API ELECTRONICS SHIPS LARGEST MILITARY ORDER EVER
NEW YORK, December 4, 2001 - API Electronics Group Inc. (OTCBB:APIEF) has
shipped its largest order ever to the U.S. Military Electronics Supply Center.
The government ordered more than 100 hybrid micro-electronic circuits for an
unidentified military application. API President and COO Tom Mills says orders
for critical replacement parts, including semiconductors, transistors, diodes,
capacitors and circuits, are "getting bigger and more frequent", and he expects
a significant increase in demand as government policies evolve and military
activity increases both at home and abroad. API is the sole manufacturer of many
electronic components vital to the reliable performance of high-value military
assets, such as fighter jets, heavy bombers and battle tanks.
"We believe the size of this order reinforces the fact that the U.S. military
has faith in our company and our products," says Mills. "Due to the unique
costing structure in our industry, we cannot publicly disclose the financial
terms of this specific order, although I can say that it is substantially larger
than any previous single military delivery in our 20 year operating history.
And, given that profit margins in our sector are very favorable, an order of
this magnitude represents a significant achievement for API and adds
considerable value for our shareholders."
Since original electronics manufacturers abandoned the military to focus on the
broader consumer market at the end of the Cold War, API has carved out a
lucrative niche market for itself. The company's reputation for high quality
work and rigorous testing has led to orders from major defense contractors such
as Honeywell/Allied Signal, Lockheed Martin and Litton Systems.
API is also seeing a significant increase in orders from aircraft manufacturers.
"We expect a significant trickle down effect from the recently announced
$200-million Lockheed Martin contract," says Mills. "Our suppressors, for
example, are in great demand because they are the only ones that are flexible
enough to fit into the relays used in fighter aircraft."
Mills says API has already seen a 50% increase in demand for suppressors used in
the aerospace industry and he expects similar increases over the next decade.
