                         for the second quarter of 1997.
             ------------------------------------------------------

WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO, August 14, 1997 - Antennas America, Inc.  (OTC:
BB:ANTM)  Antennas  America,  Inc.  reported  record  sales of $744,606  for the
quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  an  increase  of 67% from the  $445,541 in sales
reported  for the same  quarter in 1996.  For the first  half of 1997,  Antennas
America, Inc. sales increased 41% from the same period last year. Net income for
the second  quarter of 1997 increased to $37,749 from $4,149 for the same period
in 1996. In addition,  Gross Profit  Margin (gross profit  divided by net sales)
increased 9% as compared to the same period last year and Selling  General,  and
Administrative expenses increased 43%. The increase in SG&A expenses is a result
of the increased  marketing,  advertising and personnel expenses associated with
the sales of the new Freedom(TM) and Walldo(TM) antenna systems.

Randall P. Marx, Chief Executive  Officer of Antennas  America,  Inc. stated "We
are pleased with the progress  thus far in 1997 in terms of growth in both sales
and earnings. Sales of the new Freedom(TM) and Walldo(TM) antenna systems are on
track,   and  sales  of  the  Company's   patented   mobile  antenna  line  were
significantly stronger than anticipated, with a larger portion of these sales to
new international  customers.  During the second quarter,  orders for flat panel
antennas also increased  creating a backlog for deliveries in September and O.E.
(Original Equipment) sales also increased.

"The primary  strength of Antennas America is its  diversification.  The Company
manufactures  and  markets  several  different  products  for  various  wireless
technologies.  The  Company's  licensing  agreement  with  DIRECTV(R) to use the
DSS(R) trademark has supported our marketing efforts of the Freedom(TM) antenna.
The sales of the Freedom(TM) and Walldo(TM) antennas are evident in the increase
in revenues in the second  quarter.  Due to the projected  increase in these and
other flat panel  antenna  products  currently  in  production,  we have made an
investment in new  equipment  and  machinery to further  support the increase in
production."

"Another  notable event that occurred during the quarter was the securing of the
$500,000 credit  facility with Norwest  Business  Credit,  Inc., a subsidiary of
Norwest Bank, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The use of this line of credit will enable
the Company to better pursue our planned growth and new product development."

"It is hoped that these factors strengthen shareholder value and will contribute
to Antennas America, Inc.'s future growth."
