TASER International, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter Revenues

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 24, 2008 — TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR) a market leader in advanced electronic control devices today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2008.

For the first quarter of 2008 revenues were $22.5 million, the highest first quarter revenue in the Company’s history and a 47% increase over the same quarter of the prior year. Income from operations for the first quarter was $1.6 million, a 361% increase compared with $0.3 million in the prior year period. Net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 were $1.2 million and $0.02, respectively.

Significant events in the first quarter of 2008 include:

1.	Significant sales orders were received and shipped to law enforcement agencies in the United States during the first quarter. The orders were from both new agencies deploying TASER® technology and from agencies continuing to expand the use of TASER electronic control devices (ECDs) to their first responders. Several of the more significant orders announced during the quarter include Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IN), North Carolina Highway Patrol (NC), Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (NV), San Diego County Sherriff’s Department (CA), Sacramento County Sherriff’s Department (CA), Los Angeles Port Police Department (CA), Suffolk County Police Department (NY), North Dakota Highway Patrol (ND) and Doral Police Department (FL).
2.	Maintaining a Federal markets focus rewarded TASER International with an order for our flagship TASER® X26 ECDs from the U.S. Air Force, which plans to begin deploying the devices to its Security Forces personnel.
3.	International sales accounted for approximately $3.0 million or 13% of our total sales in the first quarter up 64% from the first quarter of 2007. This included a significant order from a new customer, the interior ministry of a foreign country, to equip its law enforcement officers with a total of 3,000 of our price leading ADVANCED TASER M26™ ECDs and related accessories.
4.	Six (6) more product liability suits were dismissed during the first quarter representing a total of sixty-seven (67) wrongful death or injury suits that have been dismissed or judgment entered in favor of the Company through the first quarter. TASER continued to see a reduction in the rate of new litigation as well as pending litigation in the first quarter of 2008.
5.	The Company debuted the TASER X12 LLS Mossberg® shotgun during the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The TASER X12 Less Lethal Shotgun (LLS) is a fully integrated less-lethal platform manufactured by Mossberg that has been optimized for the TASER eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP), while providing for integration of the TASER X26 electronic control device (ECD) for close-in engagements. The TASERTM X12 LLS includes TASERTM RadialTM Ammunition Key technology (patent pending) to prevent the system from accepting lethal 12-gauge rounds in order to remove the possibility of end users loading a lethal round in a less-lethal system during high stress situations.

“I am pleased to report that TASER International continues to expand on the momentum seen in 2007, evidenced by our strong sales in the first quarter of 2008,” commented Rick Smith, Chief Executive Officer of TASER International, Inc. “Historically, the first quarter is seasonably weak from a sales perspective; however, I am pleased to report that past investments in research and development continue to provide a solid foundation as we seek new opportunities to diversify our revenue base and become a solutions provider to our customers. The first quarter results reflect our increased investment in research and development programs for new products such as the TASER XREP and Shockwave^TM area denial system as well as others we expect to unveil throughout the year. All of these products will expand the avenues through which we deliver our life protecting technology.”
