        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.
333-27353) (the "Registration Statement") is hereby amended to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the REMEC, Inc. Profit Sharing
401(K) Plan from 400,000 shares to 600,000 shares. The Registration Statement is
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 plan as the result of
any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the Registrant's
outstanding common stock.
