BENSENVILLE, Ill., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- M~Wave, Inc. (Nasdaq: MWAV - news), a value-added service provider of high performance circuit boards used in a variety of digital and high frequency applications, announced a net income of $479,000 or $0.11 per share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported a net profit of $3,327,000 or $0.73 per share, compared with a net income of $2,120,000 or $0.47 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $46,586,000, up 31% from the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Cash levels decreased from $1,231,000 at December 31, 2000 to $1,149,000 at September 30, 2001. Accounts receivable was down $1,543,000 and inventories were down $6,349,000 from year-end.

We now expect our annual revenues for 2001 will range from $51 million to $56 million.''
