless telephone networks
as an alternative to installing, expanding or upgrading traditional wireline
networks. Emerging bi-directional wireless data transmission applications have
the potential to further expand the market for wireless communications by
allowing service providers to increase revenue-generating traffic on their
networks. The growth in wireless communications has required, and will continue
to require, substantial investment by service providers in infrastructure
equipment.
A typical wireless communications system comprises a geographic region
containing a number of cells, each of which contains a cell site (or base
station), which are networked to form a service provider's coverage area. Each
base station houses the equipment that receives incoming telephone calls from
the switching offices of the local wireline telephone company and broadcasts
calls to the wireless users within the cell. A base station can process a fixed
number of radio channels, through the use of multiple transceivers, power
amplifiers and tunable filters, along with an antenna to receive and transmit
signals to and from the wireless telephone user.
Traditional cellular systems, which are based on analog technology, are
capable of carrying only one call per channel of spectrum. The continuing growth
for the wireless communications market has resulted in the crowding of
transmissions within the available spectrum. Because the radio frequencies
assigned to transmissions are fixed, service providers are now seeking new
methods to more efficiently use the spectrum to increase capacity. Analog
systems are being supplanted by digital systems, which convert voice
transmissions into bits of electronic information, allowing more calls per
carrier frequency, improved quality and improved security, thereby significantly
increasing the performance of a given wireless network. In addition to digital
cellular networks, which operate within the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bandwidths,
service providers have also begun to construct PCS networks operating within the
1800 MHz and 2000 MHz bandwidths. PCS networks generally require two to three
times as many base stations as cellular networks. As a consequence of these
factors, wireless service providers must anticipate evolving industry standards,
and must invest in infrastructure equipment that both maximizes efficiency in
the management of the limited spectrum licensed to them, and is available in
volume for rapid deployment. There is also strong demand for wireless
infrastructure manufacturers to provide improved performance in smaller, more
cost effective cells and microcells which operate at higher frequencies.
Satellite Communications
Satellites provide a number of advantages over terrestrial facilities for
many high-speed communications service applications. First, satellites enable
high-speed communications service where there is no suitable terrestrial
alternative available, or where the terrestrial alternative is inadequate.
Second, unlike the cost of terrestrial networks, the cost to provide services
via satellite does not increase with the distance between sending and receiving
stations. Finally, in contrast to the installation of fiber optic cable,
satellite networks can be rapidly and cost-effectively deployed.
Demand for commercial satellites is determined by several factors
including: growth in demand for new satellite-based applications such as mobile
telephone services, business networking, direct-to-home television and related
voice, video and data systems; development of new satellite-based communications
architectures to provide basic telephone and television services in developing
regions of the world; and replenishment of orbiting satellite constellations
nearing the end of their useful lives. During the next decade substantial launch
activity for commercial satellites is expected. There are at least four
large-scale telecommunications projects (Iridium, Global Star, ICO and
Teledesic) in various stages of development and implementation that are
contributing to the demand for commercial satellites. Launch cost and capacity,
which are directly related to satellite size and weight, are significant factors
in the viability of these proposed systems. As a result, current commercial
satellite designs are being driven to incorporate lighter weight, smaller and
more highly integrated subsystems and components.
3
Due to the narrowband frequency (10 MHz) allocated for commercial
satellites, system planners have moved from the traditional approach of
broadcasting signals over a large area of the Earth, to receiving and
transmitting via many small beams that cover much smaller areas of the Earth
(multi-beam transmission). The advantage of multi-beam transmission and
reception is that the same frequency can be used by different callers in
different beams (frequency re-use), allowing for significantly higher caller
capacity with the same amount of frequency allocation and increased system
sensitivity to allow for the use of lower-powered handsets. Caller capacity and
system sensitivity increase approximately in proportion to the number of beams
per satellite.
In addition, new multi-satellite systems are being developed in order to
provide the same global coverage for wideband (500 MHz) services such as
video-conferencing, data transmission, Internet access, and other multi-media
applications. These applications require significantly more bandwidth than
current voice communications systems because the information content in the
transmitted signal is much greater for these new applications. To implement
these systems, much wider frequency band allocations are required than have been
granted for existing voice communications systems. Such large bandwidth
allocations are not available at the operating frequencies of current
communications systems and regulatory authorities, therefore, have provided
wideband frequency allocations at 20-30 GHz, where a more limited base of
technology is available to implement the proposed systems. These proposed
systems are significantly more complex than current systems in that system
operators desire substantially more beams and increased flexibility. With
real-time adjustment of the size and location of the Earth being covered by a
particular beam and by incorporating signal switching networks into the
satellite payload, substantial improvements in system performance and
utilization rates can be achieved, thereby substantially increasing the revenue
generating ability of a satellite system. Increasingly, satellite system
developers are incorporating what has traditionally been ground-based
infrastructure into the satellite payload to improve system performance.
THE ANAREN SOLUTION
Anaren has developed a system of proprietary processes, called
"Multi-Layer Stripline" ("MLS") technology, which enable the Company to deliver
compact, lightweight, cost effective and highly integrated complex microwave
signal distribution and interconnection networks for wireless and satellite
communication systems. The MLS process integrates multiple layers of microwave
circuitry, allowing the elimination of discrete components and discrete
microwave cables, dramatically reducing size, cost and weight while improving
performance. The MLS technology is used in combination with the Company's
extensive proprietary design libraries and turnkey design, development and
manufacturing capabilities which are required to provide custom solutions for
major Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") customers. The technology has been
implemented into products utilizing passive components, including beamforming
networks and signal distribution networks, and is currently being utilized by
the Company to incorporate active devices, including switches, phase shifters
and amplifiers.
TECHNOLOGY
Traditional stripline technology, which the Company has historically
utilized in its Defense Electronics product line, consists of circuit runs
etched on dielectric sheets that are sandwiched in a precision machined aluminum
case. The case provides grounding on the top and bottom, and also provides a
structure on the edge for mounting connectors. Integration is achieved through
connecting multiple stripline components via numerous cables.
Multi-Layer Stripline technology is a technique of processing stripline
circuits, in which multiple layers of etched stripline circuits are laminated
together in a manner that is similar to digital Printed Circuit Board "(PCB")
manufacturing, but with superior microwave characteristics. Like PCB
manufacturing, layers can be interconnected via plated-though holes. The
Company's proprietary techniques, however, enable it to implement multi-layer
transitions that perform optimally at microwave frequencies. Unlike PCB
manufacturing, simply connecting the appropriate points on the multi-layer board
does not ensure adequate performance. In order to achieve optimal microwave
performance consistently, material and process variations must be tightly
controlled and the circuit design must take into consideration all variation in
the manufacturing process. The Company's microwave design engineering staff has
developed proprietary modeling techniques and component design libraries that
allow for consistent and efficient design and production of complex microwave
products.
4
The Company's microwave antenna beamforming technology, developed in the
defense industry, coupled with its MLS manufacturing process, produces
lightweight, cost-effective L band beamforming networks for Motorola's Iridium
Program. These passive networks provide multibeam coverage where the size and
direction of beams is fixed. Additionally, the Company is utilizing its MLS
technology and microwave design experience to develop cost effective solutions
for high data rate transmission applications, such as Internet access and
multi-media communications. In conjunction with Raytheon Company ("Raytheon")
the Company is developing a next generation of its MLS technology to address
applications at 20-30 GHz. In addition, the Company has developed high density
microwave switch matrices by incorporating active microwave switches into its
passive MLS technology, and is currently qualifying a production subsystem for a
commercial communications satellite program. These switch matrices are a key
element in providing the flexibility that system designers desire. In addition,
the Company is developing active beamforming networks, in which the size and
direction of the beams being produced can be remotely manipulated in real-time.
Through these advancements, system operators can direct capacity in response to
changes in demand, and more efficiently utilize their space infrastructure
assets.
STRATEGY
The Company's strategy is to attempt to continue to leverage its
proprietary Multi-Layer Stripline technology, extensive proprietary microwave
design libraries, and turnkey design, development and manufacturing capabilities
to further expand its penetration in the wireless communications and satellite
communications markets. Key components of the Company's strategy include the
following:
Increase Levels of Component Integration and Value Added Content. The
Company plans to increase the value of its content in wireless and satellite
communications systems. Through its MLS manufacturing technology, the Company is
able to integrate multiple discrete functions into a single assembly.
Integration of active technologies, such as switching and amplification, into
its MLS assemblies would significantly broaden the array of functions that can
be integrated by the Company on satellite and terrestrial wireless communication
systems.
Further Expansion into Commercial Markets. The Company has 30 years'
experience in microwave technology used in designing and manufacturing complex
microwave subsystems for the defense market. During the past four years, the
Company has successfully expanded into the commercial satellite and wireless
communications markets as demonstrated by its revenue growth from commercial
applications to 67% of net sales in fiscal 1998 from 5% in fiscal 1995.
Maintain Leadership in Microwave Technology. The Company intends to pursue
further technological advances through continued investment in research and
development. The Company will seek to advance its leadership in microwave
technology by continuing its participation in selected defense and satellite
programs that involve highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art microwave
technology. The Company will attempt to continue to leverage these technological
advancements into its terrestrial wireless products, as well as other commercial
applications.
Strengthen and Expand Customer Relationships. The commercial wireless and
satellite communications markets are driven by a limited number of large systems
manufacturers. The Company has developed customer relationships with many of
these manufacturers, including Motorola, Lucent, Ericsson and Northern Telecom,
Ltd. ("Nortel") for wireless communications and Lockheed Martin, Hughes, Loral
Space & Communications and TRW, Inc. ("TRW") for satellite communications. The
Company intends to continue to build strong technical and business relationships
with major customers that are global industry leaders in order to provide
opportunities for recurring high volume supply contracts.
Enhance Capabilities as Turnkey Supplier. The Company has in place
extensive design libraries, automated manufacturing equipment and statistical
process controls which have enabled it to competitively manufacture high volume
MLS assemblies. The Company intends to continue to expand, improve and automate
its design, manufacturing and test capabilities to provide innovative, cost
effective solutions. The Company believes that these investments are necessary
to maintain and enhance its position as a turnkey supplier to industry-leading
OEMs.

PRODUCTS
Wireless Communications
The Company provides custom microwave signal distribution networks to
leading wireless infrastructure equipment manufacturers. Traditionally, all of
the signal distribution (combining and splitting) within a base station has been
accomplished with discrete signal splitting/combining components with discrete
microwave cables providing the necessary interconnectivity. Through the use of
its MLS technology, the Company provides highly integrated microwave signal
distribution networks that eliminate the need for discrete componentry and
interconnecting cables. These integrated assemblies, which range from simple
splitting and combining networks to complete microwave backplanes, distribute
microwave signals throughout the base stations, from reception at the antenna,
to multiple radios, to multiple amplifiers, and back to the antenna for
transmission. Much like the mother board in a personal computer efficiently
provides interconnectivity of digital signals between multiple subsystems, the
Company's microwave signal distribution networks provide efficient
interconnectivity of microwave signals between subsystems in wireless base
stations.
In addition to providing custom integrated system level signal
distribution solutions to wireless OEMs, the Company has developed and markets a
line of standard surface mount microwave signal splitting and combining
components, trade named Xinger(R), that are used in terrestrial wireless
communications base station amplifiers. The Company originally developed these
products in response to customers' needs for economical, high power signal
splitting and combining components that could be utilized in an automated
production environment. The Company is currently the market leader in this
product area, supplying industry leading OEMs such as Ericsson, Motorola and
Lucent, as well as leading power amplifier manufacturers such as Powerwave
Technologies, Inc. and Spectrian Corporation.
Satellite Communications
The Company is a supplier of passive (fixed) beamforming networks for
communications satellite multi-beam antennas. These products are custom designed
for a particular satellite program, and determine the number, size and quality
of beams that are produced from a single antenna array. Multi-beam satellite
antennas, which can have more than 100 independently modulated beams, require
very complex microwave signal distribution matrices, which would be too bulky,
heavy and unreliable for use in satellites if they used conventional microwave
interconnection techniques. These networks are utilized by leading
communications satellite manufacturers to achieve the desired ground coverage
and to provide the desired capacity allocation. Through the forming of multiple
beams, service providers are able to allocate a satellite's capacity based on
projected demand, and to increase the number of callers that can be serviced
simultaneously. In addition, the Company has recently developed the capability
to produce high-density microwave switch matrices which allow the dynamic
allocation of satellite capacity, thereby increasing utilization and revenue
generation.
Defense Electronics
The Company is a leading supplier of certain subsystem products to the
defense electronics market, including Digital Frequency Discriminators ("DFDs")
and Digital RF Memories ("DRFMs"). These products are vertically integrated
within the Company utilizing advanced stripline, Application Specific Integrated
Circuits ("ASIC"), digital and signal processing technologies. DFD products
rapidly measure the frequency and other characteristics of radar signals. This
information is then used in electronic warfare systems to identify, classify
and/or counter radar systems. DRFM products digitize and store radar signals,
and can reproduce them in real time in counter advanced radar systems. DRFM
products are currently the only technology available that can replicate radar
signals with sufficient fidelity to counter today's advanced radar systems.
The Company also produces a wide range of standard component products for
defense applications. These products include mixers, couplers, power dividers,
pin attenuators and correlators that are utilized in a variety of electronic
warfare applications to perform various RF microwave functions including signal
distribution, measurement and frequency conversion.

CUSTOMERS
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, approximately 18% of the
Company's sales were attributable to contracts with prime contractors to
numerous offices and agencies of the United States government. The Company had
one customer who received shipments in excess of 10% of consolidated net sales.
Approximately 18% resulted from shipments to Motorola, Inc. under several
contracts. No one other contract and no other customer accounted for more than
10% of consolidated net sales.
During fiscal year 1998, sales to foreign customers, most of which were
prime contractors to foreign governments, accounted for approximately 20% of the
Company's consolidated net sales and included shipments to twenty-seven
countries. All the Company's contracts with foreign customers are payable in
U.S. dollars. See note 15 of notes to the consolidated financial statements for
the sales to foreign customers for each of the last three fiscal years.
Wireless Communications. The Company sells its custom wireless products to
major wireless infrastructure OEMs including Motorola, Nortel, Lucent and
Ericsson. In addition, the Company sells its standard line of
Xinger(R)components to leading OEMs and a broad range of other wireless
equipment manufacturers.
Satellite Communications. The Company currently sells satellite
communications subsystems to the world's leading satellite manufacturers,
including Lockheed Martin, Hughes, Loral Space & Communications and TRW. The
Company's subsystems are found on low Earth orbit satellite communications
networks like Motorola's Iridium program, as well as regional geostationary
Earth orbit communications satellites for Lockheed Martin. The Company is now
actively involved in developing products for a number of major, near-term
commercial satellite programs.
Defense Electronics. The Company currently sells its defense electronics
products to the United States and foreign governments through prime contractors
such as Raytheon, the Avionics division of ITT Defense and Electronics Company
("ITT Avionics"), Lockheed Martin and Racal, Ltd. The Company's DRFMs are being
utilized in ITT Avionics' portion of the Sanders division of Lockheed Martin's
IDECM program, an RF countermeasures subsystem to be used on multiple platforms,
including Navy F/A-18s and Air Force B-1D Lancer Jet bombers. In addition, the
Defense Electronics group has teamed with Lockheed Martin in the development of
a passive emitter location subsystem. The Company has also teamed with a large
defense OEM on a new, custom ASIC converter chip for next-generation receivers.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company markets its products worldwide to OEMs in commercial markets
and prime contractors in defense markets primarily through a sales force of 18
people generally organized by geographic territory and market segment. In
addition, the Company has contracts with 17 manufacturers' representatives in
the United States and 24 international representatives which are located in
Western Europe, the Middle East and Asia. As part of its marketing efforts, the
Company advertises in major trade publications and attends major industry shows
in the commercial wireless communications and defense markets.
After the Company has identified key potential customers in its market
segments, the Company makes sales calls with its own sales, management and
engineering personnel and its manufacturers' representatives. Many of the
companies entering the wireless communications markets possess expertise in
digital processing, but have relatively little experience in analog signal
processing and wireless transmission. In order to promote widespread acceptance
of its products and provide customers with support for their wireless
communications needs, the Company's sales and engineering teams work closely
with its customers to develop tailored solutions to their wireless requirements.
The Company believes that its customer engineering support provides it with a
key competitive advantage.
BACKLOG
The Company's total backlog of orders was $27.6 million and $32.8 million
at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's wireless products
accounted for approximately 10% and 6% of backlog
7
at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Satellite communications products
comprised approximately 29% and 37% of backlog at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Defense Electronics products accounted for approximately 61% and
57% of backlog at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
All of the orders included in backlog are covered by signed contracts or
purchase orders. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales,
particularly with respect to the Company's Wireless group. Accordingly, the
Company does not believe that its backlog as of any particular date is
representative of actual sales for any succeeding period. As part of the
Company's close working relationships with its major wireless communications
customers, these customers expect the Company to respond quickly to changes in
the volume and delivery schedule of their orders, and if necessary, to inventory
products at the Company's facilities for just-in-time delivery. Therefore,
although contracts with these customers typically specify aggregate dollar
volumes of products to be purchased over an extended time period, these
contracts also provide that scheduled shipment dates of particular volumes are
generally released to the Company only a few days or weeks prior to the actual
required delivery dates. In addition, the Company's customers may cancel or
defer orders without significant penalty.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company's research and development efforts are focused on design,
development, engineering and implementation activities. These activities include
customer-funded design and development, as well as efforts funded directly by
the Company.
The Company's net sales for fiscal 1998 included approximately $1.9
million paid by customers for the design and development of products to meet
their specific requirements. In any given year, the amount of customer funding
for design and development can vary widely depending upon the status of
particular contracts. The Company typically is not restricted in its use of
technologies developed through customer funding.
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The
Company receives fees under a technology development contract and such fees are
recorded as a reduction of research and development costs as work is performed
pursuant to the related contract and as defined milestones are attained. In
fiscal 1998 and 1997 Company funded research and development expenses were
$1,380,000 and $540,000, respectively, net of recognized product development
fees of $335,000 and $339,000, respectively, under the contract. Prior to fiscal
1997, the Company did not engage in technology development contracts. Company
funded research and development expenses were $1,185,000 million in fiscal 1996
and were funded solely from the Company's current operating budget.
The Company's current development efforts include: (i) advanced MLS
manufacturing processes for use in low-cost, light-weight satellite and wireless
applications; (ii) advanced manufacturing technology to produce millimeter wave
stripline structures for communication satellite applications; (iii) products
for use in cellular, PCS and other terrestrial wireless base station equipment
for both mobile and fixed wireless applications; and (iv) technologies for
airborne receiver systems.
MANUFACTURING
The Company's manufacturing operations are vertically integrated from the
production of specialized hybrid circuits to the final assembly of complete
subsystems such as DRFMs and antenna beamforming networks. Most of the Company's
contracts for assemblies and subsystems have required engineering efforts to
modify existing Company products to meet a particular customer's technical
needs.
The Company manufactures its products from standard components, as well as
from items which are manufactured by vendors to the Company's specifications. A
majority of the Company's commercial and defense electronics assemblies and
subsystem products contain proprietary MLS technology which is designed and
tested by the Company's engineers and technicians and is manufactured at the
Company's own facilities.
The Company continues to invest in the advancement of its proprietary MLS
manufacturing processes and in automation of the manufacturing processes of its
Wireless group. Automation is critical in meeting its customers' demands for
price improvement competitiveness, world class quality and on-time
8
delivery. The Company is also investing to enhance its responsiveness to
increased production demands from its wireless customers, as well as the need to
accommodate unpredictable surges in production rates that are common in this
market.
The raw materials utilized in the Company's various product areas are
readily accessible. The Company purchases most of its raw materials from a
variety of vendors and most of these raw materials are available from a number
of sources. The Company has one vendor from which it makes approximately 10% of
its total raw materials purchases, but the Company believes that alternate
sources of supply are readily available for these and all other products
purchases.
The Company utilizes skilled permanent and contract personnel in the
manufacture of its products. Quality assurance checks are performed on
manufacturing processes, purchased items, work-in-process and finished products.
Due to the complexity of the Company's products, final tests are performed on
some products by highly skilled engineers and technicians.
COMPETITION
The microwave component and subsystems industry is highly competitive and
the Company competes against many companies, both foreign and domestic, many of
which are larger, have greater financial resources and are better known. As a
supplier to prime contractors and OEMs, the Company also experiences significant
competition from the in-house capabilities of its actual and prospective
customers in all three of its market segments. Other competitors include
Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc. (satellite) S.T. Microwave, Inc. (defense), the
M/A-Com division of AMP, Inc., Mini Circuits Inc. and Filtronic Comtek, Inc.
The principal competitive factors in both the domestic and foreign markets
are technical performance, reliability, ability to produce, on-time delivery and
price. Based on a combination of these factors, the Company believes that it
competes favorably in its markets. The Company's most important competitive
attributes are its emphasis on technical superiority and its ability to produce
in quantity to specific delivery schedules.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company's wireless communications products are incorporated into
wireless telecommunications systems that are subject to regulation domestically
by the FCC and internationally by other government agencies. In addition,
because of its participation in the defense industry, the Company is subject to
audit from time to time for its compliance with government regulations by
various governmental agencies. The Company is also subject to a variety of
local, state and federal government regulations relating to, among other things,
the storage, discharge, handling, omission, generation, manufacture and disposal
of toxic or other hazardous substances used to manufacture the Company's
products. The Company believes that it operates its business in material
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, any failure to comply
with existing or future laws or regulations could have a material adverse impact
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
While the Company holds several patents, the Company relies primarily on a
combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and employee and
third-party nondisclosure agreements to protect its intellectual property, as
well as limiting access to and distribution of proprietary information. There
can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its
intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of the
Company's technology or to preclude competitors from independently developing
such technology. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, in the future,
third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company or with
respect to its products for which the Company has indemnified certain of its
customers. Asserting the Company's rights or defending against third party
claims could involve substantial costs and diversion of resources, thus
materially and adversely affecting the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. In the event a third party were successful in a claim
that one of the Company's products infringed its proprietary rights, the Company
may have to pay substantial royalties or damages, remove that product from the
marketplace or expand substantial amounts in order to modify the product so that
it no longer infringes such proprietary rights, any
9
of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1998, the Company employed 276 persons full time. Of these
employees, 70 comprise the engineering staff, 166 constitute manufacturing
personnel, 18 occupy sales and marketing positions, and 22 are in management and
support functions. In addition, the Company utilizes approximately 15 temporary
personnel in various positions throughout its organization.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal facility is a 105,000 square foot building located
on a thirty acre parcel owned by the Company in East Syracuse, New York. The
plant was constructed during fiscal 1981 and expanded during fiscal 1985. This
facility houses all of the Company's marketing, manufacturing, administrative,
research and development, systems design and engineering experimentation
activities. The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate to
meet its current needs and that suitable additional or alternative space will be
available on commercially reasonable terms as needed.
Anaren Microwave, Ltd., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the
United Kingdom, leases a 20,000 square foot facility in Frimley, England which
previously housed the administrative, marketing, and manufacturing operations of
that subsidiary prior to the Company's divestiture of its electronic warfare
simulator manufacturing operation in March 1996. Annual rental cost of this
facility is approximately $392,000 and the Company is presently subletting the
facility at the full lease rental value. The existing lease term on this
facility extends until 2014, however, and there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to sublet the facility during the remaining unexpired term
of the lease to an extent that is sufficient to offset its rental cost in whole
or in part.
The foregoing facilities are regarded by management as adequate for the
current and anticipated short-term future requirements of the Company's
business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings against the Company or its
subsidiaries.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements for the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of certain factors, including risk factors described elsewhere in this
Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in New York in 1967. Historically, the
Company has principally engaged in designing and manufacturing microwave
components and subsystems for the defense industry. In fiscal 1995, the Company
expanded its capabilities in order to serve the emerging commercial wireless and
satellite communications markets.
In order to better serve its emerging commercial markets, the Company
reorganized into three internal business groups during the first quarter of
fiscal 1996: Wireless, Satellite Communications (formerly known as Radar and
Telecommunications) and Defense Electronics (formerly known as Electronic
Warfare). Each business group is composed of an independent engineering and
marketing/sales team whose purpose is to develop, market and deliver products to
its customers. The Company believes that the reorganization has resulted in
better responsiveness to customer needs and has enhanced fiscal accountability
throughout the organization.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company terminated the
manufacturing operations of its European subsidiary, Anaren Microwave, Ltd. The
disposition of the net assets of this subsidiary resulted in a restructuring
charge of $810,000 during fiscal 1996. See Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The Company recognizes sales at the time products are shipped to its
customers. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in
the period in which such losses are determined.
The Company believes that it develops a significant amount of intellectual
capital through funded research and development. Customer-funded design and
development in fiscal 1998 represented approximately $1.9 million in sales
compared to $6.2 million in fiscal 1997 and $2.0 million in fiscal 1996.
The Company has conducted a full review of its computer systems to
identify the programs and systems that could be affected by the "year 2000
problem" and has developed and is continuing to develop an implementation plan
to resolve the problem. The "year 2000 problem" is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits instead of four to define the applicable
year. Programs with this problem may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 instead of the year 2000, resulting in system failures or miscalculations.
Although no assurance can be given, the Company presently believes that with
additional modifications to existing software and conversion to new software,
the "year 2000 problem" will not pose significant operational problems for the
Company's computer systems and that the cost of system modifications and
conversions will not have a material impact on the Company's operating results.
Operations for fiscal 1998 were highlighted by continuing escalation of
commercial Wireless sales, a resurgence of Defense Electronics sales and a
significant improvement in operating margins and net income over fiscal 1997.
Net sales for the year ended June 30, 1998 were $37.4 million, up 55% from
net sales of $24.2 million for fiscal 1997. Operating income for fiscal 1998 was
$5.6 million, or 15.0% of sales, compared to $2.0 million and 8.4% of sales in
the prior year. Net income was $4.1 million and $.79 per share (diluted) for
fiscal 1998, up significantly from net income of $2.1 million and $.47 per share
(diluted) for fiscal 1997.

Fiscal 1998 Compared to Fiscal 1997
Net Sales. Net sales increased 55% to $37.4 million for the year ended June 30,
1998 from $24.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. This increase was
driven by a 117% rise in shipments of Wireless products, a 52% increase in sales
of Defense Electronics products and a 1% increase in shipments of Satellite
Communications products. The increase in sales of Wireless products, which
consist of catalog surface mount and custom components for use in building
wireless base station equipment, was due to continuing strong demand by the
major wireless base station OEM's for the Company's custom products. Sales of
Satellite Communications products, which consist of custom multi-layer
components such as butler matrixes and beamforming networks for commercial and
military satellites, rose 1% in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997. Sales in
fiscal 1998 consisted of initial shipments of beamformers to Loral Space &
Communications, Ltd., as well as, continued shipments to Lockheed Martin on the
ACeS program and a program for Hughes. Sales of Defense Electronics products,
which consist of Digital Frequency Discriminators ("DFD's"), Digital RF Memories
("DRFM's"), ESM Receivers and Microwave Integrated Circuit Components ("MIC's"),
rose 52% to $12.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$8.1 million for fiscal 1997. This rise was a result of shipments of DRFMs for
foreign sales of the Airborne Self Protection Jammer ("ASPJ") system, which
first entered full production in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
Gross Profit. Cost of sales consists primarily of engineering design costs,
material, material fabrication costs, assembly costs and test costs. Cost of
sales rose 45.1% to $23.6 million (62.9% of net sales) for the year ended June
30, 1998 from $16.2 million (67.1% of net sales) for fiscal 1997. Gross profit
was 37.1% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to 32.9% of net
sales for the same period in fiscal 1997. The improvement in gross profit was
due to continuing economies of scale in the Wireless and Defense Electronics
groups resulting from the higher sales volume.
Marketing. Marketing expenses consist mainly of employee related expenses,
commissions paid to sales representatives, trade show expenses, advertising
expenses and related travel expenses. Marketing expenses increased 26.1% to $4.0
million (10.7% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $3.2 million
(13.1% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase is a result
of higher commission and advertising expenses related to increased sales volume
and further development of the marketing organization to support the Company's
expanding commercial markets.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist of material
and salaries and related overhead costs of employees engaged in ongoing
research, design and development activities associated with new products and
technology development. Gross research and development costs are reduced by
expense reimbursements received under a Technology Reinvestment Program through
Raytheon, for the Advance Research Project Agency of the United States
Government. Net research and development expenses increased 156% to $1.4 million
(3.7% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $.5 million (2.2% of
net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1997. Research and development expenses
expanded to support the increased development of wireless infrastructure and
satellite communications products.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 28.4%
to $2.9 million (7.7% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$2.2 million (9.2% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1997. General and
administrative expenses increased due to the hiring of additional employees,
increased staffing levels, higher professional fees and increased compensation
levels for existing personnel.
Interest Expense. Interest expense represents interest paid on the Company's
term loan and outstanding letter of credit. Interest expense decreased 13% to
$82,000 (0.2% of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $94,000 (0.4%
of net sales) for the year ended June 30, 1997, due to the payoff of the
Company's outstanding term loan in December 1997.
Other income. Other income is primarily interest income received on invested
cash balances. Other income increased to $922,000 (2.4% of net sales) for the
year ended June 30, 1998 from $114,000 (0.5% of net sales) for the year ended
June 30, 1997, due to a higher level of investable cash balances in the current
year as a result of the public offering completed in November 1997.
16
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $2.3
million (6.2% of net sales), an effective tax rate of 36%. The Company incurred
no income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 due to the utilization of
the remainder of its available loss carryforwards and substantially all of its
available tax credits in fiscal 1997.
Fiscal Year 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year 1996
Net sales. Net sales increased 41.8% to $24.2 million for fiscal 1997 from $17.1
million for fiscal 1996. Wireless sales increased 264.6% to $7.6 million for
fiscal 1997 from $2.1 million for fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily due to
significant shipments of custom base station components being built for Lucent,
Motorola and Nortel. Satellite Communications sales increased 51.0% to $8.5
million for fiscal 1997 from $5.6 million for fiscal 1996. The increase was a
result of substantial sales recognized for contract engineering design work on
two beamformers for commercial satellite applications for Loral Space &
Communications and Martin Marietta Overseas Corp. Defense Electronics sales
decreased 13.7% to $8.1 million for fiscal 1997 from $9.3 million for fiscal
1996. The decrease was a result of the decline in the overall worldwide defense
market, as well as the completion of a large DFD program in fiscal 1996.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 34.5% to $8.0 million for fiscal 1997 from
$5.9 million for fiscal 1996. Gross margin was 32.9% for fiscal 1997 compared to
34.7% for fiscal 1996. The decline in gross margin was a direct result of lower
margins on initial product runs of wireless custom components during the period
due to excess scrap costs and rework costs incurred in repairing production
units above normal levels in fiscal 1997.
Marketing. Marketing expenses increased 6.7% to $3.2 million (13.1% of net
sales) for fiscal 1997 from $3.0 million (17.4% of net sales) for fiscal 1996.
This increase was caused mainly by additions to marketing personnel in Europe, a
rise in commission expense due to the 41.8% increase in sales and a 23.7%
increase in advertising expenditures mainly for the Company's wide variety of
new commercial Wireless products.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 54.4% to
$540,000 (2.2% of net sales) for fiscal 1997 from $1.2 million (6.9% of net
sales) for fiscal 1996. This decline resulted from a significant increase in
customer funded engineering design work in both the Defense Electronics and
Satellite Communications groups during fiscal 1997.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 7.9%
to $2.2 million (9.2% of net sales) for fiscal 1997 from $2.1 million (12.2% of
net sales) for fiscal 1996. Approximately half of this increase was attributable
to normal increases in payroll costs for existing personnel, while the remaining
increase represented a small increase in new personnel, as well as increases in
professional services and stockholder expense.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 23.6% to $94,000 (0.4% of net
sales) in fiscal 1997 from $123,000 (0.7% of net sales) in fiscal 1996,
reflecting the Company's reduction of long-term debt.
Other Income. Other income decreased 23.0% to $114,000 (0.5% of net sales) for
fiscal 1997 from $148,000 (0.9% of net sales) for fiscal 1996, due to lower
investable cash balances caused by the Company's reduction of long-term debt.
Income Taxes. The Company incurred no income tax for fiscal 1997, versus an
expected tax expense of approximately $699,000 based on a 34% tax rate for
fiscal 1997. The difference between the actual tax expense and expected tax
calculated on income before income taxes was due to the utilization of
previously unrecognized net operating loss carryforwards and to a decrease in
the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the second quarter ended December 31, 1997 the Company completed a
secondary public offering of common stock. This offering resulted in the sale of
1,165,450 new shares and provided net proceeds to the Company after underwriters
fees and offering expenses of $19,750,000
17
Net cash provided by operations for the year ended June 30, 1998 and the year
ended June 30, 1997 were $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The
positive cash flow from operations in both fiscal 1998 and 1997 was due
primarily to the profit attained in both years. The relatively level cash
provided by operations in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997, despite the
higher level of income in the current year, resulted primarily from increases in
inventory due to the higher production volume.
Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 1998 consisted of funds from
the public offering which were used to purchase short-term investments and
capital equipment. Capital equipment additions in fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997
were $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These capital investments
consisted primarily of equipment needed to further automate production for the
Company's new Wireless and Satellite Communications products, as well as test
and production equipment for the initial production run of the ASPJ program.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $20.1
million and consisted of funds generated from the Company's public stock
offering and the exercise of Company incentive stock options. Of these funds,
$682,000 was used to pay-off the balance on the Company's term loan at the end
of December 1997. Cash used in financing activities for the year ended June 30,
1997 was $315,000 and consisted of payments on the Company's term loan and
capitalized lease obligations.
During fiscal 1999, the Company's major cash requirements will be for additions
to capital equipment, which have been budgeted at $2.6 million. These additions
are expected to be funded by cash generated from operations, as projected
operating cash flows should be more than adequate to meet these financing needs.
During December, 1997 the Company renegotiated its credit facility with its
bank, increasing the size of the facility and obtaining more favorable terms.
The new credit facility is an unsecured $10,000,000 working capital revolving
line of credit bearing interest at prime and maturing December 31, 2000. There
was no balance outstanding under this or the previous credit facility at both
June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. The terms of the credit facility require
maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum ratio of cash flows to
maturities, and leverage ratio as defined in the respective agreements. The
Company was in compliance with all restrictions and covenants at June 30, 1998.
The Company believes that its cash requirements for the foreseeable future will
be satisfied by currently invested cash balances, expected cash flows from
operations and funds available under its credit facilities.
Management believes the Company has the products, human resources, facilities,
and financial resources to continue its growth, but future revenues, margins and
profits are all influenced by a number of risk factors, including but not
limited to those discussed above.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors
Anaren Microwave, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Anaren Microwave, Inc.
and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Anaren Microwave,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ANAREN MICROWAVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1998, 1997, and 1996
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Anaren
Microwave, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company"). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
(b) Operations
The Company is engaged in the design, development and manufacture of
microwave signal processing devices which receive and analyze radar
signals and other microwave transmissions. Its primary products include
devices and systems used in the wireless communications market, the
satellite communications market, and defense electronics market.
Anaren Microwave, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, is incorporated in
England. As discussed in note 12, during fiscal 1996, the Company disposed
of substantially all of the net assets of Anaren Microwave, Ltd. and
discontinued its manufacturing operations. Currently, the Company
continues to maintain its marketing function in England to serve the
European marketplace.
(c) Sales Recognition
The Company recognizes sales at the time products are shipped to its
customers. Revenues and estimated profits on fixed-price contracts are
recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting by
relating contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs
at completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
(d) Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents of $11,160,395 and $3,776,312 at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, consist of certificates of deposit and money market
instruments having maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents
are stated at cost which approximates fair value.
(e) Marketable Debt Securities
The Company classifies its portfolio of marketable debt securities as
held-to-maturity in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, as the Company does not hold any securities considered to be
trading. Securities held-to-maturity are those securities the Company has
the ability and intent to hold to maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost. A decline in
the fair value of a held-to-maturity security that is deemed to be other
than temporary results in a charge to earnings resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security, and dividend and
interest income are recognized when earned.

ANAREN MICROWAVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Work-in-process inventories
related to fixed-price contracts are stated at the accumulated cost of
material, labor and manufacturing overhead, less the estimated cost of
units delivered.
(g) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of land
improvements and buildings is calculated by the straight-line method over
an estimated service life of 25 years. Machinery and equipment are
depreciated primarily by the straight-line method based on estimated
useful lives of 5 to 10 years.
(h) Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (Statement
128). Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, as well as dilutive potential
common shares which, in the Company's case, comprise shares issuable under
the stock option plans described in note 8.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the basic
earnings per share calculation was 4,984,307, 4,106,245 and 4,057,300 for
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For diluted earnings per share
purposes, these balances increase by 252,850, 225,417 and 0 shares for
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, due to the effect of common equivalent
shares which were issuable under the Company's stock option plans. All
earnings per share amounts for all periods have been restated to conform
to Statement 128 requirements. The adoption of Statement 128 did not have
a material effect on the calculation of earnings per share.
(i) Pension Plan
The projected unit credit method is utilized for measuring net periodic
pension costs over the employees' service life. Contributions are intended
to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also
for those expected to be earned in the future, and such contributions meet
the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

ANAREN MICROWAVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
(j) Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. The
Company receives fees under a technology development contract and such
fees are recorded as a reduction of research and development costs as work
is performed pursuant to the related contract and as defined milestones
are attained. In fiscal 1998 and 1997, the Company recognized product
development fees of $335,390 and $338,939, respectively, under the
contract, which were netted with research and development costs. Prior to
fiscal 1997, the Company did not engage in technology development
contracts.
(k) Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates.
(l) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash
equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and long-term debt, are stated at cost which approximates their
fair values at June 30, 1998 and 1997.
(m) Stock-based Compensation
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (Statement 123), beginning with
the Company's first quarter of fiscal 1997. Upon adoption of Statement
123, the Company continued to measure compensation expense for its
stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
has provided pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and
earnings per share as if the fair value-based method prescribed by
Statement 123 has been applied in measuring compensation expense.
(n) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

132), was issued in 1998. Statement 132 establishes combined formats for
the presentation of pension and other postretirement benefit disclosures
and is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Adoption of Statement 132 will be required in fiscal 1999 and is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statement
disclosures.

(6) Long-term Debt, Continued
In August 1985, Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA) issued
revenue bonds bearing interest at 75% of the prime rate in the amount of
$3,400,000. The proceeds from the bonds were used to construct additions to
the Company's manufacturing facility and for the purchase of additional land
and equipment. The related lease agreement, which matured on May l, 2000,
required semi-annual principal payments of $113,333, plus interest. In
October 1996, the bonds were extinguished with the proceeds of the term loan
described below.
In October 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for a credit facility
providing for (1) a $3,000,000 working capital revolving line of credit
bearing interest at prime plus 1% (9.5% at June 30, 1997), maturing on
November 30, 1998, and (2) a $906,667 term loan payable in semi-annual
installments of $113,333 through May 1, 2000, bearing interest at prime plus
1.25% (9.75% at June 30, 1997). The proceeds of the term loan were used to
refinance the OCIDA revenue bonds. Borrowings under the credit facility were
secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The Company paid the term
loan in full during fiscal year 1998 with the proceeds from the secondary
public offering as described in note 7.
In December 1997, the Company entered into an agreement providing for a
$10,000,000 unsecured working capital revolving line of credit bearing
interest at prime (8.5% at June 30, 1998), maturing on December 31, 2000.
There were no borrowings against the line of credit in fiscal 1998.
The terms of the revolving line of credit require maintenance of a minimum
tangible net worth, ratio of cash flow to current maturities, and leverage
ratio, as defined in the respective agreement. The Company was in compliance
with all restrictions and covenants at June 30, 1998.
Cash payments for interest were $93,148, $92,358 and $110,959 during fiscal
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(7) Common Stock Offering
During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company sold an additional
1,165,450 shares of its common stock in a public offering for $19,750,450,
net of issuance costs. A portion of the proceeds was used to pay bank debt
and other general corporate purposes. The balance of the proceeds is
reflected in the current year cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt
securities held-to-maturity accounts at June 30, 1998.

(8) Stock Option Plans
Under the Company's 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan (1988 ISO), 1,000,000
shares of common stock were reserved for the granting of options to officers
and key employees. Options were granted at the fair market price of shares at
the date of grant, become exercisable 20% at the date of grant and 20% per
year thereafter, and must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant.
No shares are available for grant under the 1988 plan as of June 30, 1998.
During fiscal 1996, an Incentive Stock Option Plan (1996 ISO) was approved,
under which 400,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance to
eligible employees. Options are granted at a price not less than fair market
value of shares at the date of grant, become exercisable 20% twelve months
from the date of grant and 20% per year thereafter, and must be exercised
within ten years of the date of grant.
The Company also has a Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (NSO) which allows for
the granting of options to Board members and nonemployees. Under the Plan,
100,000 shares of common stock were reserved for the granting of options at
prices to be determined by the Board (options granted to Board members may
not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant). Options become
exercisable immediately and must be exercised within five years of the date
of grant.
Information for the three years ended June 30, 1998 with respect to these
plans are as follows:

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during
fiscal year 1998 and 1997 was $12.86 and $4.71, respectively. The fair value
of options at the date of the grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes
model with the following weighted average assumptions for the respective
fiscal year:
1998 1997
---- ----
Expected life 5 5
Interest rate 5.81% 6.08%

Stock-based compensation costs would have reduced pretax income by $393,662
and $166,106 in fiscal 1998 and 1997 ($374,718 and $161,678 after tax and
$.08 and $.04 per share in fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively) if the fair
values of options granted in that year had been recognized as compensation
expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grant. The
pro forma effect on net income for fiscal 1998 and 1997 is not representative
of the pro forma effect on net income in future years because it does not
take into consideration pro forma compensation expense related to grants made
prior to fiscal 1996.

(9) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Benefits under this plan generally are
based on the employee's years of service and compensation. The following
table sets forth the plan's funded status at June 30, 1998 and 1997:

The projected benefit obligation was determined using an assumed discount
rate of 6.7% and 7.5% for fiscal 1998 and 1997, respectively, and an assumed
long-term rate of increase in compensation of 4.0% and 5.0% for fiscal 1998
and 1997, respectively. The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets
was 8.0% for fiscal 1998 and 1997.
Plan assets consist principally of equity securities, and U.S. government and
corporate obligations.
The Company maintains a voluntary contributory salary savings plan to which
participants may contribute up to 15% of their total compensation. During
fiscal 1996, the Company contributed an amount equal to 50% of the
participants' contribution up to a maximum of 3% of the participants'
compensation. In fiscal 1997, the Company increased its matching contribution
to an amount equal to 50% of the participants' contribution up to a maximum
of 5% of the participants' compensation. During fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996,
the Company contributed $173,369, $129,115 and $80,645, respectively, to this
plan.

(9) Employee Benefit Plans, Continued
During fiscal 1998, the Company instituted a profit sharing plan which
provides an annual contribution by the Company based upon a percentage of
operating earnings, as defined. Eligible employees are allocated amounts
under the profit sharing plan based upon their respective earnings, as
defined. Contributions under the plan were approximately $231,000 in fiscal
1998. While the Company intends to continue this Plan, it reserves the right
to terminate or amend the Plan at any time.
(10) Postretirement Benefits
The Company provides medical coverage for current and future eligible
retirees of the Company plus their eligible dependents. Employees generally
become eligible for retiree medical coverage by retiring from the Company
after attaining at least age 55 with 15 years of service (active employees at
June 27, 1993 were eligible by retiring after attaining at least age 55 with
10 years of service). Retirees at June 27, 1993 pay approximately $30 per
month for health care coverage and the Company is responsible for paying the
remaining costs. For this group, any increase in health care coverage costs
for retired employees will be shared by the Company and retirees on a
fifty-fifty basis, while any increase in coverage costs for retiree
dependents will be totally paid by the retirees. For eligible employees
retiring after June 26, 1993, the Company contributes a fixed dollar amount
towards the cost of the medical plan. Any future cost increases for the
retiree medical program for these participants will be charged to the
retiree.
The following table presents the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation at June 30, 1998 and 1997:

(10) Postretirement Benefits, Continued
For measurement purposes, an 8.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) was assumed for
fiscal 1998; the rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% by the year
2013 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate
assumption has an effect on the amounts reported. However, as the Company
contributes a fixed dollar amount to the plan for the active employee group,
this impact is minimized. For example, increasing the assumed health care
cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 1998 by
approximately $129,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended
June 30, 1998 by approximately $5,700.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% at June 30, 1998 and 1997.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of June 30, 1998 and 1997
was $233,044 and $583,104, respectively. The net change in the total
valuation allowance for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was a decrease
of $350,060 and $1,060,599, respectively. In assessing the realizability of
deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods
which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more
likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible
differences, net of the existing valuation allowances at June 30, 1998. The
deferred tax asset valuation allowance is principally related to the
recoverability of the Company's state investment tax credit carryforwards at
June 30, 1998 and 1997.
At June 30, 1998, the Company has investment tax credit carryforwards for
state income tax purposes of $655,840 which are available to reduce future
state income taxes, if any, through 2006.
The tax benefit associated with the exercise of stock options and
disqualifying dispositions by employees reduced taxes payable by $238,000 in
fiscal 1998. Such benefits are reflected as additional paid-in capital.
Cash payments for income taxes were $1,950,717 in fiscal 1998 and $0 in
fiscal 1997 and 1996.
(12) Restructuring
During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a restructuring
charge of $810,000 resulting from the disposition of the net assets of the
Company's European subsidiary, Anaren Microwave, Ltd. The charge includes
provisions for the writedown of assets to net realizable value, legal and
professional fees, and costs to complete an existing electronic warfare
simulator contract in excess of expected revenues. As of June 30, 1996, the
non-cash write-downs of assets and disposition related cash outflows had all
been incurred.

1996 was offset by sublease income of $242,435, $125,667, and $53,032,
respectively.
As discussed in note 1(j), the Company is currently engaged under a
technology development contract. Under this contract, the Company is
committed to provide research and development services through September
1998. Technology development fees and related costs under the contract are
anticipated to aggregate approximately $288,000 in fiscal 1999.
(14) Concentrations
In 1998, sales to one customer (approximately $6,800,000) exceeded 10% of
consolidated net sales. In 1997, sales to two customers (approximately
$3,400,000 and $2,700,000, respectively) exceeded 10% of consolidated net
sales. In 1996, sales to two customers (approximately $4,380,000 and
$1,720,000, respectively) exceeded 10% of consolidated net sales.
The Company and others, which are engaged in supplying defense-related
equipment to the United States Government (the Government), are subject to
certain business risks peculiar to the defense industry. Sales to the
Government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget
considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments
abroad and other factors. Sales to the Government accounted for approximately
18%, 16%, and 20% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively. While management believes there is a high probability of
continuation of the Company's current defense-related programs, it continues
to reduce its dependence on sales to the Government through development of
its commercial electronic business.
