[Veritek Manufacturing Services Letterhead]

August 2, 2006

Mr. Myron Levy
Vice Chairman & CEO
Herley Industries Inc.
101 North Pointe Blvd
Lancaster, PA 17601

Dear Mr. Levy:

Veritek Manufacturing Services LLC and its affiliated entities are the
beneficial owner of over 4% of the outstanding Common Stock of Herley
Industries, Inc. ("Herley" or the "Company"). For two months now, our Managing
Director, Brian Kahn, has repeatedly attempted to communicate with you about our
interest in pursuing a business combination with Herley. While we enjoyed brief
conversations with President John Kelly in June, for the last 30 days all
communication lines have been cut off completely. Therefore, we are left with no
alternative but to send this formal letter to the entire board.

Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC, is a manufacturer of complex electronic
components and assemblies with operations in the United States and Mexico.
We would like the opportunity to discuss the potential business combination of
Herley and Veritek. Subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, we
believe a combination of Herley and Veritek could generate consideration for
Herley shareholders in excess of $15.00 per share, a significant premium to the
current stock price of $10.50. We believe Herley's assets possess significant
value but that time is of the essence. We believe new ownership and management
of Herley assets would be viewed favorably by its customers, vendors, employees,
and shareholders alike. A prompt conclusion to the recent turmoil at Herley
would also alleviate risks of employee defection while increasing the chances of
maintaining the highest level of service for Herley's customers.

Once given the opportunity, Veritek is in position to complete due diligence
expeditiously, and without further disruption to Herley's business.

To reiterate, Veritek has a strong interest in pursuing a strategic business
combination with Herley and we believe such a combination would be beneficial
for all stakeholders in both companies.  We request the opportunity to properly
investigate such a transaction.  Please call me at (407) 909-8015 to discuss.

Sincerely,

/s/ Brian Kahn
