TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP Date: November 15, 2006 By /s/ Harold K. Fletcher ----------------------------------------- /s/ Harold K. Fletcher Chairman and President 2 EX-99.1 2 a5275623ex99_1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp Announces Results for the Second Quarter CARLSTADT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2006--Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp ("TEL" or the "Company") today announced its consolidated financial results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2006. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2006 2005 2006 2005 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Sales $2,127,349 3,094,442 $3,892,400 6,245,420 Net Income (Loss) Before Taxes (135,185) 64,884 (589,731) 122,,875 Provision (Benefit) For Taxes (55,207) 28,768 (235,599) 57,611 Net Income (Loss) $ (82,978) 36,116 $ (354,132) 65,264 Net Income (Loss) Per Share, Diluted ($0.04) $ 0.02 ($ 0.15) $ 0.03 Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, Diluted 2,298,631 2,302,015 2,290,381 2,301,083 As previously reported, the Company is in a transition phase between the conclusion of deliveries under its previous U.S. Navy AN/APM-480 multi-year contract and commencement of deliveries under its new, multi-year U.S. Navy contract to deliver AN/USM-708 CRAFT units. As a result of this interval of reduced deliveries and sales, as well as from continuing weakness in the commercial aviation industry and lower sales in the marine systems division, the revenues were down significantly in the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2006. Although research and development expenditures must remain high, in order to support the large CRAFT and ITATS contract awards, the Company adopted a Profit Improvement Plan in March of this year, which resulted in substantial operating expense reductions for the six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the previous fiscal year. Gross margin as a percent of sales also has not improved because of the lower volume of sales and competitive pressures. As a consequence of the temporary but significant decline in revenues and gross margin exceeding the reduction in operating costs, operating profits and cash have declined. However, the Company has working capital in excess of $4 million, cash in excess of $1 million, and an unused credit line of $1.75 million, and believes that it has adequate liquidity, resources, and backlog to fund operating plans during the interval, and until deliveries of the AN/USM-708 CRAFT and ITATS commence in calendar 2008. The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on December 6, 2006 at the Company's facilities at, 728 Garden Street, Carlstadt, NJ, at 4:00 p.m. This press release includes statements that are not historical in nature and may be characterized as "forward-looking statements," including those related to future financial and operating results, benefits, and synergies of the combined companies, statements concerning the Company's outlook, pricing trends, and forces within the industry, the completion dates of capital projects, expected sales growth, cost reduction strategies, and their results, long-term goals of the Company and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.
