Frequency Electronics Forms New Subsidiary, FEI Government Systems, Inc.

This wholly owned subsidiary will focus on supplying the Company's technology and legacy proprietary products to the United States military and other U.S. government agencies. This organizational step was taken in response to the increasing demand for FEI's products by the U.S. government. The Company's other subsidiaries, FEI Communications, FEI-Asia and Gillam-FEI, will maintain the momentum in the Company's commercial wireless, wireline and space-based applications.

Mr. Markus Hechler, Executive Vice President of the Company, has been appointed President of the new subsidiary. Mr. Hechler noted that "the formation of FEI-GSI will permit us to provide the U.S. government with superior support for the critical and sensitive programs in which we expect to participate without affecting the growth of the Company's core commercial business."

The board of directors of FEI Government Systems, Inc. will be composed of Markus Hechler, General Joseph P. Franklin and Admiral S. Robert Foley.
