PLAINVIEW, NEW YORK, August 16, 2006 -- Aeroflex Incorporated (Nasdaq Symbol:
ARXX), today announced operating results for its fiscal 2006 fourth quarter and
fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2006.

                                                                   %

      (a) Includes contributions from fourth quarter 2005 acquisitions; organic
      growth amounted to 16%.

Pro forma gross profit margins were 45.7%, compared to 47.6% last year and pro
forma operating income of $19.7 million increased 37% compared to last year. The
fourth quarter 2006 margins and operating income were adversely affected by a
$3.9 million (2.6% of sales) adjustment to a development contract in our Radar
Test Systems division, that we expect to recover in fiscal 2007. The fourth
quarter pro forma results from continuing operations exclude the following
items:

On a GAAP basis, gross profit margins for the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter were
45.1% compared to 46.9% last year. The effect of the adjustment related to the
development contract in our Radar division adversely impacted our gross profit
margins in the fourth quarter by 2.6%. Operating income for the fiscal 2006
fourth quarter increased 96% compared to last year. Income from continuing
operations for the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter amounted to $8.0 million, or $.10
per diluted share, compared with $2.2 million, or $.03 per diluted share, last
year representing a per share increase of 233%. The quarterly results were
meaningfully impacted by:

o     a $1.8 million ($1.1 million after tax or $0.01 per share) charge for
      share based compensation in fiscal 2006 (for which there was no comparable
      expense in the prior year);
o     a $3.5 million ($2.2 million after tax or $0.03 per share) charge for
      amortization of acquired intangibles in fiscal 2006, compared to $2.7
      million ($1.5 million after tax or $0.02 per share) in fiscal 2005 related
      to our acquisitions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005;
o     a $2.0 million ($1.3 million after tax or $0.02 per share) charge in
      fiscal 2006 for restructuring costs, compared to $1.4 million ($0.8
      million after tax or $0.01 per share) in fiscal 2005; and
o     fiscal 2005 charges of $3.0 million ($3.0 million after tax or $0.04 per
      share) for acquired in-process research and development and $0.8 million
      ($0.5 million after tax, or $0.01 per share) for an acquisition related
      inventory adjustment (for which there were no comparable items in the
      current fiscal year).

      For the year:
                                                      %

Pro forma gross profit margins were 47.3%, compared to 47.4% last year and pro

development contract adjustment had a 70 basis points adverse affect on the 2006
gross margins. The full year pro forma results from continuing operations
exclude the following items:

      Kingdom.







On a GAAP basis, gross profit margins for fiscal 2006 were 46.8% compared to
47.2% last year. The effect of the adjustment to the development contract in our
Radar division adversely impacted our gross profit margins in fiscal 2006 by 70
basis points. Operating income for fiscal 2006 increased 38% compared to last
year. Income from continuing operations for fiscal 2006 increased 51% to $28.1
million, or $.37 per diluted share, compared with $18.6 million, or $.25 per
diluted share last year. The full year results were meaningfully impacted by:

o     a $6.8 million ($4.2 million after tax or $0.05 per share) charge for
      share based compensation in fiscal 2006 (for which there was no comparable
      expense in the prior year);
o     a $13.8 million ($8.5 million after tax or $0.11 per share) charge in
      fiscal 2006 for amortization of acquired intangibles compared with $8.9
      million ($5.3 million after tax or $0.07 per share) in fiscal 2005 related
      to our acquisitions in the fourth quarter 2005;
o     a $1.1 million ($0.7 million after tax or $0.01 per share) charge in
      fiscal 2006 for an acquisition related inventory adjustment compared with
      $0.8 million ($0.5 million after tax charge or $0.01 per share) in fiscal
      2005;
o     a $3.2 million ($2.0 million after tax or $0.03 per share) charge in
      fiscal 2006 for restructuring costs compared with a $3.1 million ($1.9
      million after tax charge or $0.02 per share) in fiscal 2005; and
o     fiscal 2005 charge of $3.0 million ($3.0 million after tax or $0.04 per
      share) for acquired in process research and development (for which there
      was no comparable item in the current year).

"Aeroflex continued to report outstanding results," said Len Borow, President
and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Borow continued "We finished with a strong
fourth quarter performance, and realized record sales and earnings for the year.
The $0.16 pro forma EPS represented a 45% increase over last year. The charge on
the development contract in our Radar division adversely effected the earnings
per share by $0.03 per share. Organic sales growth was 16% and 10% for the
quarter and year, respectively. Financial performance was solid in both segments
of our business as our bookings and year end backlog, which stands at $240.3
million, also set records."

Our estimate of operating results for the September 2006 quarter is as follows:

o     net sales are expected to be approximately $136 million; and

o     pro forma earnings per diluted share are anticipated to be $.12. Pro forma
      earnings exclude estimated amortization of acquired intangibles, share
      based compensation and additional restructuring charges of a combined $.04
      per diluted share. GAAP earnings from continuing operations per diluted
      share are anticipated to be $.08.

Commenting on the pro forma earnings per share expectation, Mr. Borow stated
"This represents a 9.1% improvement over last year's first quarter, which is
traditionally the Company's weakest quarter of the fiscal year. The comparison
is negatively affected by a "tough comp" due to a highly profitable satellite
shipment in last year's first quarter."
