Lancaster,  PA - March 6, 2007  Herley  Industries,  Inc.  (Nasdaq:  HRLY) today
reported financial results for the second quarter ended January 28, 2007.

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended January 28, 2007 were approximately $38.0
million. Net income for the period was approximately $1.7 million.

John M. Kelley, Herley President, commented, "Herley is regaining pre-suspension
momentum  and sales  levels.  Our  book-to-bill  for the  quarter was 1.14 to 1.
Backlog at the end of the second quarter was $136 million.  Additionally, we are
pleased that the scope of the U. S. defense  budget  includes areas where Herley
has experience,  technical expertise,  and proven products and capabilities.  We
look forward to these  opportunities to provide microwave hardware and solutions
to the U. S. Government and its prime military contractors."

Myron Levy,  Chairman and CEO, said,  "Herley took a "standing eight count" with
the  suspension.  With a cleared  head,  we are now moving  forward,  and expect
increasing revenues and profitability. We are pleased with these initial results
in Q2, and we anticipate continued  improvement in Q3 and Q4. As we progress, we
will hold more  frequent  communications  to share what we believe  will be good
news with our friends, customers, and shareholders."
