WJ Communications Receives NASDAQ Notification Related to Minimum Bid Price

SAN JOSE, Calif. — December 26, 2007 — WJ Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: WJCI), a leading designer and supplier of radio frequency (RF) solutions for the wireless infrastructure and radio frequency identification (RFID) reader markets,today announced it has received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market stating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (“the Rule”).

The notice has no effect on the listing of WJ Communication’s common stock at this time, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “WJCI”.

In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until June 17, 2008, to regain compliance.  In order to regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

If compliance with “the Rule” is not regained by June 17, 2008, the notice indicates the Company will receive a written notification from NASDAQ that its securities will be delisted.  At that time, WJ may appeal that determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel, or alternatively, may apply to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), other than the Minimum Bid Price Rule.  If the application is approved, the Company will be afforded the remainder of the NASDAQ Capital Market’s second 180 calendar day compliance period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule while on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The Company continues to assess opportunities to maximize shareholder value, including the previously announced engagement of Thomas Weisel Partners, LLC to evaluate strategic alternatives.
