1.   Significant Accounting Policies:
 
    General
 
    In the opinion of the management of Allen Telecom Inc. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2001 and the consolidated results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The year-end 2000 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
 
    Consolidation Policy
 
    The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. To facilitate preparation of financial statements, the Company’s principal European operations, for periods on a prior to December 31, 2000, were included in the consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis.
 
    Effective January 1, 2001, such European operations changed their fiscal year-end from October 31 to December 31, consistent with the balance of the Company’s operations. The results of operations (net income of $2,432,000) for these European subsidiaries for the period November and December 2000, were recorded directly to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2001 and the results of operations for the period January 1, 2001 through March 31, 2001 were included in first quarter 2001 reported results of operations.
 
    Cash flow of such European operations for the two month period November and December 2000 is summarized as follows (amounts in millions):

           
Net income from operations $ 2.4
Increase in inventories (8.7 )
Decrease in receivables 3.2
Increase in accounts payable 14.1
Decrease in taxes payable (6.1 )
Net increase in fixed assets (1.2 )
Borrowings 16.1
Other .6

Increase in cash and equivalents $ 20.4

2.   Special Charges:
 
    In the fourth quarter 1999, the Company announced the restructuring of certain operations. In the first quarter 2000, the Company incurred incremental pretax charges of $1,678,000, or $.04 per basic and diluted share after related income tax effect in connection with such restructuring. These charges were not accruable at December 31, 1999. Of this pretax charge, $960,000 was recorded in cost of sales and $718,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses. Of the charge, $393,000 relates to a non-cash write-off of capital assets and $1,285,000 were cash related charges.
 
    The following is a summary of the activity for exit costs incurred (amounts in thousands).

                         
Severance Sale of Building
Accrual and Equipment Other



Accrual balance at December 31, 2000 $ 219 $ 1,549 $ 317
Charged against accrual (41 ) (1,300 ) (28 )

Balance March 31, 2001 $ 178 $ 249 $ 289

    The term of severance is based on years of service or determined by contractual obligation, and is payable over a period of time. Severance will be paid out in its entirety by October 31, 2001.
 
3.   Discontinued Operations:
 
    The gain on sale from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2000 represents income from previously contingent purchase price consideration earned on the sale of the Company’s former automotive emissions testing business sold in the first quarter of 1999. This gain is net of related income taxes in the amount of $700,000.

5.   Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements:
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” in June 1998 which is now effective. Accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of the standard on January 1, 2001. The Company utilizes hedging activities primarily in its foreign subsidiaries to limit foreign currency exchange rate risk on receivables and to offset the impact of currency rate changes with regard to certain intercompany payables and foreign denominated purchase obligations. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position for the period ended March 31, 2001.
 
    In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Accordingly, prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 presentation. The previously reported amounts for each of sales and cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 have been increased $903,000 to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications had no net impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders’ equity.
 
6.   Reclassifications:
 
    Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
7.   Subsequent Event:
 
    On January 23, 2001, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent, subject to certain conditions, to acquire Smith Woolley Telecoms (“SWT”), a division of Smith Woolley Chartered Surveyors located in England. The Company and SWT have allowed their letter of intent to lapse on the expiration date, April 30, 2001, principally due to the stock market volatility and the inability to finalize acquisition terms acceptable to both parties.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We design, manufacture, and market wireless communications infrastructure equipment and provide wireless engineering and consulting services for the global wireless communications markets. Our products and services improve the capacity, coverage and performance of wireless networks, including emerging 3G networks. As part of our commitment to our customers’ evolving needs, we have also developed new products for E 911 geolocation and other emerging wireless equipment markets such as next generation power amplifiers. Our products and services serve all major wireless standards and frequencies.

Results of Operations

Summary:

We reported net income from continuing operations of $2.4 million ($.09 per common share) for the first quarter 2001, as compared with $0.6 million ($.02 per common share) for the first quarter 2000. Total sales increased 22% from $88.9 million in the first quarter 2000 to $108.5 million in the first quarter 2001.

The strong U.S. dollar relative to the Euro negatively impacted reported sales and pretax income of European operations in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of 2000. As a result of exchange differences, reported sales and pretax income in the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $4.0 million and $0.6 million lower, respectively, as compared with the corresponding prior year period, assuming the exchange rates stayed the same.

Included in the results of operations for the first quarter 2000, are incremental pretax restructuring charges of approximately $1.7 million, or $.04 per basic and diluted share after related income tax effect. See Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning such special items.

Wireless Communications Equipment:

Wireless communications equipment sales were up 24% from $82.9 million in first quarter 2000 to $102.8 million in the first quarter 2001. Sales increased across all product lines with base station subsystems and components showing the largest increase of 37% from $43.3 million to $59.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. For the same time period, sales of repeaters and in-building coverage products and base station and mobile antennas were up 17% and 2%, respectively. Geographically, sales were up in all parts of the world with the exception of the Asian region. Sales were up 21% in North America, 72% in South America and 26% in Europe. Sales were down 27% in the Asian region, primarily due to a decrease in sales in Australia relating to the completion of the in-building coverage system for the 2000 summer Olympics.

                 
Sales By Product Line

($ Millions) 1Q 2001 1Q 2000

Base station subsystems and components $ 59.4 $ 43.3
Repeater and in-building coverage products 22.8 19.5
Base station and mobile antennas 20.6 20.1

Total Wireless Communications Equipment $ 102.8 $ 82.9

Backlog for this segment increased 22% from $106.9 million at December 31, 2000 to $130.2 million at March 31, 2001.

Gross profit margins were 27.4% in the first quarter of 2001, as compared with 29.3% (excluding the aforementioned incremental restructuring costs) in the first quarter of 2000. The lower gross profit margins in 2001 were due to a change in product mix, with less sales coming from the higher margin test and measurement products and more sales coming from certain lower margin combiner products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.0 million, or 10.7% of sales, and $10.5 million, or 12.7% of sales (excluding the aforementioned incremental restructuring costs), for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Spending as a percentage of sales is lower due to the spreading of fixed costs on higher sales.

Total assets for the wireless communications equipment segment increased 20% from $261.2 million at December 31, 2000 to $314.7 million at March 31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to an increase in inventory for the base station subsystems and components product line, due to the significant planned increase in production based on preliminary discussions with OEM customers and their anticipated orders. The OEMs have dramatically changed their outlook in early 2001. We have

12


Table of Contents

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)

initiated plans to reduce this inventory to amounts more in line with revised near term sales projections. We believe this could take six to nine months based on current sales projections. This is also the reason for the increase in accounts payable. While we have initiated plans to reduce the level of inventory, there are certain risks inherent in such inventory including the potential for increased obsolescence. We believe there is no need, at present, for significant increases in our reserves for obsolescence; however, such factors as technological obsolescence, dependency on customer orders and the effectiveness of our action plans may require reassessment in the future. We will continue to monitor this aspect closely.

Wireless Engineering and Consulting Services:

Wireless engineering and consulting services sales were down slightly from $6.0 million in first quarter 2000 to $5.8 million in first quarter 2001. Backlog was down $0.7 million from year-end 2000 to $3.7 million. Gross profit margins for this segment were 30.6% in the first quarter 2001, as compared with 37.7% in the first quarter 2000. This decrease in margins is primarily attributable to lower software sales, which contribute higher margins than other products and services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 27.8% of sales for the first quarter of 2001 compared to 23.0% for the first quarter of 2000. This higher ratio was primarily due to one time expenses related to the now terminated letter of intent to acquire Smith Woolley. (See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Research and Development:

Research and development and product engineering costs were 6.4% and 7.0% of sales in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decreased rate of spending as a percentage of sales is attributable to the increase in sales in the current quarter. We believe that product development costs will remain fairly consistent in dollars throughout the year.

Interest and Financing Expenses:

Net interest and financing costs increased to $2.6 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The higher interest expense is due principally to higher debt levels to finance working capital requirements offset, in part, by lower interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes:

Our effective income tax rate was 39.0% and 40.1% for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The principal reason for the decrease is due to lower statutory tax rates for our major German subsidiary and the forecasted increase in income in other lower tax jurisdictions. The first quarter 2001 tax rate is in line with our current expectation for the full year 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

As set forth in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we used $10.1 million of cash in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to a cash generation of $12.3 million for the comparable 2000 period. This decline in cash flow is due primarily to the aforementioned increase in inventory. We generated $1.0 million of cash from investing activities in the first quarter 2001, due primarily to the sale of idle facilities, as compared to using $3.5 million in the first quarter 2000. Cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 was $5.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2001, we had available unused worldwide lines of credit of $63.0 million.

As described in Note 1, we changed the fiscal year-end of certain of our foreign subsidiaries effective January 1, 2001. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2001 now includes these operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. The net cash flow for the two month period ended December 31, 2000 is shown separately in the Statements of Cash Flows. Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements includes summarized information for the components of this $20.4 million increase in cash.
