ENDWAVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Business and Basis of Presentation

Endwave Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endwave Defense Systems Incorporated (“EDSI” and together referred to as “Endwave” or the “Company”), design, manufacture and market radio frequency (“RF”) modules that enable the transmission, reception and processing of high-frequency signals.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Endwave have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009 or any future periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

2. Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2009, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $600,000, which represents a certificate of deposit held by a financial institution as collateral for a letter of credit in connection with the Company’s building lease in Folsom, California. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company executed an agreement to lease approximately 31,000 square feet in Folsom, California. The lease term will be for sixty months. The terms of the letter of credit permit an annual 25% reduction of the certificate of deposit at the end of each year of the lease.

The Company expects the restricted cash to be released during the second quarter of 2009 as a result of the sale of the Company’s defense and security business to Microsemi Corporation on April 30, 2009. See additional discussion at Note 14, Subsequent Events.

3. Investments

The following fair value amounts have been determined using available market information.

			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value

	December 31, 2008
			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Investments:
Commercial paper	$	1,791	$	2	$	(3	)	$	1,790
United States government agency		6,690		35		—			6,725
Corporate securities		2,827		10		(2	)		2,835

Total	$	11,308	$	47	$	(5	)	$	11,350

At March 31, 2009, the Company had $12.2 million of short-term investments with maturities of less than one year and no long term investments.

At March 31, 2009, the Company had unrealized gains of $18,000 related to $11.7 million of investments in debt securities and unrealized losses of $1,000 related to a $500,000 investment in a debt security. This security was in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than one year. The investments mature through 2009 and the Company believes that it has the ability to hold these investments until the maturity date. Realized gains and losses were insignificant for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, credit quality and the Company’s ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. If the Company believes the carrying value of an investment is in excess of its fair value, and this difference is other-than-temporary, it is the Company’s policy to write down the investment to reduce its carrying value to fair value.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with SFAS No. 157 as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):


			Quoted Prices in
			Active Markets of		Significant Other
	Balance as of		Identical Assets		Observable Inputs
	March 31, 2009		(Level 1)		(Level 2)
Assets:
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	26,466	$	26,466	$	—
Commercial paper		749				749
Short-term investments:

Corporate securities		1,111		—		1,111

Total	$	39,434	$	26,466	$	12,968


Liabilities:	$	—	$	—	$	—

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on both active markets (Level 1) and less active markets (Level 2). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. As of March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities without observable market values that would require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (Level 3).

4. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market and consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31,		December 31,
	2009		2008
Raw materials	$	8,205	$	8,452
Work in process		1,141		1,574
Finished goods		2,113		4,428

	$	11,459	$	14,454

5. Note Receivable

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company set up a note receivable with one of its customers, Allgon Microwave Corporation AB (“Allgon”) who failed to meet the terms of its accounts receivable. The note was in the amount of $545,000, with payments of $25,000 due on a weekly basis. The note was to be paid in full by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, Allgon made the first five payments under the note. However, during the fourth quarter of 2008, Allgon went in default on the note and filed for bankruptcy protection under Swedish composition rules. At the time of default, the note receivable balance was $420,000. Based on Allgon’s bankruptcy filing and current estimates of payments to Allgon’s creditors, the Company reserved 75% or $315,000 of the remaining balance of the note receivable. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the net amount of $105,000 is included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent to Allgon’s default on the note receivable, the Company filed a complaint alleging that Allgon’s parent company, Advantech Advanced Microwave Technologies Inc. of Montreal, Canada (“Advantech”), had breached its contractual obligations with the Company and owes the Company $994,500 including the note receivable, purchased inventory and authorized and accepted purchase orders resulting in shippable finished goods. See additional discussion at Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. There have been no changes to the note receivable since December 31, 2008.

6. Warranty

The warranty periods for the Company’s products are between twelve and thirty months from date of shipment. The Company provides for estimated warranty expense at the time of shipment. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2009			2008
Balance at January 1	$	2,439		$	2,712
Warranties accrued		108			201
Warranties settled or reversed		(462	)		(119	)

Balance at March 31	$	2,085		$	2,794

-8-

7. Restructuring

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company undertook certain restructuring activities to reduce expenses. The Company has terminated the employment of 33 employees in order to reduce the Company’s cost structure. These terminations have affected all areas of the Company’s operations. The components of the restructuring charge include severance, benefits, payroll taxes and other costs associated with the termination of the employees. The charge for these restructuring activities was $1.2 million and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2010.


	Severance
	Benefits
	(in thousands)
First quarter 2009 restructuring charge	$	1,249
Cash payments		(910	)

Accrual at March 31, 2009	$	339

The accrued restructuring charges are included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

On Friday, October 31, 2008, the Company filed a complaint with the Canadian Superior Court in Montreal, Quebec alleging that Advantech, the parent company of Allgon Microwave Corporation AB, had breached its contractual obligations with Endwave and owes the Company $994,500 in a note receivable, purchased inventory and authorized finished goods purchase orders. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings. An adverse decision in these proceedings could harm the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Other than the complaint against Advantech, the Company is not currently a party to any material litigation.

9. Stockholder’s Equity

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) which establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. All of the Company’s stock compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument.

The effect of recording stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2009			2008
Stock-based compensation expense by type of award:
Employee stock options	$	650		$	891
Employee stock purchase plan		144			122
Amounts capitalized as inventory during the year		(6	)		(22	)
Amounts capitalized as inventory and expensed		19			14

Total stock-based compensation		807			1,005
Tax effect on stock-based compensation		—			—

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	807		$	1,005

Impact on net loss per share — basic and diluted	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.11	)

-9-

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 469,700 shares of common stock with an estimated total grant-date fair value of $478,000 or $1.02 per option. Of this amount, the Company estimated that the stock-based compensation expense of the awards not expected to vest was $141,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 903,221 shares of common stock including 327,921 options granted as part of an option exchange program. The 327,921 options granted as part of the exchange program had an estimated total grant-date fair value of $607,000 or $1.85 per option. The remaining 575,300 options had an estimated total grant-date fair value of $1.9 million or $3.35 per option. The total estimated grant-date fair value of all 903,221 options granted was $2.5 million. Of this amount, the Company estimated that the stock-based compensation expense of the awards not expected to vest was a total of $748,000.

As of March 31, 2009, the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to all stock options was $1.6 million and will be recognized over an estimate weighted-average service period of 1.5 years. As of March 31, 2009, the unrecorded stock-based compensation balance related to the employee stock purchase plan was $396,000 and will be recognized over an estimate weighted average service period of 0.6 years.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the graded-vesting method with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2009			2008
Risk-free interest rate		1.44% — 1.97	%		1.93% — 2.69	%
Expected life of options	4.6 years			3.6 years
Expected dividends		0.0	%		0.0	%
Volatility		70	%		70	%

The fair value of purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2009			2008
Risk-free interest rate		1.61% — 4.67	%		3.97% — 4.67	%
Expected life of options	1.2 years			1.2 years
Expected dividends		0.0	%		0.0	%
Volatility		51	%		51	%

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and the expected future volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are taken from the Daily Federal Yield Curve Rates as of the grant dates as published by the Federal Reserve and represent the yields on actively traded Treasury securities for terms equal to the expected term of the options. The expected term calculation is based on the Company’s observed historical option exercise behavior and post-vesting cancellations of options by employees.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2,000 and $1,000, respectively.

Equity Incentive Program

The Company’s equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program designed to align stockholder and employee interests. Under the Company’s equity incentive program, stock options generally have a

-10-

vesting period of four years, are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of issuance and are generally granted at prices not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date.

The following table summarizes activity under the equity incentive plans for the indicated periods:


						Weighted-
				Weighted-		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic

Options vested and exercisable at March 31, 2009		1,727,062		$	9.72		5.65	$	43

At March 31, 2009, the Company had 2,404,431 options available for grant under its equity incentive plans.

The options outstanding and vested and exercisable at March 31, 2009 were in the following exercise price ranges:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In October 2000, the Company established the Endwave Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan. All employees who work a minimum of 20 hours per week and are customarily employed by the Company (or an affiliate thereof) for at least five months per calendar year are eligible to participate. Under this plan, employees may purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their earnings with a limit of 3,000 shares per offering period under the plan. The price paid for the Company’s common stock purchased under the plan is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of commencement of participation by an employee in an offering under the plan or the date of purchase. The compensation cost in connection with the purchase plan for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $144,000 and $122,000, respectively. During the first quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2008, there were no shares purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. At March 31, 2009, 360,369 shares were available for purchase under the plan.

10. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the

-11-

period, if dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents include convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock, options to purchase common stock, and shares to be purchased in connection with the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, 300,000 shares of preferred stock were outstanding, which were convertible into 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an outstanding warrant that granted the holder the right to purchase 90,000 shares of preferred stock, which were convertible into 900,000 shares of common stock.

As the Company incurred net losses for all periods presented, shares associated with common stock issuable upon the conversion of the preferred shares or the exercise of the outstanding warrants were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The warrant expired on April 24, 2009. Potential dilutive common shares of 3,225,313 as of March 31, 2009 and 2,987,082 as of March 31, 2008 from the assumed exercise of stock options were not included in the net loss per share calculations as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods presented.

11. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive loss generally represents all changes in stockholders’ equity except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. The Company’s unrealized gains and losses on its available-for-sale securities and gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations represent the only components of comprehensive loss excluded from the reported net loss and are displayed in the statements of stockholders’ equity.

The components of comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (in thousands):


	Three months ended March 31,
	2009			2008
Net loss	$	(3,660	)	$	(1,936	)
Foreign currency translation adjustments		—			(7	)
Change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments		(25	)		47

Total comprehensive loss	$	(3,685	)	$	(1,896	)

12. Segment Disclosures

The Company operates in a single business segment. Although the Company sells to customers in various geographic regions throughout the world, the end customers may be located elsewhere. The Company’s total revenues by billing location for the periods ended March 31 were as follows (in thousands):

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume or Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and requires interim and annual disclosures of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 157-4 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods of publicly traded companies. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP 141(R)-1”). FSP 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact, if any, will depend on the nature and terms of business combinations the Company consummates after the effective date.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

14. Subsequent Events

On April 30, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Microsemi Corporation (“Microsemi”), pursuant to which Microsemi purchased the Company’s defense and security business (the “Business”), including all of the outstanding capital stock of EDSI. As consideration, Microsemi assumed certain liabilities associated exclusively with the Business, including the Company’s building lease in Folsom, California, and paid $28 million in cash. The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations and warranties as to the Business that survive for two years following the closing. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to indemnify Microsemi for environmental, product liability and intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s operation of the Business prior to the closing date, as well as for any other excluded liability, and Microsemi agreed to indemnify the Company for any claim related to the operation of the Business following the closing date and for any other assumed liability, subject in some cases to a customary deductible and limitation on maximum damages.

-13-

Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement and an employee transition services agreement with Microsemi pursuant to which the Company will provide to Microsemi for a limited period of time certain transitional services, including human resources, information technology and product supply services.

In connection with the sale of the Business, the Company expects to make cash payments of approximately $640,000 related to the payout of accrued vacation to departing employees. Approximately 130 employees will be leaving the Company and are expected to join Microsemi.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes and “Risk Factors” section included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q, as well as the information contained under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In the past, our operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the future.

The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and words of similar import below refer to Endwave Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endwave Defense Systems Incorporated.

Overview

On April 30, 2009, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with Microsemi Corporation (“Microsemi”) pursuant to which Microsemi purchased our defense and security business, including all of the outstanding capital stock of Endwave Defense Systems Incorporated. As consideration, Microsemi assumed certain liabilities associated exclusively with the defense and security business and paid $28 million in cash. Additionally, as part of the sale, approximately 130 employees associated with the defense and security business will transfer to Microsemi. As a result of the divestiture, we will now focus our resources on our communication module and RF semiconductor businesses. Since the sale of the defense and security business occurred after March 31, 2009, the effects of such sale are not reflected in the financial statements included in this quarterly report. The sale of the defense and security business will have a meaningful impact on our operations and financial results in future periods.

Over the past several months, global economic conditions have continued to deteriorate and credit has continued to be severely restricted. This continued restriction in credit has materially impacted our customers and vendors and has had a negative effect on our business. We expect the restriction in credit will continue to impact our customers and vendors for the foreseeable future. The installation and enhancement of mobile communication networks integrating our products, often rely on the availability of credit. With the current restriction in credit markets, capital may not be available for the build-out of these networks. Without appropriate capital, our customers may have difficulty funding their on-going operations and may reduce their orders for our products. This could significantly impact our operations and financial results.

Additionally, our vendors may rely on credit markets to finance their operations. With the current restriction in credit markets, capital may not be available to our vendors or may only be available at unfavorable terms. Without appropriate capital, our vendors may have difficulty funding their on-going operations and may not be able to fulfill orders for their products. This could significantly impact our operations and financial results.

	(In thousands)
Total revenues	$	12,039	$	14,181		(15.1	)%
Product revenues	$	11,795	$	13,840		(14.8	)%
Development fees	$	244	$	341		(28.4	)%

Total revenues consist of product revenues and development fees. Product revenues are attributable to sales of our RF products. Development fees are attributable to the development of product prototypes and custom products pursuant to development agreements that provide for payment of a portion of our research and development or other expenses. We do not expect development fees to represent a significant percentage of our total revenues for the foreseeable future.

Product revenues decreased $2.0 from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009. We experienced a $3.2 million decrease in revenues from our mobile communication customers which was offset in part by a $1.1 million increase in revenues from our defense, security and other customers. During the first quarter of 2009, revenues from our mobile communication OEM customers comprised 60% of our total revenues, compared with 74% in first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, revenues from our defense, security and other customers comprised 40% of our total revenues, compared with 26% in first quarter of 2008.

During the remainder of 2009, we expect revenues to be lower relative to 2008 in absolute dollar terms, as we sold our defense and security business on April 30, 2009.

Cost of product revenues


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2009			2008			% Change
	(In thousands)
Cost of product revenues	$	8,890		$	10,043			(11.5	)%
Percentage of total revenues		73.8	%		70.8	%

Cost of product revenues consists primarily of: costs of direct materials and labor utilized to assemble and test our products; equipment depreciation; costs associated with procurement, production control, quality assurance and

-15-

manufacturing engineering; costs associated with maintaining our manufacturing facilities; fees paid to our offshore manufacturing vendor; reserves for potential excess or obsolete material; costs related to stock-based compensation; and accrued costs associated with potential warranty returns offset by the benefit of usage of materials that were previously written off.

During the first quarter of 2009, the cost of product revenues as a percentage of revenues increased primarily due to the decreased absorption of our overhead costs resulting from decreased production. The cost of product revenues in both periods was favorably impacted by the utilization of inventory that was previously written off, amounting to approximately $70,000 during the first quarter of 2009 and $64,000 during the first quarter of 2008.

We continue to focus on reducing the cost of product revenues as a percentage of total revenues through the introduction of new designs and technology and further improvements to our offshore manufacturing processes. In addition, our product costs are impacted by the mix and volume of products sold and will continue to fluctuate as a result.

Research and development expenses


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2009			2008			% Change
	(In thousands)
Research and development expenses	$	2,840		$	2,842			(0.1	)%
Percentage of total revenues		23.6	%		20.0	%

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for research and development personnel, outside professional services, prototype materials, supplies and labor, depreciation for related equipment, allocated facilities costs and expenses related to stock-based compensation.

During the first quarter of 2009, research and development costs were comparable in absolute dollars compared to the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $51,000 in personnel related expenses and a decrease of $39,000 for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) expenses were offset by an increase in $64,000 for project-related expenses.

During the remainder of 2009, we expect research and development expenses to be lower relative to 2008 in absolute dollar terms, as we sold our defense and security business on April 30, 2009 and undertook restructuring activities during the first quarter of 2009 to reduce investment in research and development related expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses


	Three months ended

	(In thousands)

Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	2,821		$	3,361			(16.1	)%
Percentage of total revenues		23.4	%		23.7	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, sales, marketing, finance, accounting, legal, information technology and human resources personnel, professional fees, facilities costs, expenses related to stock-based compensation and promotional activities.

During the first quarter of 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in absolute dollars compared to 2008 primarily due to a $160,000 decrease in SFAS No. 123(R) expenses, $136,000 decrease in personnel-related expenses and $85,000 decrease in travel and entertainment.

During the remainder of 2009, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to be lower relative to 2008 in absolute dollar terms, as we sold our defense and security business on April 30, 2009 and undertook restructuring activities during the first quarter of 2009 to reduce our expenses.

	(In thousands)

Cost of product revenues, amortization of intangible assets	$	—	$	149		(100	)%
Amortization of intangible assets	$	—	$	179		(100	)%

As part of our acquisition of ALC Microwave, Inc., or ALC, in April 2007, we acquired $2.9 million of identifiable intangible assets, including $900,000 for customer relationships, $880,000 for developed technology, $560,000 for customer backlog, $370,000 for the non-compete agreement and $230,000 for the tradename. During the fourth quarter of 2008, these assets were fully written off based on an analysis indicating impairment of our intangible assets.

As part of our acquisition of JCA Technology, Inc., or JCA, in July 2004, we acquired $4.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, including $2.3 million for developed technology, $1.1 million for the tradename, $780,000 for customer relationships and $140,000 for customer backlog. During the fourth quarter of 2008, these assets were fully written off based on an analysis indicating impairment of our intangible assets.

The amortization associated with developed technology was a charge to cost of product revenues. The amortization associated with developed technology was $149,000 for the first quarter of 2008.

The amortization associated with customer backlog, customer relationships, non-compete and tradename was a charge to operating expenses. During the first quarter of 2008, the $179,000 of amortization was comprised of the following: $76,000 for customer relationships, $70,000 for customer backlog, $23,000 for the non-compete agreement and $10,000 for the tradename.

Restructuring expense	$	1,249	$	—		—

During the first quarter of 2009, we undertook certain restructuring activities to reduce expenses. We terminated the employment of 33 employees in order to reduce our cost structure. These terminations will affect all areas of our operations. The components of the restructuring charge include severance, benefits, payroll taxes and other costs associated with the termination of the employees. The charge for these restructuring activities was $1.2 million and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2010.

Interest and other income, net

	2009		2008		% Change
	(In thousands)

Interest and other income, net	$	93	$	457		(79.6	)%

Interest and other income, net consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investments, the amortization of the deferred gain from the sale of our Diamond Springs, California location and gains and losses related to foreign currency transactions.

The decrease in interest and other income, net during the first quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of decreased interest earned on our investments. We had a lower cash and investment balance and interest rates have decreased

-17-

significantly from the prior year especially on the highest rated investment vehicles leading to lower interest income. During the first quarter of 2009, we earned $86,000 of interest income and recognized $38,000 of other income from the amortization of the deferred gain from our sale of the Diamond Springs, California location which were partially offset by banking charges and losses on foreign currency transactions. During the first quarter of 2008, we earned $457,000 of interest income and recognized $38,000 of other income from the amortization of the deferred gain from our sale of the Diamond Springs, California location which were partially offset by banking charges and losses on foreign currency transactions.

Our functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the time of the transaction. Foreign currency transaction losses consist of the remeasurement gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations related to our operations in Thailand. During the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, we recorded a foreign currency transaction loss of $5,000 and $21,000, respectively.

Income tax benefit

Income tax benefit	$	8	$	—		—

During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a net income tax benefit of $8,000 due to recording a benefit from refundable research and development tax credits in the United States. No other income tax expense (benefit) has been recorded because we have incurred operating losses that cannot be benefitted due to a full valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2009, we had $28.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, $12.2 million in short-term investments, working capital of $53.6 million and no debt outstanding. The following table sets forth selected condensed consolidated statement of cash flows data:


	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2009			2008
	(in thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(3,754	)	$	(1,140	)

Net cash used in financing activities		(1	)		(5	)
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short- term and long-term investments at end of period	$	41,208		$	47,451

Operating activities used $3.8 million of cash in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Our net loss adjusted for depreciation and other non-cash items, was $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $349,000 in the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the remaining use of $1.3 million in cash was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in accounts receivable, an $858,000 decrease in accrued compensation, other current and other long-term liabilities, and a $354,000 decrease in accrued warranty which were partially offset by a $3.0 decrease in inventory. During the first quarter of 2008, the remaining use of $791,000 in cash was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in accounts receivable partially offset by a $646,000 increase in accounts payable and a $323,000 decrease in other assets.

During the first quarter of 2009, investing activities used cash of $1.9 million as compared to generating $3.1 million of cash in the first quarter of 2008. The use of cash during the first quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of a net $878,000 purchase of investments and the purchase of $976,000 for leasehold improvements and equipment. The source of cash during the first quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of the sales and maturities of investments of $3.5 million partially offset by the purchase of leasehold improvements and equipment of $436,000.

-18-

Financing activities used $1,000 of cash in the first quarter of 2009 primarily for the payment of capital leases which were partially offset by the proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. Financing activities used $5,000 of cash in the first quarter of 2008 primarily for the payment of capital leases.

At March 31, 2009, we had a net unrealized gain of $17,000 related to $12.2 million of investments in nine debt securities. The increase in the value of these investments is primarily related to changes in interest rates. The investments all mature during 2009 and we believe that we have the ability to hold these investments until the maturity date. Realized gains were $8,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. There were no such gains during the first quarter of 2009. We recorded a foreign currency transaction loss of $5,000 and $21,000 during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

We believe that our existing cash and investment balances will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. With the exception of operating leases discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and we have not established or invested in any variable interest entities. We have not guaranteed the debt or obligations of other entities or entered into options on non-financial assets.

The following table summarizes our future cash obligations for operating leases and capital leases, excluding interest, as of March 31, 2009:

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods of publicly traded companies. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our reported market risks since our report on market risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the heading corresponding to that set forth above. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. In order to reduce this interest rate risk, we usually invest our cash primarily in investments with short maturities. As of March 31, 2009, our investments in our portfolio were classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments. The cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted primarily of United States government agency notes, United States government money market funds, commercial papers and corporate notes. Since our investments consist of cash equivalents and short-term investments, a change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce interest income.

Currently, all sales to international customers are denominated in United States dollars and, accordingly we are not exposed to foreign currency rate risks in connection with these sales. However, if the dollar were to strengthen relative to other currencies that could make our products less competitive in foreign markets and thereby lead to a decrease in revenues attributable to international customers.

We currently pay a number of expenses related to our Thai personnel and office in Thai Bhat. During the first quarter of 2009, the total payments made in Thai Bhat were $196,000 and we recorded a related foreign currency transaction loss of $5,000. During the first quarter of 2008, the total payments made in Thai Bhat were $230,000 and we recorded a related foreign currency transaction loss of $21,000.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On Friday, October 31, 2008, we filed a complaint with the Canadian Superior Court in Montreal, Quebec alleging that Advantech Advanced Microwave Technologies Inc. (“Advantech”) the parent company of Allgon Microwave Corporation AB, had breached its contractual obligations with Endwave and owes us $994,500 in a note receivable, purchased inventory and authorized and accepted purchase orders resulting in shippable finished goods. We cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings. An adverse decision in these proceedings could harm our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Although we may have pending various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time, other than the complaint against Advantech, we are not currently a party to any material litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the following risk factors as well as other information in this report before investing in any of our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. This could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.


**		Indicates risk factor has been updated since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have had a history of losses and may not be profitable in the future.**

We have had a history of losses. We had a net loss of $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2009. We also had net losses of $14.8 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There is no guarantee that we will achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

Subsequent to the divesture of our defense and security business, we depend on the mobile communication industry for substantially all of our revenues. As this industry is negatively impacted by the global economic downturn, our revenues could decrease and our profitability could suffer. In addition, consolidation in this industry could result in delays or cancellations of orders for our products, adversely impacting our results of operations.**

We depend, and expect to remain dependent, on the mobile communication industry for substantially all of our revenues. Revenues from all of our mobile communication OEM customers comprised 60% of our total revenues during the first quarter of 2009 and 66% of our total revenues in 2008. This concentration will increase significantly in future periods due to the sale of our defense and security business on April 30, 2009.

The current global economic downturn and credit crisis has impacted the mobile communication industry. We anticipate decreased revenues from our mobile communication related customers in 2009 and therefore we undertook certain restructuring activities to reduce expenses. If the current downturn in the mobile communication industry persists, our revenues will continue to suffer and we may be forced to take further action, including but not limited to, making provisions for excess inventory, accounts receivable and abandoned or obsolete equipment and reducing our operating expenses through additional restructuring activities. We cannot guarantee that we would be able to reduce operating expenses to a level commensurate with the lower revenues resulting from such a prolonged industry downturn.

The mobile communication industry has undergone significant consolidation in the past few years and we expect that consolidation to continue. The acquisition of one of our major customers in this market, or one of the communications service providers supplied by one of our major customers, could result in delays or cancellations of orders of our products and, accordingly, delays or reductions in our anticipated revenues and reduced profitability or increased net losses. In particular, during April 2007, Nokia and Siemens merged their mobile communication network businesses.

The current turmoil in the global economy could adversely impact our operations and financial results.**

Over the past several months, global economic conditions have continued to deteriorate. For example, credit continues to be severely restricted. This restriction in credit has materially impacted our operations and financial results and we expect it to continue to do so. Our customers often rely on credit markets to finance the build-out of their networks and systems. With the current restriction in credit markets, capital may not be available to our customers or may only be available at unfavorable terms. Without appropriate capital, our customers may have difficulty funding their on-going operations and may reduce their orders for our products. This could significantly impact our operations and financial results. Additionally, our vendors may rely on credit markets to finance their operations. With the current restriction in credit markets, capital may not be available to our vendors or may only be available at unfavorable terms. Without appropriate capital, our vendors may have difficulty funding their on-going operations and may not be able to fulfill requirements for their products. This could significantly impact our operations and financial results through a reduction in our revenues.

We depend on a small number of key customers in the mobile communication industry for a significant portion of our revenues. If we lose any of our major customers, particularly Nokia Siemens Networks, or there is any material reduction in orders for our products from any of these customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.**

-22-

We depend, and expect to continue to depend, on a relatively small number of mobile communication customers for a significant part of our revenues. The loss of any of our major customers, particularly Nokia Siemens Networks, or any material reduction in orders from any such customers, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the first three months of 2009 and in fiscal 2008, revenues from Nokia Siemens Networks accounted for 54% and 55% of our total revenues, respectively. In addition, in the first three months of 2009, revenues from Boeing accounted for 12% of our total revenues. Boeing was part of the defense and security assets sold on April 30, 2009. We had no other customers individually representing more than 10% of our total revenues for these periods.

Our operating results may be adversely affected by substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations and market downturns.

Our revenues, earnings and other operating results have fluctuated in the past and our revenues, earnings and other operating results may fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations are due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others, global economic conditions, overall growth in our target markets, the ability of our customers to obtain adequate capital, U.S. export law changes, changes in customer order patterns, customer consolidation, availability of components from our suppliers, the gain or loss of a significant customer, changes in our product mix and market acceptance of our products and our customers’ products. These factors are difficult to forecast, and these, as well as other factors, could materially and adversely affect our quarterly or annual operating results.

Implementing our acquisition strategy could result in dilution to our stockholders and operating difficulties leading to a decline in revenues and operating profit.

One of our strategies is to grow through acquisitions. To that end, we have completed six acquisitions since our initial public offering in October 2000. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions in our markets that we believe will be beneficial to our business. The process of investigating, acquiring and integrating any business into our business and operations is risky and may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas in which we may face difficulties include:

	•		diversion of our management from the operation of our core business;

	•		assimilating the acquired operations and personnel;

	•		integrating information technology and reporting systems;

	•		retention of key personnel;

	•		retention of acquired customers; and

	•		implementation of controls, procedures and policies in the acquired business.

In addition to the factors set forth above, we may encounter other unforeseen problems with acquisitions that we may not be able to overcome. Future acquisitions may require us to issue shares of our stock or other securities that dilute our other stockholders, expend cash, incur debt, assume liabilities, including contingent or unknown liabilities, or create additional expenses related to write-offs or amortization of intangible assets with estimated useful lives, any of which could materially adversely affect our operating results.

We rely on the semiconductor foundry operations of third-party semiconductor foundries to manufacture the semiconductors contained in our products. The loss of our relationship with any of these foundries without adequate notice would adversely impact our ability to fill customer orders and could damage our customer relationships.

We utilize both industry standard semiconductor components and our own custom-designed semiconductor devices. However, we do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication facility, or foundry, and rely on a limited number of third parties to produce our custom-designed components. If any of our semiconductor suppliers is unable

-23-

to deliver semiconductors to us in a timely fashion, the resulting delay could severely impact our ability to fulfill customer orders and could damage our relationships with our customers. In addition, the loss of our relationship with or our access to any of the semiconductor foundries we currently use for the fabrication of custom designed components and any resulting delay or reduction in the supply of semiconductor devices to us, would severely impact our ability to fulfill customer orders and could damage our relationships with our customers.

We may not be successful in forming alternative supply arrangements that provide us with a sufficient supply of gallium arsenide devices. Gallium arsenide devices are used in a substantial portion of the products we manufacture. Because there are a limited number of semiconductor foundries that use the particular process technologies we select for our products and that have sufficient capacity to meet our needs, using alternative or additional semiconductor foundries would require an extensive qualification process that could prevent or delay product shipments and revenues. We estimate that it may take up to six months to shift production of a given semiconductor circuit design to a new foundry.

Because of the shortages of some components and our dependence on single source suppliers and custom components, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of components of sufficient quality in a timely fashion, or we may be required to pay higher prices or to purchase components of lesser quality.

Many of our products are customized and must be qualified with our customers. This means that we cannot change components in our products easily without the risks and delays associated with requalification. Accordingly, while a number of the components we use in our products are made by multiple suppliers, we may effectively have single source suppliers for some of these components.

In addition, we currently purchase a number of components, some from single source suppliers, including, but not limited to:

	•		semiconductor devices;

	•		application-specific monolithic microwave integrated circuits;

	•		voltage-controlled oscillators;

	•		voltage regulators;

	•		unusual or low usage components;

	•		surface mount components compliant with the EU’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances, or RoHS, Directive;

	•		high-frequency circuit boards;

	•		custom connectors; and

	•		yttrium iron garnet components.

Any delay or interruption in the supply of these or other components could impair our ability to manufacture and deliver our products, harm our reputation and cause a reduction in our revenues. In addition, any increase in the cost of the components that we use in our products could make our products less competitive and lower our margins. In the past, we suffered from shortages of and quality issues with various components. These shortages and quality issues adversely impacted our product revenues and could reappear in the future. Our single source suppliers could enter into exclusive agreements with or be acquired by one of our competitors, increase their prices, refuse to sell their products to us, discontinue products or go out of business. Even to the extent alternative suppliers are available to us and their components are qualified with our customers on a timely basis, identifying them and entering into arrangements with them may be difficult and time consuming, and they may not meet our quality standards. We may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities of required components on the same or substantially the same terms.

-24-

We are exposed to fluctuations in the market values of our investment portfolio.

Although we have not experienced any material losses on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, future declines in their market values could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Although our portfolio has no direct investments in auction rate or sub-prime mortgage securities, our overall investment portfolio is currently and may in the future be concentrated in cash equivalents including money market funds. If any of the issuers of the securities we hold default on their obligations, or their credit ratings are negatively affected by liquidity, credit deterioration or losses, financial results, or other factors, the value of our cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments could decline and result in a material impairment.

Competitive conditions often require us to reduce prices and, as a result, we need to reduce our costs in order to be profitable.**

Over the past year, we have reduced many of our prices of communication products by 10% to 15% in order to remain competitive and we expect market conditions will cause us to reduce our prices in the future. In order to reduce our per-unit cost of product revenues, we must continue to design and re-design products to require lower cost materials, improve our manufacturing efficiencies and successfully move production to lower-cost, offshore locations. The combined effects of these actions may be insufficient to achieve the cost reductions needed to maintain or increase our gross margins or achieve profitability.

We rely heavily on a Thailand facility of HANA Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a contract manufacturer, to produce our RF modules. If HANA is unable to produce these modules in sufficient quantities or with adequate quality, or it chooses to terminate our manufacturing arrangement, we will be forced to find an alternative manufacturer and may not be able to fulfill our production commitments to our customers, which could cause sales to be delayed or lost and could harm our reputation.**

We outsource the assembly and testing of most of our communication related products to a Thailand facility of HANA Microelectronics Co., Ltd., or HANA, a contract manufacturer. We plan to continue this arrangement as a key element of our operating strategy. If HANA does not provide us with high quality products and services in a timely manner, terminates its relationship with us, or is unable to produce our products due to financial difficulties or political instability we may be unable to obtain a satisfactory replacement to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis. In the event of an interruption of supply from HANA, sales of our products could be delayed or lost and our reputation could be harmed. Our latest manufacturing agreement with HANA expires in October 2009, but will renew automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party notifies the other of its desire to terminate the agreement at least one year prior to the expiration of the term. In addition, either party may terminate the agreement without cause upon 365 days prior written notice to the other party, and either party may terminate the agreement if the non-terminating party is in material breach and does not cure the breach within 30 days after notice of the breach is given by the terminating party. There can be no guarantee that HANA will not seek to terminate its agreement with us.

Our products may contain component, manufacturing or design defects or may not meet our customers’ performance criteria, which could cause us to incur significant repair expenses, harm our customer relationships and industry reputation, and reduce our revenues and profitability.

We have experienced manufacturing quality problems with our products in the past and may have similar problems in the future. As a result of these problems, we have replaced components in some products, or replaced the product, in accordance with our product warranties. Our product warranties typically last twelve to thirty months. As a result of component, manufacturing or design defects, we may be required to repair or replace a substantial number of products under our product warranties, incurring significant expenses as a result. Further, our customers may discover latent defects in our products that were not apparent when the warranty period expired. These defects may cause us to incur significant repair or replacement expenses beyond the normal warranty period. In addition, any component, manufacturing or design defect could cause us to lose customers or revenues or damage our customer relationships and industry reputation.

We depend on our key personnel. Skilled personnel in our industry can be in short supply. If we are unable to retain our current personnel or hire additional qualified personnel, our ability to develop and successfully market our products would be harmed.

-25-

We believe that our future success depends upon our ability to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled managerial, research and development, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel. Skilled personnel in our industry can be in short supply. As a result, our employees are highly sought after by competing companies and our ability to attract skilled personnel is limited. To attract and retain qualified personnel, we may be required to grant large stock option or other stock-based incentive awards, which may harm our operating results or be dilutive to our other stockholders. We may also be required to pay significant base salaries and cash bonuses, which could harm our operating results.

Due to our relatively small number of employees and the limited number of individuals with the skill set needed to work in our industry, we are particularly dependent on the continued employment of our senior management team and other key personnel. If one or more members of our senior management team or other key personnel were unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, these persons would be very difficult to replace, and our ability to conduct our business successfully could be seriously harmed. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies.

The length of our sales cycle requires us to invest substantial financial and technical resources in a potential sale before we know whether the sale will occur. There is no guarantee that the sale will ever occur and if we are unsuccessful in designing a high-frequency RF module for a particular generation of a customer’s products, we may need to wait until the next generation of that product to sell our products to that particular customer.

Our products are highly technical and the sales cycle can be long. Our sales efforts involve a collaborative and iterative process with our customers to determine their specific requirements either in order to design an appropriate solution or to transfer the product efficiently to our offshore contract manufacturer. Depending on the product and market, the sales cycle can take anywhere from 2 to 24 months, and we incur significant expenses as part of this process without any assurance of resulting revenues. We generate revenues only if our product is selected for incorporation into a customer’s system and that system is accepted in the marketplace. If our product is not selected, or the customer’s development program is discontinued, we generally will not have an opportunity to sell our product to that customer until that customer develops a new generation of its system. There is no guarantee that our product will be selected for that new generation system. In the past, we have had difficulty meeting some of our major customers’ stated volume and cost requirements. The length of our product development and sales cycle makes us particularly vulnerable to the loss of a significant customer or a significant reduction in orders by a customer because we may be unable to quickly replace the lost or reduced sales.

We may not be able to design our products as quickly as our customers require, which could cause us to lose sales and may harm our reputation.**

Existing and potential customers typically demand that we design products for them under difficult time constraints. In the current market environment, the need to respond quickly is particularly important. If we are unable to commit the necessary resources to complete a project for a potential customer within the requested timeframe, we may lose a potential sale. Our ability to design products within the time constraints demanded by a customer will depend on the number of product design professionals who are available to focus on that customer’s project and the availability of professionals with the requisite level of expertise is limited. We have, in the past, expended significant resources on research and design efforts on potential customer products, that did not result in additional revenue.

Each of our communication products is designed for a specific range of frequencies. Because different national governments license different portions of the frequency spectrum for the mobile communication market, and because communications service providers license specific frequencies as they become available, in order to remain competitive we must adapt our products rapidly to use a wide range of different frequencies. This may require the design of products at a number of different frequencies simultaneously. This design process can be difficult and time consuming, could increase our costs and could cause delays in the delivery of products to our customers, which may harm our reputation and delay or cause us to lose revenues.

Our customers often have specific requirements that can be at the forefront of technological development and therefore difficult and expensive to develop. If we are not able to devote sufficient resources to these products, or we experience development difficulties or delays, we could lose sales and damage our reputation with those customers.

-26-

We may not be able to manufacture and deliver our products as quickly as our customers require, which could cause us to lose sales and would harm our reputation.**

We may not be able to manufacture products and deliver them to our customers at the times and in the volumes they require. Manufacturing delays and interruptions can occur for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

	•		the failure of a supplier to deliver needed components on a timely basis or with acceptable quality;

	•		lack of sufficient capacity;

	•		poor manufacturing yields;

	•		equipment failures;

	•		manufacturing personnel shortages;

	•		labor disputes;

	•		transportation disruptions;

	•		changes in import/export regulations;

	•		infrastructure failures at the facilities of our offshore contract manufacturer;

	•		natural disasters;

	•		acts of terrorism; and

	•		political instability.

Manufacturing our products is complex. The yield, or percentage of products manufactured that conform to required specifications, can decrease for many reasons, including materials containing impurities, equipment not functioning in accordance with requirements or human error. If our yield is lower than we expect, we may not be able to deliver products on time. For example, in the past, we have on occasion experienced poor yields on certain products that have prevented us from delivering products on time and have resulted in lost sales. If we fail to manufacture and deliver products in a timely fashion, our reputation may be harmed, we may jeopardize existing orders and lose potential future sales, and we may be forced to pay penalties to our customers.

Although we do have long-term commitments from many of our customers, they are not for fixed quantities of product. As a result, we must estimate customer demand, and errors in our estimates could have negative effects on our cash, inventory levels, revenues and results of operations.

We have been required historically to place firm orders for products and manufacturing equipment with our suppliers up to six months prior to the anticipated delivery date and, on occasion, prior to receiving an order for the product, based on our forecasts of customer demands. Our sales process requires us to make multiple demand forecast assumptions, each of which may introduce error into our estimates. If we overestimate customer demand, we may allocate resources to manufacturing products that we may not be able to sell when we expect, if at all. As a result, we would have additional usage of cash, excess inventory and overhead expense, which would harm our financial results. On occasion, we have experienced adverse financial results due to excess inventory and excess manufacturing capacity. Conversely, if we underestimate customer demand or if insufficient manufacturing capacity were available, we would lose revenue opportunities, market share and damage our customer relationships. On occasion, we have been unable to adequately respond to unexpected increases in customer purchase orders and were unable to benefit from this increased demand. There is no guarantee that we will be able to adequately respond to unexpected increases in customer purchase orders in the future, in which case we may lose the revenues associated with those additional purchase orders and our customer relationships and reputation may suffer.

-27-

Any failure to protect our intellectual property appropriately could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have.**

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. As of March 31, 2009, we had 43 United States patents issued, many with associated foreign filings and patents. Our issued patents include those relating to basic circuit and device designs, semiconductors, our multilithic microsystems technology and system designs. Our issued United States patents expire between 2009 and 2027. We maintain a vigorous technology development program that routinely generates potentially patentable intellectual property. Our decision as to whether to seek formal patent protection is done on a case by case basis and is based on the economic value of the intellectual property, the anticipated strength of the resulting patent, the cost of pursuing the patent and an assessment of using a patent as a strategy to protect the intellectual property.

To protect our intellectual property, we regularly enter into written confidentiality and assignment of rights to inventions agreements with our employees, and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with third parties, and generally control access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary information. These measures may not be adequate in all cases to safeguard the proprietary technology underlying our products. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization, develop similar technology independently or attempt to design around our patents. In addition, effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited outside of the United States, Europe and Japan. We may not be able to obtain any meaningful intellectual property protection in other countries and territories. Additionally, we may, for a variety of reasons, decide not to file for patent, copyright, or trademark protection outside of the United States. Moreover we occasionally agree to incorporate a customer’s or supplier’s intellectual property into our designs, in which case we have obligations with respect to the non-use and non-disclosure of that intellectual property. We also license technology from other companies, including Northrop Grumman Corporation. There are no limitations on our rights to make, use or sell products we may develop in the future using the chip technology licensed to us by Northrop Grumman Corporation. Steps taken by us to prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property or the intellectual property of our customers may not be successful. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights of others, including our customers. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

We may receive in the future, notices of claims of infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. In addition, the invalidity of our patents may be asserted or prosecuted against us. Furthermore, in a patent or trade secret action, we could be required to withdraw the product or products as to which infringement was claimed from the market or redesign products offered for sale or under development. We have also at times agreed to indemnification obligations in favor of our customers and other third parties that could be triggered upon an allegation or finding of our infringement of other parties’ proprietary rights. These indemnification obligations would be triggered for reasons including our sale or supply to a customer or other third parties of a product which was later discovered to infringe upon another party’s proprietary rights. Irrespective of the validity or successful assertion of such claims we would likely incur significant costs and diversion of our resources with respect to the defense of such claims. To address any potential claims or actions asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license under a third party’s intellectual property rights. However, in such an instance, a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

With regard to our pending patent applications, it is possible that no patents may be issued as a result of these or any future applications or the allowed patent claims may be of reduced value and importance. If they are issued, any patent claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. Further, any existing or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented thus reducing or eliminating their commercial value. The failure of any patents to provide protection to our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products and use similar manufacturing techniques.

-28-

Risks Relating to Our Industry

Our failure to compete effectively could reduce our revenues and margins.**

Among merchant suppliers in the mobile communication market who provide integrated transceivers to radio OEMs, we primarily compete with Compel Electronics Inc., Filtronic plc, Microelectronics Technology Inc., and Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. Additionally, there are mobile communication OEMs, such as Ericsson and NEC Corporation, that use their own captive resources for the design and manufacture of their high-frequency RF transceiver modules, rather than using merchant suppliers like us. We believe that over one-half of the high-frequency RF transceiver modules manufactured today are being produced by these captive resources. To the extent that mobile communication OEMs presently, or may in the future, produce their own RF transceiver modules, we lose the opportunity to gain a customer and the potential related sales. Further, if a mobile communication OEM were to sell its captive operation to a competitor, we would lose the opportunity to acquire those potential sales.

Many of our current and potential competitors are substantially larger than us and have greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources. In addition, we have begun designing and selling products for homeland security applications and the market for homeland security is only now emerging. If we are unable to compete successfully, our future operations and financial results will be harmed.

Our failure to comply with any applicable environmental regulations could result in a range of consequences, including fines, suspension of production, excess inventory, sales limitations and criminal and civil liabilities.

Due to environmental concerns, the need for lead-free solutions in electronic components and systems is receiving increasing attention within the electronics industry as companies are moving towards becoming compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, or RoHS Directive. The RoHS Directive is European Union legislation that restricts the use of a number of substances, including lead, after July 2006. We believe that our products impacted by these regulations are compliant with the RoHS Directive and that materials will continue to be available to meet these new regulations. However, it is possible that unanticipated supply shortages or delays or excess non-compliant inventory may occur as a result of these new regulations. Failure to comply with any applicable environmental regulations could result in a range of consequences, including loss of sales, fines, suspension of production, excess inventory and criminal and civil liabilities.

Government regulation of the communications industry could limit the growth of the markets that we serve or could require costly alterations of our current or future products.

The markets that we serve are highly regulated. Communications service providers must obtain regulatory approvals to operate broadband wireless access networks within specified licensed bands of the frequency spectrum. Further, the Federal Communications Commission and foreign regulatory agencies have adopted regulations that impose stringent RF emissions standards on the communications industry. In response to the new environmental regulations on health and safety in Europe and China, we are required to design and build a lead-free product. Changes to these regulations may require that we alter the performance of our products.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Stock

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated historically and is likely to fluctuate in the future.**

The price of our common stock has fluctuated widely since our initial public offering in October 2000. In first three months of 2009, the lowest daily sales price for our common stock was $1.36 and the highest daily sales price for our common stock was $2.51. In 2008, the lowest daily sales price for our common stock was $1.93 and the highest daily sales price for our common stock was $7.69. The market price of our common stock can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

-29-

	•		our financial performance or the performance of our competitors;

	•		the purchase or sale of common stock, short-selling or transactions by large stockholders;

	•		technological innovations or other trends or changes in mobile communication networks;

	•		successes or failures at significant product evaluations or site demonstrations;

	•		the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;

	•		acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving us or our competitors;

	•		decisions by major participants in the communications industry not to purchase products from us or to pursue alternative technologies;

	•		decisions by investors to de-emphasize investment categories, groups or strategies that include our company or industry;

	•		market conditions in the industry, the financial markets and the economy as a whole;

	•		existence of preferred stock with rights differing from those of common stock; and

	•		the low trading volume of our common stock.

It is likely that our operating results in one or more future quarters may be below the expectations of security analysts and investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These market fluctuations can be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies and the market prices for securities of technology companies have been especially volatile. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. Additionally, future stock price volatility for our common stock could provoke the initiation of securities litigation, which may divert substantial management resources and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our existing insurance coverage may not sufficiently cover all costs and claims that could arise out of any such securities litigation. We anticipate that prices for our common stock will continue to be volatile.

We have a few shareholders that each own a large percentage of our outstanding capital stock and, as a result of their significant ownership, are able to significantly affect the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval.**

Oak Technology Partners XI, Limited Partnership, or Oak, owns 300,000 shares of our Series B preferred stock that are convertible into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. Assuming the conversion of Oak’s preferred shares into common stock, as of February 6, 2009, Oak beneficially owned 24.3% of our capital stock. This excludes Oak’s warrant to purchase 90,000 shares of preferred stock, where were convertible into 900,000 shares of common stock, which expired on April 24, 2009. In addition, two other shareholders each beneficially owned more than 10% of our capital stock on February 6, 2009.

Because most matters requiring approval of our stockholders require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of our outstanding capital stock present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting, the significant ownership interest of these shareholders allows them to affect significantly the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership may also delay, deter or prevent a change in control and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without their support, even if the transaction is favorable to our stockholders as a whole.

-30-

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, arrangements with executive officers and the rights of our preferred shareholder contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control.

We are subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover laws by virtue of our status as a Delaware corporation. These laws prevent us from engaging in a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets with any stockholder, including all affiliates and associates of any stockholder, who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, for three years following the date that the stockholder acquired 15% or more of our voting stock, unless our board of directors approved the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, or upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock of the corporation, or the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized by at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder. A corporation may opt out of the Delaware anti-takeover laws in its charter documents, however we have not chosen to do so. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include a number of provisions that may deter or impede hostile takeovers or changes of control of management, including a staggered board of directors, the elimination of the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent, discretionary authority given to our board of directors as to the issuance of preferred stock, and indemnification rights for our directors and executive officers. Additionally, we have adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, providing for the distribution of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock that may lead to the delay or prevention of a change in control that is not approved by our board of directors. We have an Executive Officer Severance and Retention Plan and a Key Employee Severance and Retention Plan that provide for severance payments and the acceleration of vesting of a percentage of certain stock options granted to our executive officers and certain senior, non-executive employees under specified conditions.

The preferred shareholder has certain rights upon any liquidation, merger, reorganization and/or consolidation of Endwave into or with another corporation or any transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, entity or group acquires 50% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities. If such an event were to occur the holders of the preferred shares are entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution to holders of our common stock or any other class or series of stock subordinate in liquidation preference to the preferred stock, the amount invested plus all accumulated or accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The preferred shareholder also has the right to approve certain other transactions including cash dividends and stock repurchases.

These plans may make us a less attractive acquisition target or may reduce the amount a potential acquirer may otherwise be willing to pay for our company.
