* Net Sales Increase from First Quarter of FY 2009

* Profitable for Seventh Consecutive Quarter

* Company to Host Conference Call Today at 1:00 PM PDT 

CAMARILLO, Calif. -- AML Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:AMLJ) today announced results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2009. Net sales for the first quarter were $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net income for the quarter was $92,000, or $0.01 per share. Net income for last year's first quarter was $451,000, or $0.04 per share, which included a one-time, pre-tax book entry gain of $521,000.

"AML's first quarter results mark our solid seventh consecutive profitable quarter and year-over-year revenue growth. Even so, these results do not reflect the positive sales momentum we achieved in recent months, which included a $1.5 million order in June and a $2.2 million order in July. These orders are being processed, and the financial impact is expected during the balance of the current fiscal year," said Jacob Inbar, President and Chief Executive Officer of AML.

AML/MPI Defense Segment

The Company's core business is microwave amplifiers and integrated assemblies used by the defense industry in electronic warfare systems. This business is conducted by the Company's two largest divisions, AML and MPI, which account for over 95% of the Company's revenues.

Defense segment revenue for the quarter was $3.2 million while generating a net profit of $80,000. Revenue for the period reflects low production rates that did not benefit from the increased bookings seen during the last six months. With engineering and production preparations for these orders complete, we have recently commenced high level production. The financial impacts are forecasted to occur during the balance of the current fiscal year.

A significant driver of the Company's revenues and profits is AML's participation in the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) program now underway. Stockholders were also made aware by management a few years ago of a very large contract win with a potential valued at $30 Million. With this program well under way, AML's position as a supplier of critical products for these programs and the multi-year high dollar value of these contracts should also position the Company for future programs wins from the major defense contractors.

The company wishes to note that the increasing success taking place at AML this year and the successes we plan to deliver in the future could not have come about without the extraordinary contributions from every AML employee.

Energy Management Segment (Mica-Tech)

The Company's Mica-Tech segment designs, manufactures and markets an intelligent satellite system that provides Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) of the electric power grid.

Mica-Tech's revenues for the quarter were $158,000 while generating a net profit of $12,000. The principal activity at Mica-Tech is the completion of product development for third-generation sub-station controllers. On July 13, 2009, the Company announced its intention to apply for a $2 million grant under the Department of Energy's Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program.
