NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Sensytech, Inc. Announces Q2 Results
NEWINGTON, VA, May 13, 2004 / Business Wire / — Sensytech, Inc. (NASDAQ: STST), today announced revenues and earnings for its second quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $1,166,000 or 9.1% to $14,019,000 compared to $12,853,000 for the prior year quarter. Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased $2,108,000 or 8.6% to $26,684,000, compared to $24,576,000 for the prior year period.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1,031,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, a decrease of 5.2% compared to $1,087,000 or $0.16 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. For the six months ended March 31, 2004 net income increased to $1,904,000, or $0.28 per diluted share, an increase of 0.7% compared to the prior year period of $1,891,000, or $.32 per diluted share.
S. Kent Rockwell, Chairman and CEO of Sensytech stated, “This quarter’s performance is very much in line with our expectations and concludes the anomalies of cost variance that we defined six months ago to occur as a result of the decision to move our production facilities from New Jersey to Pennsylvania. The resultant effects should be an increase in revenues and earnings as the new production facility and engineering facility now realizes improving efficiencies and utilization from an increasing level of new orders. The continuing quarters should reflect the beneficial impact of this strategic decision. Without this effort, we would not have been able to realize the growth goals for the company beyond 2005.
We are pleased to complete the addition of ISS in Winter Park, Florida, into our company. These imaging sensors will play an important part in the overall multi-sensor integration that is of growing interest to our customers.”
