                                     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perfected and not withdrawn  their right to seek appraisal of their shares under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
