                               ALLEN TELECOM INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.       GENERAL:

         In the opinion of the management of Allen Telecom Inc. (the "Company"),
         the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial
         statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
         financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2000 and the
         consolidated results of its operations, cash flows and changes in
         stockholders' equity for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The
         results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of the results for the full year. The year-end 1999
         consolidated condensed balance sheet was derived from audited financial
         statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1999.

2.       SPECIAL CHARGES:

         In the fourth quarter 1999, the Company announced the restructuring of
         certain operations including the discontinuance of certain product
         lines, the closing of a manufacturing facility and other items. As
         previously indicated in the financial statements for the year ending
         December 31, 1999, in the first quarter 2000, the Company incurred
         pretax charges of $1,678,000, or $.04 per basic and diluted share after
         related income tax effect, incremental to the fourth quarter 1999
         restructuring charge. These first quarter 2000 charges, which were not
         accruable at December 31, 1999, include termination costs of employees
         notified subsequent to December 31, 1999, relocation costs, asset
         write-offs, and other termination related benefits. Of this pretax
         charge $960,000 was recorded in cost of sales and $718,000 in selling,
         general and administrative expenses. Of the charge, $393,000 relates to
         a non-cash write-off of capital assets and $1,285,000 are cash related
         charges.

         The following is a summary of the activity for exit costs incurred
         (amounts in thousands, except for employee data).

         The term of severance is based on years of service or determined by
         contractual obligation, and is payable over a period of time. Severance
         will be paid out in its entirety by October 31, 2001.

3.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

         The gain on sale from discontinued operations in the first quarter of
         2000 represents income from previously contingent purchase price
         consideration (in the form of a 12% interest bearing installment note)
         earned on the sale of the Company's former automotive emissions testing
         business sold in the first quarter of 1999. The gains in the first
         quarters of 2000 and 1999 are net of related income taxes in the amount
         of $700,000 and $1,403,000, respectively.

4.       SEGMENT DISCLOSURES:

5.       IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and Hedging Activities," in June 1998 which will now be effective for
         financial statements for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
         after June 15, 2000. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the provisions
         of the standard on January 1, 2001. The Company utilizes hedging
         activities primarily in its foreign subsidiaries to limit foreign
         currency exchange rate risk on receivables. The Company has not yet
         determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this Statement on
         results of operations and financial position.

         In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
         Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving
         Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25". This
         interpretation clarifies the application of APB Opinion 25, under which
         the Company accounts for stock based compensation awards, for certain

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               ALLEN TELECOM INC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY:

Allen Telecom Inc. reported net income from continuing operations of $.6 million
($.02 per common share) for the first quarter 2000, as compared with a loss of
$1.4 million ($.05 loss per common share) for the first quarter 1999. Total
sales for the Company increased 16% from $75.9 million in the first quarter 1999
to $88.0 million in the first quarter 2000.

Included in the results of operations for the first quarter 2000, are
incremental pretax restructuring charges of approximately $1.7 million, or $.04
per basic and diluted share after related income tax effect. The Company has
estimated cost savings resulting from restructuring actions taken in the fourth
quarter 1999 and first quarter 2000 to be in the pretax range of $6.0 to $8.0
million on an annual basis. These savings are expected to be realized beginning
in the second quarter 2000, coincident with the final closedown of its domestic
manufacturing facility. Of the projected cost savings, approximately $4.4
million relate to cost of sales, $1.9 million to selling, general and
administrative costs, and $.7 million to R&D costs. See Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information
concerning such special items.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING:

Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing sales were up 17%, from $70.0 million
in first quarter 1999 to $82.0 million in the first quarter 2000. This sales
increase was due primarily to increased demand for Site Management and Antenna
products. Sales of Systems products were down 15% from first quarter 1999 due
primarily to order weakness in the test and measurement business and a seasonal
slowdown of project revenue in Europe where weather is a factor. Geographically,
sales were up primarily in Europe with a 35% increase over the same period last
year, with smaller increases in North America, where sales were up 13% over the
same period last year. First quarter sales are slightly lower than fourth
quarter 1999 (down 4%); however, the first quarter is traditionally the lowest
quarter for sales during the year due to winter impacting the deployment of new
cell sites and antenna installations.

The strong U.S. dollar relative to the Euro negatively impacted reported sales
and pretax income of European operations in the first quarter of 2000 as
compared to the first quarter of 1999. As a result of exchange differences,
reported sales and pretax income in the three months ended March 31, 2000 were
$6.3 million and $1.1 million lower, respectively, as compared with the
corresponding prior year period, assuming the exchange rates stayed the same.

Backlog for this Segment increased 18% from $83.6 million at December 31, 1999
to $98.4 million at March 31, 2000. This is the fifth consecutive increase in
quarterly backlog.

Gross profit margins were 29.3% (excluding the aforementioned incremental
restructuring costs) in the first quarter of 2000, as compared with 29.6% in the
first quarter of 1999. The lower gross profit margins in 2000 were due to
product mix, with less sales coming from the higher margin measurement products,
and due to manufacturing inefficiencies related to the closedown of the site
management products manufacturing plant in the first quarter 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.5 million, or 12.9% of
sales (excluding the aforementioned incremental restructuring costs), and $9.8
million, or 14.0% of sales, for the first quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Spending as a percentage of sales is lower due to the spreading of
fixed costs on higher sales.

WIRELESS ENGINEERING SERVICES:

Wireless Engineering Services sales were up slightly from $5.9 million in first
quarter 1999 to $6.0 million in first quarter 2000. Backlog was unchanged at
$1.4 million from year-end 1999. Gross profit margins for this segment were
37.7% in the first quarter 2000, as compared with 25.7% in the first quarter
1999. This increase is primarily attributable to higher software sales and full
deployment of engineers. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
relatively flat at 23% and 22% of sales for the first quarters of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

Research and development and product engineering costs were 7.0% and 10.1% of
sales in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decreased rate of
spending as a percentage of sales is attributable to the increase in sales in
the current quarter and the sale of the Company's former government and defense
engineering business, Signal Science, in the third quarter of 1999, which
invested heavily in research and development. The Company believes that product
development costs will increase throughout the year, principally due to
increased spending for field trials and other testing of its E-911 Geolocation
product.

                                   (Continued)

INTEREST AND FINANCING EXPENSES:

Net interest and financing costs decreased slightly to $2.0 million from $2.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
lower interest expense is due principally to lower working capital requirements
and the repayment of debt with the proceeds from the sale of discontinued
operations and investments, offset in part by higher interest rates.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

The Company's effective tax rate was 40.1% and 35.0% for the quarters ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The principal reason for the increase is
the increased income relating to the Company's foreign operations, which are
taxed at higher rates than the United States. The 2000 percentage is in line
with the Company's current expectation for the full year.

MINORITY INTERESTS:

Minority interest expense decreased from $304 thousand to $13 thousand in the
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This decrease is due to
the acquisition in late 1999 of the remaining minority interest in one of the
Company's foreign subsidiaries.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

As set forth in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
generated $12.2 million of cash from operations for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to using $2.2 million for the comparable 1999 period. The
increase in cash flow from operations is principally due to the collection of
certain trade receivables and increasing income from continuing operations. The
Company used $3.4 million in investing activities in the first quarter 2000, due
primarily to capital expenditures, as compared to generating $14.0 million in
the first quarter 1999. The higher cash flow from investing activities in 1999
related to the sale of the Company's discontinued emissions testing business and
cash collected from the sale of a common stock investment. Cash used by
financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,
1999 was $2.5 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The cash generated from
investing activities in the first quarter 1999 was used primarily to repay
long-term borrowings. At March 31, 2000, the Company had available unused
worldwide lines of credit in the amount of $84.2 million.
