M~Wave Announces First Quarter Results

BENSENVILLE, Ill., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- M~Wave, Inc. (Nasdaq: MWAV -
news), a manufacturer of high performance printed circuit boards used in wireless communications, announced a net income of
$167,000 or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared with a net income of $10,000 or $0.00
per share a year ago. Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 were $5,372,000 up 46% from the first quarter of 1999.

``We remain excited about our future in 2000,'' said Joseph A. Turek, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, ``we are on
track to exceed 1999 revenues by up to 100% with sales ranging from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000.''

Cash levels increased to $2,783,000 at March 31, 2000, up $196,000 from the year ended December 31, 1999. Inventories
increased to $3,271,000, up $1,240,000 from the year ended December 31, 1999. ``The increase in inventory was no
surprise since it was a direct result of increased sales and an inventory consignment agreement with Lucent,'' said Paul Schmitt,
Chief Financial Officer, ``we expect our investment in inventory to again increase in the second quarter of 2000.''

Capital expenditures were approximately $32,000 for the first quarter of 2000. M~Wave expects to spend an additional
$700,000 in the next nine months to improve our manufacturing processes. The planned capital expenses will be funded by
operations.

bobp, management has the habit of low balling their estimates of top and bottom line. In any case, the net income last quarter was 3.1% of revenue. The CFO's guidance for next quarters for operating income between 6-9%, net income between 3-6%. I think we'll see net income better than 6% not only because of their conservative guidance, but also they just hired a materials engineer whose primary function is to lower the cost of goods.

I also think their FY2000 revenue will exceed $30 million. They reported $5.4 mil for Q1, the CEO guided higher revenue for Q2, and revenues in Q3 and Q4 are expected to be the strongest of the year. Taking $30 million and 6% net income, we're looking at net income of $0.8 per share this year compared to a loss last year.

The last time (1994-95) the company had this kind of performance in top and bottom lines, stock was trading at the equivalence of $33/share.

Regards,

Tom
