                MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING ANNOUNCES RESTATEMENT
                  OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED
                     JUNE 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                        
     San Diego, California -- March 18, 1998 -- Microelectronic Packaging, Inc.
(the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: MPIX) today announced that it has restated
its previously reported financial statements for the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and September 30, 1997.

     Interest Expense Related to Discontinued Singapore Operations Debt
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

     On March 3, 1997, prior to the release of its operating results for the
year ended December 31, 1996, the Company announced the commencement of the
liquidation of its MPM Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("MPM") subsidiary which had been the
subsidiary through which the Company was developing multilayer packaging
technology pursuant to a licensing agreement with IBM.  In addition, on July 10,
1997, the Company announced the commencement of the liquidation of its MPS
Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("MPS") subsidiary that had been manufacturing EPROM, CERDIP
and other pressed ceramic packages.

     The total debt pertaining to the MPM and MPS subsidiaries aggregates
approximately $25 million as of December 31, 1997.  The estimated interest
expense pertaining to the MPM portion of this debt for the period from January
1, 1997 to June 30, 1997 was recorded  as a charge to  discontinued operations
as of December 31, 1996.  However,  from  July 1, 1997 to September 30, 1997,
the Company accounted for the interest expense for both MPM and MPS as a current
period expense in its quarterly report ended September 30, 1997.  Subsequently,
the Company has determined that it is more appropriate to classify these
Singapore operations' financing expenses as estimated loss on disposal of
discontinued operations to be consistent with the method of reporting used by
the Company at December 31, 1996 and to more accurately reflect the estimated
loss on disposal.

     Accordingly, the Company restated its quarterly results for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 to increase its reserves for discontinued operations
by $3,500,000 which represents interest expense related to the debt from two of
the Company's subsidiaries in Singapore.  The interest expense recorded covers
the six months ended December 31, 1997 and the projected applicable interest
expense that will be incurred by both MPM and MPS through the completion of the
liquidation (which is estimated to be December 31, 1998).  In addition, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company restated its results by removing
approximately $429,000 of interest expense pertaining to the Singapore
operations debt previously recorded as a period expense, which is included in
the $3,500,000 restatement adjustment.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1997
and for all subsequent quarters through December 31, 1998, payment of interest
will be recorded, if necessary, as a reduction of the reserve for discontinued
operations.  The Company believes that the increase made to its reserves for
discontinued operations of $3,500,000 as of June 30, 1997 will be adequate to
satisfy all anticipated liabilities of those discontinued operations.

     The effect of these changes is to decrease the operating loss by $199,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, and to increase the Company's net loss by
$3,500,000 for the same period.  Further, this change increases operating income
by $429,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 and net income by a like
amount that same period.

     The Company is currently attempting to restructure its debt.  The Company's
ability to successfully restructure its debt will depend in large part upon the
cooperation of its various creditors, lenders, equity holders and others.  There
can be no assurance that such restructuring will be completed successfully.  The
Company's business is also subject to other risk factors, including the
dependence on a limited number of customers and the ability to fund any
increased growth in its business.
