Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On August 26, 1996 REMEC Acquisition Corporation, a California
corporation ("RAC") and wholly-owned subsidiary of REMEC, Inc. a California
corporation (the "Registrant"), merged (the "Merger") with and into Magnum
Microwave Corporation, a California corporation ("Magnum"). As a result of the
Merger, RAC ceased to exist, all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of Magnum were converted into approximately 1,081,486 shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock, and Magnum became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

         To determine the consideration paid to the shareholders of Magnum, the
Registrant considered such factors as the complementary product lines and
potential long-term benefits that may result from the Merger, historical
performance of the Registrant and Magnum, managerial and technical strengths of
the Registrant and Magnum, potential benefits to shareholders of the Registrant
and fairness to the Registrant of the ratio at which the shares of Magnum Common
Stock were converted into Common Stock of the Registrant.

         Magnum designs, develops, manufactures and markets radio frequency and
microwave components and subsystems that are used in telecommunications systems,
avionics, test instrumentation and military electronics.
