GIGA-TRONICS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)	Basis of Presentation
	The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 30, 2002.
	Certain March 30, 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the September 28, 2002 presentation.
(2)	Revenue
	Revenues are recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is generally recorded when products are shipped and the risk of loss has passed. Upon shipment, the Company also provides for the estimated cost that may be incurred for product warranties. Revenue related to products shipped subject to customers’ evaluation is recognized upon final acceptance.
(3)	Inventories
	Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

	Sept. 28, 2002		March 30, 2002
Raw materials	$	5,570	$	6,157
Work-in-process		4,161		3,852

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued if dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method. In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be issued because they would be antidilutive. In addition, certain options are considered antidilutive because the options’ exercise price was above the average market price during the period. The shares used in per share computations for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 are as follows (in thousands):

Common shares assuming dilution		4,666		4,591		4,661		4,578
Number of stock options not included in the computation		587		612		587		612

	All stock options outstanding were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001 because the Company experienced a loss from continuing operations and the options are, therefore, antidilutive. The weighted average exercise price of excluded options was $3.76 and $4.00 as of September 28, 2002 and September 29, 2001, respectively.

(6)	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 142. Statement No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 141 as of July 1, 2001. The adoption of Statement No. 141 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement No. 142 effective March 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
	In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The purpose of SFAS No. 143 is to develop consistent accounting of asset retirement obligations and related costs in the financial statements and to provide more information about future cash outflows, leverage, and liquidity regarding retirement obligations and the gross investment in long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2002. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144 effective March 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
	In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management’s commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. This Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002; however, early application of the Statement is encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of Statement 146 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations, but the adoption could result in the company recognizing costs of future restructuring activities, if any, over a period of time rather than in one reporting period.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The forward-looking statements included in this report including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends” and words of similar import, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those listed in the Giga-tronics’ annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2002 Part I, under the heading “Certain Factors Which May Adversely Affect Future Operations or an Investment in Giga-tronics”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

GENERAL

Giga-tronics designs, manufactures, and markets microwave and radio frequency signal generation and power measurement instruments, switching devices, and YIG tuned oscillators. These products have broad applications in both defense electronics and wireless telecommunications. Giga-tronics also manufactures a line of inspection and handling equipment used in the production of semiconductor devices.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2002 AND SEPTEMBER 29, 2001

Total orders for the three month period were $4,536,000 and for the comparable period last year were $2,465,000, the orders for last year is net of a partial order cancellation at the Instrument division of $3,703,000. Gross new orders declined primarily due to the continuing weakness in the overall wireless market. Orders for the Instrument division were 1,885% ($2,149,000) higher in the second quarter of FY 2003 versus the prior year, which includes the partial order cancellation. Orders for ASCOR were 11% ($86,000) higher for the second quarter versus last year. Orders for Microsource were 12% ($103,000) lower than the comparable quarter last year. DYMATiX orders were 8% ($61,000) lower in the three months ended September 28, 2002 versus the same period a year ago. For the six months ended September 28, 2002, orders were $8,216,000 compared to $14,304,000 for the same period last year. Backlog at September 28, 2002 was $18,056,000 (about $7,900,000 is expected to be shipped within one year) as compared to $32,578,000 (about $13,700,000 was expected to be shipped within one year) on September 29, 2001.

Net sales for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2002 decreased 44% ($4,353,000) and 47% ($10,142,000), respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The reduction in sales was primarily due to fewer orders booked because of the general slowdown in the wireless market and stretch outs on existing orders in backlog predominately at the Instrument and Microsource divisions. Giga-tronics Instrument division sales decreased 61% ($3,257,000) for the quarter and decreased 65% ($7,864,000) for the six months ended September 28, 2002 primarily due to fewer orders booked and weak backlog as compared to the same periods a year ago. ASCOR sales during the quarter decreased 1% ($11,000) and for the six months increased 6% ($121,000) versus the respective periods of a year ago. Sales for Microsource decreased 19% ($494,000) in the quarter and decreased 11% ($542,000) for the six months ended September 28, 2002 primarily due to stretch-out of deliveries of existing backlog coupled with weak orders. Sales for DYMATiX decreased 58% ($591,000) in the quarter and declined 73% ($1,857,000) for the six months primarily due to weak orders because of the slowdown in capital equipment spending affecting the semiconductor manufacturing market.

Cost of sales decreased 42% ($2,629,000) in the quarter ended September 28, 2002 from the similar period a year ago primarily due to the 44% decline in sales offset with higher manufacturing material costs for the products shipped. For the six months ended September 28, 2002, cost of sales decreased 48% ($7,051,000) primarily attributable to 47% lower sales and the product mix.

9

Operating expenses for the three month period decreased 22% ($901,000) due to decreases of $467,000 in SG&A, $395,000 in product development costs and $39,000 in amortization expense. For the six month period, operating expenses decreased 19% ($1,589,000) due to decreases of $1,117,000 in SG&A, $392,000 in product development costs and $80,000 in amortization expense. Product development costs for the three and six month periods decreased 22% ($395,000) and 11% ($392,000), respectively, compared with the prior year primarily due to a reduction in product development costs at Microsource and the Instrument divisions due to lower personnel costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 21% ($467,000) for the three months ended September 28, 2002 compared to the prior year. The decrease is a result of lower commission expense of $152,000 on lower sales for the quarter, $228,000 less in marketing expenses and $87,000 less in administrative expenses during the quarter. For the six months ended September 28, 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 24% ($1,117,000) as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to lower commission expense of $325,000 related to lower sales levels and decreases in marketing expenses of $488,000 and lower administrative expenses of $304,000. These expense reductions were primarily personnel related. Amortization of intangibles decreased 87% ($39,000) for the three months and 89% ($80,000) for the six months as compared to the prior year. The decrease in the amortization of intangibles is a result of the goodwill being fully amortized at March 30, 2002. Interest income for the three and six month periods decreased from the prior year due to lower interest rates on cash available for investment.

The loss before income taxes for the three month and six month periods increased $863,000 and $1,619,000, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. The change was primarily due to lower revenues offset by lower operating expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Giga-tronics maintained working capital of $21,263,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 5.7 to 1.0 at September 28, 2002. Giga-tronics continues to fund all of its working capital needs from existing cash and cash provided by operations.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 28, 2002 decreased $579,000 from March 30, 2002. Cash used by operations, for the six months ended September 28, 2002, was $456,000. In addition, Giga-tronics spent $100,000 on new manufacturing and test equipment and other capital items. Giga-tronics intends to continue investing in capital items that support growth, new product development, raise productivity, and improve the quality of its products. Historically, the Company has satisfied its cash needs internally for both operating and capital expenditures, and management expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Management believes that cash and cash equivalents remain adequate to meet anticipated operating needs. It is also the Company’s intention to maintain research and development expenditures for the purpose of broadening its product base. From time to time, Giga-tronics considers a variety of acquisition opportunities to also broaden its product lines and expand its market. Such acquisition activity could also increase the Company’s operating expenses and require the additional use of capital resources.

OUTLOOK

The wireless telecommunications market continues to remain weak. All of our business segments have been impacted by the economic downturn currently affecting the test and measurement and semiconductor industries. Giga-tronics is uncertain of the duration and severity of this downturn in the markets we serve, and the ultimate impact this will have on the Company. While there are some indications of increased strength in defense, the economic downturn has impacted capital spending in many of our commercial markets and has resulted in declining new product orders. In response to the current market conditions, Giga-tronics has implemented cost reduction programs in order to reduce expenses. However, Giga-tronics remains committed to the investment in new product development in order to expand our product lines and update our existing lines with additional features. While the Microsource segment is expected to improve in the current year, its short-term growth will be less than previously anticipated as there are timing delays associated with currently booked orders.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this section of the report, including statements regarding sales under “OUTLOOK” and statements under “FINANCIAL CONDITION”, are forward-looking. While Giga-tronics believes that these statements are accurate, Giga-tronics’ business is dependent upon general economic conditions and various conditions specific to the test and measurement, wireless and semiconductor industries. Future trends and these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we have made. In particular:

Giga-tronics’ core business is test and measurement, as well as components for the wireless communications market, which continues to remain soft. The Company’s commercial product backlog has a number of risks and uncertainties such as the cancellation or deferral of orders, dispute over performance and our ability to collect amounts due. If the commercial market should decline further, then shipments in the current year could fall short of plan resulting in a decline in earnings. Also, Giga-tronics has a significant number of defense-related orders. While Giga-tronics has seen some improvement in the defense sector, it is not significant enough to offset the decline in the commercial sector. If the defense market should decline, shipments in the current year could be less than anticipated and cause a decrease in earnings.

The market for electronics equipment is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. Giga-tronics believes that its future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to develop and commercialize its existing products, develop new products and applications and in part to develop, manufacture and successfully introduce new products and product lines with improved capabilities and continue enhancing existing products. There can be no assurance that Giga-tronics will successfully complete the development of current or future products or that such products will achieve market acceptance. Giga-tronics may also experience difficulty obtaining critical parts or components required in the manufacturing of our products, resulting in our inability to fulfill orders in a timely manner, which may have a negative impact on our earnings. Also, the Company may not timely ramp manufacturing capacity to meet order demand and quickly adapt cost structures to changing market conditions.

As part of our business strategy, Giga-tronics intends to broaden its product lines and expand its markets, in part through the acquisition of other business entities. The Company acquired Microsource, Inc. in fiscal 1999 in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The Company is subject to various risks in connection with past and any future acquisitions. Such risks include, among other things, the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of the Company’s business, the inability of the Company’s management to maximize the financial and strategic position of the Company by the successful incorporation of acquired technology and rights into the Company’s product offerings, the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. No assurance can be given that any acquisition by Giga-tronics will or will not occur, that if an acquisition does occur, that it will not materially and adversely affect the Company or that any such acquisition will be successful in enhancing the Company’s business. Giga-tronics currently contemplates that future acquisitions may involve the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Any such issuance may result in dilution to all shareholders of the Company, and sales of such shares in significant volume by the shareholders of acquired companies may depress the price of the Company’s common stock.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Financial instruments that expose the company to market risk are cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in recognized financial institutions and have limited market risk due to the short-term maturities of the instruments.
