         On June 27, 1997, REMEC, Inc. (the "Registrant") effected a
three-for-two split of the Registrant's Common Stock, in the form of a stock
dividend. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), the Registrant's Form S-8 Registration Statement (File No.

number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Magnum Microwave Corporation
1990 Employee Stock Option Plan and REMEC, Inc. 1996 Nonemployee Directors Stock

further amended to reflect that the number of shares registered includes an
indeterminate number of additional shares that may be issued to adjust the
number of shares issued pursuant to such employee benefit plans as the result of
any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the Registrant's
outstanding common stock.
