Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 1, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), M-Wave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into, and simultaneously consummated, an agreement (“Agreement”) whereby it issued an aggregate of 45,648 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares), to the following entities: (i) Mercator Momentum Fund, LP; (ii) Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP; and (iii) Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Each share of Series B Stock has a stated value of $100.00. The Registrant issued the Series B Stock in consideration of the Purchasers canceling $4,564,800 of indebtedness owed to them by the Registrant. In connection with the Agreement, the Registrant reduced the exercise prices of certain common stock purchase warrants previously issued to the Purchasers and to M.A.G. Capital, LLC (“MAG”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Registrant agreed to issue and the Purchasers agreed to purchase an additional 19,000 shares of Series B Stock on March 15, 2006 in exchange for $1,900,000 to be paid to the Registrant in cash on such date.

Background

On the Closing Date, the Registrant issued 45,648 shares of Series B Stock (valued at $4,564,800) to the Purchasers in exchange for the Purchasers canceling $4,564,800 of indebtedness owed to them by the Registrant. The Registrant agreed to issue to the Purchasers an additional 19,000 shares of Series B Stock on March 15, 2006 in exchange for the payment by the Purchasers of $1,900,000 on such date; such funds to be held in a reserve account at the bank currently utilized by the Registrant and released therefrom only upon a resolution by a majority of the Registrant’s independent directors to the effect that the release of such funds (or any portion thereof) is necessary or appropriate under the Registrant’s budget (as approved by the audit committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors).
 
The number of Conversion Shares that any of the Purchasers may acquire at any time is subject to limitations in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series B Stock, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 1, 2006, such that the sum of the number of Conversion Shares plus the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock already owned by any of the Purchasers, does not exceed 9.99% of the Registrant’s then outstanding common stock.
 
Series B Stock
The Series B Stock is non-voting and is entitled to receive monthly dividends at an annual rate equal to 15%, subject to reduction to 9% after the Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The monthly dividends are payable in cash. The number of shares into which one share of Series B Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing $100.00 by $0.79 (subject to adjustment). In addition, the Series B Stock has liquidation preferences and certain other privileges.

Registration of Stock
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Purchasers, MAG and the Registrant, the Registrant agreed to use it best efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares, the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (as defined below) and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued by the Registrant to the Purchasers on June 17, 2004 (the “Registration Statement”). Such registration rights are more fully set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2.



The information set forth herein with respect to the Agreement, the Series B Stock, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement is intended to be a summary only. The entire agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

See Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which item is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of the terms of a preferred stock instrument which is convertible into shares of the Registrant’s common stock.

Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On the Closing Date, warrants to purchase 2,131,449 shares of common stock of the Registrant previously issued to MAG and to the Purchasers (the “Warrants”) were modified to reduce the exercise prices of the Warrants (previously between $1.27 and $1.02) to the price that was $0.01 above the closing bid price on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, or $0.69 per share.

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation.

See Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which Item is incorporated herein by reference, for more detailed descriptions of the terms of the transaction that include the issuance of Series B Shares and the filing of the Certificate of Designations of the Preferences and Rights thereof.

Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 1, 2006, the Registrant issued a press release announcing completion of the transaction described in Items 1.01, 3.02 and 3.03 above. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99. 1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release and the information in this Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01.
Other Events.
 
NASDAQ compliance
As a result of the Series B Stock financing, the Registrant believes it now complies with the shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and will evidence full compliance with this requirement upon the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.  Specifically, the Registrant expects to report shareholders’ equity in excess of the $2.5 million minimum requirement set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B).  As previously disclosed, as of the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Registrant failed to satisfy the $2.5 million shareholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.  The Registrant presented its plan to regain compliance with that requirement at a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel on February 16, 2006.  The Registrant has not yet received a formal decision from the Panel as a result of the hearing and, until such time as the Panel deems the Registrant to be in compliance with the NASDAQ listing criteria, the Registrant can provide no assurances that the Panel will determine to continue the Registrant’s listing on NASDAQ.


 
Additional information regarding the NASDAQ Staff Deficiency Letter can be found on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on November 28, 2005.

Voting Agreement
Joseph Turek, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Registrant (“Turek”), has entered into a voting agreement with MAG and Mercator Momentum Fund, LP whereby Turek has agreed to vote all voting securities of the Registrant currently owned or thereafter acquired by him in favor of a significant acquisition of another company, or of the business or assets of another company, that is recommended by the Special Committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. The voting agreement terminates on the earlier of its one-year anniversary or upon the closing of any such acquisition. The voting agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
M-WAVE, INC.
a Delaware corporation
 
The undersigned, Joseph A. Turek and Jeffrey Figlewicz, certify that:
 
1.     They are the duly acting President and Secretary, respectively, of M-WAVE, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the Corporations Code of the State of Delaware (the Corporation).
 
2.     Pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, and pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Code of the State of Delaware said Board of Directors, pursuant to unanimous written consent dated February 27, 2006, adopted a resolution establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of, and the number of shares comprising, the Corporation's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is as follows:
 
RESOLVED, that a series of Preferred Stock in M-Wave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), having the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, and the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, set forth below be, and it hereby is, authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority given by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and determines the Designations of, the number of shares constituting, and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to, a new series of Preferred Stock as follows:
 
(a)     Determination.   The series of Preferred Stock is hereby designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
 
(b)     Authorized Shares.   The number of authorized shares constituting the Series B Preferred Stock shall be seventy thousand 70,000 shares of such series.
 
(c)     Dividends.   Commencing on the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock out of funds legally available therefor a monthly dividend (the “Dividend”), at an annual rate equal to 15%; provided, however, that the annual rate shall be 9% from and after the date the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement for the Series B Preferred Stock) is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Dividend shall be payable monthly in arrears in cash on the last day of each month based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of the first day of such month. The holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, any such other dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

(d)    Liquidation Preference.
 
(i)     Preference upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.   In the event of any dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, an amount equal to (x) the Series B Purchase Price per share of Series B Preferred Stock held (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations of the Series B Preferred Stock) plus (y) any declared but unpaid dividends on such share plus (z) in the event of a Sale Transaction that is deemed by the Corporation to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation pursuant to subsection (iii) of this paragraph (d), an amount equal to the six percent (6%) of the Series B Purchase Price per share of Series B Preferred Stock held, before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with regard to any distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably, in accordance with the respective preferential amounts payable on such stock, in any distribution which is not sufficient to pay in full the aggregate of the amounts payable thereon. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to such shareholders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then all of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive that portion of the assets available for distribution as the number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Such payment shall constitute payment in full to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. After such payment shall have been made in full, or funds necessary for such payment shall have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the account of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, so as to be available for such payment, such holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no further participation in the distribution of the assets of the Corporation.
 
(ii)    Consolidation, Merger and Other Corporate Events.   A consolidation or merger of the Corporation (except into or with a subsidiary corporation) or any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from no par to par, or from par to no par or as the result of an event described in subsection (iv), (v), (vi) or (viii) of paragraph (f)), shall be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (d); provided however, in the case of a merger, if (a) the Company is the surviving entity, (b) the Company’s shareholders hold a majority of the shares of the surviving entity, and (c) the Company’s directors hold a majority of the seats on the board of directors of the surviving entity, then such merger shall not be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this paragraph (d). In no event shall the issuance of new classes of stock, whether senior, junior or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, or any stock splits, be deemed a “reclassification” under or otherwise limited by the terms hereof.

(iii)     Sale of Assets.    In the event of a sale, lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange, transfer or other disposition of material assets of the Corporation other than in the ordinary course of business (a “Sale Transaction”), the proceeds of such Sale Transaction shall be held in a reserve account at the bank currently utilized by the Corporation and, for so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, none of such proceeds shall be released from such account except to satisfy amounts due to holders of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (i) of this paragraph (d). For purposes of this subsection (iii), a sale, lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange, transfer or other disposition of assets shall be considered material if the proceeds from the disposition thereof exceed $25,000, net of selling and vendor expenses allocated to such asset. The Corporation may elect to regard a Sale Transaction as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph (d). 
 
(iv)     Distribution of Cash and Other Assets.   In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation resulting in the availability of assets other than cash for distribution to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a distribution of cash and/or assets equal to the value of the liquidation preference stated in subsection (i) of this paragraph (d), which valuation shall be made solely by the Board of Directors, and provided that such Board of Directors was acting in good faith, shall be conclusive.
 
(v)     Distribution to Junior Security Holders.   After the payment or distribution to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no further rights in respect of such Series B Preferred Stock which shall become null and void and the holders of the Common Stock then outstanding, or any other stock of the Corporation ranking as to assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive ratably all of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
 
(vi)     Preference; Priority.   References to a stock that is “senior” to, on a “parity” with or “junior” to other stock as to liquidation shall refer, respectively, to rights of priority of one series or class of stock over another in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be senior to the Common Stock of the Corporation and senior to any subsequent series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation.
 
(e)    Voting Rights.   Except as otherwise required by law, the holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote on matters that come before the shareholders.
 
(f)    Conversion Rights.   The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have the following conversion rights:
 
(i)    Right to Convert.   Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this paragraph (f), any issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time or from time to time into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate in effect at the time of conversion, determined as provided herein; provided, that a holder of Series B Preferred Stock may at any given time convert only up to that number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so that, upon conversion, the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Corporation’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of such holder and all persons affiliated with such holder is not more than 9.99% of the Corporation’s Common Stock then outstanding.

(ii)     Mechanics of Conversion.   Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
 
(iii)     Conversion Price.   The number of shares into which one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing $100.00 (the “Series B Purchase Price”) by the then existing Conversion Price (as set forth below) (the “Conversion Ratio”). The "Conversion Price" per share for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $0.79, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of any event in paragraph (f)(iv)-(vi).
 
(iv)     Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations.   If the Corporation shall at any time, or from time to time after the date shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are first issued (the “Original Issue Date”), effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph (f)(iv) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(v)     Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions.   In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(A)     the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
 
(B)     the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (f)(v) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
 
(vi)     Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions.   In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of such Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph (f) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
(vii)     Adjustment for Reclassification Exchange or Substitution.   If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this paragraph (f)), then and in each such event the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
(viii)     Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets.   If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this paragraph (f)) or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this paragraph (f) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this paragraph (f) (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

(ix)    Certificate of Adjustment.   In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or the securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance herewith and the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer shall prepare and sign a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
M-Wave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby confirms its agreement with Mercator Momentum Fund, LP ("MMF"), Mercator Momentum Fund III, LP ("MMF III"), and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. ("Monarch" and, together with MMF and MMF III, the "Purchasers"), and M.A.G. Capital, LLC ("MAG") as set forth below.
 
1.     The Securities.   Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of: (a) 64,648 shares (the "Shares") of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock"), which shall be convertible into shares (the "Conversion Shares") of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") in accordance with the formula set forth in the Certificate of Designations further described below. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B Stock are as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Series B Preferred Stock as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Certificate of Designations") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The numbers of Conversion Shares that any Purchaser may acquire at any time are subject to limitation in the Certificate of Designations, so that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of which such Purchaser and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock.
 
The Shares are sometimes herein referred to as the "Securities." This Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and the Registration Rights Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Registration Rights Agreement") are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the "Transaction Documents."
 
The Securities will be offered and sold to the Purchasers without such offers and sales being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") promulgated thereunder, the "Securities Act"), in reliance on exemptions therefrom.
 
Each Purchaser and MAG acknowledges that notwithstanding the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company may issue the Conversion Shares in unregistered form; provided, however, that the immediately preceding clause shall not affect the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and under Section 2 and Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement to file the Registration Statement and to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective with the SEC within the applicable periods described herein and in the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has made available (including electronically via the SEC's EDGAR system) to Purchasers its periodic and current reports, forms, schedules, proxy statements and other documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated by reference) filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These reports, forms, schedules, statements, documents, filings and amendments, are collectively referred to as the "Disclosure Documents." All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Disclosure Documents (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules, documents, exhibits and other information which is incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Documents.

(a)     The Disclosure Documents as of their respective dates did not and will not as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to any updated disclosures therein), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Disclosure Documents and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, at the time they were filed or hereafter are filed with the SEC, complied and will comply, at the time of filing, in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, as applicable.

Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers and MAG.
 
(a)     Each Purchaser and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder (including the Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof) are being acquired for its own account for investment and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Securities (including the Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof) or any part thereof or interest therein in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any State. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prejudice or otherwise limit a Purchaser's or MAG's right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Conversion Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser and MAG further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any Person with respect to any of the Securities.
 
-10-


(b)    Each Purchaser and MAG understands that the Securities (including the Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof) have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and, if requested by the Company, based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company) or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.
 
Each Purchaser and MAG agrees to the imprinting, so long as appropriate, of the following legend on the Securities (including the Conversion Shares that it may acquire upon conversion thereof):
 
The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred ("transferred") in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
 
Further with regard to the Series B Stock, the following legend shall be included:
 
Additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to agreements exist and are available upon request from the Company.
 
The legend set forth above may be removed if and when the Conversion Shares are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United States Federal securities laws such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Shares and the Conversion Shares shall also bear any other legends required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable securities laws, the same are no longer required under the applicable requirements of such securities laws. The Company agrees that it will provide each Purchaser, upon request, with a substitute certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable. Each Purchaser agrees that, in connection with any transfer of the Conversion Shares by it pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, it will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company makes no representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the Shares or the Conversion Shares.
 
-11-


(c)     Each Purchaser and MAG is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Neither Purchaser nor MAG learned of the opportunity to acquire Shares or any other security issuable by the Company through any form of general advertising or public solicitation.
 
(d)     Each Purchaser and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, having been represented by counsel, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
 
(e)     Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it has been duly and properly authorized and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it or on its behalf and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity; (ii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not conflict with or violate its charter, by-laws or any law, regulation or court order applicable to it; and (iii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not impose any penalty or other onerous condition on the Purchaser under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation.
 
(f)     Each Purchaser and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that neither it nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, members, or controlling persons has taken, or will take, directly or indirectly, any actions designed, or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, the destabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock.
 
(g)     Each Purchaser and MAG acknowledges it or its representatives have reviewed the Disclosure Documents and further acknowledges that it or its representatives have been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Company's financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Disclosure Documents.
 
(h)     Each Purchaser and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that it has based its investment decision solely upon the information contained in the Disclosure Documents and such other information as may have been provided to it or its representatives by the Company in response to its inquiries, and has not based its investment decision on any research or other report regarding the Company prepared by any third party ("Third Party Reports"). Each Purchaser and MAG understands and acknowledges that (i) the Company does not endorse any Third Party Reports and (ii) its actual results may differ materially from those projected in any Third Party Report.
 
-12-


(i)     Each Purchaser and MAG understands and acknowledges that (i) any forward-looking information included in the Disclosure Documents is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Disclosure Documents; and (ii) the Company's actual results may differ materially from those projected by the Company or its management in such forward-looking information.
 
(j)    Each Purchaser and MAG understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company and its counsel will rely upon, the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
 
7.     Covenants of Purchasers.   Purchasers and MAG, on behalf of themselves and their affiliates and the permitted assignee of any Conversion Shares hereby covenant and agree not to, directly or indirectly, offer to "short sell", contract to "short sell" or otherwise "short sell" any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that will be received as a result of the conversion of the Series B Stock.
 
 
8.
Termination.
 
(a)     This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Company by notice to each Purchaser if at the Closing Date:
 
(i)     the representations and warranties made by any Purchaser in Section 6 are not true and correct in all material respects; or
 
(ii)     as to the Company, the sale of the Securities hereunder (i) is prohibited or enjoined by any applicable law or governmental regulation or (ii) subjects the Company to any penalty, or in its reasonable judgment, other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or government regulation that would materially reduce the benefits to the Company of the sale of the Securities to such Purchaser, so long as such regulation, law or onerous condition was not in effect in such form at the date of this Agreement.
 
(b)     This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser by notice to the Company given in the event that (i) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to satisfy all material conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) if after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, trading in securities of the Company on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market shall have been suspended and the Company ceases to be publicly traded.
 
(c)     This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of all parties.

Form of Legal Opinion
 
(Delivered to Purchasers at the Closing)
 
1.     The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power to own its properties and to conduct its business.
 
2.     The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform the transaction documents, including the Exhibits thereto (the "Transaction Documents"). The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action by the Company and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, equitable principles and other customary exceptions).
 
(a)     As of the date hereof, in accordance with its Certificate of Incorporation on file with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, and 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)     The shares of the Company's Series B Stock have been duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery, and payment therefor as described in the Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
(c)     The shares of the Company's Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Stock sold have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance and delivery upon conversion of the Shares as described in the Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
3.     The Company's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the issue and sale of the Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, will not violate any law of the United States or the State of Delaware any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States or the State of Delaware or any provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
 
4.     No consent, approval, order or authorization of, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents or Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under applicable securities laws.
 
5.     On the assumption that the representations of the Company and the Purchasers in the Subscription Agreement are correct and complete, the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, under such securities laws as they presently exist, the issuance of the Company's Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares would also be exempt from such registration.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
 
AGREEMENT dated as of March 1, 2006, between MERCATOR MOMENTUM FUND, L.P., MERCATOR MOMENTUM FUND III, L.P, MONARCH POINTE FUND, LTD. (collectively, the "Funds") and M.A.G. CAPITAL, LLC ("MAG") (the Funds and MAG are referred to individually as a "Holder" and collectively as the "Holders"), and M-WAVE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2006, among the Company and the Holders (the "Subscription Agreement"), the Funds are purchasing, in exchange for certain securities and the cancellation of certain indebtedness, an aggregate of 64,648 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (together, the "Series B Stock") from the Company, and have the right to cause their Series B Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, pursuant to the conversion formula set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of M-Wave, Inc. (the "Certificate of Designations"); 
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2004, among the Company and the Holders (the "Series A Subscription Agreement"), the Funds purchased an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (together, the "Series A Stock") from the Company, and have the right to cause their Series A Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the conversion formula set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of M-Wave, Inc.;
 
WHEREAS, the Holders acquired warrants (collectively, the "Warrants") from the Company pursuant to the Series A Subscription Agreement and in connection with Promissory Notes issued by the Company in favor of the Funds on June 16, 2005, and the Holders, together, have the right to purchase in the aggregate up to 2,131,449 shares of the Common Stock through the exercise of the Warrants;
 
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Holders the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Stock and the Series B Stock and upon the exercise of the Warrants.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
 
1.     Registrable Securities.   As used herein the terms "Registrable Security" means each of the shares of Common Stock (i) issued upon the conversion of the Series B Stock (the "B Conversion Shares"), (ii) issued upon the conversion of the Series A Stock (the "A Conversion Shares," and together with the A Conversion Shares, the "Conversion Shares") and (iii) issued upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares"), provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination that (a) it has been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and disposed of pursuant thereto, or (b) registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for the immediate public distribution of such security. The term "Registrable Securities" means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a "Registrable Security." In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1.

2.
Registration.
 
(a)     The Company shall file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on or prior to the Filing Deadline (as defined below), in order to register the resale of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act. Once effective, the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, or (ii) the date that the Company receives an opinion of counsel to the Company that all of the Registrable Securities may be freely traded without registration under the Securities Act, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise. The term "Filing Deadline" means (i) in the event that within 45 days after the Closing Date (as that term is defined in the Subscription Agreement) the Company enters into any agreement (a "Merger Agreement") to effect a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, sale of substantial assets or similar transaction, the date that is 45 days after the Company enters into such Merger Agreement, or (ii) in the event that the Company does not enter into a Merger Agreement within 45 days after the Closing Date, the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date.
 
(b)     The Company will initially include in the Registration Statement as Registrable Securities 11,870,453 shares of Common Stock.
 
(c)     Depending on whether the Registration Statement has previously become effective with the Commission, the Company shall register additional shares if and as required pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or the Certificate of Designations either by amending the Registration Statement to increase the number of shares that it covers or by filing a new registration statement. Any such new registration statement shall thereafter be deemed part of the Registration Statement for the purposes of this Agreement.
 
 
3.
Covenants of the Company with Respect to Registration.
 
The Company covenants and agrees as follows:
 
(a)     The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective with the Commission as promptly as possible and (i) in the event that the Company enters into a Merger Agreement within 45 days after the Closing Date, not later than 150 days after the date the Company enters into such Merger Agreement and (ii) in the event that the Company does not enter into a Merger Agreement within 45 days after the Closing Date, within 60 days of the date the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission. If any stop order shall be issued by the Commission in connection therewith, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain promptly the removal of such order. Following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall, upon the request of any Holder, forthwith supply such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus and prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, and any other documents necessary or incidental to the public offering of the Registrable Securities, as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder to permit the Holder to make a public distribution of the Holder's Registrable Securities. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the Holder's Registrable Securities are subject to the Holder's furnishing to the Company such appropriate information concerning the Holder, the Holder's Registrable Securities and the terms of the Holder's offering of such Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request in writing.
 
-2-


(b)     The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, and blue sky fees and expenses; provided, however, that each Holder shall be solely responsible for the fees of any counsel retained by the Holder in connection with such registration and any transfer taxes or underwriting discounts, commissions or fees applicable to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holder pursuant thereto.
 
(c)     The Company will take all necessary actions which may be required to qualify or register the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as are reasonably requested by each Holder of such securities, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.

-3-


(b)     If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding section is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
 
(c)     Neither the filing of a Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to this Agreement nor the making of any request for prospectuses by the Holder shall impose upon any Holder any obligation to sell the Holder's Registrable Securities.
 
(d)     Each Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company that an event has occurred which requires a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus included therein, shall promptly discontinue the sale of Registrable Securities until the Holder receives a copy of a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company, which the Company shall provide as soon as practicable after such notice.

(g)     The Company agrees that it shall cause each of its directors, officers and shareholders owning ten percent (10%) or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock to refrain from selling any shares of the Company's Common Stock until the Registration Statement has been declared effective.

VOTING AGREEMENT
 
AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") entered into as of February 6, 2006, by and between Joseph A. Turek (the "Shareholder"), M.A.G. Capital, LLC, a California limited liability company ("M.A.G."), and Mercator Momentum Fund III, a California limited partnership (the "Lender"), Mercator Momentum Fund, a California limited partnership ("Momentum Fund"), and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("MPF" and, with the Lender and Momentum Fund, the "M.A.G. Funds").
 
RECITALS
 
The Shareholder is the owner of voting securities of M-Wave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). M.A.G. and the M.A.G. Funds (together, the "M.A.G. Parties") also own securities issued by the Company. The Company is indebted to the Lender. The Company has requested that the Lender enter into an agreement with the Company entitled First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreements (the "Amendment") to modify certain of the terms of the indebtedness of the Company to the Lender.
 
The Company has further requested that the M.A.G. Funds enter into various agreements with the Company that provide for the exchange by the M.A.G. Funds of senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company for its shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company and warrants to purchase common stock (the "Series B Agreements"). The Series B Agreements provide that the Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock of the Company, but that the amount of common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such conversion is limited to that number of shares of common stock that constitutes 19.9% of the outstanding common stock on the date of the Agreements unless and until the Shareholders of the Company approve the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock free from this limitation (the "Shareholder Approval").
 
The Company intends to attempt to identify and pursue a transaction in which the Company would make a significant acquisition of another company or the business or assets of another company (an "Acquisition"). The Board of Directors of the Company has established a special committee of the board (the "Committee") to review and consider potential Acquisitions.
 
The Lender requires, as a condition to its execution of the Amendment, and the M.A.G. Funds require, as a condition to their execution of the Series B Agreements, that the Shareholder enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Shareholder agrees to vote all of the voting securities of the Company that he owns or otherwise controls (i) in favor of any Acquisition that is recommended by the Committee (a "Recommended Acquisition"), (ii) in favor of any related proposal or transaction that is necessary to effect any Recommended Acquisition, and (iii) in favor of the Shareholder Approval. The Shareholder believes that the Amendment and the Series B Agreements will provide a direct benefit to the Company and an indirect benefit to him as a shareholder of the Company and has agreed to enter into this Agreement to induce the Lender to execute the Amendment and the M.A.G. Funds to execute the Series B Agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(c)     No consent, approval, order or authorization of any court, administrative agency or other governmental entity or any other person as required by or with respect to the Shareholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder;

Parties under this Section 5, nor the aggregate liability of the M.A.G. Parties to the Shareholder under this Section 5, shall exceed the product of the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of this Agreement and the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company held by the Shareholder on the date of this Agreement.
 
6.     Specific Performance.   The Shareholder acknowledges that irreparable injury would occur in the event any of the provisions hereof were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Shareholder agrees that each of the M.A.G. Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States or any state thereof, in addition to any other remedy to which any of the M.A.G. Parties may be entitled at law or equity.
 
7.     Termination.   This Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the commitment made by the Shareholder in Section 1.

Financing Agreement with M.A.G. Capital Will Bring
Company Into Compliance With NASD Rules


FRANKLIN PARK, IL--(MARKET WIRE)— March 1, 2006 -- M-Wave, Inc. (NasdaqCM: MWAV - News), an international electronic procurement services firm and virtual manufacturer of customer-specified electronic components (“M-Wave”) indicated it has closed a $6.5 Million financial recapitalization lead by affiliates of M.A.G.

The financing will eliminate all of M-Wave’s non-trade debt by converting approximately $2.2 Million in secured and $2.4 Million in unsecured liabilities into preferred equity, plus add approximately $1.9 Million of new capital.

M-Wave received a NASDAQ Staff Deficiency Letter on November 22, 2005 indicating that it failed to comply with the Stockholders' Equity, Market Value of Publicly Held Shares and Net Income from Continuing Operations requirements for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B), which requires M-Wave to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholder's equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. M-Wave’s common stock was thus subject to delisting. M-Wave made a written submission to the NASDAQ staff of its plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all of The NASDAQ Capital Market listing requirements, including the time frame for completion of such plan. Last week, M-Wave appeared before NASDAQ to appeal its delisting and disclosed it had reached an accord with M.A.G. that satisfies NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) that requires it to have a minimum of $2.5 Million in stockholders’ equity.

The debt and equity is consolidated into new, restricted, fixed conversion, Series B Preferred shares issued at a premium to market of $.79 with no registration penalties and an incentive-based “step-down” dividend rate of 15% or 9% depending upon the timing in achieving certain registration and effectiveness requirements of the underlying common shares.

M-Wave previously issued approximately 2.1 Million common stock purchase warrants to M.A.G. between July 2004 and June 2005 at varying “strike” prices ranging between $1.02 and $1.27 per share. In connection with this issuance of the Series B Preferred shares it has agreed to re-price those warrants at a strike price of $.01 over the closing price of its publicly-traded common shares directly preceding closing of the Series B, or $0.69.

The restrictions on the Series B Preferred include a stipulation that M.A.G. will not have a voting stake in the Company nor hold common shares on a fully aggregated basis greater than 19.99% at any time. The conversion price is a fixed price of $.79 that represents approximately a 20% premium to market based upon pricing directly preceding closing. The dividend reduces from 15% to 9% at such time when registration of the underlying common shares becomes effective.



M-Wave believes it has achieved compliance with SEC accounting rules by the filing of its Amendment to Form 8-K on February 27, 2006 adding financial disclosure relating to the acquisition of Jayco Ventures, Inc. (initially disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2005). M-Wave expects to file a proxy statement, and seek to schedule a meeting of its shareholders in the coming 90 days to discuss a wide variety of corporate matters including actions to support its continued compliance with NASDAQ rules; extraordinary and routine matters normally covered in its Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Jim Mayer, Interim CEO and Chief Restructuring office commented: “The new capital provides the Company the resources it needs to achieve NASDAQ compliance, complete its restructuring, including the liquidation of its former satellite components division, and to become increasingly efficient in its core business. It also allows us to investigate strategic options that may include a the eventual sale or combination of M-Wave with another company that would seek to achieve measurable shareholder value. We look at this as a significantly positive event.”

M-Wave expects to make further public announcements in the coming weeks.
