                                 ---------------


     Our Annual Meeting of  Stockholders  will be held on Tuesday,  February 26,
2008,  at Eden  Resort  Inn & Suites,  222 Eden  Road,  Lancaster,  Pennsylvania
17601-4216  at 9:00 a.m. This proxy  statement  contains  information  about the
matters to be considered at the meeting or any  adjournments or postponements of
the meeting.

                                ABOUT THE MEETING

What is being considered at the meeting?

     You will be voting on the following:

     o    election of two Class II directors;
     o    by-law  amendment to provide for  resignation of director  nominee who
          receives  more  "withheld"  votes  than  "for"  votes  in  uncontested
          director elections;
     o    ratification of the appointment of our independent  registered  public
          accountants.


Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

     You may vote if you owned  stock as of the close of  business on January 7,
2008. Each share of stock is entitled to one vote.

How do I vote?

     You can vote in two ways:

     o    by attending the meeting in person; or
     o    by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card.

Can I change my mind after I vote?

     Yes,  you may change  your mind at any time before the vote is taken at the
meeting.  You can do this by (1)  signing  another  proxy  with a later date and
returning it to us prior to the meeting or filing with our corporate secretary a
written notice revoking your proxy, or (2) voting again at the meeting.

                                       3

What if I return my proxy card but do not include voting instructions?

     Proxies that are signed and returned but do not include voting instructions
will be  voted  FOR the  election  of the  nominee  directors,  FOR the  by-laws
amendment  and  FOR  the  appointment  of  our  independent   registered  public
accountants.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

     It means that you have multiple  accounts with brokers  and/or our transfer
agent.  Please vote all of these  shares.  We  recommend  that you contact  your
broker  and/or our transfer  agent to  consolidate  as many accounts as possible
under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, (718) 921-8200.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

     If you hold your shares  directly in your own name,  they will not be voted
if  you do not  provide  a  proxy.  Your  shares  may  be  voted  under  certain
circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm.  Brokerage firms
generally  have the  authority  to vote  customers'  unvoted  shares on  certain
"routine"  matters,  including the election of directors.  When a brokerage firm
votes its customer's  unvoted  shares,  these shares are counted for purposes of
establishing a quorum. At our meeting,  these shares will be counted as voted by
the  brokerage  firm  in  the  election  of  directors  and  appointment  of our
independent registered public accountants, but will not be counted for all other
matters to be voted on because these other matters are not considered  "routine"
under the applicable rules.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?

     Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the meeting
and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by mail. In order for us to
conduct our meeting,  a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of
January 7, 2008 must be present at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum.
On January 7, 2008,  there were  ____________  shares issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote.

What vote is required to approve each item?

     Directors  are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.  Abstentions  will
have no effect on the voting  outcome with respect to the election of directors.
The  affirmative  vote of a majority  of the issued  and  outstanding  shares of
common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the amendment
to our by-laws and appointment of our independent  registered  public accounting
firm will be required  for  approval.  An  abstention  will be counted as a vote
against these proposals and broker non-votes will have no effect on the votes.

         SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

     The following table presents certain  information  regarding the beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of  September  28, 2007 by (a) each  beneficial
owner of 5% or more of our  outstanding  stock  known  to us,  based  solely  on
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,  (b) each of our directors,
(c)  each of our  Named  Executive  Officers  and (d) all of our  directors  and
executive officers as a group.

     The percentage of beneficial ownership for the table is based on 13,977,115
shares  of our  common  stock  outstanding  as of  September  28,  2007.  To our
knowledge,  except under  community  property  laws or as otherwise  noted,  the
persons and  entities  named in the table have sole  voting and sole  investment

                                       5

power over their shares of our common stock.  Unless otherwise  indicated,  each
beneficial  owner  listed  below  maintains  a  mailing  address  of c/o  Herley
Industries, Inc., 101 North Pointe Boulevard, Lancaster, PA 17601.

     The number of shares  beneficially  owned by each stockholder is determined
under SEC rules and is not  necessarily  indicative of beneficial  ownership for
any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares
of  common  stock  over  which  the  stockholder  has sole or  shared  voting or
investment  power and those shares of common stock that the  stockholder has the
right to acquire within 60 days after September 28, 2007 through the exercise of
any stock  option.  The  "Percentage  of  Outstanding  Shares"  column treats as
outstanding all shares underlying such options held by the stockholder,  but not
shares underlying options held by other stockholders.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     Our  certificate  of  incorporation  and  by-laws  provide  for a Board  of
Directors consisting of not less than three nor more than twelve directors.  Our
Board of Directors  now  consists of six  directors.  At each annual  meeting of
stockholders,  directors  constituting  a class are elected for staggered  three
year terms.

     The board has nominated Myron Levy and Dr. Edward A. Bogucz for election as
Class II directors  to serve until the 2010 annual  meeting of  stockholders  or
until his  successor  is duly  elected  and  qualified.  Shares  represented  by
executed proxies in the form enclosed will be voted, unless otherwise indicated,
for the election as directors of the nominees  named in Class II unless any such
nominee  shall be  unavailable,  in which  event such shares will be voted for a
substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors
has no reason to believe that either of the nominees will be unavailable  or, if
elected, will decline to serve.

     The following  table sets forth our directors and the classes in which they
will be presently serving.


         Class I                                Class II                         Class III

                              DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

     We have adopted the NASDAQ Stock  Market's  standards for  determining  the
independence of directors.  Under these standards, an independent director means
a person  other than an executive  officer or one of our  employees or any other
individual  having  a  relationship  which,  in  the  opinion  of the  Board  of
Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, the following persons shall
not be considered independent:

     o    a director  who is, or at any time  during  the past three  years was,
          employed by us;
     o    a director  who  accepted or who has a family  member who accepted any
          compensation from us in excess of $100,000 during any period of twelve
          consecutive  months within the three years preceding the determination
          of independence, other than the following:
          o    compensation  for  service  on  the  Board  of  Directors  or any
               committee thereof;

                                       8

          o    compensation  paid to a family member who is one of our employees
               (other than an executive officer); or
          o    under  a  tax-qualified  retirement  plan,  or  non-discretionary
               compensation;
     o    a director who is a family member of an  individual  who is, or at any
          time during the past three years was,  employed by us as an  executive
          officer;
     o    a director  who is, or has a family  member who is, a partner in, or a
          controlling  shareholder or an executive  officer of, any organization
          to which we made, or from which we received,  payments for property or
          services  in the  current or any of the past three  fiscal  years that
          exceed 5% of the  recipient's  consolidated  gross  revenues  for that
          year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:
          o    payments arising solely from investments in our securities; or
          o    payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching
               programs;
     o    a  director  who is, or has a family  member  who is,  employed  as an
          executive  officer of another entity where at any time during the past
          three years any of our executive  officers served on the  compensation
          committee of such other entity; or
     o    a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of
          our  outside  auditor,  or was a partner or  employee  of our  outside
          auditor  who  worked on our audit at any time  during  any of the past
          three years.

     For purposes of the NASDAQ independence standards, the term "family member"
means a person's  spouse,  parents,  children  and  siblings,  whether by blood,
marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person's home.

     The Board of Directors has assessed the  independence of each  non-employee
director under the  independence  standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market set forth
above, and has affirmatively  determined that four of our non-employee directors
(Mr. Campbell, Admirals Walker and Moore and Dr. Bogucz) are independent.

                MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     During the fiscal year ended July 29, 2007 there were:

          o    thirteen meetings of the Board of Directors
          o    five meetings of the Audit Committee
          o    three meetings of the Compensation Committee
          o    five meetings of the Governance and Ethics Committee
          o    one meeting of the Nominating Committee

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

     The Board  has a  standing  Audit  Committee.  The Board has  affirmatively
determined  that each director who serves on the Audit Committee is independent,
as the  term is  defined  by  applicable  Nasdaq  and  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("SEC") rules.  During fiscal 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company consisted of Edward K. Walker (Chairman),  Robert M.
Moore, and Edward A. Bogucz. The members of the audit committee have substantial
experience in assessing the  performance of companies,  gained as members of the
Company's  board of  directors  and audit  committee,  as well as by  serving in
various  capacities in other  companies or governmental  agencies.  As a result,
they each have an understanding of financial  statements.  However, none of them
keep  current  on all  aspects  of  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

                                       9

Accordingly,  the  board  of  directors  does not  consider  any of them to be a
financial   expert  as  that  term  is   defined  in   applicable   regulations.
Nevertheless,  the board of directors believes that they competently perform the
functions  required of them as members of the audit  committee  and, given their
backgrounds,  it would not be in the best interest of the Company to replace any
of them with  another  person to  qualify a member of the audit  committee  as a
financial expert.

     The Audit Committee regularly meets with our independent  registered public
accounting firm outside the presence of management.

     The Audit Committee  operates under a written charter which is set forth as
Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee

     Our Compensation Committee annually establishes, subject to the approval of
the Board of Directors and any applicable  employment  agreements,  the salaries
which  will be paid to our  executive  officers  during  the  coming  year,  and
administers our stock-based benefit plans. The Compensation  Committee currently
consists of Edward A.  Bogucz,  Chairman,  Edward K. Walker and Robert M. Moore.
Each member of the  Compensation  Committee is a director who is not employed by
us or any of our affiliates,  and are independent directors under NASDAQ listing
standards.

Nominating Committee

     Our  Nominating  Committee  currently  consisting  of Carlos  C.  Campbell,
Chairman, Edward K. Walker, and Edward A. Bogucz, each of whom is an independent
director,  identifies individuals qualified to become Board members,  recommends
to the Board nominees to fill vacancies in membership of the Board as they occur
and,  prior  to each  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders,  recommends  a slate of
nominees for election as Directors at such meeting.

Governance and Ethics Committee

     Our  Governance  and Ethics  Committee,  currently  consisting of Robert M.
Moore,  Chairman,  Edward K. Walker and Carlos C.  Campbell,  each of whom is an
independent  director,  monitors developments in corporate governance principles
and other corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board of
Directors regarding the adoption of additional corporate governance principles.

Stockholder Recommendations for Board Nominees

     The  Governance  and   Nominating   Committee  will  consider   stockholder
recommendations  for  candidates  for the  Board.  The  name of any  recommended
candidate for director,  together with a brief  biographical  sketch, a document
indicating the candidate's willingness to serve, if elected, and evidence of the
nominating  stockholder's  ownership  of  Company  stock,  should be sent to the
attention of the Secretary of the Company.

                                       10

Stockholder Communications with the Board

     We have not developed to date a formal  process by which  stockholders  may
communicate  directly  with  directors.  However,  in recent  years an  informal
process has developed in which  communications sent to the Board of Directors or
in care of an  officer or our other  representative  is  forwarded  to the Chief
Executive  Officer,  who  is  also a  director.  We  believe  this  process  has
adequately served the needs of the Board of Directors and our  stockholders.  In
light of SEC  disclosure  rules on this  matter,  the  Board  of  Directors  may
consider  the  development  and adoption of more formal  procedures.  Until such
procedures  are adopted and  disclosed  to our  stockholders,  stockholders  may
direct  communications  intended for the Board of Directors to the  Secretary of
the Company, at 101 North Pointe Boulevard,  Lancaster,  Pennsylvania 17601. The
envelope  containing such communication must contain a clear notation indicating
that  the   enclosed   letter   is  a   "Stockholder-Board   Communication"   or
"Stockholder-Director  Communication"  or similar  statement  that  clearly  and
unmistakably indicates the communication is intended for the Board of Directors.
All such  communications  must clearly  indicate the author as a stockholder and
state whether the intended  recipients are all members of the Board of Directors
or just certain specified directors.  The Secretary will make copies of all such
communications and circulate them to the appropriate director or directors.

                              DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Directors  who  are  also  employees  of the  Company  are  not  separately
compensated for their services as directors.

Cash Compensation to Board Members

     Directors who are not our employees  receive an annual fee of $15,000 and a
fee of  $1,500  for  each  interim  board of  directors  meeting  attended.  The
Corporate  Governance  Committee Chairman receives an annual fee of $15,000, and
other members of the Corporate Governance Committee receive $5,000 annually. The
Audit Committee Chairman receives an annual fee of $25,000, and other members of
the  Audit  Committee  receive  $10,000  annually.  The  Compensation  Committee
Chairman receives an annual fee of $7,500, and other members of the Compensation
Committee receive $5,000 annually. The Nominating Committee Chairman receives an
annual fee of $7,500,  and other  members of the  Nominating  Committee  receive
$5,000 annually.

Equity Compensation to Board Members

     The Company grants options to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock
to its outside  directors on a periodic  basis.  During fiscal 2007, the Company
granted  options to purchase  60,000 shares of common stock at a price of $17.82
per share to its outside directors as follows:

         Rear Admiral Edward K. Walker, Jr. (Ret.)            15,000
         Dr. Edward A. Bogucz                                 12,500
         Rear Admiral Robert M. Moore (Ret.)                  12,500
         John A. Thonet                                       10,000
         Carlos C. Campbell                                   10,000

These shares fully vested on the grant date.

                                       11

Other

     Board members are reimbursed for reasonable  expenses in attending meetings
of the Board of Directors  and for expenses  incurred in  connection  with their
complying  with our  corporate  governance  policies.  The Company also provides
directors' and officers'  liability  insurance and indemnity  agreements for our
directors. No other compensation is provided to our directors.

     The following table provides  information  with respect to all compensation
awarded to,  earned by or paid to each  person who served as a director  (except

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     In fiscal 2007,  our  Compensation  Committee  consisted  of Dr.  Edward A.
Bogucz,  and Messrs.  Edward K. Walker,  Jr., and Robert M. Moore. None of these
persons  were  our  officers  or  employees  during  fiscal  2007  nor  had  any

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     Effective  October  12,  2006  and as a  condition  to  entering  into  the
Administrative  Agreement  with the  Department of the Navy (see Note A.1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2007 Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A  Amendment  No. 1), the Company  entered into an agreement
(the  "Agreement")  with Lee N.  Blatt to  terminate  the  Employment  Agreement
between the  Company and him dated as of July 29, 2002 and  modified on December
9, 2003.  Under the terms of the Agreement he will receive a lump sum payment of
$9,461,528  payable  $3,000,000  upon the  effective  date of the  Agreement and
sixty-four (64) consecutive  monthly payments of $100,000  commencing on January
1,  2007  and a final  payment  of  $61,528  on May 1,  2012 as  evidenced  by a
Promissory  Note dated  effective  October 12, 2006. In addition he received his
bonus of $636,503 for fiscal year 2006, and shall be entitled to receive medical
care reimbursement and insurance,  including life insurance,  in accordance with
the original terms of his Employment Agreement. The Agreement also provides that
all outstanding stock options  previously issued to him which are all vested and
fully  exercisable  shall continue to be  exercisable  by him or,  following his
death, by his designated beneficiaries,  on or before the expiration date of the
specific option. In the event of a "change of control" of the Company as defined
in the Employment Agreement all remaining payments due under the Promissory Note
become immediately due and payable.

     Prior to the acquisition of MSI, MSI had leased one of its two buildings in
Fort Walton Beach, Florida from MSI Investments,  a Florida General Partnership.
MSI  Investments  is  owned  by  four  individuals,  two of whom  are  currently
employees of MSI and one who serves as a consultant.

     In connection  with the move of the Amityville  facilities of GMC in fiscal
1999,  the Company  entered into a 10 year lease  agreement  with a  partnership
partially owned by the children of an officer of the Company. The lease provides
for  initial   minimum  annual  rent  of  $312,000   subject  to  escalation  of
approximately 4% annually  throughout the 10 year term.  Additionally,  in March
2000, the Company  entered into another 10 year lease with the same  partnership
for additional  space.  The initial minimum annual rent of $92,000 is subject to
escalation of approximately 4% annually. On August 24, 2005, the Company amended
the agreement to incorporate  the two individual  leases into a single lease and
extended the term of the lease to August 31, 2010.

Indemnification Agreements

     We have entered into separate indemnification  agreements with our officers
and directors.  We have agreed to provide indemnification with regard to certain
legal  proceedings so long as the  indemnified  officer or director has acted in
good  faith  and in a manner  he or she  reasonably  believed  to be in,  or not
opposed to, our best interests and with respect to any criminal proceeding,  had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  We only provide
indemnification  for expenses,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually incurred by the relevant officer or director,  or on his or her behalf,
arising out of proceedings brought against such officer or director by reason of
his or her corporate status.

                      COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     This section discusses the principles underlying our executive compensation
policies and decisions and the most important factors relevant to an analysis of
these policies and decisions.  It provides qualitative information regarding the
manner and context in which  compensation  is awarded to and earned by our Named
Executive Officers ("NEOs") (as defined in the Summary Compensation Table below)
and places in  perspective  the data  presented in the tables and narrative that
follow.

Compensation Philosophy and Overview

     We  believe  that the most  effective  compensation  program is one that is
designed to reward the  achievement  of our financial and strategic  goals,  and
which aligns executives' interests with those of our stockholders.

     The  compensation  plans for our executive  officers  have three  principal
elements:  a  base  salary,  discretionary  cash  incentive  bonuses  linked  to
achievement  of  financial  and  strategic  goals  and  equity-based   incentive
compensation.  In  addition,  we  provide  our  executive  officers a variety of
benefits  that in most  cases are  available  generally  to all of our  salaried
employees.  We view the  components  of  compensation  as related but  distinct.
Although the Compensation  Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Committee")
reviews the total compensation of our executive officers, we do not believe that
significant  compensation  derived  from one  component of  compensation  should
necessarily negate or reduce  compensation from other components.  We do believe
that the executive compensation package should be fair and reasonable when taken
as a whole.

     We have not  adopted  any formal  policies  or  guidelines  for  allocating
compensation  between  long-term and currently paid out  compensation or between
cash  and  non-cash  compensation.  However,  our  philosophy  is to  keep  cash
compensation  at a  competitive  level while  providing  the  opportunity  to be
significantly rewarded through equity if our company and our stock price perform
well over time.

     We also believe that executive officers should have a greater percentage of
their equity  compensation  in the form of stock options rather than  restricted
stock or  restricted  stock unit  awards,  as stock  options  have  greater risk
associated  with them than  these  other  equity  grants.  We  believe  that our
executive officers should have a larger portion of their equity incentive awards
at risk as compared with our other employees.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

     Mr.  Myron  Levy,  our  Chief  Executive  Officer,   annually  reviews  the
performance of each of our other executive officers.  The conclusions reached by
Mr. Levy and his recommendations based on these reviews,  including with respect
to salary adjustments,  incentive awards and equity award amounts, are presented
by Mr. Levy to the  Committee.  The  Committee  can exercise its  discretion  in
modifying any  recommended  adjustments or awards to  executives.  The Committee
makes all final compensation decisions for each of our executive officers.

     Committee  meetings  typically have included,  for all or a portion of each
meeting, not only the Committee members but also our Chief Executive Officer.

                                       14

Role of the Compensation Committee

     The  Compensation   Committee  currently  consists  of  Edward  A.  Bogucz,
Chairman,  Edward K. Walker and Robert M. Moore. Each member of the Compensation
Committee is a director who is not employed by us or any of our affiliates,  and
are independent directors under NASDAQ listing standards.

     The Committee ensures that our executive  compensation and benefits program
is consistent  with our  compensation  philosophy  and our corporate  governance
guidelines and is empowered to make decisions regarding executive officers total
compensation,  and  subject to the  approval of the Board,  our Chief  Executive
Officer's total compensation.

     The Committee reviews our overall  compensation  strategy at least annually
to ensure that it promotes  stockholder  interests,  supports our  strategic and
tactical  objectives and provides for appropriate rewards and incentives for our
executive  officers.  The Committee's  most recent overall  compensation  review
occurred in October 2007.

Accounting and Tax Implications of Our Compensation Policies

     In  designing  our  compensation  programs,  the  Committee  considers  the
financial  accounting  and tax  consequences  to the  Company as well as the tax
consequences to our employees.  We account for equity  compensation  paid to our
employees under SFAS 123(R), which requires us to estimate and record an expense
over the service period of the award.  The SFAS 123(R) cost of our equity awards
is considered by management as part of our equity grant  recommendations  to the
Committee.  Our equity grant practices have been impacted by SFAS 123(R),  which
we adopted in the first quarter of our 2006 fiscal year.

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1 million on
the amount of compensation that we may deduct for income tax purposes in any one
year with respect to our five most highly compensated executive officers. The $1
million limit does not apply to  compensation  that is  considered  "performance
based" under  applicable tax rules.  Our executive stock options are intended to
qualify  as  "performance-based,"  so that  compensation  attributable  to those
options is fully tax deductible.

     We also consider the tax impact to employees in designing our  compensation
programs,  particularly our equity compensation programs. For example, employees
generally  control the timing of taxation  with respect to the exercise of stock
options.

Components of our Executive Compensation Program

         Base Salary

     We  establish  base  salaries  that  are  sufficient,  in  the  Committee's
judgment,  to retain and  motivate our NEOs while taking into account the unique
circumstances of our Company. In determining appropriate salaries, the Committee
considers  each NEO's  scope of  responsibility  and  accountability  within our
Company and reviews the NEO's  compensation,  individually and relative to other
officers,  as  well as  similarly  situated  companies.  We  have  entered  into
employment  agreements  with our NEOs which provide for adjustments as set forth
more fully below in the section titled "Employment  Agreements." In fiscal 2007,
there were no  increases  in any NEO's  salary  beyond what is called for in the
individual employment agreements, such as cost-of-living increases.

                                       15

Discretionary Cash Incentive Bonuses

     The Committee  believes that discretionary cash bonus compensation for NEOs
should  be  directly  linked to our  overall  corporate  financial  performance,
individual  performance  and our success in achieving  both our  short-term  and
long-term  strategic  goals. In assessing the performance of our Company and our
NEOs during  fiscal  2007,  the  Committee  considered  our  performance  in the
following areas:

     o    Increase levels of component integration and value added content;
     o    Enhancement of our manufacturing capabilities;
     o    Pursuit of selective commercial opportunities;
     o    Maintaining leadership in microwave technology;
     o    Strengthening and expanding customer relationships; and
     o    Maintaining our reputation for integrity.

     In fiscal 2007,  the Committee  awarded Mr. Levy an incentive cash bonus of
$369,000 based on his employment agreement and on a number of factors, including
his strong  performance  as Chairman  of the Board and CEO,  his  assumption  of
responsibilities  of our former Chairman and the comparison of his salary to our
other NEOs, as well as our peer group. Mr. Kelley received a discretionary  cash
bonus of $50,000 and Mr. Purcell received $10,000.  Mr. Markel did not receive a
discretionary bonus in fiscal 2007 as his employment with us did not begin until
June 2007. The bonuses  awarded by the Committee for fiscal 2007 are detailed in
the Summary Compensation Table on page 18.

     Our bonuses are  structured  to be deductible  under Section  162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code which denies  publicly-held  corporations a federal income
tax deduction for  compensation  in excess of $1 million paid to the CEO and the
four other most  highly  compensated  officers  during a fiscal  year unless the
compensation  is  "performance-based."  We believe  that our process of awarding
cash bonuses satisfies this requirement; however, there can be no assurance that
any amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses will be deductible.

     In view of the scope of the employment agreements we have with our NEOs, we
do not expect  changes in the manner in which  discretionary  cash  bonuses  are
awarded to our NEOs.

Equity-Based Long Term Incentive Compensation

     We  believe  that our equity  incentive  compensation  arrangements  are an
important  factor  in  developing  an  overall   compensation  program  that  is
competitive  with our peer group of companies  and that aligns the  interests of
our NEOs with those of our stockholders.

     We believe that stock options  effectively align the long-term interests of
management with our stockholders. Additionally, we believe that our NEO's should
have a greater  percentage  of their equity  awards at risk as compared with our
other  employees.  Since NEOs do not benefit from stock options unless the price
of our stock  increases  after the grant date as compared  with the grant price,
they clearly provide NEOs with an added incentive to build shareholder value. We
have not in the past,  repriced the exercise  price for stock  options that have
been granted when the future stock price has decreased  below the exercise price
of such stock options. The date of our awards of stock options is established by
the  Committee  at a meeting held  approximately  four to six weeks prior to the
date of grant. Stock options granted in fiscal 2007 to our NEOs are set forth in

                                       16

the  table on page 18.  Grants of stock  options  vest over a period of years in
order to serve as an  inducement  for the NEOs to  remain  in the  employ of our
Company.  It is contemplated that we will continue to offer stock options as the
principal component of our equity compensation arrangement for our NEOs.

     The number of shares of stock options awarded to our NEOs is established by
the  Committee  in  consultation  with our CEO,  taking into account a number of
factors,  including the position,  job performance and overall responsibility of
each NEO. Since the value of the stock options granted to our NEOs is based upon
the price of our  shares,  the  Committee  believes  that the  granting of stock
options is a significant  incentive to our NEOs to continue to build shareholder
value.  The Committee also believes that the multi-year  vesting periods for the
stock  options  will be helpful  in linking  equity  compensation  to  long-term
performance.

Executive Benefits and Perquisites

     All of our executives  are eligible to participate in our employee  benefit
plans,  including medical,  dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans. These plans
are  available to all salaried  employees  and do not  discriminate  in favor of
executive  officers.  It is  generally  our  policy  not to  extend  significant
perquisites to our executives that are not available to our employees generally.
We have no current  plans to make changes to levels of benefits and  perquisites
provided to executives.

Employment Agreements

     Myron Levy entered into an employment  agreement  with us, dated as of July
29, 2002 which expires  December 31, 2012,  subject to extension for  additional
one-year  periods  annually  each  January  1 with a  final  expiration  date of
December 31, 2015 (as amended December 9, 2003).  The agreement  provides for an
annual  salary as of July 29, 2007 at the rate of $707,319  and  provides  for a
semi-annual  cost of living  adjustment  based on the consumer price index.  The
agreement also provides for incentive compensation at 3% in the aggregate of our
pretax income. Incentive compensation earned for fiscal year ended July 29, 2007
was $369,000.  At the end of the employment period, the agreement provides for a
ten-year consulting period at an annual compensation rate equivalent to one-half
of Mr.  Levy's  annual  salary in effect  at the end of the  employment  period,
subject to annual cost of living adjustments.

     The  employment  agreement  with Mr. Levy  provides  for  certain  payments
following  death or disability,  and also provides that, in the event there is a
change in control,  as defined, he has the option to terminate the agreement and
receive  a  lump-sum  payment  equal to the sum of the  salary  payable  for the
remainder  of the  employment  term,  plus the  annual  incentive  (based on the
average of the three highest annual  incentive  awarded during the ten preceding
years) for the remainder of the employment term. As of July 29, 2007, the amount
payable in the event of such termination would be approximately $7,709,000.

     John M. Kelley  entered into an employment  agreement  with us, dated as of
June 7, 2006 which expires June 6, 2009.  The  agreement  provides for an annual
salary as of July 29,  2007 at the rate of  $250,000,  subject  to review by the
Board of  Directors,  plus an  annual  bonus at the  discretion  of the Board of
Directors.  In addition,  Mr. Kelley has entered into a severance agreement with
us which  provides  that in the event of a change in our  control,  as  defined,
prior to September 30, 2008, he is entitled to two years' base salary.

In the event of a change in our  control,  as  defined,  the  executive  has the

lump-sum  payment equal to the sum of: (1) his salary  payable for the remainder
of the  employment  term,  (2) the annual  bonuses  (based on the average of the
annual  bonuses  awarded  during the term of the  employment  agreement) for the
remainder  of the  employment  term,  and (3) a lump  sum  payment  of  $500,000
representing full consideration under the consulting period.

Estimate of Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

     The  following  table  provides an estimate of the  potential  payments and
benefits that each of the Named Executive  Officers would be entitled to receive
upon termination of employment under various  circumstances and upon a change of
control.  In each case,  the table assumes the  executive's  termination  or the
change of control occurred on July 29, 2007. The table does not include payments
the  executive  would be  entitled  to  receive  in the  absence of one of these
specified events such as from the exercise of  previously-vested  stock options,
which amount can be calculated from the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2007
Year End table.  The table also does not include benefits that are provided on a
non-discriminatory  basis to salaried  employees  generally,  including  amounts
payable under the Company's 401(k) plan.

(1)  Change  in  control  is  defined  as such  term  is  presently  defined  in
     Regulation  240.12b-2 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934; or if any
     "person"  (as such term is used in Section  13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
     Act other than the Company or any  "person" who is a director or officer of
     the  Company,  becomes the  "beneficial  owner" (as defined in Rule 13(d)-3
     under the Exchange  Act),  directly or  indirectly,  of  securities  of the
     Company  representing  twenty-five  percent (25%),  (20% in the case of Mr.
     Levy and  50.1%  in the case of Mr.  Markel),  of the  voting  power of the
     Company's then outstanding securities; or if individuals who constitute the
     Board of Directors  cease for any reason to  constitute at least a majority
     thereof.
(2)  In the event of termination without cause or a "constructive  termination",
     Mr. Markel would be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment of approximately
     $1,950,000  representing  three times his salary and  estimated  incentive,
     plus $500,000 in settlement of his consulting agreement.
(3)  In the event of a change in control as defined in (1) above, Mr. Markel has
     the option to terminate his employment agreement at any time after July 31,
     2012 and receive a lump-sum payment of approximately $1,900,000.
(4)  A  "constructive  termination"  event is (1) a  material  reduction  of the
     annual  base and  incentive  compensation  opportunities  specified  in the
     officer's  employment agreement to which he does not consent, (2) a failure
     of  Herley's  successor  after a change of control to assume the  officer's
     employment agreement, (3) a substantial change in the officer's position or
     responsibility  or (4) the  officer's  position  relocates  to more than 35
     additional commute miles (one way).
(5)  If any  payments or benefits  received by Messrs.  Levy or Markel  would be
     subject to the  "golden  parachute"  excise tax under  Section  4999 of the
     Internal  Revenue  Code,  we would be required  to pay him such  additional
     amounts as may be necessary to place him in the same after-tax  position as
     if the payments had not been subject to the excise tax.

Employee Savings Plan

     We maintain an Employee  Savings Plan ("Plan") which  qualified as a thrift
plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code (the "Code").  Effective
August  1,  2006,  the  Plan was  amended  to allow  employees  to elect  salary
deferrals up to the maximum dollar amounts permissible under Code Section 402(g)
not to exceed the limits of Code Section 401(k),  404 and 415. For the Plan year
beginning  August 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to be considered a "Safe Harbor"
plan,  where a contribution  will be made to eligible  participants in an amount
equal to 100% of the amount of each  participant's  elective  deferral that does
not exceed 3% of compensation,  plus 50% of the amount of the elective  deferral
that  exceeds  3%  of  compensation  up  to a  maximum  contribution  of  5%  of
compensation. Under the Safe Harbor provision, all contributions are 100% vested
when made.  Additional  Company  contributions  can be made by us,  depending on
profits.  The  aggregate  benefit  payable to an employee is dependent  upon the
employee's  rate of  contribution,  the earnings of the fund,  and the length of
time such  employee  continues as a  participant.  ICI also has a "Safe  Harbor"
plan,  where a contribution  will be made to eligible  participants in an amount
equal to 100% of the amount of each  participant's  elective  deferral that does
not exceed 6% of compensation,  subject to the Code limitations discussed above.
We recognized  expenses of approximately  $1,766,000,  $1,773,000 and $1,038,000
under the plans for the fifty-two  weeks ended July 29, 2007,  July 30, 2006 and
July 31, 2005, respectively.  We also contributed to a similar plan through EWST
whereby  we match  employee  elective  contributions  up to a  maximum  of 5% of
compensation.  Expenses  recognized for 2007,  2006 and 2005 were  approximately
$75,200,  $55,900 and $60,600,  respectively.  For the year ended July 29, 2007,
$8,800 was contributed by us to this plan for each of Messrs.  Levy,  Kelley and
Purcell.  A total of $66,437 was contributed for all officers and directors as a
group.

                                  PROPOSAL TWO

        PROPOSAL TO AMEND HERLEY'S BY-LAWS TO PROVIDE FOR RESIGNATION OF
         DIRECTOR NOMINEE RECEIVING MORE "WITHHELD" THAN "FOR" VOTES IN
                              UNCONTESTED ELECTIONS

General

     The board of directors recommends that stockholders approve an amendment to
Herley's by-laws to provide that in uncontested  director elections,  a director
nominee receiving more "withheld" votes than "for" votes must immediately submit
a resignation letter to the remainder of the board of directors.  An election is
contested  if, as of the record date,  there are more nominees for election than
positions  on the board of  directors  to be filled by  election  at the  annual
meeting.

     Herley, a Delaware  corporation,  uses the plurality vote standard to elect
directors.  Delaware law provides that a company's  certificate of incorporation
or by-laws  may  specify  the number of votes  that shall be  necessary  for the
transaction of any business, including the election of directors.

     "Plurality"  voting means that the nominees receiving the largest number of
affirmative  votes  cast are  elected  directors  up to the  maximum  number  of
directors to be elected, regardless of the number of "withheld" votes or whether
affirmative votes constitute a majority of the votes cast.


                                       24

     Herley's  Nominating  Committee believes it is in the best interests of the
Company  and  its  stockholders  to  amend  our  by-laws  to  provide  that,  in
uncontested  director  elections,  a director nominee  receiving more "withheld"
votes  than "for"  votes must  immediately  submit a  resignation  letter to the
remainder of the board of directors.  The Nominating Committee will consider the
resignation  and  recommend  to the board  whether  to accept or reject  it. The
board, with the recommendation of the Nominating Committee,  then must accept or
reject the resignation  within 45 days following the  stockholders'  meeting and
must explain its decision in a publicly available SEC filing.

     If the proposed  amendment  is  approved,  Article I, Section 2 of Herley's
by-laws,  will be  amended  as set forth in  Exhibit B  attached  to this  proxy
statement.

     The by-laws amendment further provides that any proposal to amend or repeal
Article I, Section 2 of the by-laws,  which has not been previously  approved by
the  Board  of  Directors,  will  require  the  approval  of a  majority  of the
outstanding  shares of Herley common stock.  Stockholders are encouraged to read
Exhibit B in its entirety.

     If  approved,  this  amendment  will  become  effective  upon the filing of
Herley's  amended  by-laws with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  Herley will
make this filing  promptly  after  approval of the proposal at the meeting.  The
amended by-law standard would then be applicable to the election of directors at
the 2008 Annual Meeting of stockholders.

Board Position and Required Vote

The  proposal  will be adopted  only if it receives  the  affirmative  vote of a
majority of the voting  power in person or by proxy and  entitled to vote at the
Annual  Meeting on this proposal.  The Board of Directors  recommends a vote FOR
the amendment to Herley's by-laws as set forth in Exhibit B.

                                 PROPOSAL THREE

       PROPOSAL FOR APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

General

     The Board of Directors,  upon the  recommendation  of the Audit  Committee,
recommends that the  stockholders  approve the appointment of Marcum & Kliegman,
LLP as our Company's  independent  certified public accounting firm to audit our
financial statements for the fiscal year ending August 3, 2008.

Board Position and Required Vote

     The proposal will be adopted only if it receives the affirmative  vote of a
majority of the voting  power in person or by proxy and  entitled to vote at the
Annual  Meeting on this proposal.  The Board of Directors  recommends a vote FOR
the ratification of the appointment of Marcum & Kliegman, LLP as our independent
registered public accounting firm.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     The Audit  Committee  has  reviewed  and  discussed  the audited  financial
statements with our management. The Audit Committee also discussed with Marcum &
Kliegman LLP, our independent auditors,  the matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,  "Communication  with Audit Committees,"
as may be modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee has received the written
disclosures  and the letter from Marcum & Kliegman LLP required by  Independence
Standards   Board  Standard  No.  1,   "Independence   Discussions   with  Audit
Committees," as may be modified or supplemented, and has discussed with Marcum &
Kliegman LLP its independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to
above,  the  Audit  Committee  recommended  to our Board of  Directors  that the
audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the fiscal year ended July 29, 2007 for filing with the SEC.

     The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the fees paid to Marcum
& Kliegman  LLP during the last  fiscal year for audit and  non-audit  services,
which are set forth under "Audit Fees" and has considered  whether the provision
of the non-audit  services is compatible  with the firm's  independence  and has
concluded that it is.

     This Audit Committee  report shall not be deemed  incorporated by reference
in any document  previously or subsequently filed with the SEC that incorporates
by reference  all or any portion of this proxy  statement,  except to the extent
that we specifically  request that this report be  specifically  incorporated by
reference.

(1)  Audit Fees includes fees for professional  services  provided in connection
     with the audits of our  financial  statements,  the review of our quarterly
     financial statements,  Sarbanes-Oxley 404 related services,  consents,  and
     audit services  provided in connection  with other  statutory or regulatory

                                       26

     The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint,  determine  funding for,
retain  and  oversee  our  independent  auditors  and to  pre-approve  all audit
services and permissible  non-audit services.  The Audit Committee has delegated
to Adm. Walker the authority to pre-approve audit-related and non-audit services
not  prohibited  by law to be performed  by our  independent  registered  public
accounting firm and associated  fees,  provided that he reports any pre-approval
of  audit-related  or  non-audit  related  services  and fees to the full  Audit
Committee at its next regular meeting.

     Marcum & Kliegman LLP did not render any other non-audit  related  services
during fiscal years 2007 and 2006.

            SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

     Section 16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 requires  directors,
executive  officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common
stock  (collectively,  "Reporting Persons") to file initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission.  Reporting  Persons  are  required by SEC  regulations  to
furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge,
based  solely on our review of the copies of such  reports  received  or written
representations  from  certain  Reporting  Persons  that no other  reports  were
required,  we believe that during  fiscal 2007,  all  Reporting  Persons  timely
complied with all applicable filing requirements.

                      CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - CODE OF ETHICS

     We have  adopted a Corporate  Code of Business  Ethics  (the  "Code")  that
applies to all employees,  including our principal executive officer,  principal
financial officer,  and directors of the Company. The Code is broad in scope and
is intended to foster honest and ethical conduct,  including  accurate financial
reporting,  compliance with laws and the like. If any substantive amendments are
made to the Code or if there is any  grant of  waiver,  including  any  implicit
waiver,  from a provision  of the Code to our Chief  Executive  Officer or Chief
Financial Officer,  we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a
report on Form 8-K.


               FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
