  ANADIGICS, INC. REPORTS  RECORD FOURTH QUARTER SALES OF $22.4 MILLION
                                   AND
                RECORD INCOME BEFORE TAXES OF $4.5 MILLION

                   *1996 NET SALES $68.9 MILLION - UP 34%
                    *COMPANY DECLARES 3-FOR-2 STOCK SPLIT


    WARREN, New Jersey, January 31, 1997--ANADIGICS, INC. (Nasdaq: ANAD) 
today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended 
December 31, 1996.

    The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a 
3-for-2 stock split of its common stock in the form of a 50% stock dividend. 
The new shares will be distributed on February 20, 1997 to stockholders of 
record at the close of business on February 10, 1997.

    Net sales in the 1996 fourth quarter rose 55% to $22.4 million from $14.5 
million in the fourth quarter of 1995. On a sequential quarterly basis, net 
sales increased 32% over third quarter 1996 net sales of $17.0 million. The 
increase in net sales in comparison to both periods is primarily attibutable 
to increased sales of integrated circuits for cellular and personal 
communication service ("PCS") applications, which were up over 200% from the 
fourth quarter of 1995. Cellular and PCS applications represented more than 
50% of fourth quarter 1996 net sales, compared to approximately 25% of net 
sales in the fourth quarter of 1995.

    Income before taxes in the fourth quarter of 1996 was up 61% to a record 
$4,473 thousand from $2,783 thousand in the fourth quarter of 1995. During 
the fourth quarter of 1996 a benefit for income taxes of $2,214 thousand was 
recorded versus a provision for income taxes of $138 thousand recorded in the 
fourth quarter of 1995. The benefit for income taxes arose from a reduction 
in the valuation allowances which had been recorded in earlier periods 
against deferred tax assets (primarily net operating loss carry-forwards). As 
a result, net income in the fourth quarter of 1996 increased to $6,687 
thousand (or $0.76 per share on pre-split 8,747,705 weighted average common 
shares outstanding) from $2,645 thousand (or $0.32 per share on a pre-split 
8,334,301 weighted average common shares outstanding) in the fourth quarter 
of 1995. Net income per share after adjustment for the 3-for-2 common stock 
split would be $0.51 in the fourth quarter of 1996 and $0.21 in the fourth 
quarter of 1995.

    The gross profit margin was 43.5% in the fourth quarter of 1996, compared 
with 34.5% in the third quarter of 1996 and 49.1% in the fourth quarter of 
1995. The improvement in gross margin from the third quarter 1996 level was 
the result of improved yields on new products, certain of which had 
experienced production start-up problems in the third quarter. The decline in 
the gross profit margin compared to the fourth quarter of 1995 was due to a 
shift in the sales mix to lower margin, high volume integrated circuits and 
lower yields on certain of the newer products.

    Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 1996 totaled
$3.1 million, or 13.9% of net sales, compared to $3.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 1995, or 20.7% of net sales. During the fourth quarter of 1996 the
Company's focus on meeting customer demands for products temporarily reduced
the amount of engineering resources normally applied to research and
development. Selling  and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 1996
totaled $2.6 million, or 11.4% of net sales, compared to $1.7 million, or 12.0%
of net sales in the year-ago quarter.

    For the year, net sales totaled $68.9 million, an increase of 34% over 
1995 net sales of $51.5 million. Income before income taxes for 1996 totaled 
$11.1 million compared with $8.8 million in 1995, an increase of 26%. During 
1996 a benefit for income taxes of $888 thousand was recorded versus a 
provision for income taxes of $1,527 thousand recorded in 1995. The benefit 
for income taxes arose from a reduction in the valuation allowances which had 
been recorded in earlier periods against deferred tax assets (primarily net 
operating loss carryforwards). As a result, net income in 1996 increased to 
$11,991 thousand (or $1.39 per share on pre-split 8,605,234 weighted average 
common shares outstanding) from $7,293 thousand (or $0.96 per share on a 
pre-split 7,583,163 weighted average common shares outstanding) in 1995. The 
net income per share after adjustment for the 3-for-2 common stock split 
would be $0.93 in 1996 and $0.64 in 1995.
