RF Industries' Second Quarter Sales Increase 5% To Record
$3,769,000; Net Income Jumps 142% to $0.11 Per Share

SAN DIEGO, CA -- June 14, 2006 -- RF INDUSTRIES, LTD., (NASDAQ:RFIL) today announced record sales and net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006.
For the three months ended April 30, 2006, sales increased 5% to a quarterly record $3,769,000 and net income increased 142% to a quarterly record $395,000, or $0.11 per diluted share. Sales for last year's second quarter, which benefited from a large shipment at the close of the quarter, were a record $3,578,000, with net income of $163,000, or $0.04 per diluted share.
For the six months ended April 30, 2006, net sales increased 11% to $7,144,000, and net income increased 78% to $660,000, or $0.18 per diluted share. This compares to sales for the same period last year of $6,446,000, and net income of $370,000, or $0.10 per diluted share.
"Continuing strong sales from RF Connector and cable assembly, which posted quarterly sales in excess of $3,000,000, together with initial Neulink shipments on the SRI contract and a 37% gain in sales at Bioconnect all led to RFI's record second quarter sales. These record sales, in combination with RFI's improved profitability, resulted in record quarterly earnings," said Howard Hill, president and CEO of RF Industries.
Higher average selling prices during half of the second quarter helped raise gross margin to 48% of sales, compared to 44%, of sales in the same quarter last year. Tighter cost controls and expense reductions established in February 2006 reduced total selling and general expenses for the quarter and also reduced these expenses, as a percent of sales, to 27% from 33% of sales in the same quarter last year.
At April 30, 2006, RFI reported cash and cash equivalents of $3,580,000, investments in available-for-sale securities of $2,644,000, working capital of $11,530,000, a 13 to 1 current ratio, no long-term debt and stockholders' equity of $12,230,000 or $3.81 per share.
