LRAD CORPORATION REPORTS PROFITABLE

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FY 2012

Company Anticipates Improved FY 2013

SAN DIEGO, CA, December 4, 2012 – LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world’s leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), today reported revenues of $14.8 million and net income of $0.04 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Selected accomplishments in fiscal 2012:

• Achieved third consecutive year of profitability; the first three years of profitability in the Company’s history

• Achieved net income of approximately 10% of revenue and increased working capital by 12%

• Grew U.S. revenues 19% over fiscal 2011 in spite of ongoing defense budget uncertainty

• Recorded initial revenues of the LRAD 2000X™, the loudest, most powerful AHD available, to meet the requirements of larger security applications

• Developed and recorded initial revenues of the omnidirectional LRAD 360X™ targeted for the mass notification and emergency communications market

• Managed the balance sheet and controlled expenses while moving into new corporate offices with increased and improved manufacturing space, and continuing to invest in new product development and AHD market expansion

“Direct and indirect revenues from the U.S. military, which declined by 40% in fiscal 2011, showed some improvement in fiscal 2012, though they still remained $2 million below the fiscal 2010 level due to ongoing federal budget uncertainty and the November 2012 election cycle,” said Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. “Revenues related to law enforcement increased during the past fiscal year. To date, over 100 municipalities, counties and states have equipped their law enforcement agencies and emergency responders with LRAD systems.”

Revenues for fiscal year 2012 decreased 44% to $14.8 million, compared to $26.5 million for fiscal year 2011. Revenues in fiscal 2011 included a $12.1 million foreign government order, which was not repeated in fiscal 2012.

Gross profit for fiscal 2012 was $7.5 million or 51% of total revenues, compared to $15.9 million, or 60% of total revenues for fiscal 2011. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to decreased revenues, lower fixed cost absorption, and increased amortization of prepaid expenses to support warranty and maintenance required under the large foreign government sale in fiscal 2011. These decreases were partially offset by lower manufacturing overhead spending and lower warranty expense.

Operating expenses for fiscal 2012 decreased 43% to $6.2 million, compared to $10.9 million in fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily attributed to decreases of $3.1 million for sales commissions, primarily related to the large foreign government sale in fiscal 2011 and $1.9 million for bonus expense based on not meeting annual performance targets in fiscal 2012, partially offset by an increase of $266,000 for non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Net income for fiscal 2012 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011. The decreases in net income and per share income were primarily due to decreased revenue and gross margin, partially offset by decreased operating expenses.

Brown concluded, “While we continue to battle economic and defense budget headwinds, based on expanding AHD markets and a growing pipeline of domestic and international business opportunities, we anticipate our fiscal year 2013 financial results will improve over fiscal 2012.”
