Overview

During fiscal year 2005, we engaged the services of financial advisors to evaluate strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which included exploring the disposition of some or all of our business units. It was determined that in the best interest of shareholder value that the Company divest all remaining product line business units. During fiscal 2006, with shareholder approval, the Company divested all its remaining business units and adopted the Plan of Dissolution, effective September 3, 2005. On May 20, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the Defense & Space group to Chelton Microwave. On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities constituting a substantial portion of the Electronic Manufacturing Services business to Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC and Samjor Family Limited Partnership. On August 26, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the Outdoor Unit/Transceiver business to Wireless Holdings International, Inc. On September 2, 2005, the Company sold the Wireless Systems business unit to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. The Wireless Systems business was the last remaining REMEC product line business unit.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the disposition of its remaining business assets, including the completion of outstanding litigation and the payment of liabilities. During this period, we will not continue our business as a going concern.

Our Plan of Dissolution provides us with authority to retain a third party liquidator or trust without further approval by our shareholders at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We may determine that the continued liquidation of REMEC may be more efficiently handled by retaining a third party liquidator or trust to manage the liquidation process. In particular, we may determine to do so at such time as our outstanding litigation and other significant creditor claims have been resolved. We cannot predict when or if these matters will be resolved, or when or if we will engage a third party liquidator or trust.

Since the Company is in liquidation without continuing operations, the need to present future quarterly Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income Statements as well as a Statements of Cash Flows is eliminated.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting and Plan of Dissolution

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted. Uncertainties as to the precise net value of our non-cash assets and the ultimate amount of our liabilities make it impracticable to predict the aggregate net value that may ultimately be distributable to shareholders. Claims, liabilities and future expenses for operations, although currently declining in the aggregate, will continue to be incurred with execution of the plan. These costs will reduce the amount of net assets available for ultimate distribution to shareholders. Although we do not believe that a precise estimate of those expenses can currently be made, we believe that available cash and amounts received from sales of non-cash assets will be adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, and to make cash distributions to shareholders. If available cash and amounts received from sales of non-cash assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, estimated future distributions of cash to our shareholders will be reduced.

Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation increased approximately $0.05 million, or $0.002 per
share, to $24.99 million for the quarter ended May 1, 2009 from $24.95 million
as of January 31, 2009. (In thousands, except per share data):

The following paragraphs summarize certain material actions and events which have occurred regarding the Company's liquidation process during the quarter ended May 1, 2009.

Net assets in liquidation increased approximately $0.05 million for the three months ended May 1, 2009. The increase in net assets in liquidation was primarily due to the reserve decrease of approximately $0.7 million in estimated insurance expense related to our D&O policy premium, increasing net assets in liquidation.

Increases in net assets in liquidation were offset by approximately $0.65 million, including a reserve increase in estimated taxes payable of approximately $0.2 million for the change in estimated penalties and interest. Other changes in net assets in liquidation include increases in costs to be incurred during liquidation of approximately $0.45 million related to, operating costs, net, associated with winding up operations; insurance amortization primarily D&O, insurance expense primarily workers' compensation, compensation costs for our two executive officers, and legal fees.

Results of Operations

In connection with the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, and the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting for all periods subsequent to September 2, 2005, we do not generate revenue and have no supply of product available for sale, and, therefore, we do not incur cost of revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 1, 2009, net assets in liquidation totaled $25.0 million. Total assets of $35.2 million include approximately $32.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.8 million of restricted cash held as security on letters of credit. Receivables and other assets consist of approximately $0.4 million, which includes notes receivables of approximately $0.2 million. Total assets are offset by approximately $10.2 million of estimated total liabilities to be incurred during liquidation, consisting of approximately $7.7 million in taxes payable and approximately $2.5 million of estimated operating costs.

We expect to use our capital resources to execute and complete our Plan of Dissolution, settle existing claims against the Company, including existing litigation and other current liabilities and accrued expenses, and to make liquidating distributions to our shareholders. Capital resources available for liquidating distributions to shareholders may vary if we incur greater than estimated operating expenses associated with executing the Plan of Dissolution, actual settlement costs for existing claims against the Company may vary from estimates, or if there are existing, but unknown claims made against us in the future. We intend to distribute net assets

in liquidation to shareholders as liquidating distributions as promptly as practicable as we convert our remaining assets to cash. At May 1, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were held primarily in money market funds and other bank deposit accounts. We expect to continue to hold our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds while we execute the Plan of Dissolution.

Distributions

On August 2, 2005, we filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with an estimate of the cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC's Wireless Systems business unit to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were ultimately expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in total cash distributions and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. In September 2005, 10 million shares of Powerwave stock were issued to the shareholders of record on September 13, 2005 of REMEC stock at a ratio of 0.3443 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held. On October 4, 2005, an initial cash liquidating distribution was made to shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005 at a rate of $1.35 per share totaling approximately $39.2 million.

On October 19, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a cash liquidating distribution of approximately $22.5 million, or $0.75 per share to shareholders of record as of November 1, 2006 pursuant to our Plan of Dissolution. On November 8, 2006, a cash liquidating distribution was made to all shareholders of record as of November 1, 2006 at a rate of $0.75 per share, totaling approximately $22.5 million.

On December 14, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a cash liquidating distribution of approximately $22.5 million, or $0.75 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 14, 2007 pursuant to our Plan of Dissolution. On December 21, 2007, a cash liquidating distribution was made to all shareholders of record as of December 14, 2007 at a rate of $0.75 per share, totaling approximately $22.5 million.

On June 17, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a cash liquidating distribution of approximately $15.0 million, or $0.50 per share to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 27, 2008 pursuant to our Plan of Dissolution. On July 7, 2008, a cash liquidating distribution was made to all shareholders of record as of June 27, 2008 at a rate of $0.50 per share, totaling approximately $15.0 million.

The sources for payment of these distributions were funds made available from the settlement of liabilities and the liquidation of assets.

Subsequent cash distributions are pending, subject to review by REMEC's Board of Directors of the Company's remaining obligations. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations makes the actual amount and timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range from $0.75 to $0.83 per common share.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of May 1, 2009, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of May 1, 2009 are reported in the statements of net assets in liquidation as accrued expenses and accounts payable or estimated costs to be incurred during liquidation. Obligations and commitments of the Company include facility operating leases, all of which, except for the principal executive office, are fully subleased. As of May 1, 2009 the accrual for the estimated net lease settlements on the remaining facility obligations is approximately $0.1 million net of sublease payments totaling approximately $1.7 million.
