PART I - ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the first six months of fiscal 1997 totaled $40.2 million compared
with sales of $46.2 million for the same period last year. Sales for the second
quarter of fiscal 1997 totaled $20.1 million, compared with $23.7 million for
the comparable period last year. New orders received for the first half of
fiscal 1997 were $35.8 million compared with $52.5 million for the same period
last year. New orders received in the second quarter totaled $20.5 million,
compared with $26.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease in
sales and orders for the quarter was due to the slower than expected receipt of
new orders for ceramic products and millimeter wave digital radio components.
Year-to-date sales and orders were impacted by the above as well as a softening
in the wireless telecommunications industry, the delayed rollout of the
Personal Communication System (PCS) and by the decision to exit certain
non-strategic activities.

Gross profit for the first half of fiscal 1997 totaled $6.6 million compared
with $15.3 million for the comparable period last year. Gross profit for the
second quarter was $2.8 million compared with $7.9 million for the same period
last year. Lower margins are the result of lower sales volumes, rising costs
due to manufacturing capacity added during fiscal 1996, reserves for excess
inventory and a loss on a filter order. The inventory write-down of $1.5
million resulted from shifts in demand away from certain ceramic products at
Trans-Tech, Inc., the Company's subsidiary. A loss on a filter order of $500
thousand occurred when a customer redesigned the end product, requiring the
Company to scrap certain finished parts and materials and to issue credits for
returned product that was no longer required by the customer. In anticipation
of the demand for wireless communication products increasing over the second
half of fiscal 1997, the Company has decided to maintain or increase its
current levels of manufacturing capacity for MMICs, discrete semiconductors and
ceramic products in its U.S. facilities. In particular, the Company is
expanding its GaAs MMIC capacity to handle four inch wafers and is in the
process of adding a third shift to the GaAs fab.

Research and development expenses increased 27% for the first six months of
fiscal 1997 to $5.0 million, or 12% of sales, as compared with $3.9 million or
9% of sales for the same period last year. For the second quarter ended
September 29, 1996 research and development increased 16% to $2.5 million, or
12% of sales as compared to $2.1 million or 9% of sales. The increase in
research and development reflects the continued investment by the Company in the
GaAs MMIC and ceramic product lines.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 13% to $9.8 million or 25% of
sales for the first half of fiscal 1997, as compared with the same period last
year of $8.7 million or 19% of sales. For the second quarter ended September
29, 1996, selling and administrative expenses increased 3% to $4.5 million, or
22% of sales, as compared to $4.3 million or 18% of sales. The year-to-date
increase in selling and administrative expenses is primarily the result of
recognizing severance costs related to various corporate executives. The
increase in selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter reflects
an increase in sales and marketing activities directed toward expanded customer
service and market penetration.

Interest expense for the first six months and quarter ended September 29,
1996 decreased $194 thousand and $102 thousand, respectively, over the
comparable periods last year. Interest income for the first six months and
quarter ended September 29,1996 increased $246 thousand and $89 thousand,
respectively, over the same periods last year. Funds received from the
secondary stock offering that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal
1996, were used to reduce debt and increase short-term investments thereby
resulting in decreased interest expense and increased interest income.

7
ALPHA INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company reversed the income tax benefit of $604 thousand recorded in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 because the Company no longer anticipates that
fiscal 1997 operations will be profitable.

For the first half of fiscal 1997, the Company reported a net loss of $8.2
million or $0.83 per share compared with a net income of $2.2 million or $0.27
per share for the comparable period last year. For the second quarter ended,
the Company reported a net loss of $4.7 million or $0.48 per share, compared
with net income of $1.1 million or $0.13 per share for the comparable period
last year.

The Company announced on November 4, 1996 that it intends to divest its
European ceramics manufacturing operation, Trans Tech Europe, and its digital
radio subsystem product line. The Trans Tech Europe manufacturing operation has
provided ceramic manufacturing capacity at a higher cost than our U.S.
operation, which, coupled with improved efficiencies in Maryland, have made the
European operation unnecessary. Similarly, the divestiture of the digital radio
subsystem product line will remove the disproportionate risk and cost
associated with the manufacture of these highly complex and low-volume,
low-margin subsystems, which have led to some past unpredictability in the
Company's operating results. The Company expects to take any associated charges
related to these divestitures in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company
is working to achieve favorable terms for the divestitures, but these charges
are not expected to exceed $2.6 million or $0.26 per share for the least
favorable outcome.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 29, 1996, working capital totaled $26.2 million and included
$10.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, compared
with $32.6 million of working capital at the end of fiscal 1996. Cash decreased
$4.2 million during the first half of fiscal 1997 as a result of an $8.2
million loss, further investments in inventories and capital expenditures, as
well as, decreasing accounts payable. Capital expenditures were primarily for
continued automation of the semiconductor wafer fab operations and the MMIC and
discrete semiconductor assembly and test areas, as well as, for the improved
manufacturing capabilities of the ceramic manufacturing facilities. The Company
remains committed to adding the required capacity needed to service the
wireless markets as demand begins to return and therefore is expanding its GaAs
Fab to handle four inch wafer capability. During the quarter, the Company
funded its capital expenditures by drawing down $4 million against its
equipment line of credit. The equipment line of credit was converted to a three
year term loan and at September 29, 1996, the total outstanding balance was
$4.8 million.

With cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $10.2 million and
a $7.5 million line of credit available, the Company believes it has adequate
funds to support its current operating needs. The Company will continue to
evaluate other available financing such as low interest financing for the
capital expansion of its ceramic manufacturing business and any other sources
that may become available.

Safe Harbor Statement - Except for the historical information contained
herein, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties. The Company's results could differ
materially based on various factors, including without limitation: cancellation
or deferral of customer orders, difficulties in the timely development and
market acceptance of new products, market developments that vary from the
current public expectations concerning the growth of wireless communications
(including PCS), difficulty in divesting the above-mentioned business
operations (including the possibility that the Company may be unable to
structure acceptable transactions), difficulties in manufacturing new or
existing products in sufficient quantity or quality, increased competitive
pressures, or changes in economic conditions. Further information on factors
that could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's
periodic reports filed with the S.E.C., including the most recent Form 10-K and
subsequent Form 10-Qs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company does not have any material pending legal proceedings other than
routine litigation incidental to its business.

The Company has been notified by federal and state environmental agencies of
its potential liability with respect to the following two sites: the Spectron,
Inc. Superfund site in Elkton, Maryland; and the Seaboard Chemical Corporation
site in Jamestown, North Carolina. In each case several hundred other companies
have also been notified about their potential liability regarding these sites.
The Company continues to deny that it has any responsibility with respect to
these sites other than as a de minimis party. Management is of the opinion that
the outcome of the aforementioned environmental matters will not have a
material effect on the Company's operations or financial position.
