                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
  interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
  by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
  presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the
  consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
  for the year ended December 31, 1998 filed March 30, 1999.

2.    BUSINESS

      M~Wave, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Poly Circuits Inc. and P C
  Dynamics Corporation (collectively, the "Company"), manufactures printed
  circuit boards using Teflon-based laminates to customers' specifications. In
  addition, the Company produces customer specified bonded assemblies consisting
  of a printed circuit board bonded in some manner to a metal carrier or pallet.
  One bonding technique used by the Company is Flexlink(TM), a patented process
  granted to the Company in 1993. The Company developed an enhanced version of
  Flexlink(TM) in 1996.

  On March 25, 1999, PC Dynamics Corporation, sold substantially all of its
  machinery and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable and assigned all of
  its outstanding contracts and orders to Performance Interconnect Corporation,
  a Texas Corporation. (PIC) The purchase price paid by PIC consisted of:

      (i)    $893,319 in cash;

      (ii)   a promissory note in the principal amount of $773,479, which is
             payable in nine (9) equal monthly installments commencing on July
             1, 1999; and

      (iii)  a promissory note in the principal amount of $293,025, which is
             payable in monthly installments of $50,000 commencing on May 1,1999
             until paid. The Company has collected $250,000 through September
             30, 1999.

  PC Dynamics and PIC also entered into a royalty  agreement  which  provides
  for PIC to pay PC Dynamics a royalty equal to 8.5% of the net invoice value of
  certain microwave frequency components and circuit boards sold by PIC for
  eighteen months following

  the closing. PIC shall not be required to pay PC Dynamics in excess of
  $500,000 in aggregate royalty payments.

  In addition, PC Dynamics has leased its facility in Texas to PIC for $17,000
  per month for three years. PIC has the right under the lease to purchase the
  facility from PC Dynamics for $2,000,000 at anytime during the term of the
  lease. If PIC exercises its right to purchase the facility, the remaining
  balance due on the royalty agreement is payable in monthly installments of
  $25,000 until a minimum of $500,000 is paid.

  This agreement was amended in the third quarter of 1999 whereas the Company
  agreed to revise the payment schedule for Promissory Note I from 9 equal
  monthly installments to 30 equal monthly installments in return for not
  pursuing the purchase of the facility in Texas. The Company has collected
  $79,830 through September 30,1999. The royalty agreement was also revised to
  $500,000 payable in equal monthly installments of $25,000 until paid. The
  Company has collected $95,000 through September 30,1999.


3.    INVENTORIES

  Substantially all the Company's inventories are in work in process.

4.    DEBT

  The Company has a mortgage loan of $2,046,000 for the facility at P C Dynamics
  Corporation in Frisco, Texas. Interest on this mortgage loan is at 1/2 % over
  the prime rate. The loan is payable in monthly installments of principal and
  interest and is due in October 2001.

  The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit available based on 80% of the
  eligible accounts receivable to fund the working capital needs of the Company.

  agreement expires May 31, 2000 and is renewable annually at the mutual consent
  of the Company and the lender. No balance was outstanding under the line at
  September 30, 1999.

5.   LITIGATION

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

NET SALES

      Net sales were $2,169,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999,
a decrease of $1,381,000 or 39% below the third quarter of 1998. Part of the
decline ($995,000) was the result of the Company selling off substantially all
of the assets of P C Dynamics Corporation. The Company also experienced a
slowdown in sales and excessive scrap with recent start-up orders of a major
customer. Net sales to Lucent increased by $593,000 from the third quarter of
1998. Net sales to Spectrian decreased by $1,061,000.

      The Company's three largest customers accounted for 81% of the Company's
net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to 65% in the
third quarter of 1998.

GROSS PROFIT (LOSS) AND COST OF GOODS SOLD

      The Company lost $308,000 at the Gross Profit level for the third quarter
of 1999. This was a decrease of $932,000 from the third quarter of 1998. A
portion of the decline ($52,000) was the result of the Company selling off
substantially all of the assets of P C Dynamics Corporation. Additional decline
relates to a slowdown in sales, manufacturing inefficiencies caused by start-up
orders with a major customer and rework of products scrapped in the
manufacturing process. The Company also incurred additional payroll related
expenses of approximately $300,000 compared to the third quarter of 1998. Most
of the additional expenses were temporary help.

      During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company decided to reposition the
PC Dynamics subsidiary located in Frisco, Texas. Management decided the P C
Dynamics subsidiary did not have a future place in the Company's strategic
plans. On March 25, 1999, PC Dynamics sold substantially all of its machinery
and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable and assigned all of its
outstanding contracts and orders to Performance Interconnect Corporation, a
Texas Corporation. The Company also leased its Texas facility to Performance
Interconnect Corporation.

      The building and equipment of PC Dynamics Corporation are recorded in the
December 31, 1998 balance sheet as building and equipment to be disposed of at
market value less an estimate of selling costs. The market value was determined
based on appraisals. The building value of PC Dynamics Corporation is recorded
in the September 30, 1999 balance sheet as land, buildings and improvements.

OPERATING EXPENSES

      General and administrative expenses were $446,000 or 20.5% of net sales in
the third quarter of 1999 compared to $386,000 or 10.9% of net sales in the
third quarter of 1998. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
salaries and benefits, professional services, depreciation of office equipment,
computer systems and occupancy expenses. The Company incurred expenses of
$110,000 due to a return of products relating to the PC Dynamics Corporation
divestiture in March 1999.

      Selling and marketing expenses were $141,000 or 6.5% of net sales in the
third quarter of 1999 compared to $153,000 or 4.3% of net sales in the third
quarter of 1998. Selling and marketing expenses include the cost of salaries,
advertising and promoting the Company's products, and commissions paid to
independent sales organizations. Selling and marketing expenses declined as a
result of the Company selling off substantially all of the assets of P C
Dynamics Corporation.

OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

      Operating loss was $894,000 or 41.2% in the third quarter of 1999 compared
to a operating income of $85,000 or 2.4% of net sales in the third quarter of
1998, an decrease of $979,000. The changes in operating income reflect primarily
the changes in net sales, gross profit and cost of goods sold and operating
expenses as discussed above. The change in operating income can be summarized as
follows:

Decrease in net sales                       $  (243,000)
Decrease in gross margin                       (689,000)
Decrease in operating expenses                  (47,000)
                                            ------------

Decrease in operating income                $  (979,000)

INTEREST INCOME

      Interest income from short-term investments was $54,000 in the third
quarter of 1999 compared to $45,000 in the third quarter of 1998. Interest
income in the third quarter of 1999 includes $20,000 from notes receivable,
generated in the sale of the assets of P C Dynamics. Rental income from the P C
Dynamics facility was $51,000 in the third quarter of 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE

      Interest expense, primarily related to the Company's mortgage obligation
on its P C Dynamics facility, was $61,000 in the third quarter of 1999 compared
to $55,000 in the third quarter of 1998.

NET SALES

      Net sales were $7,749,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a
decrease of $1,877,000 or 20% below the first nine months of 1998. Part of the
difference ($2,366,000) was the result of the Company selling off substantially
all the assets of P C Dynamics Corporation. This was offset by a final shipment
to Motorola of a matured product line of $1,300,000 in the first quarter of
1999. Net sales to Lucent increased $1,150,000. Net sales to Spectrian decreased
by $2,607,000. Although net sales to Spectrian have declined from last years
volume, net sales to Spectrian have continued to increase since the first
quarter of 1999.

      Gross profit decreased $1,144,000 in the first nine months of 1999 from
$1,612,000 in the first nine months of 1998. Part of the difference ($569,000)
was the result of the Company selling off substantially all of the assets of P C
Dynamics Corporation. Gross margin for the remainder of the Company decreased
approximately $575,000 due to a slowdown in sales, manufacturing inefficiencies
caused by start-up orders with a major customer and rework of products scrapped
in the manufacturing process. The Company experienced excessive scrap and rework
costs of $230,000 in the second quarter of 1999 relating to the Lucent start-up
orders.

      During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company decided to reposition the

GAIN ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

      The Company recorded a loss of $135,000 on the disposal of fixed assets in
the first nine months of 1999 compared to a gain of $39,000 for the first nine
months of 1998. The loss in the first nine months of 1999 was primarily related
to the sale of substantially all the machinery and equipment of P C Dynamics to
Performance Interconnect Corporation.

INCOME TAXES

      For the first nine months of 1999 the Company had an effective tax credit
rate of 40.8%. For the first nine months of 1998 the Company had an effective
tax credit rate of 38.7% due to the effects of state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Net cash  provided/(used)  from  operations  was  ($106,000)  for the
first  nine  months of 1999 compared  to  $1,005,000  for the first nine  months
of 1998.  Inventories  decreased  $322,000.  Accounts receivable increased
$23,000. Accounts payable increased $117,000.

      Capital  expenditures to improve  manufacturing  processes were $200,000
in the first nine months of 1999. Capital  expenditures to improve
manufacturing  processes were $248,000 in the first nine months of 1998.

      The Company collected $1,221,000 relating to the sale of substantially all
the machinery and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable of P C Dynamics
to Performance Interconnect Corporation.

      The Company has a mortgage loan of $2,046,000 for the facility at P C
Dynamics Corporation in Frisco, Texas. Interest on this mortgage loan is at 1/2
% over the prime rate. The loan is payable in monthly installments of principal
and interest and is due in October 2001.

      The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit available based on 80% of the
eligible accounts receivable to fund the working capital needs of the Company.
Interest is at the prime rate (8.25% at September 30, 1999) plus 1/2%. The
agreement expires May 31, 2000 and is renewable annually at the mutual consent
of the Company and the lender. No balance was outstanding under the line at

      As of September 30, 1999, the company has $2,046,000 of debt and
$4,380,000 of cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that funds
generated from operations, coupled with the Company's cash and investment
balances and its capacity for debt will be sufficient to fund current business
operations.

INFLATION

      Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the
Company's operation or on its financial position.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

      Many computer and other software and hardware systems currently are not,
or will or may not be, able to read, calculate or output correctly using dates
after 1999 and such systems will require significant modifications in order to
be Year 2000 compliant. This issue may have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations because its
computer and other systems are integral parts of the Company's distribution
activities as well as its accounting and other information systems and because
the Company will have to divert financial resources and personnel to address
this issue.

      The Company has reviewed its computer and other hardware and software
systems and has upgraded those systems that it has identified as not being year
2000 compliant. These systems were upgraded either through modification or
replacement.

      Although the Company is not aware of any material operational impediments
associated with upgrading its computer and other hardware and software systems
to be year 2000 compliant, the Company cannot make any assurances that the
upgrade, or that the upgraded systems will be free of defects. If any such risks
materialize, the Company could experience material adverse consequences to its
business, financial condition and results of operations.

      Year 2000 compliance may also adversely affect the Company's business
financial conditions and results of operations indirectly by causing
complications to, or otherwise affecting, the operations of any one or more of
its suppliers and customers. The Company is contacting its significant suppliers
and customers in an attempt to identify any potential year 2000 compliance
issues with them. The Company is currently unable to anticipate the magnitude of
the operational or financial impact of year 2000 compliance issues with its
suppliers or customers.

      The Company incurred approximately $86,000 to date to resolve and test the
Company's year 2000 compliance issues. All expenses incurred in connection with
year 2000 compliance were expensed as incurred, other than acquisitions of new
software or hardware, which was capitalized.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

      All of the Company's foreign transactions are negotiated, invoiced and
paid in United States dollars.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

      As a supplier to microwave manufacturers, the Company is dependent upon
the success of its customers in developing and successfully marketing end-user
microwave systems. The Company is currently working on several development
programs for its customers. The development of commercial applications for
microwave systems and the timing and size of production schedules for these
programs is uncertain and beyond the control of the Company. There can be no
assurance that these development programs will have a favorable impact on the
Company's operating results. Although management believes some of these products
and programs may ultimately develop into successful commercial applications,
such developments could result in periodic fluctuations in the Company's
operating results. As a result of these considerations, the Company has
historically found it difficult to project operating results.

      The Company expects that a small number of customers will continue to
account for a substantial majority of its sales and that the relative dollar
amount and mix of products sold to any of these customers can change
significantly from year to year. There can be no assurance that the Company's
major customers will continue to purchase products from the Company at current
levels, or that the mix of products purchased will be in the same ratio. The
loss of one or more of the Company's major customers or a change in the mix of
product sales could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

      In addition, future results may be impacted by a number of other factors,
including the Company's dependence on suppliers and subcontractors for
components; the Company's ability to respond to technical advances; successful
award of contracts under bid; design and production delays; cancellation or
reduction of contract orders; the Company's effective utilization of existing
and new manufacturing resources; and pricing pressures by key customers.

      The Company's future success is highly dependent upon its ability to
manufacture products that incorporate new technology and are priced
competitively. The market for the Company's products is characterized by rapid
technology advances and industry-wide competition. This competitive environment
has resulted in downward pressure on gross margins. In addition, the Company's
business has evolved towards the production of relatively smaller quantities of
more complex products, the Company expects that it will at times encounter
difficulty in maintaining its past yield standards. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to develop technologically advanced products or
that future pricing actions by the Company and its competitors will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
