M~WAVE INCREASES REVENUE EXPECTATION FOR SECOND QUARTER

NAMES ROBERT DUKE DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING

BENSENVILLE, Ill., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- M~Wave, Inc. (Nasdaq: MWAV - news), a
value-added service provider of high performance printed circuit boards used in
a variety of telecommunications applications for wireless and Internet
communications, announced today that the company expects revenues to range from
$12 million to $17 million for the second quarter ending June 30, 2001. The
company previously forecasted revenues to range from $8 million to $12 million
for second quarter 2001.

"The increase is directly related to better than expected shipments to Lucent
Technology over the last quarter," said Joseph A. Turek, chairman and chief
executive officer. "The telecommunications market continues to be soft, however,
we are expanding into the industrial electronics market and see good growth
potential there this year.

"Our expectation for 2001 annual sales continues to be between $60 million and
$70 million. We are not expecting significant recovery in our markets until
first quarter 2002." The company plans to release second quarter earnings on
July 31, 2001 followed by its quarterly conference call on August 1, 2001, that
can be heard on www.vcall.com.

M~Wave also announced that Robert Duke has joined the company as director of
sales and marketing. Duke was previously employed by Kalmus, Inc., a printed
circuit manufacturer based in Chicago. Duke's expertise lies in the industrial
electronics marketplace for printed circuits sales. He will be instrumental in
the growth of M~Wave's revenues in that segment of the market, noted Turek. Duke
will accompany Turek and CFO Paul Schmitt in planned investor meetings this
summer.
