Technical Communications Corporation Reports Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ended December 29, 2007

CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technical Communications Corporation (OTC BB: TCCO.OB) today announced its results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2007. For the first quarter of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, the Company reported net income of $752,000 or $0.54 per share, on revenue of $2,289,000, as compared to a net loss of $(117,000), or $(0.09) per share, on revenue of $762,000 for the quarter ended December 30, 2006. Included in net income for the quarters ended December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 is $(14,000), or $0.01 per share and $(26,000), or $(0.02) per share, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense.

Commenting on corporate performance, Mr. Carl H. Guild, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCC said, “I am very pleased with the continued, strong performance of TCC during the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Revenues were driven to an exceptionally high level by a robust demand for our DSP9000 radio encryption products and a requirement for an expedited deployment to Afghanistan. Our encryptors are used in conjunction with a wide variety of radios to provide broad-area interoperable secure communications. As we have reported before, the DSP9000 system is unique in that it creates an end-to-end secure voice network between vehicle, man-pack, aircraft, ship and commanders’ offices using a wide variety of radios. We believe the DSP9000 Radio Encryptor System is ideally suited for the military communication requirements in Southwest Asia, South America and Africa. During the first quarter, additional orders were received for DSP9000 products for both Asia and Africa, contributing to the total backlog at the end of the quarter of more than $3,200,000. The current DSP9000 orders are expected to be delivered during the next nine months at quarterly levels lower than those delivered in the first fiscal quarter.”

Mr. Guild continued, “Our Network Systems product line shipped thirty eight IP (internet protocol), Frame Relay and Link encryption systems to a middle-eastern customer for deployment in their naval and ground communications systems. This equipment is part of an ongoing expansion of existing satellite-routed systems secured by TCC encryption equipment. We continue to aggressively pursue both government and private network communications opportunities which require the high-grade encryption security that TCC provides.”
