INTRUSION INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Richardson, Texas — May 14, 2012 — Intrusion Inc. (OTCBB: INTZ), (“Intrusion”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Intrusion’s net loss was $0.35 million in the first quarter 2012, compared to a net loss of $0.40 million for the first quarter 2011.

Revenue for the first quarter 2012 was $1.40 million, compared to $1.04 million for the first quarter 2011.

Gross profit margin was 56% of revenue in the first quarter 2012; compared to 62% in the first quarter 2011.  The decrease was mainly due to a change in product mix and slightly higher labor cost associated with TraceCop sales.

Intrusion’s first quarter 2012 operating expenses were $1.11 million; compared to $1.04 million in the first quarter 2011.

As of March 31, 2012, Intrusion reported cash and cash equivalents of $0.27 million, a working capital deficiency of $1.99 million and debt of $1.53 million.

“At our current staffing and expense levels, it takes approximately $1.70 million of quarterly revenue to break even.  During the first quarter, we booked a total of $1.50 million of new orders and have booked $0.60 million of new orders so far in the second quarter.  These new orders are expected to produce revenue during the year 2012,” stated G. Ward Paxton, President and CEO of Intrusion.
