  Cincinnati, OH, December 12, 1995 -- Cincinnati Microwave, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNMW) 
  today said that it now expects to report a loss for both its fourth quarter 
  and full year ending December 31, 1995.  Previously, the company had indicated 
  that it believed the fourth quarter would be profitable.
  
  "We remain on track to achieve our goal of doubling full year sales of our 
  cordless telephones with SureLink(TM)," said Jacques A. Robinson, president and
  chief executive officer.  "Despite the continued strength of that product 
  area, however, ongoing cost overruns in all product areas, combined with 
  softening of the radar detector market, will result in a loss for the quarter."
  
  In its year ended December 25, 1994, the company reported net sales of $64.7 
  million including cordless telephone sales of $14.1 million and radar/laser 
  detector sales of $46.6 million.  The net loss for 1994 was $10.3 million, 
  or a loss of 94 cents per share.
  
  Adds CFO to Management Team
  
  The company indicated that it has named Craig V. Wolf to the newly created 
  position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective 
  immediately, as part of a strengthening of its management team.  He 
  brings a strong background in cost and general management to the company. 
  
  Wolf, age 47, most recently served as general manager -- Armco Financial 
  Group and president -- Armco Financial Services Corporation, two units of
  the $1.5 billion in sales Pittsburgh-based Armco, Inc.  Prior to that he 
  was corporate director -- internal audit for Armco.  Between 1977 and 1989,
  Wolf served in a number of domestic and international financial capacities 
  for FMC Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, and between 1973 and 1977 as
  senior auditor for Arthur Andersen & Company, Chicago.
