MAGNUM MICROWAVE CORPORATION

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA 95131
August 1, 1996
Dear Shareholder:
A Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of Magnum Microwave
Corporation ("Magnum") will be held at Magnum's principal executive offices,
1990 Concourse Drive, San Jose, California, on August 23, 1996, at 9:00 a.m.,
local time.
At the Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the approval of
the principal terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger and
related Agreement of Merger (collectively, the "Merger Agreement") providing for
the merger of REMEC Acquisition Corporation ("RAC"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of REMEC, Inc. ("REMEC"), with and into Magnum. Magnum will be the surviving
corporation and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of REMEC. Pursuant to the
terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Magnum Common Stock
will be converted into .046959196 of a share of REMEC Common Stock. Based on the
price of REMEC Common Stock on July 29, 1996 ($13.75 per share), each share of
Magnum Common Stock will be valued at $.65 per share. The actual value may vary.
The merger is expected to become effective immediately following approval by the
shareholders of Magnum.
After careful consideration, your Board of Directors has unanimously
approved the Merger Agreement described in the attached material and the
transactions contemplated thereby and has concluded that they are fair to and in
the best interests of Magnum and its shareholders. Your Board of Directors
unanimously recommends a vote in favor of the merger.
In the material accompanying this letter, you will find a Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders, a Prospectus/Proxy Statement relating to the actions to
be taken by Magnum shareholders at the Meeting, and a proxy card. The
Prospectus/Proxy Statement more fully describes the proposed merger and includes
information about Magnum and REMEC.
ALTHOUGH THE APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF SHARES IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO APPROVE
THE MERGER, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE MERGER IS THAT DISSENTERS' RIGHTS BE
LIMITED TO LESS THAN 10% OF THE OUTSTANDING STOCK. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL KNOW AT
THE MEETING WHETHER THIS CONDITION IS MET IS TO OBTAIN AFFIRMATIVE VOTES FOR THE
MERGER OF 90% OR MORE. SHAREHOLDERS WISHING TO EFFECT THEIR DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
MUST SUBMIT NOTICE PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND MUST NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER
(SEE THE ENCLOSED PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT, "TERMS OF THE
MERGER -- DISSENTERS' RIGHTS"). THE MANAGEMENT OF MAGNUM BELIEVES THAT THE
MERGER IS AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MAGNUM AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE
REASONS DISCUSSED IN THE ATTACHED PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. WE WOULD STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEND IN YOUR PROXY SO THAT YOUR VOTE CAN BE COUNTED AND A
DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE OF THE PERCENTAGE OF POTENTIAL DISSENTERS AT THE
MEETING.
All shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Meeting in person. If
you attend the Meeting, you may vote in person if you wish, even though you have
previously returned your proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting,
it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Meeting,
regardless of the number you hold. Therefore, please complete, sign, date and
return your proxy in the enclosed envelope.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH T. LEE
Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer & President

MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF MAGNUM
Time, Date, Place and
Purpose.................. A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Magnum (the
"Magnum Meeting") will be held on August 23, 1996
at 9:00 a.m., local time, at Magnum's principal
executive offices, 1990 Concourse Drive, San Jose,
California 95131.
At the Magnum Meeting, Magnum shareholders will be
asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to
approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
and Merger (the "Agreement of Reorganization")
dated as of May 16, 1996 (a copy of which is
attached hereto as Appendix A) and the related
Agreement of Merger (a copy of which is attached
hereto as Appendix B) (collectively, the "Merger
Agreement") among Magnum, REMEC Acquisition
Corporation ("RAC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
REMEC, and REMEC. See "The Merger and Related
Transactions."
Record Date; Vote
Required................. The record date for shareholders of Magnum entitled
to vote upon the Merger is July 29, 1996. Under
applicable law, approval of the Merger requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Magnum Common Stock
entitled to vote of the Magnum Common Stock. At the
record date there were 20,083,329 shares entitled
to vote, and the favorable vote of 10,041,665

<PAGE> 11
THE MERGER
Effect of Merger........... RAC will be merged with and into Magnum, with
Magnum as the surviving corporation and becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of REMEC (the "Merger").
All of the outstanding shares of Magnum Common
Stock will be converted into shares of REMEC Common
Stock.
Effective Date of the
Merger................... The Merger will be effective when the Agreement of
Merger is filed with the California Secretary of
State (the "Effective Date"). The Agreement of
Merger is expected to be filed with the California
Secretary of State immediately following the Magnum
Meeting (currently expected to be on or about
August 23, 1996). The Merger is also subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent
to the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement.
See "Terms of the Merger -- Effective Date of the
Merger" and "Terms of the Merger -- Conditions to
the Merger."
Terms of the Merger........ As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share
of Magnum Common Stock (other than shares, if any,
as to which dissenters' rights have been exercised
pursuant to California law) will be converted into
.046959196 of a share of REMEC Common Stock. REMEC
will assume all options to acquire shares of Magnum
Common Stock that are outstanding at the Effective
Date of the Merger (the "Outstanding Magnum
Options"). See "Terms of the Merger -- Manner and
Basis of Converting Shares and Outstanding Magnum
Options."
Exchange Ratio............. The basis on which the Magnum Stock will be
converted into REMEC Common Stock is referred to
herein as the "Exchange Ratio." Based upon the
Exchange Ratio and the number of shares of Magnum
Common Stock and REMEC Common Stock outstanding as
of the record date established for the Magnum
Meeting, and assuming that: (i) no Magnum
shareholders exercise dissenters' rights; and (ii)
no outstanding REMEC or Magnum options are
exercised prior to the Merger, approximately
8,884,465 shares of REMEC Common Stock will be
outstanding upon consummation of the Merger, of
which approximately 1,081,486 shares (approximately
12.17% of the total), will be held by the former
holders of Magnum Common Stock. Based on the price
of REMEC Common Stock on July 29, 1996, for each
share of Magnum Common Stock owned, Magnum
shareholders will receive REMEC Common Stock with a
value of $.65 per share of Magnum Common Stock. The
actual value may vary. See "Terms of the
Merger -- Manner and Basis of Converting Shares and
Outstanding Magnum Options."
Interests of Certain
Persons ................. One of the Directors of Magnum, Joseph T. Lee, owns
a majority of the Magnum Common Stock that will be
converted into shares of REMEC Common Stock in the
Merger. Robert Goff, Director of Magnum, owns
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Magnum Common
Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, Mr. Lee
will enter into an employment contract as an
executive officer of REMEC and Magnum commencing
approximately 30 days after completion of the
Merger.
Recommendations of the
Boards of the Companies.. The Board of Directors of each company has approved
the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby as being fair to and in the
best interests of such company and its
shareholders. THE
2
<PAGE> 12
BOARD OF MAGNUM UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF
THE MERGER BY THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MAGNUM. For a
discussion of the reasons favoring the Merger and
certain risk factors, including the potential
volatility in the price of REMEC Common Stock,
considered by each company's Board of Directors,
see "The Merger and Related Transactions -- Reasons
for the Merger."
Exchange of Shares......... At the Effective Date of the Merger, each issued
and outstanding share of Magnum Common Stock (other
than shares, if any, as to which dissenters' rights
have been exercised pursuant to California law)
automatically will be converted into .046959196 of
a share of REMEC Common Stock. Exchange of
certificates evidencing shares of Magnum Common
Stock for certificates evidencing shares of REMEC
Common Stock will be made upon surrender of the
former to Wells Fargo Bank, as exchange agent.
CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SURRENDERED FOR EXCHANGE
PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER BY THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF MAGNUM. Magnum shareholders will be
provided with a letter of transmittal and related
materials needed to exchange their certificates
after such approval. Promptly after the Effective
Date of the Merger, REMEC will notify Magnum option
holders of the procedure to be followed in
connection with REMEC's assumption of such options.
See "Terms of the Merger -- Manner and Basis of
Converting Shares and Outstanding Magnum Options"
and "Terms of the Merger -- Exchange of
Certificates."
Conditions to the Merger;
Termination.............. Notwithstanding approval of the Merger by the
shareholders of Magnum, the consummation of the
Merger is subject to a number of conditions which,
if not fulfilled or waived, permit termination of
the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement may also
be terminated by mutual consent. See "Terms of the
Merger -- Conditions to the Merger" and "Terms of
the Merger -- Termination or Amendment of Agreement
of Reorganization."
Governmental and Regulatory
Approvals................ REMEC and Magnum are aware of no governmental or
regulatory approvals required for consummation of
the Merger, other than compliance with federal and
applicable state securities laws and the filing and
recording of the Merger Agreement as required under
California Law.
United States Federal
Income Tax
Consequences............. The Merger is intended to be a tax-free
reorganization for federal income tax purposes and
consummation of the merger is conditioned upon
receipt of opinions of counsel to Magnum relating
to certain tax matters. If the Merger is a tax-free
reorganization, shareholders of Magnum generally
will recognize no gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of their exchange of
Magnum Common Stock for REMEC Common Stock in the
Merger, except to the extent that Magnum
shareholders exercise dissenters' rights or receive
cash in lieu of fractional shares. See "Terms of
the Merger -- United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations."

<PAGE> 13
Accounting Treatment....... The Merger is to be treated as a pooling of
interests for accounting purposes. As a condition
to the consummation of the Merger, REMEC is to
receive an opinion from its independent public
accountants, Ernst & Young LLP, that the Merger
will be treated as a pooling of interests. To
ensure pooling of interests treatment, certain
shareholders of Magnum will provide representation
letters to REMEC and Magnum. See "Terms of the
Merger -- Accounting Treatment."
The Private Placement...... To ensure the Merger is accounted for under the
pooling of interests method of accounting, the
Merger Agreement contemplates the issuance by
Magnum of 2,800,000 shares of Magnum Common Stock
for cash to certain investors that will not be
security broker/dealers or affiliates thereof and
that will be "accredited investors" within the
meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act (the
"Private Placement"). Any security broker/dealers
or affiliates thereof that facilitate the Private
Placement could be deemed to be underwriters.
Consummation of the Private Placement is a
condition to closing and the Magnum Common Stock to
be issued in the Private Placement is expected to
be sold at a price per share of 80% to 94% of the
estimated value of Magnum Common Stock based on the
Exchange Ratio and the price of REMEC Common Stock
($.52 to $.61 per share of Magnum Common Stock
based on the $13.75 closing price on the Nasdaq
National Market of REMEC Common Stock on July 29,
1996). The Private Placement is expected to take
place approximately 10 days before the Effective
Date of the Merger but after the record date. The
holders of such shares will therefore not be
entitled to vote on the Merger. See "Terms of the
Merger -- The Private Placement."
Dissenters' Rights......... Magnum shareholders are entitled to certain rights
under California law to receive cash for their
shares provided that they follow certain prescribed
statutory procedures. The failure of a dissenting
shareholder to follow the appropriate procedure may
result in the termination or waiver of such rights.
See "Terms of the Merger -- Dissenters' Rights."
Certain Effects of the
Merger on the Rights of
Magnum Shareholders...... The internal affairs of Magnum are currently
governed by Magnum' Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws. Upon consummation of the Merger, the
shareholders of Magnum will become shareholders of
REMEC and their rights will be governed by REMEC's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which differ
from Magnum' Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
See "Description of REMEC's Capital Stock."

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
give effect to the merger between Magnum Microwave Corporation ("Magnum") and
REMEC, Inc. (the "Company" or "REMEC") using the pooling of interests method of
accounting and are based upon the respective historical financial statements and
notes thereto of Magnum and the Company appearing elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. To reflect the pooling of interests, the operating results
of Magnum for each of its three fiscal years ended March 29, 1996 and the
unaudited three months ended April 26, 1996 have been combined with the
Company's operating results for each of its three fiscal years ended January 31,
1996 and for the three months ended May 5, 1996. In addition, the pro forma
statements of income for the years ended January 31, 1996 and for the three
months ended May 5, 1996 include the pro forma effect of the acquisition by
REMEC of RF Microsystems ("RFM"), accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting as if it had occured on February 1, 1995, and are based upon the
historical financial statements and notes thereto of RFM. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with
each of the historical financial statements referred to above and the notes
thereto. The proposed Merger requires the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Magnum. The pro forma condensed combined financial
statements are presented for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be
indicative of what the actual results of operations or financial position would
have been for the periods presented had the transactions occurred on the dates
indicated and do not purport to indicate the results of future operations.

PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK
REMEC. REMEC Common Stock has traded on the Nasdaq National Market ("NNM")
under the symbol "REMC" since REMEC's initial public offering on February 1,
1996. Prior to that time, there was no public market for REMEC's Common Stock.
As of May 31, 1996, the number of shareholders of record of REMEC Common
Stock was approximately 300. REMEC is unable to estimate the number of
beneficial holders of the shares held in street name.
The high and low closing sales prices during each quarter since REMEC
Common Stock became publicly traded are set forth below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LOW HIGH
------ ----
<S> <C> <C>
First Quarter Ended May 5, 1996............................................ 8 1/8 17 3/8
Second Quarter Ending August 4, 1996 (through July 29, 1996)............... 11 3/8 22 3/8
</TABLE>
On May 16, 1996, the last trading day prior to the first public
announcement by REMEC and Magnum concerning the Merger, the closing price of the
REMEC Common Stock reported on the NNM was $18.50 per share. On May 17, 1996,
the closing price of REMEC Common Stock as reported on the NNM was $21.00 per
share.
Following the Merger, REMEC Common Stock will continue to be traded on the
NNM under the Nasdaq symbol "REMC."
REMEC declared and paid cash dividends of approximately $55,000 ($0.01 per
share) in July 1993, 1994 and 1995 to holders of Common Stock and Preferred
Stock (on an as-converted basis). The Company currently intends to retain all
future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and development of its
business and, therefore, does not plan to pay dividends on its Common Stock in
the foreseeable future.
Magnum. There is no public market for the Magnum Common Stock. Magnum has
not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock during the last three fiscal years.
The last arms-length transactions in Magnum Common Stock of which Magnum is
aware took place at $.20 per share in January 1996. Based on the $13.75 price of
REMEC Common Stock on July 29, 1996, for each share of Magnum Common Stock owned
Magnum shareholders will receive REMEC Common Stock with a value of
approximately $.65 per share of Magnum Common Stock. As of the record date of
the Magnum Meeting, the number of shareholders of record of Magnum's Common
Stock was approximately 184.

<PAGE> 18
RISK FACTORS
The following factors, among others, should be carefully considered in
evaluating the Merger and in evaluating the respective and combined businesses
of REMEC and Magnum before voting with respect to the matters to be considered
at the Magnum Meeting.
Difficulties and Cost of Integration. The anticipated benefits of the
Merger will not be achieved unless REMEC and Magnum are successfully combined in
a smooth and timely manner. That combination will require integration of the
companies' research and development, administrative, sales and marketing
organizations, as well as the coordination of their sales efforts. The
transition to a combined company in which Magnum is a wholly owned subsidiary of
REMEC will require substantial attention from management, which has limited
experience in integrating companies of the size of REMEC and Magnum. The
diversion of management attention and any difficulties encountered in the
transition process could have an adverse impact on the revenues and operating
results of the combined company.
Share Ownership of REMEC By Management. As of May 31, 1996, three current
officers and directors of REMEC, Ronald E. Ragland, Denny Morgan and Jack A.
Giles, own approximately 13.5%, 4.3% and 3.1%, respectively, of the outstanding
REMEC Common Stock and are among the largest shareholders of REMEC.
Additionally, as of May 31, 1996 REMEC's executive officers beneficially own
approximately 23.8% of the outstanding shares of the REMEC Common Stock and
comprise four of the nine members of the Board of Directors. As a result, such
persons have the ability to exercise influence over significant matters
regarding REMEC. Such a high level of influence may have a significant effect in
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of REMEC. See "Information
Concerning REMEC -- Principal Shareholders."
Potential Volatility of Stock Prices. The market price of the shares of
REMEC Common Stock, like the stock prices of many technology companies, may be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to such factors as actual or
anticipated operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new
products or new contracts by REMEC, its competitors or their customers,
government regulatory action, developments with respect to wireless
telecommunications, general market conditions and other factors. In addition,
the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the stocks of
technology companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating
performance of particular companies. The market price of REMEC Common Stock has
been volatile and, upon completion of the Merger, the market price of REMEC
Common Stock may continue to be highly volatile.
Additionally, the price of REMEC Common Stock following the Merger will be
sensitive to the earnings and cash flow of Magnum and REMEC and to variances in
such numbers from public projections made by analysts following the business and
stock of REMEC. No assurances can be given that the consolidated operations of
Magnum and REMEC will be profitable following the Merger.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Sales of substantial amounts of shares in
the public market or the prospect of such sales could adversely affect the
market price of the REMEC Common Stock. Of the 7,802,979 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of May 31, 1996, 4,015,439 are subject to lock-up agreements
pursuant to which the holders of such shares have agreed not to sell or
otherwise dispose of such shares on or before July 30, 1996, without the prior
written consent of Needham & Company, Inc. After July 30, 1996, such shares may
be sold in the public market subject to limitations imposed by the Rules and
Regulations of the SEC. REMEC has filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the sale of
1,000,000 shares of REMEC Common Stock reserved for issuance under REMEC's
Equity Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan and including
approximately 6,903 outstanding options that will be assumed by REMEC in
connection with the Merger.
As a result of Merger, REMEC will issue approximately 1,081,486 additional
shares of REMEC Common Stock. All such additional shares will, subject to resale
restrictions imposed by Rule 145, be freely tradeable shortly following the
Merger. See "Terms of the Merger -- Affiliates' Restrictions on Sale of Stock."
Sales of REMEC Common Stock currently subject to lock-up, issuable upon exercise
of stock options or issuable in the Merger may cause substantial fluctuations in
the price of REMEC Common Stock over short time periods.

<PAGE> 19
Risks Associated With Entering Commercial Wireless Telecommunications
Market. Historically, REMEC's and to a lesser extent Magnum's business has been
focused on the defense market. REMEC believes that its future growth depends on
its success in the commercial wireless telecommunications market, a market in
which it has only recently begun to compete. REMEC believes that while the
technologies used in the defense and commercial industries are very similar, the
two industries differ significantly in terms of the customer base, manufacturing
requirements and lead times, the need to expend substantial resources for
research and development without the assurance of reimbursement or recovery of
those costs, and credit risks with customers. As a result, REMEC is subject to
risks inherent in the operation of a new business enterprise, including risks
associated with attracting and servicing a new customer base, manufacturing
products in a cost effective and profitable manner, managing the expansion of a
business operation and attracting and retaining qualified engineering,
manufacturing and marketing personnel with industry experience. For example,
REMEC believes that microwave engineers with the skills necessary to develop
products for the wireless telecommunications market currently are in high demand
and that REMEC may not be able to attract sufficient engineering expertise.
There can be no assurance that REMEC will be successful in the commercial
wireless telecommunications market or that the deployment of resources to that
market will not have a material adverse effect on REMEC's defense business.
Reliance on P-COM; Customer Concentration and Exclusivity. As of May 5,
1996, one customer of REMEC, P-COM, accounted for 32% of total backlog and 16%
of backlog scheduled for shipment in the last three quarters of fiscal year
ending January 31, 1997. P-COM, which produces point-to-point millimeter wave
radio systems for use in wireless telecommunications applications, was founded
in August 1991 and began commercial shipment of its products in October 1993.
P-COM experiences intense competition worldwide from a number of leading
telecommunications companies, most of which have substantially greater installed
bases, financial resources and other capabilities than P-COM, and is subject to
the risks inherent in the operation of a new business enterprise. The agreement
provides that all of the units will be delivered by June 1998. REMEC has agreed
to sell the products which are the subject of the agreement with P-COM
exclusively to P-COM and not to compete with P-COM in the sale of point-to-point
radios under conditions applicable to both parties. In April 1996, REMEC
received orders from STM Wireless, Inc. ("STM") for $20.0 million for the design
and manufacture of C-Band VSAT equipment. Aside from P-COM, REMEC derives
significant revenues from a limited group of customers, including STM Wireless,
Inc., TRW Inc., Hughes Aircraft Company, Inc. ("Hughes Aircraft"), Westinghouse
Electric Corporation ("Westinghouse"), Loral Corporation, GEC-Marconi Aerospace
Inc. ("GEC-Marconi"), Texas Instruments and Lockheed-Martin Corporation. REMEC
anticipates that it will continue to sell products to a relatively small group
of customers. As a result, any cancellation, reduction or delay in orders by or
shipments to P-COM, or any other significant customer, as a result of
manufacturing or supply difficulties or otherwise, or the inability of any
customer to finance its purchases of REMEC's products would materially adversely
affect REMEC's business, financial condition and results of operations. REMEC
has granted P-COM exclusivity for certain products and expects that in order to
enter into other significant relationships in the wireless telecommunications
industry customers will either expressly or implicitly require exclusivity. In
entering into such exclusive arrangements, REMEC will have to forego
opportunities to supply products to competing companies. If REMEC enters into
exclusive relationships with customers who prove to be unsuccessful, REMEC may
be materially adversely affected and REMEC may be unable then to establish
relationships with the industry leaders. There can be no assurance that REMEC
will be able to locate, or negotiate acceptable arrangements with other
significant customers or that its current or future arrangements with other
significant customers will continue or will be successful. See "REMEC's
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Information Concerning REMEC -- Customers."
For the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996, two customers of Magnum accounted
for more than 10% of Magnum's revenues (Harris-Farinon, 18.5% and Alcatel
Network Systems, 12.7%). In fiscal 1995, two customers accounted for more than
10% of Magnum's revenues, Harris-Farinon, which accounted for 30.7% of the
revenues and Boeing Aerospace, which accounted for 11.4%. No customer accounted
for more than 10% of backlog at March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995. Loss of these
customers or a material reduction or delay in orders or shipments to these or
other significant customers could have a material adverse effect on Magnum's
business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Information
Concerning Magnum -- Customers."

<PAGE> 20
Uncertainty of Emerging Markets in Wireless Telecommunications. A number
of the commercial markets for REMEC's and Magnum's products in the wireless
telecommunications area have only recently begun to develop. Because these
markets are relatively new, it is difficult to predict the rate at which these
markets will grow, if at all. Existing or potential wireless telecommunications
market applications for REMEC's and Magnum's products may fail to develop or may
erode for many different reasons, including insufficient growth to support
expensive infrastructure equipment, insufficient consumer demand for wireless
products or services because of pricing or otherwise, or real or perceived
security risks associated with wireless communications. If the markets for
REMEC's and Magnum's products in commercial wireless telecommunications fail to
grow, or grow more slowly than anticipated, REMEC's and Magnum's business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected. See "Information Concerning REMEC -- Customers."
Dependence on Defense Market. A substantial portion of REMEC's and
Magnum's sales has been to the defense market. Sales by REMEC for defense
applications constituted approximately 96%, 92% and 88% of net sales for the
years ended January 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and 69% of net sales
for the fiscal quarter ended May 5, 1996. As of May 5, 1996, defense orders
account for 48% of total backlog and 66% of REMEC's backlog scheduled for
shipment in the last three quarters of fiscal year ending January 31, 1997.
Magnum's orders for defense applications constituted approximately 36%, 32% and
36% of total orders for the years ended April 1, 1994, March 31, 1995 and March
29, 1996, respectively. As of March 29, 1996, defense orders accounted for 49%
of Magnum's backlog. As a result, REMEC's and Magnum's sales could be materially
adversely impacted by a decrease in defense spending by the United States
government because of defense spending cuts, general budgetary constraints or
otherwise. The United States defense budget has recently been reduced and may be
further reduced. Fewer available defense industry production programs, coupled
with continued pricing pressure on follow-on orders for programs on which REMEC
participates, caused sales of REMEC's core defense products -- MFMs and
components for microwave systems -- to decline from $35.3 million in the year
ended January 31, 1994 to $30.5 million in the year ended January 31, 1995 to
$26.9 million for the year ended January 31, 1996 and $5.7 million for the
fiscal quarter ended May 5, 1996 (compared with $8.3 million for the comparable
period in the prior fiscal year). REMEC and Magnum expect to continue to derive
a substantial portion of their revenues from these business segments and to
develop microwave products for defense applications. Failure of REMEC and Magnum
to replace sales attributable to a significant defense program or contract at
the end of that program or contract, whether due to cancellation, spending cuts,
budgetary constraints or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect upon
REMEC's and Magnum's business, operating results and financial condition in
subsequent periods. In addition, a large portion of REMEC's and Magnum's
expenses are fixed and difficult to reduce, thus magnifying the material adverse
effect of any revenue shortfall. Also, defense contracts frequently contain
provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions, such as
provisions permitting the cancellation of a contract if funding for a program is
reduced or canceled. For example, the government terminated a large defense
program in December 1992 for which REMEC had been supplying in excess of $4
million of products on an annual basis. See "REMEC's Management Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Loss and Potential Loss of Major Customers. Net revenues of Magnum
decreased 17% to $9.36 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996 as
compared with $11.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995. This
included a $2.3 million permanent reduction in cavity oscillator shipments due
to obsolescence to Harris-Farinon, Magnum's single largest customer. The loss of
business with other customers of REMEC or Magnum could occur in the future due
to a variety of factors, including obsolescence.
Risks of Cost Overruns and Product Non-performance. REMEC's customers
establish demanding specifications for product performance, reliability and
cost. REMEC's contract with P-COM to produce microwave front ends for
point-to-point radios, and its contract with STM to produce C-Band VSAT
equipment, and a significant portion of REMEC's defense and commercial contracts
are firm fixed-price ("FFP") contracts that provide for a predetermined fixed
price for stipulated products, regardless of the costs incurred. REMEC has made
pricing commitments to P-COM and to other customers in anticipation of achieving
more cost effective product designs and introducing more widespread
manufacturing automation. A
11
<PAGE> 21
substantial portion of the P-COM backlog involves the re-design by REMEC of the
entire point-to-point radio front end. REMEC faces the risk of experiencing cost
overruns or order cancellation if it fails to achieve forecasted product design
and manufacturing efficiencies or if products cost more to produce because of
increased cost of materials, components or labor or otherwise. Manufacture of
REMEC's products is an extremely complex process. REMEC has in the past
experienced cost overruns on FFP contracts. There can be no assurance that cost
overruns or problems with performance or reliability of REMEC products will not
occur in the future. Any such cost overruns or performance problems may have a
material adverse effect on REMEC's business, operating results and financial
condition.
The manufacture of Magnum's products also involves complex processes.
Problems with the manufacturing process or with performance or reliability of
Magnum's products could have a material adverse effect on Magnum's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Loss of Investment in Design and Engineering. Magnum often makes
significant investments in design and engineering of new products for customers
without any commitment by the customer for the future purchase of such products.
Failure to receive orders has an adverse effect on results of operations.
Furthermore, if Magnum does not receive a follow-on order for the manufacture of
such products, Magnum will not recover its investment.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Results. REMEC's and Magnum's quarterly results
have in the past been, and will continue to be, subject to significant
variations due to a number of factors, any one of which could substantially
affect REMEC's and Magnum's results of operations for any particular fiscal
quarter. In particular, quarterly results of operations can vary due to the
timing, cancellation or rescheduling of customer orders and shipments, the
pricing and mix of products sold, new product introductions by REMEC and Magnum,
REMEC's and Magnum's ability to obtain components and sub-assemblies from
contract manufacturers and suppliers, and variations in manufacturing
efficiencies. In addition, with the decline in available defense industry
production programs, REMEC has placed more reliance on development contracts as
a source of defense revenues, resulting in an increased susceptibility to
fluctuations due to an increase in revenues from fixed price development
contracts as a percentage of total revenues. Development contracts carry reduced
gross margins and are typically for minimal hardware deliveries and sporadic
non-hardware revenue items which results in fluctuating sales and gross margins.
Accordingly, REMEC's and Magnum's performance in any one fiscal quarter is not
necessarily indicative of financial trends or future performance. See "REMEC's
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
Backlog. REMEC's and Magnum's backlog is subject to fluctuations and is
not necessarily indicative of future sales. There can be no assurance that
current backlog will necessarily lead to sales in any future period. REMEC's
backlog as of May 5, 1996 was approximately $119.6 million, approximately 52% of
which was attributable to commercial customers and approximately 48% of which
was attributable to defense customers. Magnum's backlog at March 29, 1996 was
approximately $3.4 million, approximately 51% of which was attributable to
commercial customers and approximately 49% of which was attributable to defense
customers. A substantial amount of REMEC's and Magnum's backlog can be canceled
at any time without penalty, except, in some cases, the recovery of actual
committed costs and profit on work performed up to the date of cancellation.
Cancellations of pending purchase orders or termination or reductions of
purchase orders in progress from customers of REMEC or Magnum could have a
material adverse effect on REMEC's business, operating results and financial
condition. See "REMEC's Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Information Concerning
REMEC -- Backlog" and "Information Concerning Magnum -- Backlog."
Necessity of Implementing High Volume Manufacturing. Historically, the
volume of REMEC's production requirements in the defense market was not
sufficient to justify the widespread implementation of automated manufacturing
processes. Fulfillment of substantial orders in the wireless telecommunications
industry will require a significant increase in REMEC's manufacturing capacity.
For example, REMEC plans to introduce more automated manufacturing processes in
order to fulfill its obligations to P-COM, some of which are specialized
processes that must be developed. There can be no assurance that REMEC will be
able to implement the desired automated manufacturing processes on a timely
basis or at all or that, if
12
<PAGE> 22
implemented, such manufacturing processes will be sufficient to fulfill REMEC's
current and future production commitments in a cost effective manner or that
REMEC will obtain a sufficient amount of high volume orders to absorb the
capital costs incurred. See "Information Concerning REMEC -- Manufacturing."
Competition. The markets for REMEC's and Magnum's products are extremely
competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change, new product
development, product obsolescence and evolving industry standards. In addition,
price competition is intense and significant price erosion generally occurs over
the life of a product. REMEC and Magnum face some competition from component
manufacturers who have integration capabilities, but believe that their primary
competition is from the captive manufacturing operations of large wireless
telecommunications OEMs (including all of the major telecommunications equipment
providers) and defense prime contractors who are responsible for a substantial
majority of the present worldwide production of MFMs. REMEC's and Magnum's
future success is dependent upon the extent to which these OEMs and defense
prime contractors elect to purchase from outside sources rather than manufacture
their own microwave MFMs and components. Magnum also faces competition from
semiconductor manufacturers which could integrate the type of components
supplied by Magnum into integrated circuits if the demand were sufficient to
justify the design and development expense. REMEC's and Magnum's customers and
large manufacturers of microwave transmission equipment could also elect to
enter into the non-captive market for microwave products and compete directly
with REMEC and Magnum. Many of REMEC's and Magnum's current and potential
competitors have substantially greater technical, financial, marketing,
distribution and other resources than REMEC and Magnum and have greater name
recognition and market acceptance of their products and technologies. No
assurance can be given that REMEC's and Magnum's competitors will not develop
new technologies or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products
that will offer superior price or performance features or that new products or
technologies will not render obsolete the products of REMEC's and Magnum's
customers. For example, innovations such as a wireless telephone system
utilizing satellites instead of land-based base stations or a device that
integrates microwave functionality could significantly reduce the potential
market for REMEC's products. REMEC and Magnum believe that to remain competitive
in the future they will need to invest significant financial resources in
research and development. See "Information Concerning REMEC -- Competition" and
"Information Concerning Magnum -- Competition."
Declining Average Selling Prices. REMEC's and Magnum's customers are under
continuous pressure to reduce prices and, therefore, REMEC and Magnum expect to
continue to experience downward pricing pressure on their products. REMEC's and
Magnum's customers frequently negotiate supply arrangements well in advance of
delivery dates, requiring REMEC and Magnum to commit to price reductions before
it is determined that assumed cost reductions can be achieved. To offset
declining average sales prices, REMEC and Magnum believe that they must achieve
manufacturing cost reductions and obtain orders for higher volume products. If
they are unable to offset declining average selling prices, gross margins will
decline, and such decline will have a material adverse effect on REMEC's and
Magnum's business, financial condition and results of operations. See "REMEC's
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Magnum's Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
Environmental Regulations and Risks. REMEC and Magnum are subject to a
variety of local, state and federal governmental regulations relating to the
storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, manufacture and disposal of
toxic or other hazardous substances used to manufacture their products. The
failure to comply with current or future regulations could result in the
imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of
manufacturing processes or cessation of operations.
News reports have asserted that power levels associated with hand held
cellular telephones and infrastructure equipment may pose certain health risks.
If it were determined or perceived that electromagnetic waves carried through
wireless telecommunications equipment create a significant health risk, the
market for these products could be materially adversely affected, which could
have a material adverse effect on REMEC's business, financial condition and
results of operations. Moreover, if wireless telecommunications systems or other
systems or devices that rely on or incorporate REMEC's products are determined
or alleged
13
<PAGE> 23
to create a significant health risk, REMEC could be named as a defendant, and
held liable, in product liability lawsuits commenced by individuals alleging
that REMEC's products harmed them, which could have a material adverse effect on
REMEC's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government Regulations. REMEC's and certain of Magnum's products are
incorporated into wireless telecommunications systems that are subject to
regulation domestically by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and
internationally by other government agencies. Although the equipment operators
and not REMEC or Magnum are responsible for compliance with such regulations,
regulatory changes, including changes in the allocation of available frequency
spectrum, could materially adversely affect REMEC's and Magnum's operations by
restricting development efforts by REMEC's or Magnum's customers, making current
products obsolete or increasing the opportunity for additional competition.
Changes in, or the failure by REMEC or Magnum to manufacture products in
compliance with, applicable domestic and international regulations could have a
material adverse effect on REMEC's and Magnum's business, financial condition
and results of operations. In addition, the increasing demand for wireless
telecommunications has exerted pressure on regulatory bodies worldwide to adopt
new standards for such products, generally following extensive investigation of
and deliberation over competing technologies. The delays inherent in this
governmental approval process have in the past caused and may in the future
cause the cancellation, postponement or rescheduling of the installation of
communications systems by REMEC's and Magnum's customers, which in turn may have
a material adverse effect on the sale of products by REMEC or Magnum to such
customers. See "Information Concerning REMEC -- Government Regulations."
Because of their participation in the defense industry, REMEC and Magnum
are subject to audit from time to time for compliance with government
regulations by various agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency,
the Defense Investigative Service and the Office of Federal Control Compliance
Programs. An adverse finding in any such audit could adversely affect REMEC's
and Magnum's ability to compete for and obtain future defense business.
Dependence on Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers. REMEC and Magnum rely
on contract manufacturers and suppliers, in some cases sole suppliers or limited
groups of suppliers, to provide services and materials necessary for the
manufacture of products. Certain ceramic low drift substrates (supplied by NTK
of Japan and Alpha Industries) and certain semiconductors (supplied by Alpha
Industries, MaCom, MWT and others) used by REMEC are sole source items and would
require significant effort, time or design changes to develop alternate sources.
REMEC is also dependent on P-COM to supply it with certain modules necessary for
the production of microwave front ends for point-to-point radios for P-COM.
Certain components used in Magnum's VCO products (supplied by Alpha Industries,
Loral and Micrometrics) are sole source items. REMEC's and Magnum's reliance on
contract manufacturers and on sole suppliers involves several risks, including a
potential inability to obtain critical materials or services and reduced control
over production costs, delivery schedules, reliability and quality of components
or assemblies. Any inability to obtain timely deliveries of acceptable quality,
or any other circumstance that would require REMEC or Magnum to seek alternative
contract manufacturers or suppliers, could delay their ability to deliver
products to customers, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on
their business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in
the event that costs for REMEC's contract manufacturers or suppliers increase,
REMEC may suffer losses due to an inability to recover such cost increases under
fixed price production commitments to its customers. See "Information Concerning
REMEC -- Manufacturing" and "Information Concerning Magnum -- Manufacturing and
Design."
Limitation on Protection of Proprietary Technology; Risk of Third Party
Claims. REMEC and Magnum do not presently hold any patents applicable to their
products. In order to protect their intellectual property rights, REMEC and
Magnum rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and
employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, as well as limiting access to
and distribution of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by REMEC and Magnum to protect their intellectual property rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or to preclude
competitors from independently developing such technology. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that, in the future, third parties will not assert
infringement claims against REMEC or Magnum or with respect to their products
for which REMEC or Magnum has indemnified certain of their customers. Asserting
14
<PAGE> 24
REMEC's or Magnum's rights or defending against third party claims could involve
substantial costs and diversion of resources, thus materially and adversely
affecting their business, financial condition and results of operations. In the
event a third party were successful in a claim that one of REMEC's or Magnum's
products infringed its proprietary rights, REMEC or Magnum may have to pay
substantial royalties or damages, remove that product from the marketplace or
expend substantial amounts in order to modify the product so that it no longer
infringes such proprietary rights, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on REMEC's or Magnum's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Information Concerning REMEC -- Intellectual Property" and
"Information Concerning Magnum -- Intellectual Property."
Dependence on Key Personnel. REMEC and Magnum are highly dependent on the
continued service of, and on their ability to attract and retain, qualified
engineering, management, manufacturing, quality assurance, marketing and support
personnel. REMEC and Magnum (except in the case of Joseph T. Lee) do not
maintain key man life insurance on their key personnel and such personnel
generally do not have employment or non-competition agreements with REMEC or
Magnum. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance
that REMEC or Magnum will be successful in attracting or retaining such
personnel. For example, REMEC believes that microwave engineers with the skills
necessary to develop products for the wireless telecommunications market
currently are in high demand and that REMEC may not be able to attract
sufficient engineering expertise. See "Information Concerning
REMEC -- Employees" and "-- Executive Officers and Directors."

THE MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER
Mr. Ragland, the Chief Executive Officer of REMEC, and Joseph Lee, the
Chief Executive Officer of Magnum, have known each other for years and from time
to time have had conversations regarding the possibility of combining the two
companies. While both companies were privately held Magnum believed that it was
preferable to seek growth, primarily through strategic acquisitions as an
independent entity. However, the microwave business generally has been
characterized over the last several years by increasing price competition,
reductions in military spending, requirements by commercial customers for
investment in non-recoverable engineering and increasing research and
development expenditures for new products. In seeking acquisitions, Magnum was
impacted by, among other things, the fact that since its stock was not publicly
traded. Because of its relative size, the availability of cash resources and its
inability to readily use stock for acquisition purposes, Magnum was at a
disadvantage in seeking larger acquisition opportunities.
Prior to the public offering of REMEC's Common Stock, REMEC either obtained
components for use in its products from third parties or developed such
components internally. REMEC, however, has for some time desired to gain
additional component development and manufacturing capabilities to augment its
existing products and to reduce reliance on thirdparty suppliers. Magnum is
thought to be a particularly attractive source of such components and combining
with Magnum could help achieve REMEC's goal of establishing superior component
development and manufacturing capabilities.
Following REMEC's public offering in February 1996, Mr. Lee and Mr. Ragland
commenced informal discussions regarding a possible combination of Magnum and
REMEC. The following summarizes the relevant events leading up to signing of the
Merger Agreement.
On February 16, 1996, Mr. Ragland and Jack Giles, Executive Vice President
of REMEC, met with Mr. Lee to discuss the possibility of combining REMEC and
Magnum. The parties tentatively agreed that such a combination could be mutually
beneficial to REMEC, Magnum and their shareholders and agreed to continue
discussions at a later date.
On March 1, 1996, Messrs. Ragland and Lee met with John Michaelson of
Needham & Company, Inc., REMEC's principal underwriters. Mr. Michaelson
concurred that, depending upon the specific terms of any proposed combination of
REMEC and Magnum, such a combination could increase value to shareholders and
could increase the attractiveness of REMEC to potential investors. After this
meeting, Messrs. Ragland and Lee decided to continue their discussions at a
later date and to begin to explore more specific alternatives to combining REMEC
and Magnum. The decision to continue discussions was based upon independent
evaluations performed by Messrs. Ragland and Lee and the conversation with Mr.
Michaelson was not considered a material factor in pursuing a business
combination. Needham & Company, Inc. was not engaged to perform investment
banking services in the transaction, and will receive no fees in connection with
the Merger.
On March 15, 1996, Mr. Lee visited the offices of REMEC to become more
familiar with the business and operations of REMEC and to meet management
personnel of REMEC. Mr. Lee decided that the operations of REMEC could be
compatible with Magnum's operations.
On April 4, 1996, Messrs. Ragland and Lee met and further discussed a
possible combination and various strategies to accomplish a combination that
would be beneficial to both REMEC, Magnum and their shareholders. Although the
specific terms of a potential combination were not discussed, the parties agreed
to further evaluate a potential combination and, if such further evaluation was
favorable, to meet at a later date to discuss more specific terms of a potential
combination.
On April 24, 1996, Messrs. Ragland and Lee had a telephone conversation to
discuss general terms of a proposed combination of REMEC and Magnum, including
the amount and form of consideration to be provided to Magnum shareholders. From
April 24 to 30, 1996, Messrs. Ragland and Lee held several additional telephone
conversations to discuss with specificity mutually beneficial terms of a
proposed combination, including a range of consideration in the merger, role of
Magnum management in the combined company and similar issues.
17
<PAGE> 27
After further consideration of a proposed combination by senior management
of REMEC, on April 30, 1996, REMEC orally presented a formal proposal to Magnum
outlining the general terms of a proposed combination. On April 30, 1996 the
Board of Magnum met and approved the terms of REMEC's proposal and authorized
Mr. Lee to negotiate more specific terms with REMEC.
On May 1, 1996, Messrs. Ragland and Lee further discussed the terms of a
potential combination and agreed upon the essential terms of the Merger, pending
Board of Director approval of each company. The exchange ratio of shares of
REMEC Common Stock for Magnum Common Stock was determined by negotiation between
Messrs. Ragland and Lee.
On May 9, 1996, members of management of REMEC and Magnum met and REMEC
further evaluated informally pro forma financial information available to REMEC
and prepared by Magnum and to evaluate the attractiveness of a combination of
REMEC and Magnum from a business perspective. REMEC considered the following
financial projections of Magnum for fiscal year ending 1997 to be important:
revenues of $10,000,000; gross margin of $3,851,000; pre-tax income of
$1,338,000; and, net income of $796,000. After favorable results of these
evaluations (including an assessment of complementary technologies and products,
pro forma combined results of operations and potential dilution or accretion in
REMEC earnings per share) the Boards of Directors of REMEC and Magnum approved
the Merger on May 10 and 16, 1996, respectively.
No investment bankers were retained in connection with the Merger because
neither the REMEC nor the Magnum managements and Boards of Directors believed
they were necessary or would add significantly to the Merger. The Boards of
Directors of both companies believed they had appropriate information and skill
to evaluate the Merger and the services of an investment banker were therefore
not considered to be cost effective.
In preparation for the Merger, the Private Placement contemplates the
issuance of 2,800,000 shares of Magnum Common Stock approximately 10 days before
the Effective Date of the Merger. The Private Placement is being undertaken to
ensure the Merger is accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting. See "Terms of the Merger -- The Private Placement."
REASONS FOR THE MERGER
The REMEC and Magnum Boards believe that the combination of REMEC and
Magnum will bring together for the benefit of their shareholders the
complementary strengths of their organizations. Both REMEC and Magnum provide,
among others, microwave based products to the defense and commercial wireless
communications industry, and the Merger will allow the combined company to
strengthen and broaden its microwave product lines. The combined company also
will increase in size, which the Boards believe will enhance the combined
company's profile with customers and with the investment community.
During the Merger discussions, both business and financial reasons for the
Merger were reviewed extensively. The business factors considered were each
company's products, reputation, research and development capabilities,
manufacturing facilities, sale activities and customer bases, and operating
efficiencies that may be derived from the combination of the businesses. The
financial factors considered were the operating histories, 1996 and 1997
operating plans and balance sheets of the two companies. The prospects of the
combined company are subject to a number of risks which were considered by the
Boards of Directors. See "Risk Factors."
REMEC: At its May 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board of Directors of REMEC
approved the Merger. The REMEC Board considered the risks associated with
combining the two companies in evaluating the Merger. Those risks included the
financial strength of Magnum, stability of Magnum's business and the potential
costs and difficulties associated with combining the operations of REMEC and
Magnum. The REMEC Board decided that the potential benefits of the Merger to
REMEC and its shareholders outweighed these risks. After a presentation by
management of REMEC, the Board determined that the consideration to be provided
to Magnum shareholders is fair and authorized the Merger for the following
reasons:
1. The companies have complementary product lines and potential
long-term benefits may result from the combination of their businesses. The
REMEC Board believes that Magnum's components, particularly its oscillators
and mixers, are highly regarded in the microwave industry and such
18
<PAGE> 28
components will augment REMEC's ability to produce leading microwave
multi-function modules ("MFMs").
2. Both companies have performed well over the past few years. See
"REMEC Selected Financial Data" and "Magnum Selected Financial Data." The
historical operating performance of Magnum and REMEC's core defense
products, MFMs and components for microwave transmission systems has been
relatively parallel over the past three years, although it has varied from
period to period as a reflection of timing of customer orders. See "REMEC's
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and "Magnum's Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations." The REMEC Board also noted the
strength of Magnum's balance sheet, as well as the synergies to be obtained
from combining the companies' product lines and operations.
3. The companies have managerial and technical strengths. The REMEC
Board believes that each company is a strong competitor on the basis of
managerial talent and technical competence. The REMEC Board believes that
the Merger will allow the combined company to benefit from combining these
strengths from both companies. The REMEC Board noted in particular that Mr.
Lee, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Magnum, will bring substantial and valuable industry expertise to the
combined company as a Board member of REMEC and officer of Magnum and REMEC
following the Merger.
4. REMEC shareholders may benefit from the Merger. Although REMEC does
not need to acquire another business to continue its operations, the REMEC
Board believes that it would be in the interest of REMEC to acquire
additional expertise in producing microwave components, particularly
components such as oscillators and mixers, if such technology can be
acquired in a prudent manner. Magnum is a company long known to REMEC as
having a strong reputation in the industry, good products that would
complement REMEC's MFMs, and is in a strong financial position. Customers
are increasingly requiring a broad capability in component technology to be
incorporated in ever more complex MFMs. The acquisition of Magnum's
component expertise coupled with REMEC's existing capabilities will enable
REMEC to be more responsive to these customer requirements. Thus, the REMEC
Board believes that the Merger presents an opportunity for REMEC to grow by
strengthening its MFM capabilities with Magnum's reputable components that
are well regarded by its customers, and that this growth will enhance REMEC
reputation with its customers and with the investment community.
Approximately two-thirds of Magnum's business is commercial in nature which
will assist REMEC's diversification from the defense industry.
5. REMEC's Board believes that combining the two companies at the
Exchange Ratio is fair to REMEC from a financial point of view and that
issuance of the REMEC Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement would result in a minimum dilutive effect to REMEC shareholders.
The REMEC Board also considered the potential accretive effect on earnings
per share that could result from the Merger. The potential ownership
dilution to REMEC shareholders was considered to be a negative factor but
was outweighed by the other favorable reasons for the Merger.
The REMEC Board considered the above in light of its knowledge of the
business and operations of REMEC, information presented by REMEC management, and
its business judgment. In view of the number and complexity of factors
considered, the REMEC Board did not assign a relative weight to any of the
factors considered. However, the REMEC Board placed special emphasis on its
belief in the complementary business, financial and management strengths of
REMEC and Magnum, its view that those complementary strengths would enhance the
value of the combined company in the eyes of its customers and the investment
community, and its view that the Exchange Ratio is fair to REMEC from a
financial point of view.
Magnum: On May 16, 1996, a meeting of the Magnum Board was held at which
the final draft of the Merger Agreement was reviewed and discussed. Following
the discussion the Magnum board concluded that the proposed Merger was fair and
in the best interests of Magnum and its shareholders and unanimously approved
the Merger Agreement.
19
<PAGE> 29
In reaching its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and to
recommend approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Magnum, the
Magnum Board considered a number of factors, including the factors described
below. In light of the variety of factors considered in its evaluation of the
Merger, the Magnum Board did not find it practical to and did not quantify or
otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the specific factors considered
in reaching its determination.
1. The Magnum Board considered the liquidity offered by the proposed
Merger to Magnum's shareholders. The Magnum Board believed that it was
unlikely that Magnum would be able to make a public offering of its stock
in the foreseeable future and that the Merger offered shareholders the
opportunity to own a publicly traded stock of a significantly larger
business enterprise. In addition, the Magnum Board considered the tax-free
nature of the Merger, which will permit Magnum shareholders to retain their
investment without immediate taxation of any gain.
2. The Magnum Board considered Magnum's growth opportunities as an
independent company compared with the growth opportunities available to a
publicly traded and larger company such as REMEC. The Magnum Board believed
that the acquisition opportunities available to a larger organization with
a publicly traded stock provided significant benefits in attracting better
and more sizable acquisition candidates.
3. The Magnum Board considered general business and competitive
conditions in the industry. The Magnum Board believed that the competitive
conditions in the industry would remain more difficult for smaller
companies as a result, among other things, of the necessity for greater
investment in research and development. The combination with REMEC would
give the combined company greater leverage and visibility in dealing with
customers and suppliers.
4. The Magnum Board considered the strategic and operating synergies,
as well as other benefits, that could result from the integration of Magnum
and REMEC. For example, the Magnum Board believed that Magnum's ability to
recruit and retain engineers would be enhanced by the Merger, and that
Magnum's marketing and sales group would benefit from the resources of
REMEC's marketing and sales group. For example, Magnum's marketing and
sales group consists of about 6 employees while REMEC's group consists of
32 employees.
5. The Magnum Board considered the opportunities available from
REMEC's experience in the wireless market and the potential for creating a
broader line of products, particularly given the complementary nature of
the two companies' product lines. The Magnum Board believed that the Merger
would permit Magnum to leverage its technology with that of REMEC to create
cross-selling and new product opportunities.
6. The Magnum Board took the following steps in determining that the
consideration to be received by the Magnum shareholders is fair. The Magnum
Board considered the terms of the proposed offer, including the valuation
of Magnum, particularly as compared with the repurchase by Magnum of a
number of shares of its outstanding stock during January 1996 at a price of
$.20 per share. Based on the $18.50 price per share of REMEC Common Stock
on May 16, 1996, the equivalent $.87 per share of Magnum Common Stock was
considered a favorable premium to the Magnum shareholders. The Board also
considered an internal pro forma analysis of return on equity of Magnum as
an independent company based on certain assumptions compared with a similar
analysis of REMEC and Magnum combined. The Magnum Board also considered the
strong financial performance of REMEC in recent years, its price/earnings
ratio and balanced these factors against the risks associated with the
potential volatility of the REMEC Common Stock. The Magnum Board also
considered and felt comfortable with REMEC's strategic direction and the
added value that Magnum would contribute to the combined company. The
Magnum Board also considered its obligations under an agreement among
Magnum and certain of its shareholders which might have limited Magnum's
growth opportunities. Pursuant to such agreement, the Magnum Board would be
obligated to adopt the cash dividend policy described below no later than
July 1, 1997, unless its sold shares to the public pursuant to a public
offering under the Securities Act of 1933, or entered into a transaction
such as the Merger. The dividend policy set forth in the agreement -- which
subject to Chapter 5 of the General Corporation Law of California, Magnum
meeting certain financial
20
<PAGE> 30
tests, covenants in financing agreements and the discretion of the Magnum
Board -- provides for the payment of cash dividends to the holders of
Magnum Common Stock starting at 15% of Magnum's after-tax profit in the
first fiscal year of the policy's implementation, and increases 5% per year
up to a maximum of 40% for any given year. The agreement will terminate
upon the conclusion of the Merger.
On May 16, 1996, when the Board of Directors of Magnum approved the Merger,
the REMEC Common Stock was trading in the range of $18 per share. While
recognizing that REMEC Common Stock could be volatile, Magnum's Board believed
that the $.87 per share equivalent value of Magnum Common Stock provided a
reasonable premium even if there were a reduction in the price of REMEC Common
Stock. Since then, REMEC Common Stock has traded at a price as low as $11.375
per share on July 24, 1996 (at approximately a $.50 Magnum Common Stock per
share equivalent). On July 29, 1996, the Magnum Board met and considered, among
other things, the increased volatility of REMEC Common Stock, and the likelihood
of continued volatility in light of REMEC Common Stock's higher relative
price/earnings ratio compared to comparable companies, and the imminent release,
on July 31, 1996, of resale limitations on 4,015,439 shares of REMEC Common
Stock. See "Risk Factors -- Potential Volatility of Stock Prices" and "Risk
Factors -- Shares Eligible for Future Sale." At the July 29, 1996 meeting,
primarily for the reasons set forth in one through six above, the Magnum Board
determined that the Merger is still in the best interests of Magnum
shareholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH COMPANY BELIEVES THAT THE MERGER IS FAIR TO
AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF SUCH COMPANY AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS. MAGNUM'S BOARD
OF DIRECTORS THEREFORE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THE MERGER.
MANAGEMENT AFTER THE MERGER
The Board of Directors of REMEC currently consists of Ronald Ragland, Denny
Morgan, Jack Giles, Errol Ekaireb, Andre Horn, Gary Luick, Jeffrey Nash, Thomas
A. Corcoran and William H. Gibbs. Approximately 30 days after the Merger, Joseph
Lee will be added to the Board of Directors of REMEC and will become an officer
of REMEC.
The officers of Magnum will not change as a result of the Merger. With the
exception of Joseph Lee, Chairman of the Board of Magnum, all members of the
current Board of Directors of Magnum will resign on the Effective Date.
MAGNUM STOCK OPTIONS
As of March 29, 1996, 319,178 shares of Magnum Common Stock were reserved
for issuance pursuant to Magnum's 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Magnum
Option Plan") in addition to which options to purchase a total of 147,000 shares
of Magnum Common Stock were outstanding (the "Outstanding Magnum Options"). The
terms of the Magnum Option Plan allow outstanding options to be assumed by a
successor company in a transaction such as the Merger. The Outstanding Magnum
Options will be assumed by REMEC upon consummation of the Merger. See "Terms of
the Merger -- Manner and Basis of Converting Shares and Outstanding Magnum
Options."
PRIOR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REMEC AND MAGNUM
In the past, Magnum has sold products to REMEC in occasional arms length
transactions.
TERMS OF THE MERGER
The detailed terms of, and conditions to, the Merger are contained in the
Agreement of Reorganization and the Agreement of Merger, copies of which are
attached to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendix A and Appendix B,
respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The statements made in this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement with respect to the terms of the Merger and related
transactions are qualified in their entirety by the text of those Agreements,
collectively referred to herein as the "Merger Agreement."
21
<PAGE> 31
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MERGER
The Merger Agreement provides for the Merger of RAC with and into Magnum,
with Magnum to be the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, Magnum
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of REMEC, RAC will cease to exist, each
issued and outstanding share of Magnum Common Stock will be converted into
.046959196 of a share of REMEC Common Stock (other than shares, if any, as to
which dissenters' rights have been exercised pursuant to California law).
It is anticipated that, if the Merger is approved at the Magnum Meeting and
all other conditions to the Merger have been fulfilled or waived, the Agreement
of Merger will be filed with the California Secretary of State immediately
following the Magnum Meeting at which time the Merger will become effective (the
"Effective Date"). See "Terms of the Merger -- Conditions to the Merger."
MANNER AND BASIS OF CONVERTING SHARES AND OUTSTANDING MAGNUM OPTIONS
As of the Effective Date of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share
of Magnum Common Stock (other than shares, if any, as to which dissenters'
rights have been exercised pursuant to California law) will be converted into
.046959196 of a share of REMEC Common Stock. No fractional shares of REMEC
Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. In lieu of fractional
shares, each Magnum shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional
share will receive cash equal to the arithmetic average of the closing sales
prices of REMEC Common Stock on the NNM for the five trading days immediately
preceding the Effective Date multiplied by the fraction of a shares of REMEC
Common Stock to which the shareholder would otherwise be entitled.
Based on the Exchange Ratio of .046959196 shares of REMEC Common Stock for
each share of Magnum Common Stock, and based on the $13.75 closing sale price of
REMEC Common Stock on July 29, 1996, each share of Magnum Common Stock will have
a market value of approximately $.65.
In addition, each Outstanding Magnum Option will be assumed by REMEC upon
consummation of the Merger. After such assumption, REMEC shall issue, upon any
partial or total exercise of any Outstanding Magnum Option, in lieu of shares of
Magnum Common Stock, the number of shares of REMEC Common Stock to which the
holder of the Outstanding Magnum Option would have been entitled at the
Effective Date had the holder exercised the Outstanding Magnum Option
immediately prior to the Effective Date. The price per share of REMEC Common
Stock to be paid upon the exercise of each Outstanding Magnum Option assumed by
REMEC shall be adjusted so that the exercising option holder shall pay the same
amount for exercising a given portion of the Outstanding Magnum Option assumed
by REMEC that would have been paid had that same portion of the Outstanding
Magnum Option been exercised before the Effective Date. Only whole shares of
REMEC Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of an Outstanding Magnum
Option. An Outstanding Magnum Option shall not be exercisable for a fractional
share unless it is exercised to the full extent of shares then subject to it, in
which case, in lieu of receiving any fractional share of REMEC Common Stock, the
holder of the option shall receive in cash the fair market value of the
fractional share of the date of exercise.
Based upon the number of outstanding shares of REMEC Common Stock on May
31, 1996 and Magnum Common Stock as of the Record Date, and assuming that: (i)
no Magnum or REMEC shareholders exercise dissenters' rights; and (ii) no
outstanding REMEC or Magnum options are exercised prior to the Merger,
approximately 8,884,465 shares of REMEC Common Stock will be outstanding as of
the Effective Date of the Merger, of which approximately 1,081,486 shares
(approximately 12.17% of the total), will be issued to the former holders of
Magnum Common Stock, including 131,486 shares to be issued pursuant to the
Private Placement. Joseph Lee will receive 506,187 shares and will be among the
largest shareholders of REMEC.
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Immediately after the Effective Date of the Merger, REMEC will cause to be
mailed or otherwise delivered to each Magnum shareholder of record a letter of
transmittal with instructions to be used by such
22
<PAGE> 32
shareholder in surrendering certificates that, prior to the Merger, represented
shares of Magnum Common Stock (the "Magnum Stock Certificates"). Promptly after
the Effective Date of the Merger, REMEC will notify the holders of Magnum
options of the procedures to be followed in connection with REMEC's assumption
of the Outstanding Magnum Options, which may include delivery of certain
documentation to REMEC.
Upon surrender of a Magnum Stock Certificate to REMEC, together with a duly
executed letter of transmittal, REMEC and First Interstate Bank of California,
REMEC's transfer agent, will arrange for the holder of such certificate to
receive in exchange therefor a certificate evidencing the number of shares of
REMEC Common Stock to which such holder of Magnum Common Stock is entitled plus
cash for any fractional share. In the event there has been a transfer of
ownership of shares of Magnum Common Stock that is not reflected on the transfer
records of Magnum, REMEC Common Stock may be delivered to a transferee if the
certificate representing such Magnum Common Stock is presented to REMEC,
together with the related letter of transmittal, and accompanied by all
documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any
applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.
Until a Magnum stock certificate has been surrendered to REMEC, each such
certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Date of the Merger
to represent the right to receive, upon such surrender, certificates for such
number of shares of REMEC Common Stock as the shareholder is entitled under the
Merger Agreement. After the Effective Date of the Merger, there will be no
further registration of transfers of Magnum Common Stock.
MAGNUM SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SURRENDER THEIR CERTIFICATES FOR EXCHANGE
PRIOR TO APPROVAL OF THE MERGER BY THE MAGNUM SHAREHOLDERS AND RECEIPT OF THE
TRANSMITTAL LETTER FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PRIOR TO THE MERGER
Under the Agreement of Reorganization, Magnum has agreed that it will carry
on its business in the ordinary and usual course and that it will not: (i)
declare or pay any dividend or distribution; (ii) adjust rates of compensation
to officers, directors, employees or consultants other than in accordance with
past practices; (iii) modify, rescind or waive any right under existing
contracts that could have a material adverse effect on the business of Magnum;
(iv) discharge or satisfy any lien or encumbrance, or pay any obligation or
liability other than current liabilities shown on Magnum's 1996 balance sheet
and current liabilities incurred since the date of Magnum's 1996 balance sheet
in the ordinary course of business; (v) mortgage, pledge, or impose any security
interest, claim, encumbrance or other restriction on any of Magnum's assets;

ordinary course of business; or (xii) enter into certain long-term contracts.
Prior to the Merger, Magnum will not conduct negotiations or discussions
with any other party regarding a possible acquisition of Magnum or of all or a
substantial part of its business or assets. Magnum has also agreed to promptly
advise REMEC in writing of any and all material events and developments
concerning its financial position, assets, liabilities, results of operations or
business or any of the items or matters covered by Magnum's representations and
warranties contained in the Agreement of Reorganization.
Each party to the Agreement of Reorganization has agreed to give prompt
notice to the other party as soon as practicable after it has actual knowledge
of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which would or would be
likely to cause either party's representations or warranties contained in the
Agreement of Reorganization to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect at
any time from the date hereof to the
23
<PAGE> 33
Effective Date, or (ii) any failure on its part or on the part of any of its
subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents (other
than persons or entities who are such employees, representatives or agents only

satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be
complied with or satisfied by such party under the Agreement of Reorganization.
Each party has the right to deliver to the other party a written disclosure
letter as to any matter of which it becomes aware following execution of the
Agreement of Reorganization which would constitute a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Agreement of Reorganization by such
party.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, each party to the Agreement
of Reorganization will keep confidential data, information or documents it
obtains from the other and will not disclose (other than to its attorneys,
accountants, advisors or prospective investors, who are themselves required to
keep such information confidential) prior to the Merger (or ever, if the Merger
does not occur) to any third party such data, information or documents obtained
from the other or from any director, officer, employee or agent of the other or
any data or documents prepared on the basis of such data, information or
documents except in each case for any data, information or document which: (i)
was or is in the public domain; (ii) was already known prior to its disclosure
by the other or (iii) is disclosed to a party by a third party that is not an
agent of the other.
In addition, each company has agreed to afford to the other reasonable
access to its corporate books and records, and to cause its accountants,
officers, directors and shareholders to cooperate with the other company in
making available all material information reasonably requested.

alone, by written notice, if the Merger has not taken place by August 31, 1996.
The Merger Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto at any time by
written approval of Magnum, RAC and REMEC.
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion sets forth the opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
LLP, counsel to Magnum ("Counsel"), as to the material anticipated federal
income tax consequences under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), to REMEC, Magnum and to Magnum shareholders who receive REMEC Common
Stock in exchange for Magnum Common Stock as a result of the Merger or who
receive payment for their shares upon exercise of their dissenters' rights or
payment for fractional shares. The discussion is based on the Code, Treasury
Regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, judicial decisions and
published administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS"), as in effect on the date hereof. Changes in or additions to
such rules, or new interpretations thereof, may have retroactive effect and
therefore could significantly affect the consequences described below. This
discussion does not deal with all aspects of federal taxation that may be
relevant to REMEC, Magnum or Magnum shareholders, nor does the discussion deal
with tax issues peculiar to certain types of taxpayers (including but not
limited to life insurance companies, S corporations, financial institutions,
tax-exempt organizations or retirement accounts and foreign taxpayers). No
aspect of foreign, state, local or estate and gift taxation is addressed.
Shareholders should note that Counsel's opinion is not binding on the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") and there can be no assurance that the IRS will take a
similar view with respect to the tax consequences described below. No ruling has
been or will be requested by REMEC or Magnum from the IRS on any tax matters
relating to the Merger.
SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
Consequences to REMEC and Magnum
The Merger will constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the
Code if carried out in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. By reason
of the Merger constituting a "reorganization," no gain or loss will be
recognized by REMEC, RAC or Magnum.
25
<PAGE> 35
Consequences to Magnum Shareholders
By virtue of the qualification of the Merger as a "reorganization" under
the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Magnum shareholders upon the
receipt in the Merger of REMEC Common Stock in exchange for their shares of
Magnum Common Stock.
The aggregate tax basis of the REMEC Common Stock received by each Magnum
shareholder, will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Magnum Common
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor reduced by any basis attributable to a
fractional share of REMEC Common Stock for which the shareholder receives cash.
The holding period for each share of REMEC Common Stock received by each
shareholder of Magnum in exchange for Magnum Common Stock will include the
period for which such shareholder held the Magnum Common Stock exchanged
therefor, provided such shareholder's Magnum Common Stock is held as a capital
asset at the Effective Date of the Merger.
Shareholders of Magnum who exercise dissenters' rights with respect to
their shares of Magnum Common Stock and who receive payment for such shares in
cash (see "Terms of the Merger -- Dissenters' Rights"), will recognize capital
gain or capital loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash
received and the shareholder's basis in such shares, provided that such shares
are a capital asset in the hands of such shareholder at the Effective Date of
the Merger. Such gain or loss will be "long-term" gain or loss if the shares
have a holding period of more than one year on the date of disposition.
A Magnum shareholder who receives a cash payment in lieu of a fractional
share of REMEC Common will be treated as if the fractional share were
distributed in the Merger and then redeemed by REMEC, and will recognize capital
gain or capital loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash
received and the shareholder's basis in the fractional share (which will be a
pro rata portion of the shareholder's basis in the Magnum Common Stock
surrendered in the Merger), provided such shareholder's Magnum Common Stock is
held as a capital asset at the Effective Date of the Merger.
The federal income tax consequences of the Merger discussed above are based
on the accuracy of certain representations set forth in the Merger Agreement
which, if untrue, could affect the discussions set forth herein. Counsel's
opinion is conditioned upon the accuracy of all the representations in the
Merger Agreement and in particular on the representations and shareholder
agreements (described in the next paragraph) with respect to the "continuity of
interest" requirement.
In order for the Merger to satisfy the continuity of interest requirement,
Magnum Shareholders must not, pursuant to a plan or intent existing at or prior
to the Effective Date of the Merger, dispose of an amount of REMEC Common Stock
to be received in the Merger (including dispositions through the exercise of
dissenter's rights and, under certain circumstances, pre-merger dispositions of
Magnum Common Stock) such that the Magnum shareholders do not retain a
meaningful continuing equity ownership in REMEC. Under IRS ruling guidelines, so
long as holders of Magnum Common Stock do not plan to dispose of in excess of
50% of the REMEC Common Stock to be received as described above (the "50%
Test"), such requirement will be satisfied. Management of Magnum and REMEC have
represented that they have no knowledge of a plan or intention that would result
in the 50% Test not being satisfied. As further assurance that the continuity of
interest requirement will be met, Magnum will require that certain of its large
shareholders indicate their agreement that, during the one-year period after the
Effective Date, such shareholders will not sell, exchange or otherwise dispose
of more than 50% of the shares of REMEC Common Stock received in the Merger.
A successful IRS challenge to the above-described status of the Merger
(based on a failure to satisfy the "continuity of interest" requirement or
otherwise) would result in a Magnum shareholder recognizing gain or loss with
respect to each share of Magnum Common Stock surrendered equal to the difference
between such shareholder's basis in such share and the fair market value of the
REMEC Common Stock received in exchange therefor. In such event, a Magnum
shareholder's aggregate basis in the shares of REMEC Common Stock received in
the exchange would equal the fair market value of such shares and the
shareholder's holding period for such shares would not include the period during
which the shareholder held Magnum Common Stock.
26
<PAGE> 36
Reporting Requirements
Each Magnum shareholder who receives shares of REMEC Common Stock pursuant
to the Merger is required by IRS regulations to file with his or her federal
income tax return for 1996 a statement that provides details relating to the
cost or basis of the stock transferred in the exchange and the amount of stock
and other property or money received from the exchange.
SHAREHOLDERS OF MAGNUM SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER APPLICABLE TO THEM, INCLUDING THE
APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Merger will be treated as a pooling of interests for accounting
purposes. Under this accounting treatment, the recorded assets and liabilities
of Magnum and RAC are carried forward to the combined operations of the
surviving corporation at their recorded amounts. No recognition of goodwill in
the combination is required of any party to the Merger.
To ensure that the Merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests,
certain shareholders of Magnum will provide a representation letter providing,
among other things, that they will not sell any shares held in Magnum, within 30
days prior to the Effective Date of the Merger and that they will not make any
disposition of REMEC Common Stock until such time as REMEC has published
financial results covering at least 30 days of post-merger combined operations
of REMEC and Magnum. See "Terms of the Merger -- Affiliates' Restrictions on
Sale of Magnum and REMEC Stock."
THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
To ensure the Merger is accounted for under the pooling of interests method
of accounting, the Merger Agreement contemplates the issuance by Magnum of
2,800,000 shares of Magnum Common Stock for cash to certain investors that will
not be security broker/dealers or affiliates thereof and that will be
"accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act (the
"Private Placement"). Any Security broker/dealers or affiliates thereof that
facilitate the Private Placement could be deemed to be an underwriter.
Consummation of the Private Placement is a condition to closing and the Magnum
Common Stock to be issued in the Private Placement is expected to be sold at a
price per share of 80% to 94% of the estimated value of Magnum Common Stock
based on the Exchange Ratio and the price of REMEC Common Stock ($.52 to $.61
per share of Magnum Common Stock based on the $13.75 closing price on the Nasdaq
National Market of REMEC Common Stock on July 29, 1996). The Private Placement
is expected to take place approximately 10 days before the Effective Date of the
Merger but after the record date. The holders of such shares will therefore not
be entitled to vote on the Merger.
Needham & Company, Inc. has been contacted concerning the Private Placement
and investors in the Private Placement may include customers of Needham &
Company, Inc. Berkeley International Capital Corporation may also be contacted
to determine if it or its affiliates have an interest in investing in the
Private Placement. Additionally, Oppenheimer & Co. and A.G. Edwards may be
contacted to determine if customers of such entities have an interest in
investing in the Private Placement. Other potential investors in the Private
Placement, the identity of which has not yet been determined, may also be
contacted.
AFFILIATES' RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OF MAGNUM AND REMEC STOCK
The shares of REMEC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger have been
registered under the Securities Act by a Registration Statement on Form S-4,
thereby allowing such securities to be traded without restriction by any former
holder of Magnum Stock: (i) who purchased Magnum Common Stock in the Private
Placement and who is not a securities broker/dealer or an affiliate of a
securities broker/dealer; and (ii) who is not deemed to be an "affiliate" of
Magnum prior to the consummation of the Merger, as "affiliate" is defined for
purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act, and who does not become an
"affiliate" of
27
<PAGE> 37
REMEC after the Merger. Magnum shareholders who may be deemed affiliates of
Magnum will be so advised prior to the Merger.
Magnum will use best efforts to cause each Magnum shareholder who is an
affiliate to agree not to make any public sale of any REMEC Common Stock
received upon consummation of the Merger except in compliance with Rule 145
under the Securities Act or otherwise in compliance with the Securities Act. In
general, Rule 145, as currently in effect, imposes restrictions on the manner in
which such affiliates may make resales of REMEC Common Stock and also on the
quantity of resales that such shareholders, and others with whom they may act in
concert, may make within any three (3) month period for a period of two (2)
years after consummation of the Merger, unless REMEC Common Stock held by such
affiliates is registered under the Securities Act or is otherwise exempt from
registration. To ensure that the issuance of REMEC Common Stock in the Merger
complies with the Securities Act, certain shareholders of Magnum will agree that
they will not offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any REMEC Common Stock
issued to such person in the Merger in violation of the Securities Act.
GOVERNMENTAL AND REGULATORY APPROVALS
REMEC and Magnum are aware of no governmental or regulatory approvals
required for consummation of the Merger, other than compliance with applicable
federal securities laws and "blue sky" laws of various states and the filing and
recording of the Agreement of Merger required under California law.
MERGER EXPENSES
Whether or not the Merger is consummated, REMEC and Magnum will be
responsible for their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
If the Merger is consummated, any holder of shares of Magnum Common Stock
which were outstanding on the record date for the Magnum Meeting who does not
vote such shares in favor of the Merger and who fully complies with all
applicable provisions of Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the
"Corporations Code"), are entitled to require Magnum to purchase such shares
(any and all of such shares being referred to in this Prospectus/ Proxy
Statement as "Dissenting Shares") for cash at their "fair market value" as of
the day preceding the first announcement of the terms of the proposed Merger,
excluding any appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the proposed
Merger. The last arms length transactions in Magnum Common Stock of which Magnum
is aware took place at $.20 per share in January 1996. The terms of the proposed
Merger were first publicly announced on May 16, 1996 (the "Merger Announcement
Date").
Dissenters' rights are exercisable only by the holder of record, not by a
beneficial owner who does not hold the shares of record.
A MAGNUM SHAREHOLDER WHO WISHES TO DEMAND THAT MAGNUM PURCHASE ALL OR A
PORTION OF HIS OR HER SHARES FOR CASH AT SUCH VALUE MUST DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES:
1. Vote such shares of Magnum Common Stock against the Merger or
abstain from voting such shares on the Merger;
2. Make a written demand on Magnum for the purchase of such shares and
for the payment in cash of the fair market value of such shares. Such
demand will not be effective unless it is received by Magnum within thirty
(30) days after the date on which notice of approval of the Merger is
mailed to such shareholder by Magnum.
3. Submit to Magnum, within thirty (30) days after the date on which
notice of approval of the Merger is mailed to such shareholder by Magnum,
the stock certificates representing the shares which such shareholder
demands that Magnum purchase. Magnum will endorse such certificates to
indicate that they represent Dissenting Shares.
The written demand and the stock certificates should be delivered and
addressed to Magnum at 1990 Concourse Drive, San Jose, California 95131,
Attention: Michael McDonald.
28
<PAGE> 38
The required written demand (the second-numbered requirements above) must
state: The number of shares of Magnum Common Stock held of record which the
shareholder demands be purchased and the amount that such shareholder claims to
be the fair market value of such shares AS OF THE DAY PRECEDING THE MERGER
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE EXCLUDING ANY APPRECIATION RESULTING FROM THE MERGER. The
statement of fair market value will constitute an offer by the shareholder to
sell such shares at the price set forth in the statement. Thereafter, the
shareholder may withdraw a demand for payment only if the company consents to
such withdrawal.
If Magnum and such shareholder agree that the shareholder has properly
exercised dissenters' rights in accordance with Chapter 13 of the Corporations
Code, and agree upon the relevant fair market value of the Dissenting Shares,
then Magnum, upon timely surrender of the certificates representing such shares
as set forth above, will make payment of the agreed upon amount (plus interest
at the legal rate from the date of such agreement) within thirty (30) days after
such agreement (or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of the
Merger, if later). If Magnum denies that such shareholder has properly exercised
dissenters' rights, or Magnum and such shareholder fail to agree on the relevant
fair market value of such shares, such shareholder may, within six (6) months
after the date on which the notice of shareholder approval is mailed to such
shareholder, but not thereafter, file a complaint in the Superior Court for the
County of Santa Clara, State of California, requesting the purchase of and
payment for such shares or to determine their fair market value or both. The
cost of any such action would be assessed or apportioned as the court considered
equitable. However, if the court were to determine that the fair market value
exceeded the price offered to the shareholder, then Magnum would be required to
pay costs (including, in the court's discretion, attorneys' fees, fees of expert
witnesses and interest at the legal rate, if the fair market value were
determined to exceed the price offered by the company by at least 25%).
In the event that the aggregate number of shares held by Magnum
shareholders for which dissenters rights may be exercised exceeds 10% of the
shares of REMEC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, REMEC has the right
under the Merger Agreement not to proceed with the Merger. See "Terms of the
Merger -- Conditions to the Merger."
THE FOREGOING IS MERELY A SUMMARY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE
STATEMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS. IT IS QUALIFIED IN ITS
ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE APPLICABLE STATUTORY PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 13 OF
THE CORPORATIONS CODE WHICH ARE SET FORTH IN FULL IN APPENDIX C TO THIS
PROSPECTUS/PROXY STATEMENT.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
give effect to the merger between Magnum Microwave Corporation ("Magnum") and
REMEC, Inc. (the "Company" or "REMEC") using the pooling of interests method of
accounting and are based upon the respective historical financial statements and
notes thereto of Magnum and the Company appearing elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. To reflect the pooling of interests, the operating results
of Magnum for each of its three fiscal years ended March 29, 1996 and the
unaudited three months ended April 26, 1996 have been combined with the
Company's operating results for each of its three fiscal years ended January 31,
1996 and for the three months ended May 5, 1996. In addition, the pro forma
statements of income for the year ended January 31, 1996 and for the three
months ended May 5, 1996 include the pro forma effect of the acquisition by
REMEC of RF Microsystems ("RFM") accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting as if it had occurred on February 1, 1995 and are based upon the
historical financial statements and notes thereto of RFM. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with
each of the historical financial statements referred to above and the notes
thereto. The proposed Merger requires the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Magnum. The pro forma condensed combined financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of
operations would have been for the periods presented had the transactions
occurred on the dates indicated and do not purport to indicate the results of
future operations.

REMEC, INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A -- ACQUISITION.
Effective April 30, 1996, REMEC acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of RFM and certain other assets in exchange for cash consideration of
approximately $4,066,000. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase,
and accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to the acquired
assets and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values in accordance with
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. The estimated
excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired of $3,559,000 is being
carried as intangible assets, including purchased technology, and will be
amortized over its estimated life of 15 years. REMEC's balance sheet as of May
5, 1996 reflects the acquisition of RFM.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for
both the year ended January 31, 1996, and for the three months ended May 5,
1996, have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of RFM as if it had occurred
on February 1, 1995. The pro forma results of operations for the year ended
January 31, 1996 and the three months ended May 5, 1996 include only preliminary
adjustments relating to the purchase price allocation of the accounts of RFM and
have been adjusted to (a) reflect amortization expense of $240,000 and $60,000,
respectively, associated with the amortization of acquisition related intangible
assets, and (b) the associated effect on income taxes of such amortization.
Final purchase price adjustments, if any, will be determined at a later date and
may differ from the estimates presented above. In the opinion of management of
REMEC, these estimates and the other adjustments used in the preparation of the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of
income are reasonable.
NOTE B -- MERGER
REMEC anticipates acquiring all of the outstanding Magnum common stock in
exchange for approximately 1,081,000 shares of REMEC's common stock except for
fractional shares which will be acquired for cash. The transaction will be
accounted for as a pooling of interests; accordingly, all of the assets and
liabilities of Magnum will be carried forward at their historical cost basis,
and the operating results of Magnum will be combined with those of REMEC for all
periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and
for the three months ended May 5, 1996 have been adjusted to reflect (a) the
estimated proceeds of $1,718,000 from the sale of 2,800,000 shares of Magnum's
common stock in a private placement conducted in order to meet the requirements
to account for the merger transaction as a pooling of interests and to be
effected in conjunction with the merger, and (b) the accrual of certain
estimated costs of the transaction. The actual costs of the transaction will be
expensed as incurred.

REMEC'S MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REMEC commenced operations in 1983 and has become a leader in the design
and manufacture of microwave MFMs for the defense industry. Historically,
substantially all of REMEC's sales have been to prime contractors to various
agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense and foreign defense contractors and
governments. In 1995, REMEC entered the commercial wireless telecommunications
market with orders aggregating approximately $47.3 million from P-COM to produce
microwave front ends of point-to-point radios. As of May 5, 1996, REMEC had an
order backlog of $119.6 million, $61.7 million of which is commercial wireless
content.
All revenues and related costs of sales are recognized when products are
shipped or engineering services are performed. In fiscal 1995 and 1996, and the
three months ended May 5, 1996, sales to REMEC's top ten customers accounted for
approximately 72%, 69% and 82%, respectively, of total net sales; sales to
REMEC's top three customers accounted for approximately 36%, 35% and 44%,
respectively, of total net sales; and sales to the top customer accounted for
15% of total net sales for both fiscal 1995 and 1996, and 28% of total sales for
the three months ended May 5, 1996. REMEC recorded revenues of approximately
$5.4 million and $4.5 million in sales to P-COM in fiscal 1996, and the three
months ended May 5, 1996, respectively, representing its first significant sales
in the wireless telecommunications market. REMEC expects sales to the commercial
telecommunications market to represent an increasing percentage of revenues in
the near future because of the P-COM backlog and REMEC's strategy to increase
its presence in the commercial wireless telecommunications market. REMEC's
international sales as a percentage of net sales for fiscal year 1995 and 1996
and the three months ended May 5, 1996, was 13%, 16% and 10%, respectively. The
international sales percentages do not include products sold to foreign end
users by REMEC's domestic OEM customers.
REMEC's research and development efforts in the defense industry are
conducted in direct response to the unique requirements of a customer's order
and, accordingly, expenditures related to such efforts are included in cost of
sales and the related funding is included in net sales. As a result, historical
research and development expenses have been minimal. REMEC expects that, as its
commercial business expands, research and development expenses will increase in
amount and as a percentage of sales.
REMEC historically has experienced some fluctuations in operating results
attributable to various factors including the contractual demands of major
customers and defense spending budgetary constraints. In addition, with the
decline in available defense industry production programs, REMEC has placed more
reliance on development contracts as a source of defense revenues, resulting in
an increased susceptibility to fluctuations due to an increase in revenues from
fixed price development contracts as a percentage of total revenues. Development
contracts carry reduced gross margins and are typically for minimal hardware
deliveries and sporadic non-hardware revenue items which results in fluctuating
revenues and gross margins. Furthermore, a large portion of REMEC's expenses are
fixed and difficult to reduce. If net sales do not meet REMEC's expectations,
the fixed nature of REMEC's expenses would exacerbate the effect on
profitability of any net sales shortfall.
Effective January 31, 1994, REMEC acquired all the outstanding stock of
Humphrey, Inc. ("Humphrey") in a transaction that was accounted for as a
purchase. Humphrey designs and manufactures precision instruments for guidance,
control and measurement systems used in defense and commercial applications.
Since the acquisition was effective on January 31, 1994, the consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the periods prior to fiscal year ended
January 31, 1995 do not include Humphrey's operating results. Subsequent
statements of income, cash flows and balance sheets include Humphrey operating
results and assets and liabilities. REMEC's microwave defense business is
conducted as REMEC Microwave ("Microwave") and its commercial wireless
telecommunications business is conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary
REMEC Wireless, Inc. ("Wireless").
On April 30, 1996, REMEC acquired from STM Wireless, Inc. ("STM") for cash
RF Microsystems, Inc. ("RFM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of STM, and various
VSAT (very small aperture terminals) microwave design and manufacturing
resources for a purchase price of approximately $4.0 million. In connection with
this acquisition, REMEC received purchase orders from STM totaling approximately
38
<PAGE> 48
$20 million for the design and manufacture of commercial wireless C-Band VSAT
equipment. RFM provides the Department of Defense with research and analysis,
systems engineering and test evaluation, primarily for satellite communication
systems.
The statements in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement that relate to future
plans, events or performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially due to a variety of factors, including the REMEC's
success in penetrating the commercial wireless market, risks associated with the
cancellation or reduction of orders by significant commercial or defense
customers, trends in the commercial wireless and defense markets, risks of cost
overruns and product nonperformance and the factors described in "Risk Factors"
beginning on page 9 and the other risks described in this Prospectus/Proxy
Statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. REMEC
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

Three Months Ended May 5, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended April 30, 1995
Net Sales. Net sales increased 27% from $12.9 million for the three months
ended April 30, 1995 to $16.4 million for the three months ended May 5, 1996.
The effects of a reduction in defense Microwave sales were offset by increased
Humphrey and commercial Wireless sales. Microwave sales decreased from $8.3
million for the three months ended April 30, 1995 to $6.1 million for the three
month period ended May 5, 1996. During the same three month periods, Humphrey
net sales increased from $4.7 million in 1995 to $5.7 million in 1996, while
Wireless net sales were $4.6 million for the three month period ended May 5,
1996 versus no sales during the comparable 1995 period.
The decrease in Microwave sales is attributable to continued reductions in
available defense industry production programs as well as continued pricing
pressure on follow-on orders for programs for which the Company participates.
The Company believes that in the near term defense procurement in the areas
addressed by the Company is stabilizing; however, there continues to be
uncertainty in the amount of defense business that will be available to the
Company. In an effort to offset the potential of declining defense revenues, the
Company is focusing heavily upon the commercial wireless telecommunications
business. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in the commercial wireless
39
<PAGE> 49
telecommunications market or that the deployment of resources to that market
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's defense business.
Results for the three month period ended April 30, 1995 include $0.9
million of non-recurring revenue, $0.3 million of gross profit and $0.1 million
of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the settlement
of a termination claim for a large defense contract that was terminated in
December 1992. The increase in Humphrey revenues is primarily attributable to
increased shipments on production contracts for existing programs and customers.
Sales to commercial wireless customers were almost entirely attributable to the
production of microwave front-ends for P-COM.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 25% from $2.9 million for the three
month period ended April 30, 1995 to $3.7 million for the three month period
ended May 5, 1996. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 23% for
the three months ended April 30, 1995 to 22% for the three month period ended
May 5, 1996. The decline in overall gross margin reflects declining margins at
Microwave and the relatively low start-up margins being achieved at Wireless,
which more than offset the improved margins at Humphrey. Gross margins for
Microwave declined from 27% in the three months ended April 30, 1995 to 19% in
the three months ended May 5, 1996. The declining gross margins at Microwave
were primarily the result of increasing price competition and the reduced
overhead absorption resulting from reduced volume. Gross margins at Humphrey
increased from 18% in the three months ended April 30, 1995 to 35% in the three
months ended May 5, 1996. Humphrey gross profit for the three month period ended
April 30, 1995 was adversely affected by losses on certain long-term contracts
in place at the time of the Company's acquisition of Humphrey. Humphrey gross
profit for the three month period ended May 5, 1996 reflects improved overhead
absorption attributable to increased volume. Gross margin for Wireless for the
three month period ended April 30, 1995 was 11%. Wireless gross margins are
being affected by start-up costs associated with the P-COM contract.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative ("S,G&A") expenses declined 4% from $2.0 million during the three
month period ended April 30, 1995 to $1.9 million for the three month period
ended May 5, 1996. S,G&A during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 included
expenses of approximately $0.1 million associated with the settlement of the
termination claim described above. Excluding these non-recurring expenses S,G&A
costs remained essentially unchanged. However, these expenses declined as a
percentage of net sales from 16% for the three month period ended April 30, 1995
to 11% for the corresponding period of fiscal year ending January 31, 1997
("fiscal 1997"). The Company expects to incur additional S,G&A expenses in the
future as it pursues the commercial wireless telecommunications market.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased from $167,000 for the three month period ended April 30, 1995 to
$726,000 for the three month period ended May 5, 1996. This increase resulted
primarily from commercial wireless telecommunications research and development
expenses totaling $510,000 during the three month period ended May 5, 1996.
Interest (Income) Expense. The Company's results of operations for the
three month period ended April 30, 1995 included interest expense of $44,000. By
contrast, results of operations for the three month period ended May 5, 1996
included net interest income of $109,000. The interest income in the three
months ended May 5, 1996 reflects the increased level of cash on hand as a
result of the funds generated from the Company's initial public offering which
was consummated in February 1996. The interest expense incurred during the three
months ended April 30, 1995 reflects interest on debt obligations incurred in
connection with the Humphrey acquisition.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate
declined from 43% for the three month period ended April 30, 1995 to 42% for the
three month period ended May 5, 1996. The Company expects its future effective
tax rate to be approximately 42%.
Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 1996 vs. fiscal Year Ended January 31, 1995
Net Sales. Net sales increased 14% from $46.2 million in fiscal year ended
January 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995") to $52.8 million in fiscal year ended January
31, 1996 ("fiscal 1996"). The effects of a reduction in defense Microwave sales
were offset by increased Humphrey and commercial Wireless sales. Microwave sales
40
<PAGE> 50
decreased from $30.2 million for fiscal 1995 to $26.8 million for fiscal 1996.
Humphrey net sales increased from $15.8 million in fiscal 1995 to $20.6 million
in fiscal 1996, while Wireless net sales were $5.4 million for fiscal 1996
versus no sales during fiscal 1995.
The decrease in Microwave sales is attributable to continued reductions in
available defense industry production programs as well as continued pricing
pressure on follow-on orders for programs for which REMEC participates. REMEC
believes that in the near term defense procurement in the areas addressed by
REMEC is stabilizing; however, there continues to be uncertainty in the amount
of defense business that will be available to REMEC. In an effort to offset the
potential of declining defense revenues, REMEC is focusing heavily upon the
commercial wireless telecommunications business. However, there can be no
assurance that REMEC will be successful in the commercial wireless
telecommunications market or that the deployment of resources to that market
will not have a material adverse effect on REMEC's defense business.
Results for fiscal 1996 include $2.4 million of non-recurring revenue, $0.9
million of gross profit and $0.3 million of selling, general and administrative
expenses associated with the settlement of a termination claim for a large
defense contract that was terminated in December 1992. The increase in Humphrey
revenues is primarily attributable to increased shipments on production
contracts for existing programs and customers. Sales to commercial wireless
customers were almost entirely attributable to the production of microwave
front-ends for P-COM.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 16% from $10.4 million for fiscal
1995 to $12.1 million for fiscal 1996. Gross margin increased from 22% in fiscal
1995 to 23% in fiscal 1996. Gross margins for Microwave were 20% for both
periods. A decrease in Microwave gross profit on recurring contracts was offset
by the gross profit on the non-recurring revenue associated with the settlement
described above. Gross margins for Humphrey were 26% for fiscal 1995 and 30% for
fiscal 1996. Gross margin for Wireless for fiscal 1996 was 12%. Wireless gross
margins are being affected by start-up costs associated with the P-COM contract.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. S,G&A expenses increased 6%
from $7.4 million during fiscal 1995 to $7.8 million for fiscal 1996. The
increase in S,G&A was primarily attributable to the recognition of expenses
associated with the settlement described above. These expenses as a percentage
of net sales declined from 16% for fiscal 1995 to 15% for fiscal 1996. REMEC
expects to incur increased S,G&A expenses in the future as it pursues the
commercial wireless telecommunications market.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased from $237,000 for fiscal 1995 to $1,582,000 for fiscal 1996. This
increase resulted primarily from initial commercial wireless telecommunications
research and development expenses totaling $937,000 during fiscal 1996. REMEC
expects that as its commercial business expands, research and development
expenses will increase in amount and as a percentage of sales.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $342,000 for fiscal 1995
to $154,000 for fiscal 1996. The decrease is attributable to continued
reductions in average bank borrowings as REMEC reduces the debt attributable to
the Humphrey acquisition.
Provision for Income Taxes. REMEC's effective income tax rate was 41% in
fiscal 1995 and 1996.
Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 1995 vs. Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 1994.
Net Sales. Net sales increased 31% from $35.3 million in fiscal year ended
January 31, 1994 ("fiscal 1994") to $46.2 million in fiscal year ended January
31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995"). This increase is primarily attributable to the
inclusion of approximately $16.0 million of Humphrey revenues in the fiscal 1995
results. This increase was offset by a reduction of approximately $5 million (or
14%) in Microwave revenues. Microwave revenues decreased due to continued
reductions in available defense industry production programs as well as
continued pricing pressure for follow-on orders on programs in which REMEC
participates. Humphrey revenues for its fiscal year prior to being acquired by
REMEC, the year ended December 31, 1993, were $24.1 million. Humphrey revenues
declined $8.1 million from the year ended December 31, 1993 to fiscal 1995
because of a decrease in customer demand for Humphrey products.
41
<PAGE> 51
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 21% from $8.6 million in fiscal 1994
to $10.4 million in fiscal 1995. Microwave gross margins decreased from 24% in
fiscal year 1994 to 20% in fiscal 1995. The reduction in Microwave gross margins
is attributable to continued industry pricing pressure, reduced revenue volume
and additional development versus production business. Humphrey gross margins
were 26% in fiscal 1995.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. S,G&A expenses increased 40%
from $5.3 million in fiscal year 1994 to $7.4 million in fiscal year 1995. This
increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the operating results of
Humphrey in fiscal year 1995. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses
increased from 15% in fiscal 1994 to 16% in fiscal 1995.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased from $32,000 in fiscal year 1994 to $237,000 in fiscal 1995. The
increase was primarily attributable to Humphrey.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from approximately $10,000 in
fiscal 1994 to $342,000 in fiscal 1995. The increase was primarily attributable
to increased borrowings associated with the Humphrey acquisition.
Provision for Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate was 41% in
fiscal year 1994 and 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided from operations for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1994,
1995, and 1996 was $5.1 million, $3.5 million, and $3.4 million, respectively.
During the three month period ended May 5, 1996, operations used approximately
$3.7 million. During the three months ended May 5, 1996, accounts receivable
increased by approximately $2.2 million as a result of the Company's higher
level of sales. Accounts payable also declined approximately $1.0 million during
the same time period as the Company utilized proceeds from its initial public
offering to reduce certain of its trade payables.
Net cash used in investing activities was $9.3 million, $1.4 million, $3.2
million and $5.1 million during the fiscal years ended January 31, 1994, 1995,
and 1996, and the three month period ended May 5, 1996, respectively.
Historically, cash flow used for investing activities has been for capital
expenditures for increased capacity, environmental compliance and facility and
equipment upgrade. In addition, the substantial increase in cash used in
investing activities during fiscal year ended January 31, 1994 is attributable
to the acquisition of Humphrey with $7.6 million being invested. The Humphrey
acquisition was financed with cash balances and bank line-of-credit borrowings.
The increase in net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 1996 versus
1995 is primarily attributable to initial capital expenditures associated with
the Company's entrance into the commercial wireless telecommunications market.
The Company's future capital expenditures will be substantially higher than
historical levels as a result of commercial wireless telecommunications
expansion requirements. The substantial increase in cash used in investing
activities during the three months ended May 5, 1996 is primarily attributable
to the acquisition of RF Microsystems, Inc. ("RFM") with approximately $4.0
million being invested. The RFM acquisition was financed primarily by funds
raised in the Company's initial public offering.
In February 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO")
of its common stock in which the Company sold a total of 2.3 million shares of
common stock at $8.00 per share. The Company's proceeds from the offering after
deducting underwriting commissions and expenses were $15.7 million. In addition
to the funds invested in connection with the acquisition of RFM, an additional
$2.4 million of the IPO proceeds were utilized to pay down certain bank
obligations, including $526,000 of obligations assumed in the acquisition of
RFM. Approximately $3.1 million of the net proceeds were used for working
capital purposes including $2.2 million to finance increased accounts receivable
and $1 million to reduce accounts payable.
At May 5, 1996, the Company had $6.2 million of cash and cash equivalents
and $20.4 million of working capital. The Company has $15.0 million in available
credit facilities consisting of a $9.0 million revolving working capital
line-of-credit and a $6.0 million revolving term loan. The borrowing rates are
prime and prime plus .5% respectively. The revolving working capital
line-of-credit terminates June 1, 1997. The revolving
42
<PAGE> 52
period under the term loan expires June 1, 1997, at which time any loan amount
outstanding converts to a term loan to be fully amortized and paid in full by
November 1, 2000.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including the nature and timing of orders by OEM customers, the progress of the
Company's research and development efforts, expansion of the Company's marketing
and sales efforts, and the status of competitive products. The Company believes
that available capital resources and the proceeds from its initial public
offering will be adequate to fund its operations for at least twelve months.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional
financing prior to such date. There can be no assurance that any additional
financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. The
inability to obtain such financing could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

year ended March 29, 1996 ("fiscal 1996") as compared to $11.3 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 ("fiscal 1995"). The primary reason for the
decrease was a $2.3 million reduction in cavity oscillator shipments to
Harris-Farinon, Magnum's single largest customer. While the decrease represents
a permanent reduction in this business, Magnum has designed a series of DRO's to
replace the obsoleted cavity oscillators and has begun shipments of these
products to Harris. To a lesser extent, the decrease in revenue was attributable
to the relocation of Magnum's facility from Fremont to San Jose. Senior
management devoted significant amounts of time and energy into planning and
implementing the move and the associated disruption affected production
efficiency.
Net revenues for fiscal year 1995 were $11.3 million as compared to $11.3
million for the fiscal year ended April 1, 1994 ("fiscal 1994") although the
product mix varied as reflected in the above table.
Sales to Magnum's top ten customers accounted for approximately 60%, 69%
and 64% of net revenues in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the
same period, Magnum's top three customers accounted for approximately 40%, 50%
and 40% of net revenues.
International sales were $1.3 million, $1.0 million, and $1.1 million in
fiscal years 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. These sales represent
approximately 14%, 9% and 10% of net revenues. The fiscal 1996 revenues
45
<PAGE> 55
excludes sales of $237,000 to a domestic exporter who sells to end users in the
Far East. Due to increased focus on international markets, Magnum expects that
international revenues should increase as a percentage of revenues in fiscal
1997. All international sales are denominated in United States dollars to
eliminate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Gross Margin. Magnum's gross margin decreased to 37.3% in fiscal 1996,
down from 39.5% in fiscal 1995 and 42.7% in fiscal 1994. The decrease in 1996
from 1995 was due primarily to the reduced revenue levels in the cavity
oscillator product line, the disruption in operations created by the facility
relocation and the continued erosion of the average selling prices in many of
Magnum's products. The decrease in 1995 from 1994 was attributable primarily to
declining average selling prices brought about by the intense competition in
Magnum's markets.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $692,000,
$792,000, and $750,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. As a
percent of net revenues, research and development expenses were 7.4%, 7.0%, and
6.6% for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in absolute
dollars from 1995 to 1996 was primarily due to lower payroll related expenses
which resulted from the resignation of two design engineers during the year,
both of whom have yet to be replaced. The increase in research and development
expenses in fiscal 1995 from 1994 was primarily due to increased effort in the
development of DRO products.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $944,000,
$1,094,000 and $1,118,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 or 10.1%, 9.7% and 9.9%
of net revenues, respectively. The decrease in absolute dollars from 1995 to
1996 was the result of reduced sales and marketing staff, less sales
representative commissions due to lower revenues and reduced travel and
advertising expenses. The decrease in absolute dollars from 1994 to 1995 was
primarily the result of lower average sales representative commission rates on
the same level of net revenues.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
were $840,000, $771,000 and $859,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, or 8.9%,
6.8% and 7.6% of net revenues, respectively. The increase in fiscal 1996 was due
primarily to expenses related to the facility relocation and, to a lesser
extent, fees paid to a consultant to aid Magnum in identifying potential merger
and acquisition candidates. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 was primarily due to
lowered incentive bonus expense.
Interest Income. Net interest income in fiscal 1996 of $119,000 was the
result of interest income of $143,000 being earned on cash, cash equivalents,
short and long-term investments during the year, net of interest paid on
long-term borrowings of $24,000. Net interest income in 1995 of $44,000 was the
result of interest income of $82,000 being earned on cash, cash equivalents,
short and long-term investments during the year, net of interest paid on
long-term borrowings of $38,000. Net interest income in 1994 of $48,000 was the
result of interest income of $43,000 being earned on cash and cash equivalents
and a $36,000 gain on the early retirement of long-term debt, net of interest
paid on long-term borrowings of $31,000.
Provision for Income Taxes. Magnum's effective tax rate was 40.5%, 40.5%
and 24.2% in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The effective rate for
fiscal 1994 differs from 1996 and 1995 due to the final utilization of various
tax credits including the research and development tax credit, investment tax
credit and the alternative minimum tax credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Magnum has funded its operations to date
primarily from private sales of equity, cash flow from operations, bank and
asset-based lender line-of-credit financing and capital equipment lease
financing. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 1996, cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments increased to $2,375,000 from $2,340,000. Also during
this period, working capital decreased by $245,000 to $2,845,000, primarily due
to $441,000 of long-term debt maturing within one year.
Operating Activities -- Magnum's operating activities provided cash of
$823,000 during fiscal 1996, $1,135,000 in fiscal 1995 and $1,529,000 in fiscal
1994. For fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, net cash provided by operating activities
resulted primarily from net income adjusted for depreciation.
46
<PAGE> 56
Investing Activities -- Net cash used in investment activities in fiscal
1996, 1995 and 1994 of $374,000, $1,551,000 and $121,000, respectively,
consisted primarily of capital expenditures and purchases of held-to-maturity
securities. Other than tenant improvements in the new facility during fiscal
1996, capital expenditures were primarily for new manufacturing equipment and
personal computers and related software for a local area network. Purchases of
held-to-maturity securities in fiscal 1995 amounted to $1,455,000.
Financing Activities -- Net cash used in financing activities consisted
primarily of the repurchase of common stock and principal payments on long-term
borrowings. Magnum repurchased outstanding common stock in the amounts of
$789,000, $928,000 and $27,000 during fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During these same periods, Magnum's principal payments on long-term borrowings,
including capital lease obligations, were $154,000, $198,000 and $196,000.
As of March 29, 1996, Magnum's primary unused sources of funds consisted of
$893,000 of cash and cash equivalents, in addition to $1,483,000 of short-term
investments. Magnum also maintains a $1,500,000 revolving accounts receivable
line of credit with a bank, which is renewed and amended annually in September.
Borrowings bear interest at prime plus 0.5%. As of March 29, 1996, there were no
borrowings outstanding.
Magnum expects to make capital expenditures throughout fiscal 1997 and will
also continue to explore acquisition, merger and strategic partnering agreement
opportunities. Magnum believes that, together with cash on hand and cash
generated from operations, sufficient funds exist to finance its operations
through at least the end of fiscal 1997. To the extent necessary, Magnum may
also use bank borrowings and capital leases depending on the terms available.
Magnum's cash requirements in the future may also be financed through additional
equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such financing can be
obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

INFORMATION CONCERNING REMEC
INTRODUCTION
REMEC is a leader in the design and manufacture of microwave multi-function
modules ("MFMs") for microwave transmission systems used in defense applications
and recently commenced selling MFMs to the commercial wireless
telecommunications market. REMEC believes that its expertise in microwave
transmission system components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers and switches
and its expertise in integrating these components into MFMs give REMEC a strong
competitive position in the emerging commercial wireless infrastructure
equipment market. REMEC's capabilities enable it to develop and manufacture MFMs
with reduced size, weight, parts count and cost, and increased reliability and
performance.
REMEC's products operate at high RF (800 MHz to 1 GHz), microwave (1 GHz to
20 GHz) and millimeter wave (20 GHz to 50 GHz) frequencies (collectively
referred to as "microwave"). Modern wireless telecommunications systems employ
microwave transmission technology pioneered in the defense industry. Microwave
frequency bands have been used for emerging wireless telecommunications
applications because they are less congested and have more available bandwidth,
affording greater voice, data and video transmission capacity than lower
frequency bands. Fueled by technological advances and regulatory changes, demand
for wireless telecommunications products has increased in recent years for
applications such as mobile telephony (cellular and PCS), paging, wireless
cable, interactive television and wireless local loop. These emerging wireless
applications require a large infrastructure of microwave transmission equipment
such as base stations and point-to-point radios.
REMEC also designs and manufactures precision instruments for guidance,
control and measurement systems used by the defense, aerospace, petroleum and
mining industries.
On April 30, 1996, REMEC acquired from STM Wireless, Inc. ("STM") for cash
RF Microsystems, Inc. ("RFM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of STM, and various
VSAT (very small aperture terminals) microwave design and manufacturing
resources for a purchase price of approximately $4.0 million. In addition, STM
and REMEC formed a strategic partnership under which REMEC received purchase
orders totaling approximately $20 million for the design and manufacture of
commercial wireless C-Band VSAT equipment. RFM provides the Department of
Defense with research and analysis, systems engineering and test evaluation,
primarily for satellite communication systems.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
In recent years there has been a significant increase in demand for
wireless telecommunications services from business and consumer users worldwide.
This trend has led to significant growth in the number of subscribers for
existing wireless communications systems and to the emergence of new wireless
applications. The United States Department of Commerce estimates that there were
approximately 52 million cellular subscribers worldwide at the end of 1994,
compared with approximately 33 million at the end of 1993. In response to the
increasing demand, governmental regulatory agencies are allocating additional
frequencies for personal communications services ("PCS") which can be used for a
broad range of wireless voice, data and facsimile services.
REMEC expects demand for PCS and cellular infrastructure equipment to
increase. PCS licenses are currently being auctioned in the United States. To
date, service providers have paid in excess of $7 billion for such licenses.
REMEC believes that these licensees will rapidly deploy infrastructure equipment
in order to begin offering service from which to recover their investment. In
addition, the licensees are required by FCC regulations to establish a PCS
infrastructure to service approximately 33% of the population in their
respective service areas within five years and 67% within ten years or risk
forfeiting their licenses. This requirement is expected to drive a rapid
build-up of base station equipment in advance of the start of subscriber
service. Additional development of infrastructure is expected in the cellular
industry as well. In response to increased demand, existing cellular service
providers in densely populated urban areas are expanding the capacity of their
existing cellular systems by incorporating microcellular networks that divide
current cells into several
48
<PAGE> 58
smaller radius cells in order to maintain service quality and availability,
requiring expansion of infrastructure equipment.
Microwave frequency bands have been allocated for evolving wireless
telecommunications applications because they are less congested and have more
available bandwidth, affording greater voice, data and video transmission
capacity than lower radio frequency bands. The microwave technology used in
modern wireless telecommunications systems employ technology pioneered in the
defense industry. Governments worldwide have funded the development of microwave
transmission technologies for defense purposes including missile guidance,
electronic warfare, communications, radar, radar jamming, navigation and
identification of other aircraft. Higher frequency transmissions have been
desirable for defense applications because they have traditionally been less
congested, afford greater positional accuracy at shorter range, and allow for
the use of smaller equipment, especially important characteristics in
satellites, aircraft and missiles.
A typical cellular or PCS communications system contains a number of cells,
each with a base station, which are networked to form a service provider's
coverage area. Each base station or cell site houses the equipment that
transmits and receives telephone calls to and from the cellular or PCS
subscriber within the cell and to and from the switching office of the local
wireline telephone system. This equipment usually consists of several
multi-channel radios, some of which operate at lower frequencies to communicate
with the subscriber (phone, modem, etc.) and others operating at higher
frequencies to communicate with the local switching office and with adjacent
base stations. In the past, base stations typically were interconnected through
leased telephone lines, but with the advent of less expensive radio systems, it
is often easier and more cost effective to use microwave point-to-point radios
for wireless interconnection links.
Wireless technology has other potentially broad applications beyond
cellular and PCS systems. The recent worldwide trend toward privatization of
public telephone operators and deregulation of local telephone or "local loop"
services has resulted in increased competition in the delivery of telephone
service from alternative access providers. Many of these new access providers,
such as long-distance telephone carriers, public utilities and cable television
companies, must install or upgrade infrastructure to support basic and enhanced
services. In addition, worldwide demand for basic telephone service has grown,
especially in developing countries. As new infrastructure is established to
deliver local telephone service, service providers are increasingly choosing
wireless microwave transmission systems, which involve a number of short-haul
radio connections, instead of a traditional wired approach, to connect
subscribers to the public telephone network because wireless systems generally
offer lower cost and faster installation. Wireless systems can also be used to
bypass local telephone operating companies for private networking applications.
Market demands for wireless telecommunications are also being addressed by
satellite systems to provide wireless transmissions of voice, data and video
information to and from fixed ground and mobile terminals for applications such
as credit card validation, inventory collection and remote monitoring, as well
as rural telephony.
THE REMEC OPPORTUNITY
Historically, microwave systems for defense applications were built by
prime contractors who would procure single function components (such as filters,
amplifiers and mixers) from various specialized manufacturers. These single
function components were then connected to create the complete microwave
transmission system. In order to prevent components from interfering with each
other or being damaged, components were individually packaged. In response to
the demands of the Department of Defense to increase performance for microwave
transmission systems (especially systems located on aircraft and missiles),
prime contractors integrated more functionality into the systems while reducing
size and weight. To accomplish this, the prime contractors demanded higher
levels of integration from component suppliers.
REMEC, which started in 1983 as a producer of single function components,
was well positioned to respond to the prime contractors' demands and took a
leadership role in developing microwave MFMs in which numerous component
functions are integrated into a single module. Integrating multiple functions
into one module reduces packaging and interconnects, permits improved
performance through optimal partitioning and implementation of functions and
minimizes "over engineering." The result has been significant reductions
49
<PAGE> 59
in size, weight and cost and improvements in producibility and reliability. In
fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, sales of MFMs accounted for more than 70% of
REMEC's microwave product sales.
REMEC believes that the evolution of cellular and PCS infrastructure, as
well as other wireless telecommunications systems, will require increased
integration in order to reduce size, weight and cost and to increase reliability
and producibility of base station equipment. REMEC believes that the high cost
of facilities, power and maintenance will necessitate the development of small,
highly reliable and cost effective microwave "front ends" (the circuitry of the
radio that enables signals to be transmitted and received at microwave
frequencies) for wireless transmission systems, requiring the increased use of
MFMs. In addition, increasing use of MFMs will facilitate higher volume
commercial production of wireless infrastructure equipment.
REMEC believes that the following core competencies will enable it to
address the opportunities presented in the emerging wireless telecommunications
market:
Integration Expertise. Integration is a key part of designing high
performance equipment that operates at higher frequencies (over 1 GHz) or
that must operate over a broad frequency range. By effectively integrating
multiple functions into single modules, REMEC has been able to accomplish
the following:
- reduce packaging and interconnects
- improve performance through optimal partitioning and
implementation of functions
- reduce product size and parts count
- increase reliability
- minimize "over engineering" (e.g., avoid using higher
performance, more costly components than are necessary in order
to compensate for the performance degradation effects resulting
from combining different components into one system)
- reduce cost
Concurrent Engineering. REMEC has excelled at developing products
optimized in design, process and manufacturing implementation by employing
"concurrent engineering" during the product development cycle. REMEC's
concurrent engineering approach extends to both its customer and supplier
base. REMEC often participates in its customers' product development cycle
during the conceptual design stage and is able to influence its customers'
system architecture/design in order to optimize for cost and performance at
the MFM level. Likewise, REMEC invites suppliers to participate in the
design process to optimize material and device selection. In the product
design process, product teams with design, process, quality and
manufacturing engineering expertise review the product design to assure its
producibility, high quality and affordability. Manufacturing process
development and tooling occurs concurrently with product development. REMEC
believes that its concurrent engineering process reduces cycle times and
costly product redesigns when products move to volume production.
Technology Leadership. Since its inception in 1983, REMEC has
developed over 2500 microwave MFMs and components and has become an
important supplier of MFMs to many of the nation's leading defense
contractors. REMEC has received significant recognition, including
"preferred supplier" designations, from customers including Hughes
Aircraft, Loral Corporation, Lockheed-Martin Corporation, TRW Inc.,
Westinghouse and Raytheon Company. These distinctions generally carry with
them the opportunity to bid on all new product procurements by the customer
in REMEC's area of expertise and to ship products without the customer
performing a quality inspection prior to shipment. REMEC has developed many
proprietary design techniques and manufacturing processes which have been
standardized within REMEC in the form of documented design rules and
standards that are used throughout the engineering staff. This proprietary
library is used by REMEC in applying its expertise to commercial wireless
telecommunications infrastructure equipment.
50
<PAGE> 60
Vertical Integration in Design and Manufacturing. With vertical
integration REMEC focuses on and retains control of each step of the entire
design and manufacturing process while minimizing the use of outside
sources and subcontractors for key services. Vertical integration reduces
time to market and unit costs and improves quality control, reliability and
REMEC's ability to implement volume production.
STRATEGY
REMEC intends to become a leading developer and supplier of microwave MFMs
and components to wireless telecommunications infrastructure OEMs and to retain
leadership in developing and supplying microwave MFMs and components to the
defense industry. Execution of REMEC's strategy incorporates the following key
elements:
Leverage Expertise in New Markets for Wireless Infrastructure
Equipment. REMEC plans to use the technological expertise it developed in
the defense industry to respond to the increasing demand for wireless
telecommunications infrastructure equipment. To better focus on these
opportunities, REMEC formed REMEC Wireless, Inc. in May 1995, which
operates as a separate business entity with dedicated design and
manufacturing resources. REMEC Wireless is producing point-to-point radio
front ends for P-COM, as well as developing products for customers in the
cellular, PCS, paging and satellite market segments.
Maintain and Enhance Leadership in Microwave Technology. REMEC
intends to maintain and enhance its leadership in microwave technology by
continuing its participation in selected defense programs that involve
highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art microwave technology. REMEC believes
that the technological capability to integrate increased microwave
functionality into single modules -- skills acquired by REMEC in the
defense industry -- will be a key factor in achieving substantial
reductions in the size and cost of commercial wireless infrastructure
equipment.
Build Strategic Customer Alliances. REMEC intends to continue its
focus on developing significant customer alliances with leading wireless
OEMs and defense prime contractors. REMEC concentrates its efforts on
applications which offer the potential for recurring high volume
production. In wireless telecommunications REMEC's strategy is to enter
into strategic alliances with selected leaders in each of the wireless
market segments targeted by REMEC. REMEC supports its customers during
their conceptual design stage to influence the system architecture/design
to optimize for cost, performance and producibility, further enhancing the
likelihood of follow on business.
Maintain Cost Competitiveness. REMEC intends to remain cost
competitive through increasing its use of manufacturing automation and
implementing performance alignment and test automation. REMEC intends to
implement more extensive process manufacturing automation and believes that
its ability to develop a high level of automated product alignment and test
capability will offer an important competitive advantage. REMEC also
believes that its capabilities in integrating numerous functions into
single modules will enable it to continue to produce high performance
products at competitive cost.
Augment Component Technology. REMEC believes that its superior
technological and manufacturing skills at the component level allow it to
achieve optimum levels of MFM integration making it better able to respond
to customer requirements for reduced size and weight and lower cost. REMEC
intends to acquire additional specialized microwave component technology
through the acquisition of premier component firms to expand its existing
component capabilities and integration expertise.

TECHNOLOGY
Wireless transmissions require the conversion of information into a higher
frequency signal that can be transmitted and received through the air.
Generally, the frequency spectrum is allocated for different wireless uses by
governmental entities. The following diagram illustrates the frequency ranges at
which various wireless applications operate or are expected to operate.

</TABLE>
As new applications emerge for wireless technology, higher and higher
frequencies must be used due to congestion at lower frequencies. Additionally,
higher frequency bands allow a greater number of channels to be allocated to the
same percentage of spectrum compared with lower frequencies, affording greater
capacity at similar cost. The microwave transmission systems and associated
equipment required to implement these applications are similar in nature and
require similar design and manufacturing expertise as those developed for
defense applications. Examples of such equipment are millimeter wave
point-to-point radios which have been increasingly utilized for short-haul
wireless connections such as interconnecting cellular and PCS bases stations or
providing private local loop service. High frequency radios are well suited for
these applications because the signal strength fades out very quickly in the
atmosphere, allowing frequencies to be "re-used" beyond relatively small
geographic areas such as cellular systems. For example, the signal of a 23 GHz
point-to-point radio has a range of approximately 10 miles.
Every microwave transmission system contains a microwave "front end" that
performs the function of transforming modulated voice, data or video from an
intermediate frequency ("IF") signal (generally 10 MHz to 500 MHz) into a
microwave frequency signal for transmission and/or converting an incoming signal
from microwave frequencies back into an IF modulated voice, data or video
signal. A microwave front end will usually consist of several interconnected
MFMs and single function components.

PRODUCTS
Microwave MFMs and Components. REMEC designs customized microwave MFMs and
components, as well as subsystems incorporating multiple MFMs and components, to
address the specific requirements of its OEM and defense contractor customers.
In fiscal year end January 31, 1996 and the three months ended May 5, 1996,
sales of microwave MFMs and components accounted for approximately 61% and 65%,
respectively, of REMEC's sales, with sales of MFMs accounting for more than 74%
and 82% of REMEC's microwave product sales in those respective periods.
An MFM typically consists of one or a number of microwave circuit boards
and/or ceramic substrates mounted into a single package on which semiconductor
devices and other electronic components are interconnected to perform signal
processing functions such as amplification, conversion from one frequency to
another and filtering. The performance of the MFM is affected by the
characteristics of the semiconductor devices and other electronic components,
the inter-connectivity patterns of various components, the shape, size and
location of the components with respect to each other, the type of material used
for the circuit board or substrate, and the size, shape and type of enclosure
that is designed to hold the circuit boards and/or substrates. Predicting and
controlling performance in module designs at microwave frequencies requires a
combination of design experience using accurate modeling of component
performance and manufacturing experience employing repeatable and precise
tolerance manufacturing processes. Perfecting module designs also requires
expertise in partitioning circuit blocks. Knowledge of which functions to
integrate or separate and how various blocks will interact in the system results
in better overall performance and smaller size. Knowledge of which materials,
devices and technology best implement each function results in lower cost.
The Communication, Navigation and Identification (CNI) system for the F-22
Stealth Tactical Fighter Aircraft illustrates the benefits derived from the
application of REMEC's MFM technology. A product team comprised of TRW Inc. and
REMEC engineers concurrently developed the requirements documents for 15 unique
MFMs and several components that comprise the microwave front end of the CNI
system. The product team optimized TRW's preliminary design for maximum
electrical performance, minimal package size and weight, minimum number of
unique MFMs and low manufacturing cost. The product team was able to reduce the
number of unique MFMs from 15 to 13, the weight from 24 to 17 pounds and the
volume by 30%, while improving performance and reducing the cost of production.
When REMEC was founded in 1983, its first products were filters, single
function components. Since inception, REMEC has excelled at developing a broad
range of filter products. REMEC believes that its core filter technology has
been a significant enabler in the MFM business. Today, REMEC designs and
manufactures a number of components, including filters, switches, variable
attenuators, amplifiers, oscillators, mixers and multipliers. REMEC believes
that its component level expertise is a key competitive advantage in designing
MFMs. REMEC's components generally are able to operate at high frequencies and
are relatively small in size. Although most of REMEC's revenues currently are
from sales of MFMs, REMEC does sell a significant number of single-function
filters, switches, multipliers and amplifiers.
Commercial systems which utilize these products include infrastructure
radio equipment for cellular and PCS systems, wireless local loop, private
networks, VSAT networks and mobile satellite communication networks. Defense
applications which utilize these products include radar, radar jamming,
communications and navigation systems on aircraft, satellites and missile
guidance systems. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, and fiscal
quarter ended May 5, 1996, the sale of microwave MFMs and components accounted
for approximately 61% and 65%, respectively, of REMEC's total sales. REMEC's
$119.6 million backlog as of May 5, 1996 included $98.1 million of orders for
microwave MFMs and components.

Microwave MFMs and Components Under Development. REMEC's most significant
product under development is the next generation design of the front end of a 23
GHz point-to-point radio for P-COM. This subsystem consists of the integration
of a number of MFMs and components which perform multiple frequency conversions
between the baseband IF signal and the 23 GHz transmit/receive signal. The
re-design involves circuit optimization to reduce component count, size and cost
and re-packaging to combine multiple functions into a smaller number of MFMs.
REMEC is also working with P-COM on the development of other products. See
"Information Concerning REMEC -- Customers."
In the VSAT market, REMEC is transitioning a fully integrated C-Band SCPC
(single carrier per channel) transceiver from development into volume
production. This transceiver provides band width on demand allowing a large
number of data channels to be multiplexed into a single communications link
which provides a cost advantage over current single channel products. REMEC is
also developing a low cost single channel SES (subscriber earth station) VSAT
terminal for STM. REMEC intends to use this product to provide satellite-based
phone service to outlying areas in underdeveloped countries.
In the satellite communications market, REMEC is currently involved in a
concurrent development program with Orbital Sciences Corporation for the
transmit and receive modules used in the satellites that comprise their LEO (Low
Earth Orbit) constellation designed to provide two-way data and messaging
service anywhere on the globe. Two prototype satellites which include REMEC's
microwave products have been launched. REMEC also supplies components to
Motorola, Inc. on the Iridium satellite program.
REMEC is in the process of creating a dedicated commercial filter product
line to adapt its core technology to the wireless marketplace. High performance
cavity filters located at the antenna port of base station radio front ends are
being developed for cellular systems, paging transmitters and point-to-point
radios. Low cost ceramic filter products, typically used downstream from the
antenna, are being developed for cellular, PCS, point-to-point radio and paging
transmitter applications.
Several cellular and PCS radio modules that integrate cavity filters,
amplifiers, ceramic filters and distribution circuits are currently being
developed. In these cases, REMEC is using its component/technology expertise and
integration skills to develop a higher performance product at a lower cost than
current single function filter and amplifier component suppliers. As REMEC
designs components and modules for specific markets, REMEC believes these
designs can be readily modified and repackaged for similar products for other
customers in the same market, shortening product development cycle time and
production ramp-up.
Inertial Guidance Products. REMEC also designs and manufactures precision
instruments for guidance, control and measurement systems through a wholly owned
subsidiary, Humphrey, Inc., which was
54
<PAGE> 64
incorporated in 1951 and acquired by REMEC effective January 31, 1994. These
instruments are used by the defense, aerospace, petroleum and mining industries.
Humphrey's primary products are gyroscopes used for military missile and bomb
guidance. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, and the fiscal quarter
ended May 5, 1996, Humphrey accounted for approximately 39% and 35%,
respectively (36% for the comparable quarter in fiscal 1995), of REMEC's sales.
REMEC's $119.6 million backlog as of May 5, 1996, included $18.4 million of
orders by Humphrey's customers.
Most of Humphrey's business is the design, manufacture and sale of guidance
and control components, including gyroscopes, rate sensors, accelerometers,
potentiometers, pendulums, magnetometers, north-seeking devices and related
products for control and instrumentation systems. These products indicate
changes in the direction and speed of moving objects and are sold to a wide
variety of missile and defense aircraft manufacturers for use in primary control
systems for the stabilization and guidance of missiles and in instrumentation
systems. In addition, these products are purchased by manufacturers of
commercial and general aviation aircraft. Humphrey's products are designed for
use in defense, aircraft, aerospace and oceanographic applications. A smaller
portion of Humphrey's business is directional survey equipment consisting of
directional gyroscopes, cameras, optical compasses and related instruments used
for subsurface directional surveying in exploration and production drilling in
the petroleum and mining industries.
CUSTOMERS
Commercial. Since entering the commercial market for microwave MFMs and
components in March 1995, REMEC has received $47.3 million in orders from P-COM
to produce point-to-point radio front ends and related MFMs. In addition, REMEC
has received $20.0 million in orders from STM for the design and manufacture of
C-Band VSAT equipment. REMEC has also received small initial orders for
microwave MFMs and components from AT&T, Caterpillar Inc., Glenayre
Technologies, Inc., Motorola, Inc., Orbital Sciences Corporation, Pacific
Communication Sciences, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corporation.
REMEC expects that sales of its wireless commercial products will continue
to be concentrated among a limited number of major customers. If REMEC were to
lose a major customer or if orders by such customer were to be canceled or
otherwise decrease, REMEC's business, financial condition and results of
operations would be materially adversely affected. See "Risk Factors -- Reliance
on P-COM; Customer Concentration and Exclusivity."
P-COM. P-COM produces point-to-point millimeter wave radio systems for use
in wireless telecommunications applications. P-COM was founded in August 1991
and reported sales of $738,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, $9,238,000
for the year ended December 31, 1994 and $42,805,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. P-COM and REMEC entered into an agreement in August 1995 for the
production by REMEC of microwave front ends for 23 GHz point-to-point radios in
quantities and at fixed prices set forth in purchase orders issued by P-COM and
accepted by REMEC. The agreement provides for REMEC to reduce product cost
through design changes. REMEC has accepted orders to produce in excess of 15,000
units for P-COM. The orders are to be executed in three phases. In the first
phase, REMEC has been producing and shipping units in accordance with P-COM's
existing product design. REMEC is currently designing and producing units for
the second phase, which involves the re-design by REMEC of significant portions
(individual MFMs) of the unit. The third phase, which accounts for a substantial
portion of the orders, will involve a re-design by REMEC of the entire
point-to-point radio front end. REMEC's May 5, 1996 backlog contains $38.1
million of orders placed by P-COM, $8.0 million of which is scheduled to be
shipped in the last three quarters of fiscal year ending January 31, 1997. REMEC
produces the units based on a rolling six-month forecast provided by P-COM. The
agreement provides that all of the units will be delivered by June 1998. REMEC
has agreed to sell the products which are the subject of the agreement
exclusively to P-COM and not to compete with P-COM in the sale of point-to-point
radios under conditions applicable to both parties. REMEC faces the risk of cost
overruns if it fails to achieve forecasted product design goals and
manufacturing efficiencies in the production of point-to-point radio front ends
for P-COM. See "Risk Factors -- Reliance on P-COM; Customer Concentration and
Exclusivity" and "-- Risks of Cost Overruns and Product Non-performance."
55
<PAGE> 65
STM. STM sells complete VSAT network systems to foreign governments and
corporate entities to provide both voice and data communications over long
distance through use of satellite communications. In connection with the
acquisition of RFM from STM, REMEC received orders from STM for approximately
$20 million of VSAT transceiver products.
Defense. REMEC focuses its efforts on defense programs which it believes
have the highest probability of follow on production. Tactical aircraft,
satellites, missile systems and guided bombs comprise the majority of the
platforms of REMEC's customers. Defense industry programs from which REMEC
derives or may derive significant revenues include: the F-22 Stealth Tactical
Fighter Aircraft program for the U.S. Air Force for which REMEC is developing
switch amplifiers, switch filters, integrated switch modules, power amplifiers,
frequency generators, frequency converters and frequency multipliers for three
different RF subsystems (CNI, Radar and Electronic Warfare); the Airborne
Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) program for foreign military customers for which
REMEC has developed and produced a 28-channel switched filter bank and multi-
function components such as frequency modulators; the Advanced Medium Range Air
to Air Missile (AMRAAM) program for the U.S. Air Force for which REMEC has
developed and produced frequency multipliers, converters and filters; and the
radar warning receiver program (ALR 56M) for the U.S. Air Force for which REMEC
has developed and produced switch filters, notch filters, switches and filters.
REMEC sells microwave MFMs and components to prime contractors such as TRW
Inc., Hughes Aircraft, Westinghouse, Loral Corporation and Litton Industries. In
fiscal 1995 and 1996, sales to Hughes Aircraft accounted for 12% and 15%,
respectively, of total net sales. In fiscal 1995, sales to Loral Corporation
accounted for 15% of total net sales. REMEC through Humphrey sells inertial
guidance products primarily to defense prime contractors such as GEC-Marconi,
Texas Instruments, British Aerospace plc and Lockheed Martin Corporation. In
fiscal 1996, sales to GEC-Marconi accounted for 10% of total net sales.
Historically, most of REMEC's revenues have been derived from sales to the
defense market. Revenues for defense applications constituted approximately 96%,
92% and 88% of REMEC's revenues for each of the years ended January 31, 1994,
1995, and 1996, respectively. REMEC expects to continue to derive a substantial
portion of its revenues from the defense industry and to develop products for
defense applications. As a result, REMEC's sales could be materially adversely
impacted by a decrease in government defense budgets because of spending cuts,
general budgetary constraints or otherwise. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on
Defense Market."
BACKLOG
REMEC's backlog of orders as of January 31, 1995, January 31, 1996 and May
5, 1996 was $49.7 million ($3.6 million commercial and $46.1 million defense)
and $84.1 million ($43.1 million commercial and $41.0 million defense) and
$119.6 million ($61.7 million commercial and $57.9 million defense),
respectively. Of the $50.4 million backlog scheduled to be shipped during the
last three quarters of fiscal year ending January 31, 1997, $17.2 million is for
commercial customers and $33.2 million is for defense customers. REMEC includes
in its backlog only those orders for which it has accepted purchase orders.
However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales. A substantial
amount of REMEC's backlog can be canceled at any time without penalty, except,
in some cases, for the recovery of REMEC's actual committed costs and profit on
work performed up to the date of cancellation. For example, the government
terminated a large defense program in December 1992 for which REMEC had been
supplying in excess of $4 million of products on an annual basis. In addition,
purchase orders comprising approximately half of the current backlog set forth
product specifications that would require REMEC to complete additional product
development. A failure to develop products meeting such specifications could
lead to a cancellation of the related purchase order. A substantial portion of
the purchase orders comprising backlog at May 5, 1996 include product
specifications not yet achieved by REMEC. See "Risk Factors -- Reliance on
P-COM; Customer Concentration and Exclusivity," "-- Risk of Cost Overruns and
Product Non-performance" and "-- Backlog."

SALES AND MARKETING
REMEC uses a team-based sales approach to facilitate close management by
Company personnel of relationships at multiple levels of the customer's
organization, including management, engineering and purchasing personnel.
REMEC's integrated sales approach involves a team consisting of a senior
executive, a business development specialist, members of REMEC's engineering
department and, occasionally, a local technical sales representative. In
particular, the use of experienced engineering personnel as part of the sales
effort enables close technical collaboration with the customer during the design
and qualification phase of new communications equipment which, REMEC believes,
is critical to the integration of its products into its customers equipment.
REMEC's executive officers are also involved in all aspects of REMEC's
relationships with its major customers and work closely with their senior
management. REMEC utilizes manufacturers and sales representatives to identify
opportunities.
To date, REMEC has sold its products overseas with the assistance of
independent sales representatives. Sales outside of the United States
represented 1%, 13% and 16% of net sales in fiscal years ended January 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively. Sales outside of the United States are denominated
in U.S. dollars in order to reduce the risks associated with the fluctuations of
foreign currency exchange rates. The international sales do not include products
sold to foreign end users by REMEC's domestic OEM customers.
MANUFACTURING
REMEC assembles, tests, packages and ships products at its manufacturing
facilities located in San Diego, California. REMEC believes that process
expertise and discipline are key elements of successful high volume production
of microwave MFMs because of the precise specifications required. Since
inception, REMEC has been manufacturing products for defense programs in
compliance with the stringent MIL-Q-9858 specifications. REMEC believes that it
can readily bring to the commercial market the manufacturing quality and
discipline it has demonstrated in the defense market. REMEC received ISO-9001
certification from the Defense Electronics Supply Center in 1996 for its
microwave facilities. ISO-9001 is a standard established by the International
Organization for Standardization that provides a methodology by which
manufacturers can obtain quality certification. Although this certification is
not currently required by any of its customers, REMEC believes that it will be
beneficial to the acquisition of future business. To assure the highest product
quality and reliability and to maximize control over the complete manufacturing
cycle and costs, REMEC seeks to achieve vertical integration in the
manufacturing process wherever appropriate.
Historically, the volume of REMEC's production requirements in the defense
markets was not sufficient to justify the widespread implementation of automated
manufacturing processes. REMEC anticipates that increased sales of its products
to the wireless telecommunications industry will require a significant increase
in REMEC's manufacturing capacity. Accordingly, REMEC has begun to introduce
automated manufacturing techniques for product assembly and testing and is
currently planning to expand its facilities. REMEC expects to install automated
test and assembly equipment necessary for its current backlog by the end of
calendar year 1996.
REMEC attempts to utilize standard parts and components that are available
from multiple vendors. However, certain components used in REMEC's products are
currently available only from single sources, and other components are available
from only a limited number of sources. REMEC's reliance on contract
manufacturers and on sole suppliers involves several risks, including a
potential inability to obtain critical materials or services and reduced control
over production costs, delivery schedules, reliability and quality of components
or assemblies. Any inability to obtain timely deliveries of acceptable quality,
or any other circumstance that would require REMEC to seek alternative contract
manufacturers or suppliers, could delay REMEC's ability to deliver its products
to its customers, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on REMEC's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Despite the risks
associated with purchasing components from single sources or from a limited
number of sources, REMEC has made the strategic decision to select single source
or limited source suppliers in order to obtain lower pricing, receive more
timely delivery and maintain quality control. REMEC also relies on contract
manufacturers for circuit board assembly. REMEC generally orders components and
circuit boards from its suppliers and contract
57
<PAGE> 67
manufacturers by purchase order on an as needed basis. See "Risk
Factors -- Dependence on Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers" and
"-- Government Regulations."
COMPETITION
The markets for REMEC's products are extremely competitive and are
characterized by rapid technological change, new product development, product
obsolescence and evolving industry standards. In addition, price competition is
intense and significant price erosion generally occurs over the life of a
product. REMEC faces some competition from component manufacturers which have
integration capabilities, but believes that its primary competition is from the
captive manufacturing operations of large wireless telecommunications OEMs
(including all of the major telecommunications equipment providers) and defense
prime contractors who are responsible for a substantial majority of the present
worldwide production of MFMs. REMEC's future success is dependent upon the
extent to which these OEMs and defense prime contractors elect to purchase from
outside sources rather than manufacture their own microwave MFMs and components.
REMEC's customers and large manufacturers of microwave transmission equipment
could also elect to enter into the non-captive market for microwave products and
compete directly with REMEC. Many of REMEC's current and potential competitors
have substantially greater technical, financial, marketing, distribution and
other resources than REMEC and have greater name recognition and market
acceptance of their products and technologies. No assurance can be given that
REMEC's competitors will not develop new technologies or enhancements to
existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or
performance features or that new products or technologies will not render
obsolete the products of REMEC's customers. For example, innovations such as a
wireless telephone system utilizing satellites instead of land-based base
stations or a device that integrates microwave functionality could significantly
reduce the potential market for REMEC's products. REMEC believes that to remain
competitive in the future it will need to invest significant financial resources
in research and development.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses recorded by REMEC for the fiscal years
ended January 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 were approximately $32,000, $237,000 and
$1,582,000, respectively. Research and development expenses for the fiscal
quarter ended May 5, 1996 were $726,000. REMEC's research and development
efforts in the defense industry are conducted in direct response to the unique
requirements of a customer's order and, accordingly, are included in cost of
sales and the related funding in net sales. REMEC expects that as its commercial
business expands, research and development expenses will increase in amount and
as a percentage of sales.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
REMEC's products are incorporated into wireless telecommunications systems
that are subject to regulation domestically by the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") and internationally by other government agencies. Although
the equipment operators and not REMEC are responsible for compliance with such
regulations, regulatory changes, including changes in the allocation of
available frequency spectrum, could materially adversely affect REMEC's
operations by restricting development efforts by REMEC's customers, obsoleting
current products or increasing the opportunity for additional competition.
Changes in, or the failure by REMEC to manufacture products in compliance with,
applicable domestic and international regulations could have a material adverse
effect on REMEC's business, financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, the increasing demand for wireless telecommunications has exerted
pressure on regulatory bodies worldwide to adopt new standards for such
products, generally following extensive investigation of and deliberation over
competing technologies. The delays inherent in this governmental approval
process have in the past caused and may in the future cause the cancellation,
postponement or rescheduling of the installation of communications systems by
REMEC's customers, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on the sale
of products by REMEC to such customers.
REMEC is also subject to a variety of local, state and federal governmental
regulations relating to the storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation,
manufacture and disposal of toxic or other hazardous
58
<PAGE> 68
substances used to manufacture REMEC's products. The failure to comply with
current or future regulations could result in the imposition of substantial
fines on REMEC, suspension of production, alteration of its manufacturing
processes or cessation of operations.
Because of its participation in the defense industry, REMEC is subject to
audit from time to time for its compliance with government regulations by
various agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense
Investigative Service and the Office of Federal Control Compliance Programs. An
adverse finding in any such audit could adversely affect REMEC's ability to
compete for and obtain future defense business.
REMEC believes that it operates its business in material compliance with
applicable government regulations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
REMEC does not presently hold any patents applicable to its products. In
order to protect its intellectual property rights, REMEC relies on a combination
of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and employee and third-party
nondisclosure agreements, as well as limiting access to and distribution of
proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by REMEC
to protect its intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of REMEC's technology or to preclude competitors from
independently developing such technology. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that, in the future, third parties will not assert infringement claims against
REMEC or with respect to its products for which REMEC has indemnified certain of
its customers. Asserting REMEC's rights or defending against third party claims
could involve substantial costs and diversion of resources, thus materially and
adversely affecting REMEC's business, financial condition and results of
operations. In the event a third party were successful in a claim that one of
REMEC's products infringed its proprietary rights, REMEC may have to pay
substantial royalties or damages, remove that product from the marketplace or
expend substantial amounts in order to modify the product so that it no longer
infringes such proprietary rights, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on REMEC's business, financial condition and results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of May 5, 1996, REMEC had a total of 837 employees, including 567 in
manufacturing and operations, 141 in research, development and engineering
(including 34 designers and drafters, 12 manufacturing engineers, 6 quality
engineers and 89 electrical and mechanical engineers), 47 in quality assurance,
32 in sales and marketing and 50 in administration. REMEC believes its future
performance will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain
highly skilled employees. None of REMEC's employees is represented by a labor
union and REMEC has not experienced any work stoppage. REMEC considers its
employee relations to be good.

INFORMATION CONCERNING MAGNUM
Magnum is engaged primarily in the design, manufacture and sale of
electronic and microwave equipment and other electronic devices to customers for
military and commercial use.
INTRODUCTION
Magnum designs, develops, manufactures and markets radio frequency ("RF")
and microwave components and subsystems that are used in telecommunications
systems, avionics, test instrumentation and military electronics. Primary
markets include: (i) terrestrial-based point-to-point microwave radios; (ii)
satellite-based communications systems; (iii) avionics systems; (iv) RF and
microwave test equipment; and (v) defense electronics systems.
Magnum's components are offered in four basic product lines which include
frequency mixers, voltage controlled oscillators ("VCO"), dielectric resonator
oscillators ("DRO"), including phase locked stable sources for transmit and
receive functions, and cavity oscillators. Using its in-depth experience and
market knowledge, Magnum is able to rapidly translate customer needs into
products which are somewhat customized to specific applications.
Magnum markets its products worldwide to OEMs in commercial markets and to
prime contractors and subcontractors to the federal government in the defense
markets through a network of independent sales representatives managed by
Magnum's internal sales force. In Magnum's fiscal year ended March 29, 1996,
approximately 64% and 36% of Magnum's revenues were attributable to commercial
and defense customers, respectively. International orders constituted 22% of
orders received (including orders from two domestic exporters). Major customers
include the Farinon Division of Harris, Alcatel Network Systems, Hughes
Communications and Space, Rockwell-Collins, Bharat Electronics, Hitachi,
Hewlett-Packard and California Microwave.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS
Magnum's products are used primarily in the following markets: (i)
terrestrial-based point-to-point microwave radios used to carry voice, data, and
video signals; (ii) satellite-based communications systems for communications
and navigation; (iii) avionics systems used in aircraft to ground (and
satellite) communica-
64
<PAGE> 74
tions and air traffic control; (iv) test equipment for all (RF) and microwave
test applications; and (v) defense electronics systems including communications,
intelligence gathering, radar, and smart weapons. During Magnum's fiscal year
ended March 29, 1996 its largest 10 customers accounted for 60% of revenues as
compared with fiscal 1995 when a somewhat different group of its largest 10
customers accounted for 69% of revenues. In fiscal 1996, only Harris-Farinon
(18.5%) and Alcatel Network Systems (12.7%) accounted for more than 10% of
revenues. In the prior fiscal year only Harris-Farinon (30.7%) and Boeing
Aerospace (11.5%) accounted for more than 10% of revenues.
Terrestrial-Based Point-to-Point Microwave Radios
Microwave radio has for many years been the primary backbone of the world's
telephone systems transporting telephone traffic between cities and within
cities. Towers with microwave "dishes" mounted on them can be seen almost
everywhere in the world. Some stations simply "relay" the traffic by amplifying,
conditioning, and re-transmitting it to still another relay station. Others add
and drop traffic for local destinations or re-route the traffic to fiber-optic
or wire lines. As cellular telephone, data and video communications have shown
dramatic growth in recent years, microwave radios are in great demand to carry
all these services and to interconnect cellular stations with mobile telephone
switching office ("MTSO") where cellular calls are connected to the public
switched telephone network ("PSTN"). In under-developed countries it is often
simpler to install microwave radio communications than to install fiber or wire
connections which require excavation of streets, poles, permits, etc. In
addition, in the U.S., the FCC has decided that new wireless personal
communications systems ("PCS") will use frequencies currently occupied by
private microwave radio communications systems such as those used by large
corporations, railroads, pipeline companies and transportation companies. The
federal government has realized billions in licensing revenue for the PCS
services. It therefore legislated that the PCS licensees would have to aid those
that must change to other frequencies to purchase and install new microwave
radios. The number of new links needed is in the tens of thousands.
Magnum manufactures mixers and oscillators which are at the heart of the
transmit and receive functions of microwave radios. Most radios require two to
four Magnum sources. Newer digital radios must have extremely stable and
reliable signal sources since (i) they carry very high volumes of traffic using
complex modulation schemes and the slightest instability in the source can cause
the loss of thousands of conversations, data files or other traffic; and (ii)
these radios are located in unattended buildings often in remote areas where
maintenance is difficult and expensive.
Customers for Magnum's dielectric resonator and cavity sources and
microwave mixers for microwave radios include Harris-Farinon, Alcatel Network
Systems, and California Microwave, all world leaders in their markets. Magnum
believes that it maintains strong supplier relationships with these major
customers.
Satellite-Based Communications Systems
Satellite-based systems are increasingly carrying a larger portion of the
world's long-haul communications traffic. Large earth stations serve as
"space-ports" carrying large volumes of voice, data, and video traffic from
communications centers (telephone companies, TV and radio networks and defense
establishments) while smaller VSAT terminals connect corporations with their
branch offices and retail locations, serve in electronic news-gathering and
public utility command and control. Several consortiums are now working to
produce worldwide satellite telephone networks which will allow users to call
anywhere in the world from anywhere in the world using hand-held phones similar
to cellular units. The number of satellites in use and under construction
numbers in the hundreds.
Magnum markets its mixer, VCO, and DRO product to OEMs manufacturing both
the ground terminals (fixed and mobile) and the satellites themselves. Ground
terminal customers include Scientific Atlanta, California Microwave, LNR, Harris
Government Systems, SSE, Hitachi, and Continental Microwave. Hughes Space and
Communications is Magnum's largest space-qualified component company. Magnum
mixers are aboard INMARSAT spacecraft, AGRANI, INDIA-SAT, MIL-STAR, and TDRS and
Magnum is currently developing space-qualified VCOs for the ICO spacecraft.
65
<PAGE> 75
Avionics Systems
Both military and commercial aircraft are equipped with radio links used
for air-to-ground (and satellite) communications, passenger telephony, air
traffic control, navigation, and IFF (Identification, Friend or Foe). New
digital systems are being developed by the major OEMs and military
subcontractors. Magnum believes that this is a particularly active area of
defense spending as more secure, higher data rate radios are needed to insure
secure communications in the event of regional conflicts. All these systems can
make use of Magnum mixers and VCOs. Major customers of Magnum in this area
include Rockwell-Collins, Allied Signal Aerospace, Hughes Aircraft and Raytheon
Cossor.
RF and Microwave Test Equipment
Along with the market growth in communications systems comes the
commensurate need for test equipment. Magnum mixers and VCOs are purchased by
Hewlett-Packard, Wiltron, Rhode & Schwarz and IFR.
Defense Electronics Systems
RF and microwave components are at the heart of many military electronics
systems and in spite of the ending of the cold war, demand for components for
certain sectors of the defense market are increasing. This is especially true of
communications radios and smart weapons.
The Persian Gulf conflict proved that there were at least two systems
critical to winning regional conflicts and reducing casualties. These are secure
command and control systems and the use of smart weapons delivered from the sea,
air and ground. Most smart weapons such as missiles and smart artillery rounds
use a combination of radar altimeters, active or passive radar homing and
terrain mapping and clearance to reach their targets with precision. All of
these techniques employ RF and microwave components. Activity to upgrade
airborne electronic defense and jamming systems also continues, and Magnum is
developing VCOs for the new F-22 fighter systems.
Magnum produces components across all product lines for customers such as
Rockwell-Collins, Bharat Electronics, Hughes, Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed-Martin,
Raytheon, Textron Defense, Racal Defense, Thomson CSF, Dassault Electronique,
and Mitsubishi Electric.
PRODUCTS
Frequency Mixers
Mixers were Magnum's initial products. Magnum has an extensive library of
designs covering the RF and microwave frequency range from DC to 26 GHz. Over
200 models of mixers are offered in Magnum's Product Selection Guide while 140
new designs were created just last year to satisfy specific customer
requirements. Most mixers consist of a unique printed microwave circuit
containing a network of from four to eight microwave diodes. A variety of
packaging is offered for all applications including hermetically sealed,
connectorized units to open-carrier printed circuit types. Unit prices range
from $20 per device up to over $1,000 per device in the case of
space-qualification. The average selling price of mixers in Magnum's fiscal year
ended March 29, 1996 was approximately $150.
Voltage Controlled Oscillators
Magnum offers VCOs covering the frequency range from 25 MHz to 12 GHz. Most
VCO devices tune bandwidths of one octave or less using a DC tuning voltage
between 0 and 20 Volts. They are constructed on thin-film hybrid circuits using
chip transistors, varactor diodes, and capacitors which are bonded to the
circuit. The packages (surface mount, flat pak, TO-8, etc.) are typically
hermetically sealed. Defense products often require special screening and
testing. The demand for lower cost mass-produced VCOs for wireless
communications has evolved VCO designs that consist of discrete components
soldered to a teflon-fiberglass printed wiring board and assembled using
high-speed "pick and place" manufacturing equipment. Unit prices
66
<PAGE> 76
for Magnum VCOs for Magnum's fiscal year ended March 29, 1996 ranged from $15 to
$850 with an average unit price of approximately $175.
Dielectric Resonator Oscillators
DROs are produced in a variety of configurations. Free-running oscillators
consist of only a microwave oscillator, usually a "soft-board" or thin-film
hybrid circuit containing transistors, GaAs FETs and a dielectric "puck" that
acts as the resonant element. Electronically tuned versions add a varactor diode
to the oscillator circuit so that the frequency can be varied plus or minus a
few percent using a DC voltage. At the top level, phase-lock circuitry is added
to allow ultra stable operation using either an external or internally provided
crystal reference. These are sub-system type assemblies, and their manufacture
requires knowledge of both microwave, RF, and analog circuit design. Typical
prices for Magnum's fiscal year ended March 29, 1996 ranged from $300 to $1,500
per unit with the average selling price at approximately $850 per unit.
Cavity Oscillators
These are the technology predecessors of the dielectric resonator
oscillators. They are very similar to the DROs except use coaxial cavities for
the resonant element instead of dielectric "pucks". This is a mature product
line which serves the microwave radio and test equipment market with declining
new product. While sales of these products have declined and will continue to
decline, there is a large installed base requiring replacement service at high
margins for at least the next several years. Cavity oscillators sell for between
$400 and $2,500 with an average unit price currently about $1,000.
BACKLOG
Magnum's backlog of orders as of March 29, 1996 was approximately $3.4
million. Magnum includes in its backlog only those orders for which it has
accepted purchase orders which include delivery with firm delivery dates. In
addition to the firm backlog, as of March 29, 1996, Magnum had $3.5 million of
unreleased blanket orders. The majority of these blanket orders are expected to
be released within a 12-month period, and will be added to the firm backlog as
they are released. However, backlog is not necessarily indicative of future
sales. A substantial amount of Magnum's firm backlog can be canceled at any time
with negotiated cancellation charges which may only cover the actual committed
costs of the work performed up to the date of cancellation.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses recorded by Magnum for the fiscal years
ended April 1, 1994, March 31, 1995 and March 29, 1996 were approximately
$750,000, $792,000 and $692,000, respectively. Research and development expenses
generally relate to design and development efforts to meet specific customer
requirements. These expenses are often incurred in conjunction with Magnum's
marketing department to develop bids and proposals.
SALES AND MARKETING
Magnum, like REMEC, uses a team-based sales approach in domestic marketing
to manage and develop relationships with a customer's technical and
administrative personnel. Generally, an executive officer, a member of Magnum's
marketing department, one or more engineers and local sales representatives,
will comprise a team. Magnum has approximately 29 sales representatives.
International sales are generally handled through a network of 13 sales
representatives. International revenues, which accounted for 14% and 9% of
revenues in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, are generally denominated in
U.S. dollars to reduce exchange rate risk.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Magnum does not presently hold any patents applicable to its products. In
order to protect its intellectual property rights, Magnum relies on a
combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark laws and employee
67
<PAGE> 77
and third-party nondisclosure agreements, as well as limiting access to and
distribution of proprietary information. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by Magnum to protect its intellectual property rights will be
adequate to prevent misappropriation of Magnum's technology or to preclude
competitors from independently developing such technology. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that, in the future, third parties will not assert
infringement claims against Magnum or with respect to its products for which
Magnum has indemnified certain of its customers. Asserting Magnum's rights or
defending against third party claims could involve substantial costs and
diversion of resources, thus materially and adversely affecting Magnum's
business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event a third
party were successful in a claim that one of Magnum's products infringed its
proprietary rights, Magnum may have to pay substantial royalties or damages,
remove that product from the marketplace or expend substantial amounts in order
to modify the product so that it no longer infringes such proprietary rights,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on Magnum's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN
Magnum has made a substantial commitment to manufacturing capability, which
is evident in several areas of Magnum's manufacturing and design operations.
In an effort to reduce test time of complex broad band products and
increase engineering efficiency, Magnum has installed eight automatic test
stations driven by HP computers. These test stations have reduced the difficult
task of spurious testing to a fraction of the time previously required. All
engineers have in-office 486 work stations, which are utilized for computer
aided design of microwave circuits and a computer aided drafting system.
Both engineering and manufacturing are supported by the in-house materials
lab. In this lab, Magnum rapidly processes both thin film and soft board
circuits in small quantities. Once engineering completes the design layout, a
new mask and prototype circuit are produced in two to three hours. As a result,
the engineer can go through several iterations of a design, when necessary, in a
very short time. This allows Magnum to rapidly produce an optimized product for
the customer. The materials lab is also used for small volume production and is
responsible for developing special materials and cleaning processes as well as
evaluating new bonding materials.
COMPETITION
The markets for Magnum's products are extremely competitive and are
characterized by rapid technological change, new product development, product
obsolescence and evolving industry standards. In addition, price competition is
intense and significant price erosion generally occurs over the life of a
product. Magnum faces competition for its mixer and VCO products primarily from
component manufacturers and, to a lesser extent, from subsystem manufacturers
and OEMs. In its oscillator product line, Magnum faces competition primarily
from large wireless telecommunication OEMs and, to a lesser extent, from
manufacturers of components and subsystems. Magnum also faces competition from
semiconductor manufacturers which could integrate the type of components
supplied by Magnum into integrated circuits if the demand were sufficient to
justify the design and development expense. Magnum's future success is dependent
upon the extent to which these OEMs and defense prime contractors elect to
purchase from outside sources rather than manufacture their own components.
Magnum's customers and large manufacturers of microwave transmission equipment
could also elect to enter into the non-captive market for microwave products and
compete directly with Magnum. Many of Magnum's current and potential competitors
have substantially greater technical, financial, marketing, distribution and
other resources than Magnum and have greater name recognition and market
acceptance of their products and technologies.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 29, 1996, Magnum had a total of 84 employees, including 54 in
manufacturing and operations, 12 in research, development and engineering, 6 in
quality assurance, and 12 in sales marketing and administration.

DESCRIPTION OF REMEC CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of REMEC consists of 40,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "REMEC Common Stock"), and
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
REMEC COMMON STOCK
As of May 31, 1996, there were 7,802,979 shares of REMEC Common Stock
outstanding with approximately 300 shareholders of record.
Holders of REMEC Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted upon by the shareholders of REMEC. Additionally, cumulative
voting is permitted in connection with the election of directors so long as at
least one shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of
that shareholder's intention to cumulate votes. Subject to the preferences that
may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of REMEC
Common Stock are entitled to a ratable distribution of any dividends that may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. In
the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of REMEC, the holders of
REMEC Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities, subject to the prior liquidation rights of any
outstanding preferred stock. The Common Stock has no preemptive, redemption or
conversion rights. The outstanding shares of REMEC Common Stock are fully paid
and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of REMEC
Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of shares of any preferred stock which REMEC may designate and issue in
the future.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors of REMEC is authorized, without further shareholder
approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted
or imposed upon any unissued shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of
shares constituting any series and the designations of such series.
70
<PAGE> 80
The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of REMEC. The issuance of preferred stock could
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the
holders of Common Stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of the REMEC Common Stock. In certain
circumstances, such issuance could have the affect of decreasing the market
price of the REMEC Common Stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently
outstanding and REMEC currently has no plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
Wells Fargo Bank acts as transfer agent and registrar for REMEC's Common
Stock.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
REMEC, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of REMEC, Inc.
as of January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended January 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of REMEC, Inc. at
January 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and

REMEC, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business
REMEC, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of California in
January 1983. The Company is engaged in a single business segment consisting of
the research, design, development and manufacture of microwave and radio
frequency (RF) components and subsystems and precision instruments for control
and measurement systems. Historically, substantially all of the Company's sales
have been to prime contractors to various agencies of the U.S. Department of
Defense and to foreign governments. In May 1995 the Company incorporated REMEC
Wireless, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) to research, design, develop and
manufacture products based on microwave technologies for commercial customers.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes for the
three month periods ended May 5, 1996 and April 30, 1995 are unaudited but
include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods. The
results of operations for the three months ended May 5, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries Humphrey, Inc. and REMEC Wireless, Inc. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of six months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash
equivalents. The Company evaluates the financial strength of institutions at
which significant investments are made and believes the related credit risk is
limited to an acceptable level.
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Statement
No. 115 requires companies to record certain debt and equity security
investments at market value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are principally from U.S. government contractors,
companies in foreign countries and from one domestic customer in the
communications industry. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the
customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. The
Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market. In
accordance with industry practice, the Company has adopted a policy of
capitalizing general and administrative costs as a component of the cost of
government contract related inventories to achieve a better matching of costs
with the related revenues.
Progress Payments
Progress payments received from customers are offset against inventories
associated with the contracts for which the payments were received.
F-7
<PAGE> 88
REMEC, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from five to
thirty years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease period.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets in the accompanying balance sheets consist of goodwill
and a covenant not-to-compete recorded in connection with the acquisition of
Humphrey, Inc. These assets are being amortized using the straight-line method
over ten and two years, respectively. Amortization expense related to the
intangible assets totaled $173,962 for both fiscal 1995 and 1996.
In March 1995 the FASB issued Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,
which requires impairment losses to be recognized for long lived assets used in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows are not sufficient to recover the assets' carrying amount. Adoption of
Statement No. 121 on February 1, 1996 did not have a significant impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues on fixed-price long-term and commercial contracts are recognized
using the units of delivery method. Revenues associated with the performance of
non-recurring engineering and development contracts are recognized when earned
under the terms of the related contract. Prospective losses on long-term
contracts are recorded in the period when such losses are known. Loss provisions
are based upon the anticipated excess of inventoriable manufacturing costs over
the selling price of the remaining units to be delivered. Actual losses could
differ from those estimated due to changes in the ultimate manufacturing costs
and contract terms.
Research and Development
Research and development costs incurred by the Company are expensed in the
period incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB Statement No. 109 requires an asset and
liability approach in accounting for the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period using the
treasury stock method. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, common and common equivalent shares issued during the
twelve-month period prior to the initial public offering have been included in
the calculations as if they were outstanding for all periods presented using the
treasury stock method. In addition, the calculation of the number of shares used
in computing net income per share also includes convertible preferred stock,
which converted into 1,077,909 common shares upon the closing of the initial
public offering, as if they were converted into common shares as of the original
dates of issuance.

REMEC, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25,
because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option equals the
market price of the under lying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions about the future that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements. These estimates include assessing the
collectability of accounts receivable, the usage and recoverability of
inventories and long-lived assets and the incurrence of losses on long term
contracts and warranty costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes for
the three month periods ended April 30, 1995 and May 5, 1996 are unaudited but
include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods. The
results of operations for the three months ended May 5, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The Company's fiscal quarters end on Sundays with its fiscal year ending on
January 31. Interim quarters approximate 90 days, to accommodate the January 31
fiscal year end.
2. ACQUISITION
Effective January 31, 1994, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of
Humphrey, Inc. (Humphrey), a company engaged in the development and manufacture
of precision instruments for control and measurement systems. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the financial position and
operating results of Humphrey have been reported in the Company's consolidated
financial statements since the date of acquisition.
A summary of the Humphrey acquisition costs and allocation of the purchase
price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

REMEC, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
In January 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the 1995 Equity
Incentive Plan, under which 750,000 common shares are reserved for issuance
pursuant to stock options, restricted stock awards, stock purchase rights or
performance shares. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive and
non-statutory stock options. The exercise price of the incentive stock options
must at least equal the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant, and the exercise price of nonstatutory options may be no less than 85% of
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Stock Purchase Plan
Also in January 1996, the Company's shareholders approved the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) under which 250,000 common shares may be
issued to eligible employees. The price of the common shares purchased under the
Purchase Plan will be equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common shares
on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower.
Changes in Capitalization
In January 1996, the Company's shareholders approved an increase in the
authorized common stock of the Company to 40,000,000 shares, the creation of a
new undesignated class of preferred stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares and a
1-for-2 reverse split of the Company's common stock. Fractional shares resulting
from the split were settled in cash. All share, per share and stock option
amounts have been restated to reflect retroactively the reverse stock split.

Initial Public Offering
In February 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"IPO") of its common stock in which the Company sold a total of 2,264,893 shares
of common stock at $8.00 a share. Concurrent with the closing of the IPO, the
461,538 outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock and 257,069 outstanding
shares of Series B preferred stock were converted into 1,077,909 shares of
common stock. The Company's proceeds from the offering after deducting
underwriting commissions of $1,268,340 and expenses of $1,200,003 were
$15,650,801. In connection with the Company's IPO, certain shareholders also

RF Microsystems, Inc. ("RFM")
Effective April 30, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of RFM and certain other assets in exchange for cash consideration
of approximately $4,066,000. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to the
acquired assets and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16.
The estimated excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired of
$3,559,000 is being carried as intangible assets, including purchased
technology, and will be amortized over its estimated life of 15 years. The
Company's balance sheet as of May 5, 1996 reflects the acquisition of RFM.

Magnum Microwave Corporation ("Magnum")
On May 11, 1996, the Company entered into a plan of reorganization and
merger agreement with Magnum. Under the terms of the agreement, and subject to
the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Magnum's
common stock, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Magnum
common stock in exchange for approximately 1,081,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. The merger is to be accounted for as a pooling of interests;
accordingly, all of the assets and liabilities of Magnum will be carried forward
at their historical cost basis, and the operating results of Magnum will be
combined with those of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors
RF Microsystems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of RF Microsystems, Inc. as

equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 RF Microsystems was a division of STM Wireless Inc.
as of December 31, 1995 and engaged in material transactions with its parent.
The 1995 results of operations are not necessarily indicative of those that
would have been achieved by the Company had it operated on a stand-alone basis.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of RF Microsystems, Inc. at
December 31, 1995 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
RF Microsystems, Inc. (the "Company") designs and manufacturers microwave
systems and components and provides technical and engineering services under
contracts with the U.S. Government and its Agencies and prime contractors to the
U.S. Government in the areas of communications, navigation, electronic warfare
and data processing. Prior to April 30, 1996, the Company was a wholly owned
subsidiary of STM Wireless, Inc. ("STM" or "Patent").
On March 31, 1996, STM entered an agreement to sell the outstanding stock
of the Company for cash of approximately $4,000,000 to REMEC, Inc., in a
transaction to be accounted for as a purchase. This transaction closed effective
April 30, 1996.
The accompanying financial statements include the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows of RF Microsystems, Inc. on a historical
cost basis adjusted to reflect the accounts acquired by REMEC. These statements
include material transactions with STM primarily consisting of sales of
satellite transmission equipment totaling $2,330,000 under an agreement to
provide such equipment to the Company's Parent at approximately 15% above cost.
The Company anticipates sales of satellite transmission equipment to STM to
continue in the future. The 1995 results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of those that would have been achieved by the Company had it operated
on a stand-alone basis.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are principally from U.S. Government Agencies and
commercial customers in the communications industry. Credit is extended based on
an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and generally collateral is
not required.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in
first-out basis) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to
five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method
over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease period.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from government contracts are recognized under the
percentage-of-completion method, whereby contract costs are expensed as incurred
and revenues are recorded in proportion to costs incurred to date compared to
total estimated costs at completion. Estimates of total contract costs are made
by management and provisions for losses on contracts are made currently for the
total amount of losses anticipated at completion of contracts. Revenues from the
sale of commercial satellite transmission equipment to third parties and the
Company's Parent are recorded upon shipment.

RF MICROSYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company has been included in the consolidated federal income tax return
and state income tax returns of STM for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
through the date of its acquisition by REMEC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions about the future that effect the amounts reported in the financial
statements. These estimates include assessing the collectibility of accounts
receivable, the usage and recoverability of inventories and long-lived assets
and the incurrence of losses on long-term contracts. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
3. UNBILLED CONTRACT RECEIVABLES
Unbilled contract receivables in the accompanying balance sheet totaling
$129,000 consist of unbilled retainage on open contracts and amounts billable
upon completion of audits of prior years by the Defense Contract Audit Agency
(DCAA). Management anticipates that the DCAA audits will not be completed (and
the contract receivables billed) within one year from the balance sheet date and
therefore the $129,000 has been classified as a non-current asset in the
accompanying balance sheet.
4. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 1995:

5. NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK
The Company has a $600,000 (maximum) commercial working capital
line-of-credit agreement (the Agreement) with a bank which expires July 17,
1996. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by a $600,000 certificate of
deposit that the Company's Parent maintains with the bank. Borrowings under the
Agreement bear interest at a rate of 1.25% over the highest effective interest
rate paid on the certificate of deposit securing the note (6.9% at December 31,
1995) and interest is payable monthly. At December 31, 1995, the Company had
$600,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Agreement.
In connection with the acquisition of the Company by REMEC (Note 1) the
outstanding borrowings under the agreement were assumed by REMEC and re-paid in
May 1996.
6. COMMITMENTS
The Company leases office and production facilities under operating leases
through 1997. Facilities rent expense under operating leases in 1995 totaled
approximately $242,000. Minimum future obligations for non-cancelable operating
leases at December 31, 1995 are as follows:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Magnum Microwave
Corporation as of March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995, and the related statements
of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended March 29, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Magnum Microwave Corporation
at March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 29, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

MAGNUM MICROWAVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 29, 1996
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Magnum Microwave Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the state of
California on March 26, 1980 and was founded for the purpose of developing,
manufacturing, and marketing microwave components and subsystems for use in
telecommunications and defense applications both domestically and
internationally.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year
The Company reports on a fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to March
31.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.
Depreciation and Amortization
Property and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets of three to five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease term or its
estimated useful lives.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value for short-term investments is based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of the Company's notes payable is estimated using a
discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental
borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturity dates of ninety days or less and insignificant interest rate risk to be
cash equivalents.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective for the fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993. Under the new rules, debt securities that the
Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried
at amortized cost. Debt securities that the Company does not have the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities are
classified as available-for-sale or trading and are carried at fair value.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as
available-for-sale are carried as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as trading are
reported in earnings.
The Company adopted FAS 115 on April 2, 1994. The Company's investments
consist of U.S. Treasury bills. Presently, the Company classifies all
investments as held-to-maturity and carries them at amortized cost
F-27
<PAGE> 108
MAGNUM MICROWAVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
which materially approximates fair value. The adoption of FAS 115 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or its operating results for
fiscal 1995. All debt securities are included in short-and long-term investments
in the accompanying financial statements. Gross unrealized gains and losses were
immaterial.
Property and Equipment
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (FAS 121). FAS
121 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net
book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows
attributable to such assets. FAS 121 is effective for the fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. The adoption of FAS 121 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options (using the
treasury stock method). Fully diluted shares have not been presented as part of
the financial statements because the difference is insignificant.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock option plans and the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan in accordance with provisions of the Accounting Principles Board's
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion No. 25).
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (FAS 123). FAS 123 provides an alternative to APB Opinion No. 25
and is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The
Company expects to continue to account for its employee stock plans in
accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, FAS 123 is
not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
2. NOTES PAYABLE
In conjunction with the March 1993 common stock redemption (see Note 4),
the Company issued promissory notes as partial payment for the tendered common
stock of the Company owned by the holders of the notes. The notes were issued on
March 3, 1993 at an aggregated original principal amount of $1,006,919. The
notes bear interest at 5% per annum, mature on July 1, 1996, and may be prepaid
in whole or in part at any time without penalty, provided that all of the
outstanding notes are paid pro rata based on the total amount outstanding.
The indebtedness evidenced by the notes is senior to the liquidation and
other similar rights of existing and future common and preferred stockholders of
the Company but is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all of the Company's other secured indebtedness, as defined.
The terms of the notes stipulate that the Company may not incur total
outstanding liabilities of any kind, excluding these outstanding notes, in
excess of $4,700,000 unless waived in accordance with provisions contained in
the notes. Similarly, there is a restriction on the payment of cash dividends to
stockholders of the Company. The notes are secured by the shares of common stock
represented by the remaining principal amount of the notes. If in the event a
default occurs and remains uncured by the Company within a specified grace
period or the Company enters into a sale, liquidation, or merger in which the
Company is not the surviving entity (see Note 13), the noteholders can exercise
certain acceleration rights.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
3. LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
The Company has a revolving accounts receivable line of credit with a bank,
which is renewed and amended annually in September. Under the line of credit,
the Company may borrow up to a specified percentage of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined, with a maximum of $1,500,000. Borrowings bear interest
at prime plus 0.5% (8.75% at March 29, 1996). At March 29, 1996, there were no
borrowings outstanding.
The line of credit agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial
covenants. The agreement stipulates that the Company may not pay out dividends
or redeem stock to the extent it causes tangible net worth to fall below
$1,500,000. The terms of the agreement also limit the Company from making loans
to third parties and incurring additional indebtedness with the exceptions of
purchasing certain capital equipment and redeeming common stock, provided that
any debt incurred in conjunction with the redemption of stock be subordinated to
any obligations of the Company to the bank. The bank also holds a security
interest in all of the Company's assets.
4. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Redemption
During fiscal 1993, an offer to repurchase up to 39,500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.136857 per share was made by
the Company. A total of 37,106,272 shares was tendered and redeemed at a total
price of $5,078,253, of which $4,071,334 was paid in cash and $1,006,919 was
paid in promissory notes (see Note 2).
During fiscal 1995, the Company offered to repurchase up to 6,278,997
shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.21 per share. A
total of 4,420,736 shares was tendered and redeemed at a total price of
$928,354, all of which was paid in cash.
During fiscal 1996, the Company offered to repurchase up to 3,327,359
shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.20 per share. A
total of 3,942,513 shares was tendered, and per the terms of the offer, the
oversubscribed shares were also repurchased. The total amount redeemed was
$788,503, all of which was paid in cash.
In connection with all of the redemption offers, two major shareholders,
the Company, and senior management of the Company entered into agreements
designed to provide certain protections to these shareholders given that
management gained control of the Company upon completion of the redemption. The
agreements provide for and place limitations on cosale and copurchase rights
with regard to shares of the common stock of the Company, compensation of
management, and payment of dividends.
The Company has an employee stock option plan that provides for the
granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options to key employees,
directors, and paid consultants. Under the plan, options to purchase shares of
the Company's common stock may be granted at not less than 100% of fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors on the date of grant.
F-29

stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock options.
5. RETIREMENT PLAN
In 1989, the Company established a defined contribution 401(k) retirement
plan for substantially all employees. This plan allows participants to
contribute from 1% to 15% of their qualified compensation on a before-tax basis,
subject to applicable Internal Revenue Code limitations. The plan provides for
the Company to make a matching contribution to all participants who have elected
to make salary reduction contributions. The Company will match 25% of the first
7% of salary reduction contributions made by the employee up to the applicable
Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company made contributions to the plan of
$38,000, $55,000, and $53,000 for the years ended March 29, 1996, March 31,
1995, and April 1, 1994, respectively.
6. COMMITMENTS
The Company is committed under certain fixed, noncancelable operating
leases to make minimum rental payments relating to its leased manufacturing and
office facility. The lease expires in January 2001. Future minimum rental
payments are as follows:

7. CONCENTRATIONS
For the year ended March 29, 1996, two customers accounted for 18% and 13%
of net sales. For the year ended March 31, 1995, two customers accounted for 31%
and 11% of net sales. For the year ended April 1, 1994, one customer accounted
for 23% of net sales. For the year ended March 29, 1996 sales to defensive
customers approximated one-third of the Company's sales.
The Company relies on contract manufacturers and suppliers, in some cases
sole suppliers or limited groups of suppliers, to provide services and materials
necessary for the manufacture of products. Certain components used in the
Company's products are sole source items and would require significant effort,
time or design changes to develop alternative sources.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a company owned
by a director to provide consulting services to the Company. Charges for these
services were $25,000 and $5,000 in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In May 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to be acquired by
another company. The Company will become a 100% owned subsidiary of the
acquiring company. The Company and all of its employees will continue to operate
in San Jose. The acquisition is to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interest
whereby the Company will exchange all of its shares of common stock and
outstanding stock options for 950,000 shares of the acquiring company's common
stock. The Company plans to issue 2,800,000 shares of its common stock in a
private placement in order to meet the requirements to account for the merger
transaction as a pooling of interests. The acquisition is subject to shareholder
approval and is contingent upon qualification for treatment as a pooling
transaction.

Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of California immediately after

2.3 Conversion of Shares. In accordance with the Agreement of Merger and
subject to Section 2.5, each share of Magnum Common outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted, at or as of the
Effective Time, into .04684342 of a share of REMEC Common. However, each holder

of any fractional share of REMEC Common, shall receive in cash the fair market
value of such fractional share as measured by the REMEC Common Price. The 1,000
shares of common stock of RAC outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any
party, be converted at the Effective Time into 1,000 shares of Magnum Common.
2.4 Rights After the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the
Effective Time, each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which,
prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Magnum Common
shall be entitled, upon surrender of such certificate or certificates to REMEC

certificate affidavits therefor and indemnification in connection therewith) or

with cash in lieu of any fractional share of REMEC Common in an amount
calculated in accordance with Section 2.3.
2.5 Dissenting Shares. Holders of Dissenting Shares shall have those
rights, but only those rights, of holders of "dissenting shares" under Sections
1300 et seq. of the Corporations Code. Magnum shall give REMEC prompt notice of
any demand, purported demand or other communication received by Magnum with
respect to any Dissenting Shares or shares claimed to be Dissenting Shares, and
REMEC shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings
with respect to such shares. Magnum agrees that, without the prior written

voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
demand or purported demand respecting such shares.
2.6 Adjustments. Appropriate adjustments shall be made in this Agreement,

of Magnum Common shall be converted in connection with the Merger and which
shall be issued upon exercise of Magnum Options to be assumed by REMEC, in order
to reflect any recapitalization, reclassification, split-up, merger,
consolidation, exchange, stock dividend, stock split or similar event made,
declared or effected with respect to REMEC Common between the date of this
Agreement and the date such shares are issued.
2.7 Assumption of Magnum Options. At the Effective Time, REMEC shall
assume each Magnum Option then outstanding (provided that such options cover no
more than 147,000 shares of Magnum Common) upon the terms and conditions
contained or referred to in this Section 2.7. Without limiting the foregoing,
the assumption of a Magnum Option by REMEC shall not terminate any right of
first refusal or other restriction on transferability set forth in a Magnum
Option. After such assumption, REMEC shall issue, upon any partial or total
exercise of any Magnum Option, in lieu of shares of Magnum Common, the number of
shares of REMEC Common to which the holder of the Magnum Option would have been
entitled at the Effective Time had the holder exercised the Magnum Option to
such extent immediately prior to the Effective Time. The price per share of
REMEC Common to be paid upon the exercise of each Magnum Option assumed by REMEC
shall be adjusted so that the exercising option holder shall pay the same amount
for exercising a given portion of the Magnum Option assumed by REMEC that would
have been paid had that same portion of the Magnum Option been exercised before
the Effective Time. Only whole shares of REMEC Common shall be issued upon
exercise of a Magnum Option. A Magnum Option shall not be exercisable for a
fractional share unless it is exercised to the full extent of shares then
subject to it, in which case, in lieu of receiving any fractional share of REMEC
Common, the holder of the option shall receive in cash the fair market value
(determined under Section 407 of the Corporations Code) of the fractional share.
Employment by REMEC or any subsidiary of REMEC shall be deemed the equivalent of
employment by Magnum for
A-3
<PAGE> 117
purposes of exercising or terminating Magnum Options assumed by REMEC. The
assumption by REMEC of Magnum Options shall not give the holders of such options
any additional benefits which they did not have immediately prior to the
Effective Time. Nothing contained in this Section 2.7 shall require REMEC to
offer or sell shares of REMEC Common upon the exercise of Magnum Options assumed
by REMEC if, in the reasonable judgment of REMEC or its counsel, such offer or
sale might not be in accordance with applicable federal or state securities
laws. REMEC shall register, under the 1933 Act, the shares of REMEC Common to be
issued upon exercise of Magnum Options assumed by REMEC on Form S-8 no later
than 90 days after the Effective Time.

Shareholders of REMEC Common to a number of shares having a value as of the
Effective Time of less than 50% of the aggregate fair market value, immediately
prior to the Merger, of all outstanding shares of Magnum Common. For purposes of
this paragraph, shares of Magnum Common (a) with respect to which a shareholder
of Magnum receives consideration in the Merger other than shares of REMEC Common
(including, without limitation, cash received pursuant to the exercise of
dissenters' rights or in lieu of fractional shares of REMEC Common) and/or (b)

CORPORATION, a California corporation ("Magnum"), REMEC, Inc., a California
corporation ("REMEC") and Joseph T. Lee ("Employee").

wholly-owned subsidiary of REMEC with and into Magnum, pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization dated May 16, 1996 by and among REMEC, RAC and
Magnum. Employee owns a majority of the capital stock of Magnum prior to the
Merger which stock is being converted into shares of Common Stock of REMEC in
connection with the Merger. Prior to the Merger, Employee has been employed by
Magnum as its President and Chief Executive Officer. As part of the Acquisition,
Magnum will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of REMEC. REMEC has asked Employee
to continue his employment with Magnum as a subsidiary of REMEC after the Merger
to provide, for the term of this Agreement, the continued benefit of Employee's
experience in the business acquired in the Merger and to become an Executive
Vice President of REMEC.
AGREEMENT
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. DUTIES. (a) During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be
employed by and shall serve Magnum as its President and Chief Executive Officer
and REMEC as an Executive Vice President and Magnum and REMEC agree to employ
and retain Employee in such capacity or in such other capacity as Magnum and the
Board of Directors of REMEC may from time to time elect in the future provided,
however, Employee's duties may not be materially diminished or changed without
his consent. Employee shall be employed full time in such capacity and shall
devote all of Employee's business time, energy, and skill to the affairs of
Magnum and REMEC. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall report
directly to Ronald E. Ragland or Errol Ekaireb. Said duties shall be performed
at such place or places within Santa Clara County as Magnum shall reasonably
designate or as shall be reasonably appropriate and necessary to the discharge
of Employee's duties. Employee will duly, punctually and faithfully observe the
general employment policies and practices of Magnum and REMEC, including,
without limitation, any and all rules, regulations, policies and/or procedures
which Magnum and REMEC may now or hereafter establish governing the conduct of
its employees generally. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, so long
as Employee is employed as an executive officer of REMEC, he shall be nominated
as a director of REMEC.
(b) If Employee is elected or appointed a director of Magnum or REMEC or an
officer or director of any other subsidiary or affiliate of REMEC for any
periods during the term of this Agreement, Employee will serve in such
capacities without compensation in addition to that specified in Sections 2 and
3 hereof.

thirtieth day after the date first above written and shall continue until March

Employee performing Employee's duties with Magnum and REMEC on a full-time basis
for a period of sixty (60) consecutive business days, or for shorter periods

as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined
by a physician selected by Magnum or REMEC or their insurers, who is reasonably
acceptable to Employee.
2.3 Death. In the event of Employee's death during the term of this
Agreement, Employee's employment shall be deemed to have terminated as of the
last day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which
Employee's death occurred, and Magnum or REMEC shall pay to Employee's estate
accrued salary, pro-rated bonus, vested deferred compensation (other than
pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits, which will be paid in accordance
with the applicable plan), and all accrued vacation pay, all to the date of
termination, but no other compensation or reimbursement of any kind.

pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits, which shall be paid in accordance
with the applicable plan), and all accrued vacation pay, all to the date of
termination, but Employee shall not be entitled to any other compensation or

of duty.

Section 2, Magnum and REMEC shall have the right to terminate Employee's
employment without Cause at any time, but any such termination, other than as
expressly provided in Section 2.1 through 2.4 herein, shall be without prejudice
to Employee's rights to receive (in addition to all amounts due Employee in
connection with Termination For Cause) the Base Salary for the remainder of the
term and a pro-rated bonus pursuant to Section 2.6 for the year of termination.
In addition, upon a termination without Cause, the Option (as defined in Section
3.3) shall immediately become fully exerciseable with respect to all shares
covered thereby. If Employee is terminated without Cause, Employee may elect to
receive a lump sum payment representing the present value of the aggregate
unpaid Base Salary discounted to present value at a rate of five percent (5%)
per annum in lieu of the Employee's right to receive the base salary for the
remainder of the Term. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, the
appointment of any officer of Magnum senior to Employee, any requirement that
Employee report to any person other than Ronald E. Ragland or Errol Ekaireb, any
requirement that Employee relocate or spend the majority of his business time
outside the San Francisco Bay Area, any material reduction in Employee's
compensation, duties or responsibilities, or REMEC's failure to hold at least a
majority of the outstanding capital stock of Magnum shall constitute, upon
Employee's resignation within six months of such appointment, or imposition of
such requirement, as the case may be, a termination without Cause.
2.6 Payment of Prorated Bonus. If Employee's employment is terminated under
Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.5 then (i) the Employee shall only be entitled to
receive, on a pro-rated basis, the bonus described in Section 3.2 and amounts
under any other bonus plan applicable to Employee, and (ii) if the amount of
bonus payments due are not determinable until a future date (e.g., the end of
the fiscal quarter or year), then, notwithstanding
A-1-2
<PAGE> 139
any provisions hereof to the contrary, the payment of any such prorated amounts
of the bonus shall be made by Magnum or REMEC promptly upon the determination of
such amounts.
3. SALARY, BENEFITS, AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION.
3.1 Base Salary. As payment for the services to be rendered by Employee as
provided in Section 1 and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2,
Magnum or REMEC agrees to pay to Employee a base salary at the rate of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) per year, payable at the times and places as
Magnum or REMEC pays its payroll in general. Employee's salary shall be reviewed
(but may not be decreased) by the Board of Directors of REMEC on an annual
basis.
3.2 Bonus and Fringe Benefits. For the purposes of bonuses and fringe
benefits, Employee shall be deemed to be in the same compensation group (the
"Senior Management Group") as the Chief Executive Officer of REMEC, President of
REMEC, any and all Executive Vice Presidents of REMEC and other officers of
REMEC or its subsidiaries designated as members of the Senior Management Group
by the Board of Directors of REMEC. REMEC agrees that all members of the Senior
Management Group shall receive identical annual bonuses and fringe benefits
including without limitation, with respect to health, hospitalization, dental
and life insurance benefits, availability and amount of car allowance and
vacation, sick-time and leave policies, provided, however, that should all
members of the Senior Management Group not receive identical annual bonuses and
fringe benefits, Employee shall, during the term hereof, be entitled to (i) an
annual bonus equal to that received by the member of the Senior Management Group
receiving the highest annual bonus, and (ii) with respect to each category of
fringe benefits provided by REMEC or its subsidiaries to members of the Senior
Management Group, Employee shall be entitled to the most favorable benefits in
such category provided to any other member of the Senior Management Group.
Except as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, bonuses shall not be prorated. After
Employee is no longer employed by Magnum or REMEC, Employee may, at his election
and at his cost, elect to continue to be covered by the health, hospitalization,
dental, vision and long term disability and life insurance benefit plans of the
Senior Management Group.
3.3 Stock Option. Employee shall be granted a stock option (the "Option")
to purchase 30,000 shares of REMEC Common Stock, the price to be $ per
share which is the closing price of REMEC Common Stock listed on the NASDAQ
National Market System on , 1996. The stock option will be an
incentive stock option and shall be governed by the terms of REMEC's Incentive
Stock Option Agreement to be provided to employee ("Option Documentation").
3.4 Relocation Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, Magnum and REMEC may not require Employee to relocate his permanent
office outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. However, if Magnum or REMEC
requests that Employee relocate and Employee consents, in his sole and absolute
discretion, to such request, then Magnum or REMEC shall reimburse Employee for:
(i) all expenses actually incurred by Employee in connection with his
relocation, including travel, moving and storage expenses for Employee and his
immediate family and their household effects; and (ii) real estate commissions
incurred by Employee in connection with, at Employee's option, either the sale
of his current residence or the purchase of a new residence.
4. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.
4.1 Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 4, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
"Business" means the design, manufacture and sale of Products,
including the business of Magnum as currently conducted.

oscillators, dielectric resonator oscillators and mixers or any
substantially similar products.

services by Employee to Magnum and REMEC are of a special, unique, unusual,
extraordinary, or intellectual character, and that it is not feasible to

event of any breach hereunder, Magnum and REMEC shall be entitled, from a court
of competent jurisdiction and without posting bond, to full and complete relief
as a court of equity can then afford, in addition to all other relief and

EXHIBIT A
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
(1) If at any time REMEC proposes to file a registration statement
("Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") with respect to an offering of Common Stock
of REMEC (other than a Registration Statement with respect to an employee
benefit plan or an acquisition of the stock or assets of another entity), REMEC
will give written notice to Employee at least 20 days prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement under the Act. Employee shall have the right, by written
notice to REMEC within 15 days after the date of its notice to Employee, to
request REMEC to include in said Registration Statement up to the total number
of shares of REMEC Common Stock held by Employee at the time of the offering;
provided, however, that Employee agrees that any stock included in the
Registration Statement for his account may be sold in the same manner as other
securities which are included in the Registration Statement and agrees to pay to
the underwriters, commissions or discounts in respect of stock so included for
his account in the Registration Statement at the same rate as the commissions or
discounts to be paid to the underwriters by REMEC in the Registration Statement.
(2) Notwithstanding the above, REMEC shall not be required to include any
Common Stock in a Registration Statement for Employee, (i) if in the opinion of
REMEC's counsel, the Common Stock proposed to be included in the Registration
Statement may be publicly offered, sold and distributed without registration
under the Act or (ii) if the managing underwriter or underwriters advise REMEC
that in their judgment inclusion in the Registration Statement of all or a
portion of the shares of Common Stock requested to be included by Employee would
adversely affect the probability of a successful offering at the price which
would be obtainable if all or a portion of the shares requested to be included
by Employee were not included in the Registration Statement. The number of
shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration Statement for the
account of REMEC shall be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors of
REMEC. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise REMEC that the
inclusion in the Registration Statement of shares of Common Stock requested to
be so included for the account of Employee would adversely affect the offering,
then the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Registration
Statement by Employee shall be reduced proportionately so that the number of
shares included in the Registration Statement for Employee shall be equal to the
number of shares to be included in the Registration Statement for Employee and
other shareholders having similar registration rights multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Employee
as to which Employee has registration rights and the denominator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock of REMEC held by other shareholders with
similar registration rights who have requested that shares owned by them be
included in the registration statement. The number of shares of Common Stock to
be included in the Registration Statement for the account of REMEC shall not be
reduced. If there are other shareholders of REMEC whose shares may be included
in the Registration Statement, then the shares to be included by such other
shareholders shall be reduced or eliminated before any reduction in the shares
to be included by Employee, unless such other shareholders have registration
rights substantially similar to those contained herein, in which case the number
of shares to be included in the Registration Statement for the account of all
such shareholders who have requested to include shares in the Registration
Statement shall be reduced proportionately as described above. If such other
shareholders have registration rights senior to those provided herein, the
number of shares to be included in any Registration Statement by Employee shall
be reduced or eliminated before any reduction in the shares to be included by
the other shareholders.
(3) All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,
filing, processing, cancellation or withdrawal of the Registration Statements
referred to above, except underwriting commission and discounts and fees and
disbursements of any separate counsel (other than counsel also representing
REMEC) retained by Employee shall be borne by REMEC. Such costs and expenses
shall include all accounting and legal fees, blue sky fees and costs incurred in
connection therewith, and costs and expenses of REMEC's employees to the extent
that the financial statements and other information used in connection with the
Registration Statement are prepared by such persons.
(1)
<PAGE> 144
(4) In connection with any Registration Statement, REMEC and Employee shall
indemnify the other as follows:
(a) REMEC shall indemnify Employee and each person who controls (as
defined below) Employee and hold them harmless from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof),
joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Act or any
other statute or common law, and shall reimburse Employee and each person
who controls (as defined below) Employee for any legal or other expense
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
actions arise out of or are based upon failure by REMEC to comply with
applicable law in effecting the sales or other distributions of REMEC's
stock or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact made by REMEC contained in such Registration Statement (or any
post-effective amendment thereto) any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arising out of or based upon the omission or the alleged omission by REMEC
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided that this indemnity
agreement shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or actions arising out of, or based upon, any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission if such
statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to
REMEC by or on behalf of Employee or any person who controls Employee for
use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any
prospectus.
(b) Employee shall indemnify and hold harmless REMEC, each of its
directors and officers, the underwriters, and each person, if any, who
"controls" REMEC, as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the General
Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Act against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities, (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or
based upon failure by Employee or any person who controls Employee to
comply with applicable law in effecting the sales or other distributions of
REMEC's stock or any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact furnished by Employee or any person who controls Employee for use in
the Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto), any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon the
omission or the alleged omission by Employee or any person who controls
Employee to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon or in conformity with
any information furnished by Employee or any person who controls Employee,
and Employee shall reimburse any legal and other costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by REMEC or such directors, officers, underwriters or
controlling persons in connection with investigating or defending against
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this
paragraph, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but
the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under this paragraph. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel, other than the reasonable costs of investigation,
shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless the employment of
such counsel has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party, or
unless the indemnifying party has not fulfilled its obligation to assume
defense of the action with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party or
unless joint representation may result in a conflict of interest. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its consent, but if there is a settlement with the
consent of the indemnifying party or if there is a final judgment for the
plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
(2)
<PAGE> 145
party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(5) In the event any shares of Common Stock are offered or sold by Employee
in a distribution covered by a Registration Statement, Employee will (i) advise
REMEC in writing of any offer, sale or other disposition by him or any Common
Stock in any manner other than as set forth in the Registration Statement or any
prospectus included therein on or before the respective dates thereof; (ii) not
effect any stabilization activity in connection with REMEC's Common Stock; (iii)
not, until it shall have sold all of the Common Stock, bid or purchase for any
account in which Employee has a beneficial interest, any Common Stock other than
in transactions permitted pursuant to Rule 10b-6 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (if applicable); (iv) not, until Employee has sold all of his Common
Stock, attempt to induce any person to purchase any Common Stock other than in
transactions permitted pursuant to said Rule 10b-6; (v) not, until Employee has
sold all of his Common Stock, pay any compensation for soliciting another to
purchase any securities of REMEC; and (vi) execute, deliver and/or file with
REMEC, any underwriter under the Registration Statement and/or the Securities
and Exchange Commission, as well as any other federal, state or governmental
agency, such information, undertakings, representations, statements, and
agreements as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
implementation of the provisions hereof or any may be necessary or required
under the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including the Rules and
Regulations thereunder) or under any other applicable laws or rules and
regulations of any federal, state or governmental agency.
(6) The rights contained herein may be assigned by Employee, together with
the transfer of shares of Common Stock to any other person so long as such
transfer is made in conformity with the terms hereof, provided that REMEC is
given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after any such
transfer, stating the name and address of each transferee and identifying the
Common Stock with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned,
and provided further that said transferee agrees to hold all said shares of
Common Stock pursuant to all of the restrictions contained herein and in such
Agreement.

APPENDIX B
AGREEMENT OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT OF MERGER ("Agreement of Merger") is made as of
, 1996, between MAGNUM MICROWAVE CORPORATION, a California corporation
("Magnum"), and REMEC ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a California corporation ("RAC"),
which is a wholly owned subsidiary of REMEC, INC., a California corporation
("REMEC").
B A C K G R O U N D
Magnum and RAC desire that RAC be merged with and into Magnum (the
"Merger"), and that Magnum be the surviving corporation and become a wholly
owned subsidiary of REMEC pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
of Merger.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The Merger. Upon the filing (the "Effective Time") of this Agreement of
Merger and the related officers' certificates with the Secretary of State of the
State of California in accordance with the California Corporations Code, RAC
shall be merged with and into Magnum. Magnum shall be the surviving corporation.
2. Conversion of Outstanding Shares of RAC. The 1,000 shares of stock of
RAC outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of any party, be converted, at the
Effective Time, into 1,000 shares of Common Stock of Magnum ("Magnum Common").
3. Conversion of Outstanding Shares of Magnum Common. Subject to Sections
4 and 5 of this Agreement of Merger, each share of Magnum Common outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares which become
"dissenting shares" within the meaning of Section 1300(b) of the California
Corporations Code, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of the holder thereof, be converted, at the Effective Time, into 0.04684342
share of the Common Stock of REMEC. INC. ("REMEC Common"). Holders of shares
which become dissenting shares shall have all rights, but no other rights, of
holders of dissenting shares under Sections 1300 et seq. of the California
Corporations Code.
4. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of REMEC Common shall be issued
in the Merger. All fractional shares of REMEC Common to which a holder of shares
of Magnum Common immediately prior to the Effective Time would otherwise be
entitled shall be aggregated. If this aggregation itself yields a fractional
share, such shareholder shall be entitled after the later of the Effective Time
and the surrender, in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement of Merger, of
such holder's certificate or certificates which represented such shares of
Magnum Common, to receive the fair market value of such fractional share as
measured by the average closing price of the REMEC Common on the Nasdaq Stock
Market for the five trading days immediately preceding the Effective Time.
5. Rights After the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the
Effective Time each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which,
prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Magnum Common
other than dissenting shares shall be entitled, upon surrender of such
certificate or certificates to REMEC or to a designated exchange agent in form
suitable for transfer, to receive a certificate or certificates representing the
number of whole shares of REMEC Common to which they are entitled under Section
3 together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of REMEC Common in an
amount calculated in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement of Merger.
Unless and until any outstanding certificates which, prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Magnum Common, shall be so surrendered, no
dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of REMEC Common
as of any time subsequent to the Effective Time, shall be paid to the holder of
any such outstanding certificate, but, upon surrender of such certificate, there
shall be paid to the first record holder of the certificate or certificates
representing the REMEC Common issued in exchange therefor the amounts of
dividends or other distributions, without
B-1
<PAGE> 149
interest, which theretofore became payable with respect to the number of shares
of REMEC Common represented by the certificate or certificates so issued in
exchange. After the Effective Time, those persons who held shares of Magnum
Common immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have no rights with respect
to such shares other than those provided in this Agreement of Merger or as
provided by law.
6. Articles of Incorporation of Magnum. The Merger shall not effect any
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of Magnum.
7. Other Effects of the Merger. The other effects of the Merger shall be
as prescribed by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Magnum and RAC have executed this Agreement as of the
first date written above.

CHAPTER 13 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE
SEC. 1300 CORPORATE PURCHASE OF DISSENTING SHARES
(a) If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a
corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and (b) or
subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation
entitled to vote on the transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary
corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require
the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at
their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder which are dissenting
shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined
as of the date before the first announcement of the terms of the proposed
reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation
in consequence of the proposed action, but adjusted for any stock split, reverse
stock split, or share dividend which becomes effective thereafter.
(b) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shares" means shares which come
within all of the following descriptions:
(1) Which were not immediately prior to the reorganization or
short-form merger either (A) listed on any national securities exchange
certified by the Commission of Corporations under the subdivision (o) of
Section 25100 or (B) listed on the list of OTC margin stocks issued by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the notice of meeting
of shareholders to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and
Sections 1301, 1302, 1303 and 1304; provided, however, that his provision
does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any
restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any law or
regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to
any class of shares described in subparagraph (A) or (B) if demands for
payment are filed with respect to 5 percent or more of the outstanding
shares of that class.
(2) Which were outstanding on the date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were not voted
in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in subparagraph (A) or
(B) of paragraph (1) (without regard to the provisos in that paragraph),
were voted against the reorganization, or which were held of record on the
effective date of a short-form merger; provided, however, that subparagraph
(A) rather than subparagraph (B) of this paragraph applies in any case
where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent
rather than at a meeting.
(3) Which the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation
purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.
(4) Which the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in
accordance with Section 1302.
(c) As used in this chapter, "dissenting shareholder" means the
recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee of record.

SEC. 1301 NOTICE TO DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS; DEMAND FOR PURCHASE OF SHARES
(a) If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation
have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and
(4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their
shares for cash, such corporation shall mail to each such shareholder a notice
of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding shares (Section 152)
within 10 days after the date of such approval, accompanied by a copy of
Sections 1300, 1302, 1303, 1304 and this section, a statement of the price
determined by the corporation to represent the fair market value of the
dissenting shares, and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if
the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder's right under such sections.
The statement of price constitutes an offer by the corporation to purchase at
the price stated any
C-1
<PAGE> 151
dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, unless they
lose their status as dissenting shares under Section 1309.
(b) Any shareholder who has a right to require the corporation to purchase
the share-holder's shares for cash under Section 1300, subject to compliance
with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, and who desires the
corporation to purchase such shares shall make written demand upon the
corporation for the purchase of such shares and payment to the shareholder in
cash of their fair market value. The demand is not effective for any purpose
unless it is received by the corporation or any transfer agent thereof (1) in
the case of shares described in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (b) of Section 1300 (without regard to the provisos in that
paragraph), not later than the date of the shareholders' meeting to vote upon
the reorganization, or (2) in any other case within 30 days after the date on
which the notice of the approval by the outstanding shares pursuant to
subdivision (a) or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was
mailed to the shareholder.
(c) The demand shall state the number and class of the shares held of
record by the shareholder which the shareholder demands that the corporation
purchase and shall contain a statement of what such shareholder claims to be the
fair market value of those shares as of the day before the announcement of the
proposed reorganization or short-form merger. The statement of fair market value
constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares at such price.
History: Amended by Stats 1980 Ch 1155.
SEC. 1302 SHAREHOLDER CERTIFICATES OR NOTICE; TIME LIMIT FOR SUBMISSION
Within 30 days after the date on which notice of the approval by the
outstanding shares or the notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was
mailed to the shareholder, the shareholder shall submit to the corporation at
its principal office or at the office of any transfer agent thereof, (a) if the
shares are certificated securities, the shareholder's certificates representing
any shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase, to be
stamped or endorsed with a statement that the shares are dissenting shares or to
be exchanged for certificates of appropriate denomination so stamped or endorsed
or (b) if the shares are uncertificated securities, written notice of the number
of shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase. Upon
subsequent transfers of the dissenting shares on the books of the corporation,
the new certificates, initial transaction statement, and other written
statements issued therefor shall bear a like statement, together with the name
of the original dissenting holder of the shares.
History: Amended by Stats 1986 Ch 766 sec. 23.
SEC. 1303 AGREED PRICE; INTEREST; FILING OF AGREEMENTS; TIME FOR PAYMENT
(a) If the corporation and the shareholder agree that the shares are
dissenting shares and agree upon the price of the shares, the dissenting
shareholder is entitled to the agreed price with interest thereon at the legal
rate on judgments from the date of the agreement. Any agreements fixing the fair
market value of any dissenting shares as between the corporation and the holders
thereof shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, payment of the fair market
value of dissenting shares shall be made within 30 days after the amount thereof
has been agreed or within 30 days after any statutory or contractual conditions
to the reorganization are satisfied, whichever is later, and in the case of
certificated securities, subject to surrender of the certificates therefor,
unless provided otherwise by agreement.
History: Amended by Stats 1987 Ch. 766 sec. 24.
SEC. 1304 ACTION TO DETERMINE WHETHER SHARES ARE DISSENTING OR TO DETERMINE FAIR
MARKET VALUE
(a) If the corporation denies that the shares are dissenting shares, or the
corporation and the shareholder fail to agree upon the fair market value of the
shares, then the shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting
shares or any interested corporation, within six months after the date on which
notice of the approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152) or notice
pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, but
not thereafter, may file a complaint in the superior court of the proper county
C-2
<PAGE> 152
praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or the
fair market value of the dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any
action pending on such a complaint.
(b) Two or more dissenting shareholders may join as plaintiffs or be joined
as defendants in any such action and two or more such actions may be
consolidated.
(c) On the trial of the action, the court shall determine the issues. If
the status of the shares as dissenting shares is an issue, the court shall first
determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is an
issue, the court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial
appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.
History: Enacted by Stats 1975 Ch 682.
SEC. 1305 APPRAISER'S REPORT
(a) If the court appoints an appraiser or appraisers, they shall proceed
forthwith to determine the fair market value per share. Within a time fixed by
the court, the appraisers, or a majority of them, shall make and file a report
in the office of the clerk of the court. Thereupon, on the motion of any party,
the report shall be submitted to the court and considered on such evidence as
the court considers relevant. If the court finds the report reasonable, the
court may confirm it.
(b) If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make and file a
report within 10 days from the date of their appointment or within such further
time as may be allowed by the court or the report is not confirmed by the court,
the court shall determine the fair market value of the dissenting shares.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, judgment shall be rendered
against the corporation for payment of an amount equal to the fair market value
of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares which any
dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is entitled to
require the corporation to purchase, with interest thereon at a legal rate from
the date on which judgment was entered.
(d) Any such judgment shall be payable forthwith with respect to
uncertificated securities, and, with respect to certificated securities, only
upon the endorsement and delivery to the corporation of the certificates for the
shares described in the judgment. Any party may appeal from the judgment.
(e) The costs of the action, including reasonable compensation to the
appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as the
court considers equitable, but, if the appraisal costs exceeds the price offered
by the corporation, the corporation shall pay the costs (including in the
discretion of the court attorneys' fees, fees of expert witnesses and interest
at the legal rate on judgments from the date of compliance with Sections 1300,
1301 and 1302 if the value awarded by the court for the shares is more than 125
percent of the price offered by the corporation under subdivision (a) of Section
1301).
History: Amended by Stats 1986 Ch 766 sec. 25.
SEC. 1306 HOLDERS OF DISSENTING SHARES AS CREDITORS
To the extent that the provisions of Chapter 5 prevent the payment to any
holders of dissenting shares of their fair market value, they shall become
creditors of the corporation for the amount thereof together with interest at
the legal rate on judgments until the date of payment, but subordinate to all
other creditors in any liquidation proceeding, such debt to be payable when
permissible under the provisions of Chapter 5.
History: Enacted by Stats 1975 Ch 682.
SEC. 1307 DIVIDENDS ON DISSENTING SHARES AFTER APPROVAL DATE

shares after the date of approval of the reorganization by the outstanding
shares (Section 152) and prior to payment for the shares by the corporation
shall be credited against the total amount to be paid by the corporation
therefor.

SEC. 1308 RIGHTS IN DISSENTING SHARES PRIOR TO DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET
VALUE
Except as expressly limited in this chapter, holders of dissenting shares
continue to have all the rights and privileges incident to their shares, until
the fair market value of their shares is agreed upon or determined. A dissenting
shareholder may not withdraw a demand for payment unless the corporation
consents thereto.
History: Enacted by Stats 1975 Ch. 682.
SEC. 1309 TERMINATION OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDER STATUS
Dissenting shares lose their status as dissenting shares and the holders
thereof cease to be entitled to require the corporation to purchase their shares
upon the happening of any of the following:
(a) The corporation abandons the reorganization. Upon abandonment of the
reorganization, the corporation shall pay on demand to any dissenting
shareholder who has initiated proceedings in good faith under this chapter all
necessary expenses incurred in such proceedings and reasonable attorneys' fees.
(b) The shares are transferred prior to their submission for endorsement in
accordance with Section 1302 or are surrendered for conversion into shares of
another class in accordance with the articles.
(c) The dissenting shareholder and the corporation do not agree upon the
status of the shares as dissenting shares or upon the purchase price of the
shares, and neither files a complaint or intervenes in a pending action as
provided in Section 1304, within six months after the date on which notice of
the approval by the outstanding shares or notice pursuant to subdivision (i) of
Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.
(d) The dissenting shareholder, with the consent of the corporation,
withdraws the shareholder's demand for purchase of the dissenting shares.
History: Enacted by Stats 1975 Ch 682.
SEC. 1310 LITIGATION; SUSPENSION OF PROCEEDINGS
If litigation is instituted to test the sufficiency or regularity of the
votes of the shareholders in authorizing a reorganization, any proceedings under
Sections 1304 and 1305 shall be suspended until final determination of such
litigation.
History: Enacted by Stats 1975 Ch 682.
SEC. 1311 SHARES SPECIFYING AMOUNT IN EVENT OF MERGER OR REORGANIZATION
This chapter, except Section 1312, does not apply to classes of shares
whose terms and provisions specifically set forth the amount to be paid in
respect to such shares in the event of a reorganization or merger.
History: Amended by Stats 1988 Ch 919 sec. 8.

<PAGE> 154
SEC. 1312 ATTACK ON VALIDITY OF MERGER OR REORGANIZATION
(a) No shareholder of a corporation who has a right under this chapter to
demand payment of cash for the shares held by the shareholder shall have any
right at law or in equity to attack the validity of the reorganization or
short-form merger, or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside
or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of shares required
to authorize or approve the reorganization have been legally voted in favor
thereof; but any holder of shares of a class whose terms and provisions
specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to them in the event of
a reorganization or short-form merger is entitled to payment in accordance with
those terms and provisions or, if the principal terms of the reorganization are
approved pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202, is entitled to payment in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the approved reorganization.
(b) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is
directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another
party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not
apply to any shareholder of such party who has not demanded payment of cash for
such shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder
institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form
merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or
rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment
of cash for the shareholder's shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any
action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to
have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not
restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction except upon 10 days'
prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that
clearly no other remedy will adequately protect the complaining shareholder or
the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.
(c) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is
directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another
party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the
validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the
reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a
reorganization or short-form merger which controls another party to the
reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the
transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled
party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to a reorganization
shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as
to the shareholders of any party so controlled.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
a. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement by any person or party
who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
Registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
The Registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph; or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act as it is used in connection with an
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that for the purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
The registrant hereby undertakes that: (i) for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted
from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act
of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time
it was declared effective; (ii) for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-2
<PAGE> 158
b. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the
date of responding to the request.
c. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14, or
otherwise, that registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement of Form S-4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to REMEC, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4
(Registration No. 333-05343) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on June 6, 1996 (the "Registration Statement") for the purpose of registering
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended , 1,081,486 shares of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), to be issued in
connection with the proposed merger (the "Merger") of REMEC Acquisition
Corporation, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, with and into Magnum Microwave Corporation ("Magnum") pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated May 16, 1996 (the
"Agreement") and related Merger Agreement among Magnum, the Company and REMEC
Acquisition Corporation.
In connection with this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all
records, documents and instruments submitted to us as originals, the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to
the originals of all the records, documents and instruments submitted to us as
copies. We have based our opinion upon our review of the following records,
documents, instruments and certificates:
(a) The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company certified by
the Secretary of State of the State of California as of July 8, 1996, and
certified to us by an officer of the Company as being complete and in full
force and effect as of the date of this opinion;
(b) The Bylaws of the Company certified to us by an officer of the
Company as being complete and in full force and effect as of the date of
this opinion;
(c) A Certificate of the Secretary of the Company: (i) certifying that
copies of all records of proceedings and actions of the Board of Directors
of the Company, including any committee thereof, relating to the Merger
have been provided to us; and (ii) certifying as to certain factual
matters;
(d) The Registration Statement;
(e) The Agreement;
(f) Merger Agreement included as exhibit 2.1 to the Registration
Statement; and
(g) A Certificate of Wells Fargo Bank, Transfer Agent to the Company,
to the effect that, as of July 9, 1996, there were 7,813,523 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding.
This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of California, and we
disclaim any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We further
disclaim any opinion as to any other statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, order
or other promulgation of any other jurisdiction or any regional or local
governmental body or as to any related judicial or administrative opinion.
Based upon the foregoing and our examination of such questions of law as we
have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, and
assuming that: (i) the Registration Statement becomes and remains effective
during the period when the Shares are offered and sold; (ii) the currently
unissued Shares to be sold by the Company are issued, delivered and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement, the Agreement and the
Merger Agreement; (iii) the Merger Agreement is executed in the form
<PAGE> 2
contained in exhibit 2.1 to the Registration Statement; (iv) the shareholders of
Magnum approve the Merger; and (v) all applicable securities laws are complied
with, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued by the Company, will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Registration
Statement and is solely for your benefit. This opinion may not be relied upon by
you for any other purpose, or relied upon by any other person, firm, corporation
or other entity for any purpose, without our prior written consent. We disclaim
any obligation to advise you of any developments that come to our attention

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to, and our
being named under the heading "Legal Matters" in, the Registration Statement.

Re: Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated as of May 16,
1996
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to you in connection with the merger (the
"Merger") of Magnum Microwave Corporation, a California corporation ("Magnum"),
with REMEC Acquisition Corporation, a newly organized California corporation
("REMEC Sub"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of REMEC, Inc., a California
corporation ("REMEC"). The Merger will be effected pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization and Merger dated as of May 16, 1996 among Magnum, REMEC
and REMEC Sub. On the Closing Date of the Merger, REMEC Sub will merge into and
with Magnum, and Magnum will survive the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
REMEC. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder
thereof, each share of Magnum Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
consummation of the Merger will be converted into .046959196 of a share of REMEC
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share.
You have requested our opinion with respect to the material, federal income
tax consequences of the Merger. We have reviewed the Prospectus/Proxy Statement
of Magnum and REMEC (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as part of REMEC's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the
"Registration Statement") and have made such additional legal and factual
inquiries and examinations as we have deemed necessary for rendering this
opinion. We have relied upon the Registration Statement with respect to the
accuracy of factual matters contained therein. We have also relied on (i) the
accuracy of the representations and warranties and on the covenants made by the
parties to the Agreement and in particular on the representations and covenants
relating to the tax-free nature of the Merger set forth in Sections 3.34, 4.13
and 8.7 of the Agreement and (ii) continuity of interest certificates to be
executed by the holders of 1% or more of the Common Stock of Magnum.
Based on the foregoing and the existing state of the law, we hereby confirm
our opinions as set forth under the caption "The Merger -- United States Federal
Income Tax Consequences" in the Proxy Statement.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use
of our name under the heading "The Merger -- United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences" and "Legal Matters" in the Proxy Statement.
Very truly yours,
