Expects to Achieve Non-GAAP Profitability

SAN JOSE, Calif. — January 29, 2008 — 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 an update to its preliminary revenue results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007.

The Company now expects revenue to be in the range of $10.5 million to $10.6 million, which is above the previously updated estimate of $10.2 million to $10.5 million. The Company also expects to be profitable on a non-GAAP basis for the third consecutive quarter and to generate $3.5 million in cash during the quarter up from its previous estimate of $3.3 million. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance is expected to be approximately $16.7 million as of December 31, 2007.

“Our fourth quarter revenue results were above our updated estimate announced earlier this month, and we are expecting to be profitable on a non-GAAP basis for the third consecutive quarter since we closed our wafer manufacturing facility in March 2007,” commented Bruce Diamond, President and Chief Executive Officer of WJ Communications.

“I am also pleased to report that our customer, who had delayed qualification of several cost reduced parts during 2007, has awarded WJ a substantial portion of their next procurement, which will allow us to re-engage with this key customer. We expect to begin shipments to the customer in the second quarter of 2008 at the rate of approximately $400,000 per quarter,” said Diamond.

WJ Communications expects to report fourth quarter and year-end 2007 financial results in late February 2008. Conference call and web cast details will be publicly announced closer to the date of the event.
