MCT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

St. Paul, Minnesota. (May 2, 2007) — Micro Component Technology, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MCTI) today reported results for its first quarter of 2007. Net sales for the first quarter of 2007 were $3.3 million, an increase of 41% from net sales of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2006 and up 17% from the fourth quarter of 2006. Net loss was $.2 million, or $0.00 per share in the first quarter of 2007, compared to net loss of $1.1 million or $0.04 per share in the comparable prior year period.

MCT’s President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Roger E. Gower, commented: “This quarter’s solid performance, with revenue increases of 41% over the first quarter of 2006 and 17% over the fourth quarter of 2006, reflected the solid bookings received during this period. Our financial performance in the quarter included both positive cash flow and EBITDA in excess of $280K, and it appears that our increasing bookings activity has continued into the second quarter. Improvements in cash flows, gross margins and bookings are all linked to the increasing market acceptance of our latest Tri-Temperature Strip Test Handler offering. Simply stated, Strip Test and MCT continue to grow despite various statements regarding weak and uncertain test handler market trends,” concluded Gower.
