Revenues were $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 and $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. Net loss, calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), for the second quarter of 2008 was $760,000, or $0.08 per share, compared with net loss for the second quarter of 2007 of $1.9 million, or $0.16 per share, and net loss for the first quarter of 2008 of $1.9 million, or $0.21 per share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $648,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2007 of $489,000, or $0.04 per share, and non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2008 of $603,000 or $0.07 per share. For the second quarter of 2008, non-GAAP net loss was calculated by excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and amortization of intangible assets of $328,000. For the second quarter of 2007, non-GAAP net income was calculated by excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and amortization of intangible assets of $270,000. For the first quarter of 2008, non-GAAP net income was calculated by excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and amortization of intangible assets of $328,000. Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2008 were $44.0 million, compared with $47.4 million at March 31, 2008. "We are pleased to have generated strong revenue gains in the second quarter,” said Ed Keible, Endwave's CEO and President. "Our growth in quarterly revenues was largely the result of increased demand from Nokia Siemens Networks and increased momentum with our non-telecom customers. Endwave’s investment in new high-frequency markets that complement our telecom business is beginning to provide the expected benefits as evidenced by this quarter’s strong 78% year-over-year growth in non-telecom revenues.” Conference Call Endwave Corporation will hold a conference call to discuss its financial results today at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information To supplement Endwave's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Endwave uses certain measures of financial performance that are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures may include gross margin, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share data that are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Endwave’s current financial performance and Endwave’s prospects for the future. Specifically, Endwave believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its core operating results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.

Words such as "plans,” "intends,” "expects,” "believes” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.
