NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by REMEC, Inc. (the "Company" or "REMEC") without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements, have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations;
nevertheless, management of REMEC believes that the disclosures herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended January 31, 1999 included in REMEC's Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, the condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
to present fairly the consolidated financial position of REMEC as of
July 30, 1999 and the results of its operations for the three and six
months periods ended July 30, 1999 and July 31, 1998. The results of
operations for the interim period ended July 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be reported for any
other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
On April 29, 1999, REMEC acquired Airtech plc in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, REMEC's
consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to this
acquisition have been restated to include Airtech's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
During 1998, REMEC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 ("SFAS No. 131"),
"Segment Information." SFAS 130 requires that all components of
comprehensive income, including net income, be reported in the
financial statements in the period in which they are recognized.
Comprehensive income is defined as a change in equity during a period
from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
sources. Net income and other comprehensive income, including foreign
currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on
investments, are required to be reported, net of their related tax
effect, to arrive at comprehensive income. REMEC's comprehensive income
is not materially different from net income. SFAS No. 131 amends the
requirements for public enterprises to report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable operating segments. Operating
segments, as defined in SFAS No. 131, are components of an enterprise
for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated
regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The financial information is required to be
reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating this
segment performance. REMEC operates in one business and operating
segment only, and therefore adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on REMEC's financial statements.
The statements in this report on Form 10-Q that relate to future plans,
events or performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially due to a variety of factors, including 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 other
factors and considerations described in REMEC's Annual Report on Form
10-K/A as amended, and the other documents REMEC files from time to
time with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. Other than as required by applicable law, REMEC undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

2. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share are determined based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per common share include the weighted average number of shares
outstanding and give effect to potentially dilutive common shares such
as options outstanding. Both the basic and diluted loss per common
share for the three and six months ended July 30, 1999 and July 31,
1998 are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Potentially dilutive securities include
options outstanding; however, such securities have not been included in
the calculation of the diluted loss per share as their effect is
antidilutive. Since such securities are antidilutive, there is no
difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for the
periods presented.
3. INVENTORIES

respectively.
4. ACQUISITIONS
AIRTECH PLC ("AIRTECH")
On April 29, 1999, REMEC acquired Airtech, a United Kingdom - based
manufacturer of coverage enhancement products for wireless mobile
communications networks, in exchange for approximately 1.7 million
shares of REMEC's common stock. Prior to the combination, Airtech's
fiscal year ended on December 31, 1998. In recording the business
combination, Airtech's financial statements for the three and six month
periods ended July 30, 1999 were combined with REMEC's for the same
periods. Airtech's statements of operations and cash flows for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were combined with REMEC's for
the three and six months ended July 31, 1998. Airtech's balance sheet
as of December 31, 1998 was combined with REMEC's as of January 31,
1999.
Included in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended July 30, 1999 are costs of approximately $3.0 million related to
the acquisition of Airtech. These costs are comprised primarily of
professional fees and other transaction costs associated with the
merger.

WACOM PRODUCTS, INC. ("WACOM PRODUCTS").
In March 1999, REMEC formed a limited partnership, REMEC WACOM, L.P.
(REMEC WACOM), for the purpose of acquiring WACOM Products, a
manufacturer of commercial radio frequency filters for specialized
communications applications. On March 29, 1999, REMEC WACOM acquired
the assets and assumed all of the obligations of WACOM Products, in
exchange for cash consideration of $6,850,000. 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 ("APB") No. 16. The estimated
excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired of $1,867,000
is being carried as intangible assets, and will be amortized over 8
years. REMEC's consolidated financial statements include the results of
REMEC WACOM from March 29, 1999 forward.
Assuming that the acquisition of WACOM Products had occurred on
February 1, 1998, pro forma condensed consolidated results of
operations would be as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

SMARTWAVES INTERNATIONAL ("SMARTWAVES")
On February 12, 1999, REMEC acquired the assets of Smartwaves in
exchange for cash consideration of $200,000 and 30,000 shares of
REMEC's common stock with a fair value of $540,000. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the total purchase
price has been allocated to the acquired assets at their estimated fair
values in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 16. The pro forma
results of operations of REMEC and Smartwaves assuming that Smartwaves
was acquired on February 1, 1998 would not be materially different than
reported results.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S 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 multifunction modules ("MFM's") for
microwave transmission systems used in defense applications and the
commercial wireless telecommunications industry. REMEC's consolidated results
of operations include the operations of REMEC Microwave, Inc. ("Microwave"),
REMEC Wireless, Inc. ("Wireless"), Humphrey, Inc. ("Humphrey"), REMEC Magnum,
Inc., ("Magnum"), REMEC Veritek, Inc. ("Veritek"), REMEC CSH, Inc. ("REMEC
CSH"), REMEC Q-bit, Inc. ("Qbit"), REMEC Nanowave, Inc. ("Nanowave"), REMEC
WACOM L.P. ("REMEC WACOM"), REMEC Airtech Ltd., ("Airtech") and REMEC, Inc.
S.A., ("REMEC Costa Rica").
On April 29, 1999, REMEC acquired the outstanding shares of Airtech
in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, all
accompanying historical financial statement information has been restated to
include Airtech's operations, assets and liabilities.
In March 1999, REMEC acquired WACOM Products in a transaction
accounted for as a purchase. The condensed consolidated statements of income
and cash flows for the six month period ended July 30, 1999 include REMEC
WACOM's results of operations from March 29, 1999. REMEC's July 30, 1999
balance sheet includes REMEC WACOM's assets and liabilities.
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 REMEC funded research and development expenses related to defense
programs have been minimal. As REMEC's commercial business has expanded,
research and development expenses have generally increased in amount and as a
percentage of sales. REMEC expects this trend to continue, although research
and development expenses may fluctuate on a quarterly basis both in amount
and as a percentage of sales.
Currently, REMEC derives significant revenues from a limited group
of customers and expects that it will continue to do so in the immediate
future. In certain circumstances, customers place purchase orders but release
quantities incrementally against those purchase orders, subject to an agreed
period of performance. At the time a purchase order is placed, REMEC records
the entire amount of the purchase order as backlog, even if the customer
releases quantities incrementally against the purchase order. An amount of
REMEC's backlog with these customers can be canceled at any time generally
without substantial penalties. As a result, any cancellation, reduction or
delay in orders by or delays in shipments to any significant customer may
have a material adverse effect on REMEC's business, financial condition and
results of operations. For example, REMEC's results of operations beginning
in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 have been adversely affected by the
significant decline in commercial revenues from their level for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999. This decline in commercial revenues was primarily
attributable to requests by certain customers to delay deliveries of
previously announced requirements. REMEC believes that some of the past
customer delays were attributable to economic difficulties in the Asian
markets or other international markets in which REMEC's customers operate,
and to the increased competition among the participants in those markets.
There can be no assurance that similar delays will not recur in the future.
REMEC has also experienced continued pricing pressure on follow-on orders for
existing defense programs on which REMEC participates, and REMEC anticipates
that there will be fewer available defense programs to which it can market
its products in the future. Failure of REMEC 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, may have a material adverse effect on REMEC's business,
financial condition or results of operations.

</TABLE>
NET SALES. Net sales were $47.3 million and $90.5 million for the
three and six month periods ended July 30, 1999, representing an increase of
$3.0 million or 7% and a decrease of $4.5 million or 5%, respectively, over
the prior year periods. The fluctuations in sales during the three and six
month periods ended July 30, 1999 was primarily due to fluctuations in demand
from REMEC's commercial customers.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit was $9.9 million and $20.6 million for
the three and six month periods ended July 30, 1999, representing increases
of $5.5 million or 125% and $.6 million or 3%, respectively, over the prior
year periods. Gross margins were 21% and 23% for the three and six month
periods ended July 30, 1999, compared with 10% and 21%, respectively, for the
comparable prior year periods. Gross profits for the three and six month
periods ended July 31, 1998 were adversely affected by costs associated with
REMEC's Airtech subsidiary's MHA warranty upgrade program. The improvement in
gross margins in the current fiscal year is primarily attributable to the
reduction of such costs.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses ("SG &A") were $10.4 million and $19.5 million for
the three and six month periods ended July 30, 1999, representing decreases
of $.7 million or 7% and $.5 million or 2%, respectively, over the comparable
prior year periods. The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to a
decrease in accounting and legal expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
were $3.1 million and $6.6 million for the three and six month periods ended
July 30, 1999, representing increases of $.5 million or 20% and $1.6 million
or 33%, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. These
expenditures are almost entirely attributable to the commercial wireless
business and reflect activity associated with new product development.
TRANSACTION COSTS. REMEC's results of operations for the six months
ended July 30, 1999 include $3.1 million of transaction costs associated with
REMEC's acquisition of Airtech and the terminated acquisition of STM
Wireless, Inc. There were no similar costs in the comparable prior year
period.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income was $.6 million and $1.2 million
for the three and six month periods ended July 30, 1999 representing
decreases of $.2 million or 25% and $.2 million or 13%, respectively, over
the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in interest income was due to
a decrease in the level of cash available for investing.
-10-
<PAGE>
PROVISION (CREDIT) FOR INCOME TAXES. REMEC reported a credit for
income taxes of $1.1 million for the six months ended July 30, 1999 as
compared to income tax expense of $.7 million recognized during the
comparable prior year period. The credit reflects recognition of the tax
benefit associated with REMEC's domestic operating losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At July 30, 1999, REMEC had $109.9 million of working capital, which
included cash and cash equivalents totaling $59.5 million. REMEC also has
$13.0 million available under two credit facilities consisting of a $9.0
million revolving working capital line of credit and a $4.0 million revolving
term loan. The borrowing rate under both credit facilities is based on a
fixed spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The revolving
working capital line of credit terminates July 3, 2000. The revolving period
under the term loan expires July 1, 2000, at which time any loan amount
outstanding converts to a term loan to be fully amortized and paid in full by
January 2, 2004. As of July 30, 1999, there were no borrowings outstanding
under REMEC's credit facilities.
During the six month period ended July 30, 1999, net cash provided
by operations totaled $1.6 million as a $4.0 million increase in trade
receivables and inventories was offset by a $4.9 million increase in trade
accounts payable and other accrued expenses. The increase in trade
receivables during this period was primarily due to the increase in sales
from the previous quarter and an increase in the length of time that
customers were taking to pay invoices. The increase in inventories (and trade
accounts payable) was due to the need to support anticipated future sales
growth. Other accrued expenses increased as a result of the establishment of
reserves for the anticipated costs of certain litigation and product warranty
costs.
Investing activities required $31.5 million during the six months
ended July 30, 1999, primarily as a result of $16.1 million in capital
expenditures, $5.8 million (net of cash acquired) paid in connection with the
acquisition of WACOM Products and the assets of Smartwaves International, and
a $9.6 million increase in other assets (which was primarily comprised of a
$4.6 million investment in a unconsolidated company and a $5.0 million loan
to this company). The bulk of the capital expenditures were associated with
the expansion of REMEC's commercial wireless telecommunications business. The
above expenditures were financed primarily by cash on hand. REMEC's future
capital expenditures may continue to be significant as a result of commercial
wireless telecommunications expansion requirements. Financing activities
generated approximately $6.6 million during the six month period ended July
30, 1999, principally as a result of the proceeds borrowed under credit
facilities, net of repayments, and net proceeds of $2.0 million generated by
the issuance of shares in connection with REMEC's Employee Stock Purchase
Plan and from exercises of stock options.
REMEC's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including the nature and timing of orders by OEM customers, the progress of
REMEC's research and development efforts, expansion of REMEC's marketing and
sales efforts, and the status of competitive products.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
GENERAL. Many currently available installed computer systems and
software products are coded to accept only two digit entries to represent
years. These date-sensitive systems, products and equipment may not be able
to accurately recognize the year 2000. As a result, these systems, products
and equipment may need to be upgraded or replaced in order to become year
2000 ready.
REMEC's Vice President of Information Technology is responsible for
coordinating REMEC's efforts relating to year 2000 readiness. These efforts
include the following phases: (i) identification of potential year 2000
problems; (ii) assessment of the potential impact on and risks to REMEC's
business; (iii) determination of specific solutions; (iv) implementation of
solutions; and (v) evaluation of all of the foregoing. The Vice President of
Information Technology reports to REMEC's President and Chief Operating
Officer on these matters. In addition, REMEC's Audit Committee and Board of
Directors provides supervisorial oversight of REMEC's efforts relating to
year 2000 readiness.

MANUFACTURING. REMEC utilizes various tools and equipment in
connection with the manufacture of its products which may have embedded
technology that is date sensitive. REMEC is testing substantially all of its
critical tools and equipment currently being utilized by REMEC in the
manufacture of its products, and continues to monitor year 2000 readiness in
this area. Based on its efforts to date, REMEC believes that its critical
tools and equipment will be year 2000 ready on or before December 31, 1999.
As a result, REMEC currently does not anticipate significant interruption of
its manufacturing capabilities due to the failure of its tools and equipment
to be year 2000 ready.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS. The Company has various internal financial
information and reporting systems, human resources and payroll applications,
procurement requirements, customer billing applications, manufacturing
monitoring systems, communications systems, desktop computers and computer
networks. The Company is testing all of these internal systems and
applications and upgrading or replacing software and hardware where needed.
Based on its efforts to date, the Company currently does not anticipate
significant interruption of its operations due to the failure of its
information systems to be year 2000 ready.
In addition to testing existing information systems for year 2000
compliance, the Company is phasing in the installation of a new management
information system which will be used by the Company and many of its
operating subsidiaries in connection with internal financial information and
reporting, production planning and manufacturing monitoring and procurement
requirements. The purchase and installation of this system is estimated to
cost approximately $2.0 million and will be paid for by the Company out of
existing funds when installed at the various Company facilities. Although
this system is not being purchased exclusively to address year 2000
compliance issues, this management information system is certified by the
manufacturer to be year 2000 compliant. This system has been implemented in
three of the Company's subsidiaries and is in the process of being
implemented in two additional subsidiaries. The information systems in place
at three of REMEC's remaining subsidiaries have also been upgraded to year
2000 compliance at a cost of approximately $250,000. REMEC recently completed
the acquisition of Airtech plc and WACOM Products. REMEC has conducted year
2000 surveys at these subsidiaries and is in the process making the necessary
changes to ensure year 2000 compliance. All year 2000 compliance activities
will be completed prior to December 31, 1999.
FACILITIES. REMEC is also testing all of its facilities and
infrastructure systems, including the heating/ventilation/air conditioning
(HVAC) systems, security systems and health, safety and environment systems
at each of its facilities. REMEC currently has manufacturing operations or
management personnel in thirteen leased or Company-owned facilities. Based on
its efforts to date, REMEC currently does not anticipate significant
interruption of its operations due to the failure of its facilities and
infrastructure systems to be year 2000 ready.
SUPPLIERS. REMEC is implementing a system to monitor the year 2000
readiness of its suppliers. The system will include awareness/notification
letters, warranties and a review of suppliers' web-site statements regarding
year 2000 readiness. If a supplier is identified as having a high risk of
year 2000 non-readiness, REMEC will develop alternative sourcing plans to
minimize the year 2000 risks.
COSTS. REMEC estimates that the aggregate costs for its year 2000
readiness program incurred by REMEC to date and anticipated to be incurred by
REMEC through December 31, 1999 is approximately $400,000. Through August,
1999, REMEC estimates that it has incurred approximately $350,000 on internal
and external costs relating to its year 2000 readiness program. No
information technology or other capital expenditure projects have been
delayed due to REMEC's year 2000 efforts and the costs relating thereto.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: CONTINGENCY PLAN. The most reasonably likely
worst case year 2000 scenario which may affect REMEC is a significant
disruption in the business operations of REMEC's customers due to year 2000
problems. REMEC manufacturers components and systems for commercial customers
and various government agencies. To the extent that the customers' business
is disrupted by year 2000 problems, these customers may be unable to purchase
or pay for REMEC's products which may have a material adverse effect on
REMEC's business, financial condition and results of operation.

UNCERTAINTIES. The above-description of REMEC's year 2000 efforts
contains forward-looking statements, including: the expected state of
readiness of REMEC's manufacturing equipment, information systems and
facilities; the future impact on REMEC's business, financial condition and
results of operation due to its year 2000 readiness; the anticipated state of
readiness of REMEC's suppliers; the estimated costs associated with REMEC's
year 2000 readiness program; and REMEC's most reasonably likely worst case
scenario. There are many factors that could cause REMEC's actual results to
differ materially from those year 2000 related forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that could effect the anticipated impact of
REMEC's year 2000 readiness include the availability and cost of personnel
trained in this area, the ability of REMEC personnel, vendors, customers and
suppliers to locate and correct all relevant computer codes; the reliability
of statements of third parties (customers, suppliers and vendors) regarding
their own year 2000 readiness; and similar uncertainties. In addition, the
anticipated costs of any year 2000 modifications are based on management's
best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future
events. Many of these factors and assumptions are beyond REMEC's control and
no assurances can be given that REMEC, its suppliers and customers will be
able to resolve all of their year 2000 readiness problems in a timely manner
to avoid a material adverse effect on REMEC's business, financial condition
or results of operations.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. On April 19, 1999, a class action lawsuit was
filed against REMEC, certain of its officers and directors and the investment
bankers who served as co-lead underwriters in REMEC's February 1998 public
offering. The lawsuit was filed by the law firm Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes and
Lerach and two of its co-counsel in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California as counsel for Charles Vezzetti and all others
similarly situated. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 by REMEC and the other defendants between December 1, 1997 and June
12, 1998. The complaints in the lawsuit do not specify an amount of claimed
damages. REMEC believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend
against it vigorously. In addition, REMEC believes the ultimate resolution will
not have a material adverse effect on REMEC's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity. However, there can be no assurance that an adverse
result would not have a material adverse effect on REMEC.
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
REMEC is exposed to changes in interest rates to the extent of its
borrowings under its revolving working capital line of credit and revolving term
loan. At July 30, 1999, REMEC had no borrowings under these credit facilities
and, therefore, no exposure to interest rate movement on its debt. REMEC also
will be affected by changes in interest rates in its investments in certain
held-to-maturity securities. Under its current policies, REMEC does not use
interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate
changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates in REMEC's
held-to-maturity securities would not materially effect the fair value of these
securities at July 30, 1999.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of REMEC was held on June 4, 1999.
The following items were voted upon by the shareholders with all items being
