 METALINK REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

YAKUM, ISRAEL, July 8, 2010 - Metalink Ltd. (NASDAQ: MTLK), today announced its
unaudited financial results for the first quarter of 2010 ended March 31, 2010.

SALE OF WLAN BUSINESS

As previously announced, Metalink completed the sale of its wireless local area
network (WLAN) business to Lantiq on February 15, 2010. Under the terms of the
agreement, Lantiq has agreed to pay Metalink a total of up to $16.5 million in
cash, $5.7 million of which were paid at the closing and additional payments, at
the total amount of approximately $1.5 million, were paid through March 31,
2010. As a result of the sale, Metalink recorded a capital gain of approximately
$6.9 million.

Following the sale, the results of operations of the WLAN business are reported
as discontinued operation and the results from continuing operation no longer
include revenues and expenses attributable to the WLAN business.

As a result of our holding of the proceeds of the sale of the WLAN business,
there is a high likelihood that Metalink will be classified as a passive foreign
investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes in 2010 and possibly
also in later years unless and until we invest a sufficient portion of those
proceeds in assets that do not produce passive income.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2010: Revenues for the first
quarter of 2010 were $0.05 million compared to $1.6 million for the first
quarter of 2009. Net income (loss) for the period was $6.2 million, or $2.31 per
share, including the capital gain of approximately $6.9 million from the sale of
the WLAN business. Net loss from continuing operation for the period was $(0.5)
million, or $(0.18) per share, compared to $(0.3) million, or $(0.13) per share,
for the first quarter of 2009. Net income (loss) for the period from
discontinued operation was $6.7 million, or $2.49 per share, compared to $(3.2)
million, or $(1.32) per share, for the first quarter of 2009.





CASH STATUS: Metalink's cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 were $4.1
million.

LOAN STATUS: As previously announced, on December 30, 2009, we entered into an
amendment to the Loan Agreement, whereby the repayment of the $4.3 million
originally due under the Loan Agreement was reduced to $4.1 million to be repaid
in four installments: $3,750,000 was repaid concurrently with the closing of the
sale of the WLAN business and the remainder is to be paid in three installments
between September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

 SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This press release contains "forward looking statements" within the meaning of
the United States securities laws. Words such as "aim," "expect," "estimate,"
"project," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could,"
"should," "believe," "predicts," "potential," "continue," and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Because
such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to: absence of significant operations
following the Lantiq Transaction; uncertainty as to our future business model
and our ability to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities; and
our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences if we will be
classified as a passive foreign investment company. Additional factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements are set forth from time to time in Metalink's filings with the SEC,
including Metalink's Annual Report in Form F-20. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as required by
applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to republish or revise
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events. The Company cannot
guarantee future results, events, and levels of activity, performance, or
achievements.
