ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
California Microwave, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release on March 11,
1999, announcing that it will change its corporate name to Adaptive Broadband
Corporation effective April 29, 1999. Over the past two years, the Company has
narrowed its market and product focus to concentrate on wireless broadband
solutions. Its focus has changed so dramatically that the Company bears little
resemblance to the California supplier of defense electronics and microwave
components that was founded in 1968. In fact, the California Microwave name has
such a strong presence in the intelligence community that the Company has agreed
to include the name as part of the agreement to sell the Company's government
division to Northrop Grumman Corporation. Therefore, on April 29, 1999, the
Company will become known as Adaptive Broadband Corporation, with a new stock
symbol of ADAP, listed April 30 on the Nasdaq National Market trading system.
