ARC WIRELESS SOLUTIONS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Wheat Ridge, Colorado November 14, 2008 - ARC Wireless Solutions, Inc.
("ARC") (NASDAQ:ARCW) today announced operating results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008. Revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2008 were $2,284,000 compared to $1,986,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were
$5,905,000 compared to $5,656,000 for the same period last year. The increases
in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are attributable to the
increase in sales by our Wireless Communications Solutions Division.
The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $11,000,
or $.003 per share, compared to the net loss of $(173,000), or $(.06) per share,
for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net income for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007
was due to a 15% increase in revenue, an increase in gross profit and a decrease
in SG&A of $155,000 partially offset by a decrease of $141,000 in interest
income. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $(292,000)
or $(.10) per share, compared to a net loss of $(365,000), or $(.12) per share,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the net loss for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period last year
is primarily due to an increase in revenues, and an increase in gross margin
partially offset by a reduction in interest income of $283,000.
Gross profit was 35% and 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2008
and September 30, 2007, respectively, and 37% and 32% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in gross
profit percentage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is
primarily the result of lower operating costs due to our efforts in successfully
transitioning most of our production to China through our Hong Kong subsidiary,
ARC Wireless Hong Kong Ltd., as well as reducing overhead from our U.S.
operations.
