Lancaster,  PA  June  9,  2005.  Herley  Industries,  Inc.  (Nasdaq:HRLY)  today
announced the results for the third quarter ended May 1, 2005.  Net revenues for
the quarter were  approximately  $41.3 million,  an increase of $11.0 million or
36.5% over the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was $3.6  million,  or $0.24 per
diluted share. This compares to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted
share for the third  quarter  last year.  Net  income for the second  quarter of
fiscal 2005 was $2.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

Operating  income for the third  quarter was $4.6 million of net sales or 11.0%,
representing an increase of 3.7% from the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Cash and cash  equivalents  at May 1,  2005  were  $20.0  million.  The  company
generated $2.9 million in cash provided from operations for the quarter.  During
the quarter, in addition to the acquisition of two companies, Herley repurchased
105,641shares of common stock.

John M. Kelley, Herley President, stated, "We made very good progress on several
fronts during the quarter including:

o The  engineering  development  projects  are in  line  with  expectations  and
approximately on schedule. Most of this business should be in a production phase
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

o Our  investment  in corporate  business  development  is  generating  tangible
financial results both domestically and internationally. Business development is
also gaining greater visibly for Herley's capabilities with customers.

o As a  result  of  Herley's  decision  to make  Micro  Systems  the  Center  of
Excellence for Command & Control, we are transitioning all new business and most
of Herley's legacy command & control business to our Ft. Walton Beach facility.



o Innovative  Concepts  continues to benefit from market  acceptance of it's IDM
Technology (R), as today's military thinking parallels ICI's product offering of
mobile,  interoperable,  tactical data  communications in hostile  environments.
Herley plans to leverage its excellent business  relationships with all branches
of  the  U.S.   military   which  should   generate  new  program  and  platform
opportunities for ICI products.

o Herley Power  Amplifiers is  completing  several  design  projects and expects
production   contracts  to  follow.   Herley  amplifiers  have  applications  in
electronic  warfare  environments  (jamming)  and  anti-IED  solutions.  We  are
pursuing  both of these  markets and we expect to increase our level of activity
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and fiscal year 2006.

Kelley continued "Herley's organic revenue growth was 6.3% for the third quarter
of fiscal  2005 and we expect  organic  growth to  continue  its  upward  trend.
Backlog increased  approximately $37 million to $131.2 million at the end of the
third quarter of fiscal 2005. Bookings for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were
$44.9  million,  reflecting  a book - to - bill of 1.1 to 1."
