PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General and Business

Giga-tronics designs, manufactures and markets microwave and radio
frequency (RF) signal generation and power measurement instruments. These
products are used primarily in the design, production, repair and maintenance of
telecommunications, radar, electronic warfare, and transportation systems.

Recent Developments - Acquisition of ASCOR, Inc.

The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
dated as of May 2, 1996 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), by and among the
Company, ASCOR Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of Giga-tronics ("Acquisition Corp.") and ASCOR, Inc., a California
corporation ("ASCOR") which provides for the acquisition by the Company of ASCOR
through the merger (the "Merger") of ASCOR and Acquisition Corp. The Merger will
be accounted for as a pooling of interests. ASCOR is a privately-held company in
Fremont, California that designs, manufactures and markets a line of switching
and connecting devices that link together many specific purpose instruments that
comprise a portion of automatic test systems. ASCOR sales are primarily U.S.
government related orders.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (i) Acquisition Corp. will be
merged with and into ASCOR and ASCOR will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Giga-tronics; (ii) each (a) share of ASCOR no par value Common Stock ("ASCOR
Common Stock") and no par value preferred stock ("ASCOR Preferred Stock" and,
together with ASCOR Common Stock, the "ASCOR Shares") outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger (other than ASCOR Shares held by shareholders who have
perfected and not withdrawn their right to seek appraisal of their shares under
applicable California law) and (b) outstanding options for the purchase of ASCOR
Shares ("ASCOR Option") and warrants exercisable for the purchase of ASCOR
Shares ("ASCOR Warrant" and, together with any ASCOR Options, the "ASCOR
Convertible Securities") will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata
portion of an aggregate of 724,986 Shares of Giga-tronics Common Stock to be
issued in the Merger (the "Merger Consideration"). In determining the fraction
of a Giga-tronics Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") which holders of ASCOR Shares and
ASCOR Convertible Securities (collectively "ASCOR Securities") will be entitled
to receive, all ASCOR Convertible Securities will be treated as having been
converted or exercised into ASCOR Shares. Any ASCOR Convertible Securities which
are considered "out-of-the-money" will be assumed by Giga-tronics and will be
exercisable for Giga-tronics Common Stock as adjusted by the Merger. Shares of
Giga-tronics Common Stock attributable to ASCOR Convertible Securities which are
assumed by Giga-tronics will be retained by Giga-tronics from the Merger
Consideration pending their exercise.

In a Letter Agreement between the Company and ASCOR dated May 20, 1996
amending the Reorganization Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best
faith efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and cause the
effectiveness

3.





under federal securities law of, a registration statement on Form S-4 (or such
other form as may be applicable) covering the shares of Giga-tronics Common
Stock to be issued in the Merger. If the Company Common Stock issued in the
Merger is not issued pursuant to such an effective registration statement, the
Reorganization Agreement contemplates that the Company Common Stock would be
issued pursuant to an exemption from registration and be legended to indicate
that it is not freely transferable. The Reorganization Agreement provides that
if the Company Common Stock issuable in the Merger is not issued pursuant to an
effective registration statement, at the closing of the Merger, the Company will
enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with each of the former holders of
ASCOR Securities granting them registration rights, including (a) one demand
registration and (b) piggyback registration rights.

The Merger will be effective at the time an Agreement of Merger is
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California. Assuming all
conditions to the Merger are met or waived prior thereto, it is anticipated that
the Effective Time will occur late in the first fiscal quarter or during the
second fiscal quarter of 1997.

Industry Segments

Giga-tronics operates in one industry segment: electronic test and
measurement equipment.

Products and Markets

Giga-tronics produces signal sources, generators and sweepers, and
power measurement instruments for use in the microwave and RF frequency range
(10 kHz to 75 GHz). Within each product line are a number of different models
and options allowing customers to select frequency range and specialized
capabilities, features and functions.

The end-user markets can be divided into three broad segments:
telecommunications, radar and electronic warfare. Giga-tronics' instruments are
used in the design, production, repair and maintenance and calibration of other
manufacturers' products, from discrete components to complex systems.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Components

Substantially all of the components required by the Company to make its
assemblies are available from more than one source. The Company occasionally
uses sole source arrangements to obtain leading-edge technology, favorable
pricing or supply terms. Although extended delays in delivering components could
result in longer product delivery schedules, the Company believes that its
protection against this possibility stems from its practice of dealing with
well-established suppliers and maintaining good relationships with such
suppliers.

Patents and Licenses

The Company attempts to obtain patents when appropriate. In addition,
the Company has acquired numerous patents in the course of its two recent
acquisitions.

4.





However, the Company believes that its competitive position depends on the
creative ability and technical competence of its personnel and the timely
introduction of new products rather than on the ownership or development of
patents.

The Company licenses certain instrument operating system software from
third parties. Other than such software licenses, the Company is not aware that
the manufacture and sale of its products requires licenses from others. The
Company believes, based on industry practice, that any necessary licenses could
be obtained on conditions which would not have a materially adverse financial
effect on the Company.

Seasonal Nature of Business

The business of the Company is not seasonal.

Working Capital Practices

The Company does not believe that it has any special practices or
special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for an
understanding of its business.

Importance of Limited Number of Customers

Since its inception, the Company has been a leading supplier of test
instruments to various U.S. Government defense agencies, as well as to their
prime contractors. U.S. Government agencies accounted for 31%, 26%, and 27% of
net sales in fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Management anticipates
sales to U.S. Government agencies will remain significant in fiscal 1997, even
though the outlook for defense-related orders continues to be soft.

Backlog of Orders

On March 30, 1996, Giga-tronics had a backlog of approximately
$6,112,000 compared to $10,154,000 at March 25, 1995. Orders for the Company's
products include large program orders, from both the U.S. Government and defense
contractors, with extended delivery dates. Accordingly, the backlog of orders
may vary substantially from quarter to quarter and the backlog entering any
single quarter may not necessarily be indicative of sales for any period.

Backlog includes only those customer orders for which a delivery
schedule has been agreed upon between Giga-tronics and the customer and, in the
case of U.S. Government orders, for which funding has been appropriated.
Giga-tronics believes that essentially all of the year ending backlog will be
shipped within the next twelve months.

A substantial portion of the year-end backlog consisted of U.S.
Government contracts. These contracts contain customary provisions permitting
termination at the convenience of the Government upon payment of a negotiated
cancellation charge. The Company never has experienced a significant contract
termination.


5.



Competition

The principal competitive factors in the marketing of microwave and RF
test instruments include product functionality, reliability and price. The
Company competes mainly with Hewlett-Packard, Anritsu, Marconi and Rohde &
Schwarz. These competitors are larger and have greater financial, engineering
and marketing resources than the Company. Nonetheless, the Company believes that
within its chosen markets and applications, its products are fully competitive
with those of other manufacturers.

Product Development

Microwave and RF test instruments of the type manufactured by
Giga-tronics historically have had relatively long product life cycles. However,
the electronics industry is subject to rapid technological changes at the
component level. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability
to steadily incorporate advancements in semiconductor and related microwave
component technologies into its new products.

Product development expense was approximately $2,512,000, $2,700,000
and $2,569,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Activities included
the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. It is
management's intention to maintain expenditures for product development at
levels required to sustain its competitive position. All of the Company's
product development activities are internally funded and expensed as incurred.

Manufacturing

The assembly and testing of the Company's microwave, RF and power
measurement products is done at its relatively new San Ramon facility. The
Sunnyvale manufacturing operations (performing assembly and test of power
measurement products) relocated to the San Ramon facility in July, 1995.

Environment

To the best of its knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all
federal, state and local laws and regulations involving the protection of the
environment.

Employees

As of March 30, 1996, the Company employed 146 persons. Management
believes that the future success of the Company depends on its ability to
attract and retain skilled personnel. None of the Company's employees is
represented by a labor union and the Company considers its employee relations to
be excellent.

Information about Foreign Operations

The Company sells to its international customers through a network of
foreign technical sales representative organizations. Sales to foreign customers
were approximately $6,791,000, $4,458,000, and $4,544,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

6.




The Company has no foreign-based operations or material amount of
identifiable assets in foreign countries. Its gross margins on foreign and
domestic sales are similar. Management does not believe that foreign sales are
subject to materially greater risks than domestic sales.

Outlook

Even though the Company has now achieved more balance between its
defense and commercial businesses, defense related orders remain very important
to the Company. The outlook for such orders continues to be soft. The Company
believes that some growth can be realized by sustaining an effective new product
development program, aggressively pursuing new markets, vigorously competing for
defense business, and making synergistic acquisitions.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of March 30, 1996, the Company's executive, marketing, sales and
engineering offices and manufacturing facilities are located in approximately
47,000 square feet in San Ramon, California, which the Company occupies under a
lease agreement expiring December 31, 2006.

The 30,000 square foot facility in Pleasant Hill, California, which formerly
housed all of the signal generator operations, was vacated at the end of April,
1994. The Pleasant Hill lease agreement expired April 30, 1994. The 40,000
square foot facility in Sunnyvale, California, which formerly housed all of the
power measurement instrument operations, was vacated in July, 1994. The
Sunnyvale lease agreement expired July 31, 1994.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of March 30, 1996, the Company has no pending legal proceedings,
other than routine litigation incidental to the Company's business, to which the
Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 30, 1996. Executive Officers of
Giga-tronics are listed on page 14 of this Form 10-K.
