NOTE 2.     LONG-TERM DEBT

At April 1, 2000, the Company had a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit at an
interest rate of the banks base rate plus 1/2 of 1% (9.75% at April 1, 2000)
with Wainwright Bank and Trust Company. This line of credit was secured by a
pledge of substantially all the assets of the Company and required no
compensating balances. This line matured on May 1, 2000 and was not renewed. As
of April 1, 2000, the Company has outstanding standby letters of credit, which
were supported by the line of credit amounting to $88,355. Wainwright bank has
agreed to honor these standby letters of credit until they mature at various
dates through October 31, 2000. There were no borrowings outstanding against the
line.

The Company is currently negotiating a new credit facility with a financial
institution. This revolving line of credit has received approval from the
financial institution's credit committee and although no assurances can be
given with respect to the timing, a formal closing is expected shortly. The
Company believes this new credit facility will meet its current credit needs
and its need for the foreseeable future.

NOTE 3.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company was the defendant in GERARD v. TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION,
ET AL., filed in the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in
1999. This case arose from disputes concerning the hiring and termination of
Roland Gerard, former president of the Company. The Complaint alleges state law
claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and civil conspiracy.
During the quarter the Company settled this lawsuit. An earlier complaint
brought by Mr. Gerard in the Federal court, which included the state claims, and
a federal securities claim was dismissed in July 1999; the securities claims
were dismissed with prejudice.




            PART I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing
communications security equipment. The Company receives orders for equipment
from customers, which may take several months or longer to manufacture and ship.
With the exception of long-term contracts where revenue is recognized under the
percentage of completion method, the Company generally recognizes income on a
unit-of-delivery basis. This latter method can cause revenues to vary widely
from quarter to quarter and therefore quarterly comparisons of revenue may not
be indicative of any trend.

        THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
                              ENDED APRIL 3, 1999

Net sales for the quarters ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, were
$1,381,050 and $1,247,336 respectively. This increase of 11% is attributed to
variability in revenue recognition as a result of the timing of shipments and
the receipt of anticipated orders.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was $678,906 as compared to
gross profit of $714,414 for the same period of fiscal year 1999. This
represented a 5% decrease in gross profit for the quarter, primarily
attributable to the mix of products sold. Gross profit expressed as a percentage
of sales was 49% in 2000 as compared to 57% for the same period in fiscal year
1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
2000 and 1999 were $1,102,528 and $1,058,640, respectively. This increase of 4%
was primarily attributable to the costs and


                                   Page 6
<PAGE>


expenses associated with the settlement of the litigation discussed in Note 3 to
the financial statements. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of
approximately $56,000 in sales commissions.

Product development costs for the quarter ended April 1, 2000 were $266,972
compared to $552,606 for the same period in fiscal 1999. This decrease of 52%
was attributable to a shift in development work from internal product
development to billable product development.


The Company incurred a net loss of $418,109 for the second quarter of fiscal
2000 as compared to net income of $147,100 for the same period in fiscal 1999.
Included in the net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 is a loss from
operations of $690,594 as compared to an operating loss of $896,832 in 1999.
Included in the net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 is a one-time
gain on the sale of an investment of $1,056,638. The increase in operating
profitability is primarily attributable to the decrease in operating expenses as
described above.


          SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS
                              ENDED APRIL 3, 1999

Net sales for the six months ended April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999, were
$3,634,453 and $2,318,693, respectively. This increase of 57% is attributed to
variability in revenue recognition as a result of the timing of shipments and
the receipt of anticipated orders. The strengthening of economic conditions in
many countries contributed to an increased order flow from our traditional
international government markets.

Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $2,121,973 as compared
to gross profit of $1,378,459 for the same period of fiscal year 1999. This
represented a 54% increase in gross profit for the quarter. Gross profit
expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 58% in 2000 from 59% as compared
to the same period in fiscal year 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of fiscal
2000 and 1999 were $2,055,361 and $2,528,551, respectively. This decrease of 19%
was primarily attributable to approximately $475,000 in costs associated with
the settlement of litigation in fiscal 1999 and was offset by $147,000 in costs
associated with the settlement of litigation discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements. In addition, a reduction in marketing costs associated
with new product development resulted in a decrease of approximately $70,000.

Product development costs for the six months ended April 1, 2000 were $628,316
compared to $1,092,268 for the same period in fiscal 1999. This decrease of 42%
was attributable to a shift in development work from internal product
development to billable product development.

The Company showed a net loss of $311,423 for the first six months of fiscal
2000 as compared to a net loss of $841,288 for the same period in fiscal 1999.
The improvement in profitability is primarily attributable to the increased
sales, the increase in gross profit and the decrease in operating spending as
described above.


YEAR 2000 UPDATE

Technical Communications Corporation has been actively addressing the Year 2000
(Y2K) problem since April 1998. Generally speaking, the Y2K problem results from
the use of two-digit, rather than four-digit, date years in computer systems and
software applications.

The Company divided its Y2K efforts into three major areas: (i) products and
customers, (ii) enterprise business systems and information technology and (iii)
external systems and suppliers. The review of each area consisted of an
inventory of potentially affected systems, an assessment of Y2K readiness and
corrective action deployment. As of the date of this report, the Company has
completed these year 2000 initiatives.

As a result of completing these initiatives, the Company believes that all of
its material information technology systems and critical non-information
technology systems are year 2000 compliant. The


                                  page 7
<PAGE>


Company believes that all of the material products that it currently
manufactures and sells are year 2000 compliant and not date sensitive. In
addition, the Company is not aware of any significant vendor that has
experienced material disruption due to year 2000 issues. As of the date of this
report, the Company has incurred expenses related to the year 2000 problem,
since April 1998, of approximately $63,000. The main portion of these costs
relates to the evaluation and testing of products for Y2K compliance. We will
continue to monitor our systems and vendors to ensure that issues do not arise
in the coming months. Although we do not anticipate any future significant
business interruption, we can give no assurance that such interruption will not
occur.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. In
June 1999, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 (SFAS
137), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133--an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133". This Statement has delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not expect the adoption of
this statement to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and short-term investments increased by $1,565,406 or 67% to $3,904,341 as
of April 1, 2000, from a balance of $2,338,935 at October 2, 1999. This increase
was primarily due to the reduction of accounts receivable and inventory. The
current ratio increased to 9.4:1 at April 1, 2000 compared to 6.7:1 as of
October 2, 1999, primarily as a result of the cash received on accounts
receivable during the quarter.

At April 1, 2000, the Company had a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit at an
interest rate of the banks base rate plus 1/2 of 1% (9.75% at April 1, 2000)
with Wainwright Bank and Trust Company. This line of credit was secured by a
pledge of substantially all the assets of the Company and required no
compensating balances. This line matured on May 1, 2000 and was not renewed. As
of April 1, 2000, the Company has outstanding standby letters of credit, which
were supported by the line of credit amounting to $88,355. Wainwright bank has
agreed to honor these standby letters of credit until they mature at various
dates through October 31, 2000. There were no borrowings outstanding against the
line.

The Company is currently negotiating a new credit facility with a financial
institution. This revolving line of credit has received approval from the
financial institution's credit committee and although no assurances can be
given with respect to the timing, a formal closing is expected shortly. The
Company believes this new facility will meet its current credit needs and its
needs for the foreseeable future.

Management anticipates no unusual capital expenditures during the remainder of
fiscal 2000. Management is currently working to renew its existing line of
credit, if it is unable to do so, its operations may be substantially adversely
affected.
