3.       Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
determined for the basic computation plus the number of shares of common stock
that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive
effect on earnings per share were outstanding.



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

OVERVIEW

THE COMPANY. The business of Acrodyne Communications, Inc. (formerly Acrodyne
Holdings, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is conducted through
its sole operating subsidiary, Acrodyne Industries, Inc. ("Acrodyne"). Acrodyne
was acquired by the Company on October 24, 1994 (the "Acquisition"). Prior
thereto, the Company had no operations. The Company changed its name to Acrodyne
Communications, Inc. on June 9, 1995.

BUSINESS OF ACRODYNE. Acrodyne (together with its predecessor) has designed,
manufactured and marketed television transmitters and translators which have
been sold in the United States and internationally since 1971. The function of a
television transmitter is to broadcast on the air television signals to a
specific audience receiving such signals by regular antenna or by a local cable
company which then feeds the signal to their subscribers. Television
translators, which operate unattended, retransmit incoming signals from primary
stations on different channels within areas where direct reception of the
original signal may be limited by mountains or other geographic impediments.

ACRODYNE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. Acrodyne designs, manufactures and markets
digital and analog television broadcast transmitters and translators for
domestic and international television stations, broadcasters, government
agencies, not-for-profit organizations and educational institutions. The useful
life of a television transmitter or translator is approximately 20 years.
Acrodyne's television transmitters, which range in transmission power levels
from one watt for localized applications to tens of thousands of watts for large
television broadcasters, have a modularized design which permits Acrodyne to
respond to specific customer requests. Acrodyne classifies its transmitters into
two categories based upon the power output of such transmitters. Lower power
transmitters and higher power transmitters transmit signals in both UHF and VHF
frequency bands. The VHF band covers channels two through thirteen and the UHF
band covers channels above thirteen. Typically each transmitter permits the
sender to broadcast over one channel. In the case of adjacent channel
assignments, for which the broadcaster transmits two television signals on
adjacent channels, one analog and one digital, Acrodyne offers a single
transmitter to transmit both signals. To the Company's knowledge, none of its
competitors offers this single transmitter capability. In addition, Acrodyne
manufactures a full line of Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System
transmitters for the wireless cable industry.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1997

The following compares the Company's summary results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997:

                                        Three Months Ended March 31,
                                          1998                1997
                                                 (Unaudited)


Net Sales                                $3,163,975          $2,268,198
Cost of sales                             2,133,438           1,671,885
                                          ---------           ---------
     Gross profit                         1,030,537             596,313
Operating expenses                        1,000,581            932,702
                                          ---------             -------
Operating profit (loss)                $     29,956          ($336,389)
                                       ============         ============


Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 showed a 39% increase over
net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Management believes that
the issuance of final channel allocations relative to Digital Television by the
Federal Communications Commission contributed greatly to the increase in sales
volume. The volume of sales of High Power Transmitters in the domestic market,
which was basically non existent in fiscal 1997, increased to $1,793,580 during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to zero sales volume during
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Company's margin on sales increased
to 32% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 26% in the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase is attributable to the sale of High Power
transmitters which are less labor intensive and to the higher content of foreign
sales which can command higher margins in the industry.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by
$67,879 to $1,000,581 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. This
was due to a 9% increase in research and development expenditures and a 9%
increase in administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, Acrodyne has financed its activities primarily from customer
deposits, internally generated funds, and use of its credit facility. At March
31, 1998, the Company's working capital increased by $33,207 to $7,274,572 as
compared to $7,241,365 at December 31, 1997.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 1998 were $1,175,845 and reflect a $232,662
increase from December 31, 1997. This increase is due mainly to the higher sales
volume experienced during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to all of fiscal
1997. The majority of the Company's sales of domestic transmitters are made with
credit terms of a non-refundable 30% deposit at the time of placing the order,
40% to 60% prior to shipment and 10% to 30% net thirty days. The Company
continues to require an irrevocable letter of credit on international orders.

Inventories, net of reserves, increased only slightly to $5,347,917 at March 31,
1998 from $5,271,449 at December 31, 1997 due to a growth in order backlog.

In March of 1998, the Company and Acrodyne, as co-borrowers, established a new
$1,500,000 credit facility with a bank for working capital purposes to replace
its then existing bank credit facilities. Also, in the same month, the company
reserved $500,000 for an irrevocable standby letter of credit to secure the
Senior Subordinated Note described below. At December 31, 1997 and March 31,
1998, there was no balance outstanding under the new credit facility. The new
credit facility is secured by the assignment of a certificate of deposit in the
amount of $1,500,000 maintained at the bank. The standby letter of credit is
secured by a $500,000 treasury bill maintained at the issuing bank. As the
outstanding balance on the Senior Subordinated Note has fallen below $500,000
the Company is beginning to see and will continue to see slight increases in its
available cash on a quarterly basis as less collateral is required.

The Company is obligated to pay the former majority shareholder of Acrodyne
quarterly installments of principal and interest over a five-year period under
the terms of a $1,450,000 Senior Subordinated Note. Interest on such note is
payable at the rate of 9% per annum. Such note is secured by the irrevocable
standby letter of credit in the principal amount of $500,000 mentioned above.
The first fourteen (14) quarterly payments totaling $1,338,570 (including
interest) under such note have been made through April 23, 1998 pursuant to the
agreement. The next quarterly payment of $76,613 (including interest) is due on
July 23, 1998.

As of May 8, 1998, the Company had approximately $2,220,000 of available cash
and cash equivalents on hand, as compared to $3,011,294 as of December 31, 1997.
The reduction is due primarily to the use of capital for funding the growth in
operating performance during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and the
acceleration of payments of current liabilities. In addition, as of May 8, 1998,
the Company had an outstanding balance of $400,000 against its credit facility.

Available cash on hand combined with cash flows from operations and available
funds under the line of credit and other financing sources are anticipated to be
sufficient to finance the operations and obligations of the Company through
March 1999.

SIGNIFICANT AND RECENT EVENTS

During 1996, the Company privately placed, pursuant to Rule 505 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), 10,500 shares of its then newly
created class of 8% convertible redeemable preferred stock, par value $1.00 per
share (the "Preferred Stock"), for which the Company received aggregate proceeds
of $1,050,000. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders
into the number of common shares obtained by dividing the liquidation value by a
$4.00 per share conversion price, as such price may from time to time be
adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 1997,
the conversion price has been adjusted to $3.71 per share because of the sale of
common stock in 1997 described below. As of the dates of issuance of the
Preferred Stock, the weighted average market price for the Company's common
stock was $5.55. Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred
Stock had an intrinsic value of $421,563 which was recorded as an immediate
dividend in accordance with rules established by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). To properly reflect the impact to the year
affected, the Company reported this transaction on Form 10-KSB/A for the year
ended December 31, 1996 filed with the SEC on March 31, 1998. During 1997, 4,000
shares of the Preferred Stock were converted into common stock at a conversion
price of $4.00 per share. As of May 8, 1998 there have been no other
conversions.

On April 15, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Company's 1997
stock option plan with authorization to grant options with respect to an
aggregate of up to 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On January 20,
1998, the stock option plan was amended to add another 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. There have been no options granted under such plan
through May 8, 1998.

On November 7, 1997, the Company privately placed with a group of investors
800,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share, for
an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. Concurrently, the Company also issued
warrants for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock, with such
warrants being exercisable until November 7, 2002 at an exercise price of $3.00
per share of common stock. These securities were all issued pursuant to the
exemption from registration under the Act set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act
(such issuance of the shares and warrants, collectively, the "Private Placement"
and, the investors in such Private Placement, the "Scorpion Investor Group").
Scorpion Holdings Inc. ("Scorpion") arranged for the financing by the investors
in the Private Placement. The Company has entered into a financial advisory
agreement with Scorpion pursuant to which Scorpion has agreed to provide
financial management, strategic planning and to arrange private and public
financing along with review and analysis of potential acquisition candidates.

The Company filed on April 17, 1998 a registration statement on Form S-3 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission to, among other things, register for
resale, under the Act, the shares of common stock sold, and the shares of common
stock underlying the warrants sold, in the Private Placement, as well as the
shares of common stock underlying certain other warrants previously issued by
the Company issued to other investors. However, the Scorpion Investor Group has
agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares and warrants for a period
of one year after the Private Placement.

During April 1998, Alchemy Capital exercised a total of 4,000 warrants at an
exercise price of $3.00 per warrant share.
