PART I

The forward-looking statements included in this report, which reflect
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
the forward-looking statements included herein as a result of a number of
factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,"
incorporated by reference to pages 17 through 18 of the Company's 1997 Annual
Report to Stockholders.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General and Business

The Company 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 commercial
telecommunications, radar, and electronic warfare.

In July 1996, Giga-tronics acquired ASCOR, Inc. in a transaction accounted
for by the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. ASCOR, located in Fremont,
California, 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 offers a family of switching
and interface test adapters as standard VXI configured products, as well as
complete system integration services to the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)
market.

The Company intends to broaden its product lines and expand its market,
both by internal development of new products and through the acquisition of
other business entities. From time to time, the Company considers a variety of
acquisition opportunities.

Recent Developments

The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated
as of June 6, 1997 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), by and among the Company,
GTV Acquisition Corp., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Giga-tronics ("Acquisition Corp.") and Viking Semiconductor Equipment, Inc., a
California corporation ("Viking") which provides for the acquisition by the
Company of Viking through the merger (the "Merger") of Viking and Acquisition
Corp. The Merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and
accordingly, the historical accounts of Viking will be combined with those of
the Company as if they had always been merged. Viking is a privately-held
company in Fremont, California that designs, manufactures and markets optical
inspection equipment used to manufacture and test semiconductor devices.
Viking's products include die attachments, automatic die sorters, tape and reel
and wafer inspection equipment.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (i) Acquisition Corp. will be
merged with and into Viking and Viking will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Giga-tronics; (ii) each share of Viking no par value Common Stock ("Viking
Shares") outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than Viking Shares
held by shareholders who have perfected and not withdrawn their right to seek

3
4

appraisal of their shares under applicable California law) will be converted
into the right to receive a pro rata portion of an aggregate of 420,000 Shares
of Giga-tronics Common Stock to be issued in the Merger (the "Merger
Consideration"). The shares of Giga-tronics Common Stock to be issued in the
Merger will not be registered and thus will be generally restricted from resale
until at least the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger pursuant to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

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 Merger
will be effective in June 1997.

Industry Segments

The Company operates primarily in one industry segment: electronic test
and measurement equipment.

Products and Markets

The Company 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 for these products
can be divided into three broad segments: commercial telecommunications, radar
and electronic warfare. The Company's instruments are used in the design,
production, repair and maintenance and calibration of other manufacturers'
products, from discrete components to complex systems.

The Company also produces switch modules, and interface adapters that
operate with a bandwidth from direct current (DC) to 18 GHz. The end-user
markets for these products are primarily related to electronic warfare, though
the VXI architecture may become more accepted by the telecommunications market.

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. However, the
Company believes that its competitive position depends primarily 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.

4
5

The Company licenses certain instrument operating system software from
third parties. The Company believes, based on industry practice, that any
additional licenses necessary 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

In its early years, the Company had been a leading supplier of test
instruments to various U.S. Government defense agencies, as well as to their
prime contractors. Management anticipates sales to U.S. Government agencies will
remain significant in fiscal 1998, even though the outlook for defense-related
orders continues to be soft. Defense related agencies accounted for 37%, 42% and
36% of net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Commercial
business accounted for 63%, 58%, and 64% of net sales in fiscal 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

Backlog of Orders

On March 29, 1997, Giga-tronics had a backlog of approximately $5,007,000
compared to $8,854,000 at March 30, 1996. Orders for the Company's products
include 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 the Company and the customer and, in the case of
U.S. Government orders, for which funding has been appropriated. The Company
believes that essentially all of the year ending backlog will be shipped within
the next twelve months.

A 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.

Competition

The principal competitive factors in the marketing of microwave and RF test
instruments include product functionality, reliability and price. These products
compete mainly with Hewlett-Packard, Anritsu, Marconi and Rohde & Schwarz. The
principal competitive factors in the marketing of VXI switching interface
adapters include product modularity, density factor, quality and price. These
products compete mainly with Racal Dana, Hewlett Packard and Tektronix. The


5
6

Company's 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

Products of the type manufactured by the Company 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 $2,722,000, $2,726,000 and
$2,928,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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 San Ramon facility. The assembly and testing
of the Company's switching and connecting devices is done at its Fremont
facility.

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 29, 1997, the Company employed 167 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
satisfactory.

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 $8,237,000, $6,791,000 and $4,458,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

The Company has no foreign-based operations or material amounts 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

Although the Company has achieved more balance between its defense and
commercial businesses, defense related orders remain important to the Company.
The outlook for such orders continues to be soft. If this trend were to
continue, shipments in the current year could fall short of plan with a
concurrent decline in earnings. However, the Company believes that growth can be
realized by maintaining an effective new product development program,
aggressively pursuing new markets, and vigorously competing for defense
business. In addition, the Company intends to broaden its product lines and
expand its markets through the acquisition of other business entities.
Nevertheless, there is no assurance that increased research and development
spending and future acquisitions, if any, will lead to increased sales in the
near term.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES


As of March 29, 1997, the Company's executive, marketing, sales and
engineering offices and manufacturing facilities for its microwave and RF signal
generator and power measurement products are located in approximately 47,000
square feet in San Ramon, California, which the Company occupies under a lease

The Company's executive, marketing, sales and engineering offices and
manufacturing facilities for its switching and connecting devices are located in
approximately 12,160 square feet in Fremont, California, under a lease expiring
on January 31, 1998.
