Fiscal Second Quarter 2016 Financial Summary

● Revenues: Fiscal second quarter 2016 revenues totaled $3.6 million, compared to $4.5 million reported in the fiscal second quarter of 2015.

o The Company also made an initial delivery to the United States Navy (“Navy”) under a new $7.4 million contract award announced on March 31, 2016.

● Net Income/Loss:The Company reported a net loss of $665,000, or $0.02 per share, during the fiscal second quarter of 2016, compared with net income of $291,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, during the fiscal second quarter of 2015.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2016 FinancialSummary

● Revenues: Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $6.4 million, compared to $8.9 million reported during the same period in fiscal 2015. The decline was primarily due to delays in contract awards and the timing of customer orders.

● Net Income/Loss:Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2016 declined by $1.8 million to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per share, from net income $796,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, reported during the same period in fiscal 2015.

● Balance Sheet: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.0 million at March 31, 2016, a decline from $18.3 million reported at September 30, 2015, primarily due to the use of $1.7 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $612,000 invested in short-term marketable securities, and $637,000 for the payment of cash dividends. Working capital totaled $22.5 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $25.6 million at September 30, 2015, primarily due to the reduction in cash and cash equivalents, increased accrued liabilities related to the CEO separation agreement and deferred revenues, partially offset by a transfer of marketable securities from long-term to short-term.

Select Operating and Business Highlights

● Received a multi-year $7.4 million contract award from the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana. The firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract adds remotely operated, fully integrated LRAD RXL systems to Situational Awareness Systems on Military Sealift Command ships as well as other Navy and Coast Guard vessels.

● Announced a $1.1 million follow-on public safety order from a Southeast Asian country upgrading its communication products with LRAD’s long range and highly intelligible voice capabilities.

● Repurchased 68,400 shares during the quarter under the new buyback program that runs through December 31, 2016.

Coburn (Ret.), Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. “With the proxy contest settled and new Board members in place, a search is underway for a new CEO that can utilize LRAD’s strong balance sheet and product foundation to further capitalize on various market opportunities. We are focused on growing the Company’s business and increasing stockholder value.”
