AML COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2011 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Company to Host Conference Call Today at 1:00 PM PT

CAMARILLO, California, February 14, 2011 -- AML Communications, Inc. (AMLJ.OB) today announced results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Net sales for the third quarter were $4.1 million, compared to $4.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  Net income for the quarter was $333,000, or $0.03 per share, compared to $423,000, or $0.04 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
 
CEO Commentary on Significant Events

During the quarter we commenced ahead of schedule, deliveries for our $3.7 million order announced earlier in the fiscal year. The increase in revenues from the second quarter to the third quarter reflects the impact of these deliveries. The comparison between the third quarter and the same quarter last year reflects a one time large delivery that impacted the third quarter last year.
Sales activity remains brisk with customer’s inquiries and requests for quotations led by radar, and electronic warfare programs.

Today we also announced that Anaren, Inc. and AML Communications entered into an agreement and plan of merger in which Anaren agreed to purchase all outstanding common stock of AML Communications on a fully-diluted basis for approximately $29,302,000.  The transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including without limitation, approval by the AML stockholders.  The closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur after shortly after a special meeting of the AML stockholders is held with respect to the offering.
