RF Industries Reports First Quarter Results

Initiates $0.02 Per Common Share Quarterly Dividend

SAN DIEGO, CA, March 23, 2007 . . . RF INDUSTRIES, LTD. (NASDAQ:RFIL) today announced that sales for the first quarter ended January 31, 2007 were $3,152,000 compared to $3,375,000, in the same quarter last year. Net income, after the effect of SFAS 123 (R) "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", was $33,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $265,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. Non-cash, after tax expenses related to accounting for stock-based compensation during the first quarter were $117,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Quarterly Cash Dividend

RFI's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend, which has initially been set at $0.02 per common share, payable on April 16, 2007 to shareholders of record on March 30, 2007.

"We are confident that RFI's resources, future growth and prospects for the coming year will support the initiation of this modest quarterly dividend. RFI's Board will periodically review the dividend in light of the Company's performance and cash requirements," said Howard Hill, RFI's president and CEO.

First Quarter Review

"Results for the first quarter, typically our seasonally weakest period, were affected by lower sales and margins at RF Connector and Cable products, reflecting product mix and inventory adjustments at some of our major distributors," said Howard Hill, RFI's president and CEO.

"We have recently increased prices on selective connector and cable products and believe that the majority of our customers have completed their inventory adjustments. Bioconnect is continuing its strong double digit sales growth and we are encouraged by Neulink's opportunities for improved sales in the current fiscal year," said Hill.

Hill noted that non-cash, after-tax option related expenses are projected at approximately $328,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the current fiscal year ending October 31, 2007.

At January 31, 2007, RFI reported cash and cash equivalents of $5,485,000, investments in available-for-sale securities of $1,041,000, working capital of $13,093,000, a 18 to 1 current ratio, no long-term debt and stockholders' equity of $13,699,000, or $4.19 per share.
