 METALINK REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2009 RESULTS

YAKUM, ISRAEL, May 14, 2009 - Metalink Ltd. (NASDAQ: MTLK), a global provider
and developer of high-performance broadband communication silicon solutions,
today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2009.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2009: Revenues for the first
quarter of 2009 were $1.8 million, the majority of which consisted of legacy DSL
sales, compared to $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2008. Net loss for the
period was $(3.5) million, or $(0.15) per share, compared to $(9.8) million, or
$(0.42) per share, for the first quarter of 2008. Net loss for the first
quarters of 2009 and 2008 includes stock-based compensation expenses of $0.2
million and $0.5 million, respectively.

CASH STATUS: Metalink's cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of
March 31, 2009 were $8.6 million.

LOAN STATUS: As previously announced, in January 2009, Metalink received an
additional $2.25 million in a short-term secured loan from an institutional
investor after having received a $3.5 million short-term secured loan from the
institutional investor in the third quarter of 2008. This brought the Company's
balance of outstanding loans to $5.75 million. According to the loan agreement,
Metalink may request an additional loan of up to $2.25 million, subject to
certain conditions.

FINANCIAL EXPENSES: Financial Expenses, net, in the first quarter of 2009 were
$0.96 million, compared to Financial Income, net, of $0.4 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008. The increase in financial expenses primarily reflects a
non-cash expense attributable to the increase in the fair value of the warrants
granted under the loan agreement to the institutional investor, carried in fair
value.




COMMENTS OF MANAGEMENT: Commenting on the results, Metalink's CEO, Tzvika
Shukhman, said, "In the first quarter of 2009, we benefitted from the
restructuring activities carried out in 2008, which have allowed us to reduce
our operating expenses significantly while maintaining our leadership position
in our focus markets. Our WLAN products are currently being `designed in' as
components of a number of major carrier-class 802.11n residential gateways,
routers, video bridges and set-top boxes that are aiming at major deployments
worldwide. We have started shipping our WLAN products for initial deployments,
and we are cautiously optimistic that order volumes will ramp up during the
latter part of 2009. We are on the verge of sampling our Generation 3 WLAN
products which will allow us to further improve both our performance edge and
the cost structure of our products. Our entire team is committed to turning our
best-of-breed technology and market traction into shareholder value."

 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This press release contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
the United States securities laws. Words such as "aim," "expect," "estimate,"
"project," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could,"
"should," "believe," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. For
example, when we discuss our expectation for order volumes to ramp up, we are
using a forward looking statement. Because such statements deal with future
events, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to: our need to raise additional funds in order for us to
implement our current business plan, including our liquidity requirements, which
funds may not be timely available to us which may lead to insolvency; our
inability to regain compliance with NASDAQ'S requirements for continued listing;
any unforeseen developmental or technological difficulties with regard to our
products; changes in the competitive landscape, including new competitors or the
impact of competitive pricing and products; and the impact on revenues of
economic and political uncertainties and weaknesses in various regions of the
world, including the commencement or escalation of hostilities or acts of
terrorism. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from these forward-looking statements are set forth from time to time
in Metalink's filings with the SEC, including Metalink's Annual Report in Form
F-20. Readers are autioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no
obligation to republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of
