Hudson, NH -- (BUSINESS WIRE) - August 7, 2009 -- Micronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOIZ) today reported results for its first quarter ended June 27, 2009 (Q1 FY 2010).

Net sales for Q1 FY 2010 were $7.9 million, an increase of 12% or $.8 million compared to $7.1 million for Q1 FY 2009.

The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of integrated sub-assemblies for defense applications. For Q1 FY 2010 the Company reported a net loss of $12,065 or $0.00 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $157,606 or $0.03 per diluted share for Q1 FY 2009.

David Robbins, Micronetics' CEO stated, "As expected, our commercial components line continued to show a weakness in sales and gross margin over previous quarters. However, growth in our defense products during the quarter more than offset this trend. Gross margin was adversely affected by start-up costs associated with the March 2009 acquisition of our RFID product line. We expect to generate sales in the second quarter for the RFID product line as a result of our recently announced contract with a major retailer."

Mr. Robbins continued, "We are pleased with our success in integrated sub-assembly products and are making steady and measurable progress broadening our power amplifier product offering with more diversified applications; this is evidenced by having shipped power amplifiers for an advanced ground based jamming system, and continued engagement with some key customers for homeland security public safety applications utilizing our newly developed high efficiency digital pre-distortion power amplifier."

Backlog increased by $1 million to a record $27 million on approximately $9 million in bookings for the quarter.
