          ENDWAVE REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS

   ENDWAVE RETURNS TO PROFITABILITY IN Q2 ON 62% YEAR-OVER-YEAR REVENUE GROWTH

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Endwave Corporation
(Nasdaq: ENWV), a leading provider of high-frequency RF modules for
telecommunications networks, defense electronics and homeland security systems,
today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2005.

    Endwave reported revenues of $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2005,
compared with revenues of $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $9.1
million for the first quarter of 2005. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments as of June 30, 2005 were $22.0 million compared with a balance of
$24.8 million at March 31, 2005.

    Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $318,000, or earnings of $0.03
per diluted share, compared with a net loss for the second quarter of 2004 of
$429,000, or a loss of $0.04 per share, and a net loss for the first quarter of
2005 of $847,000, or a loss of $0.08 per share.

    Pro forma net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $424,000, or
earnings of $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a pro forma net loss for the
second quarter of 2004 of $344,000, or a loss of $0.04 per share, and a pro
forma net loss for the first quarter of 2005 of $672,000, or a loss of $0.06 per
share.

    For the second quarter of 2005, pro forma net income was calculated by
excluding the amortization of intangible assets of $152,000 and a restructuring
benefit of $46,000. For the second quarter of 2004, pro forma net loss was
calculated by excluding the amortization of deferred stock compensation of
$85,000. For the first quarter of 2005, pro forma net loss was calculated by
excluding the amortization of intangible assets of $175,000. Management believes
that excluding the items described above may permit investors to better compare
results from period to period and more accurately assess the company's
prospects.

    "Endwave's continued momentum in telecom, defense electronics and homeland
security markets produced strong revenue and margin growth that fueled our
profitability in the second quarter," said Ed Keible, Endwave's CEO and
President. "First half revenues are up 50% from last year, with substantial
increases in both legacy and new product sales that will position us well for
sustained growth in the second half of 2005," added Keible.

    Endwave Second Quarter 2005 Summary:

       quarter of 2004, and 35% higher than the first quarter of 2005.

       and other non-telecom markets by 237% from the second quarter of 2004, to
