MICRONETICS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006
HUDSON, NH (BUSINESS WIRE) August 15, 2005 - Micronetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:NOIZ-News), today announced its financial results for the first quarter (Q1) of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 (FY2006). Net sales for Q1 FY2006 increased approximately 17% to $3.9 million, compared to $3.4 million for Q1 FY2005. This increase resulted from both organic sales growth of Micronetics' commercial satellite and defense related business, as well as the recent acquisition of Stealth Microwave, Inc. ("Stealth"). Micronetics completed the Stealth acquisition on June 10, 2005, and the consolidated results announced today reflect financial activity since that date. Excluding Stealth, net sales increased by 5.6% to $3.6 million during Q1 FY2006.

Net income for Q1 FY2006 was $320,000, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, compared to $350,000, or $0.08 per fully diluted share for Q1 FY2005.

Bookings during Q1 FY2006 increased 118% to $5.9 million, from $2.7 million in Q1 FY2005. At the end of Q1 FY2006, Micronetics had a strong sales pipeline, with over a $14 million backlog, which included a $4 million backlog from Stealth.

Micronetics' cash balance was $3.0 million at the end of Q1 FY2006, compared to $2.9M at the end of Q1 FY2005. To finance the Stealth acquisition, Micronetics increased its borrowings by $6 million. Consolidated accounts receivable increased to $3.9 million during Q1 FY2006, as compared to $2.5 million in the prior year. Inventory also increased to $5.9 million for Q1 FY2006 compared to $4.5 million for Q1 FY2005.

David Robbins, President & CEO, stated, "Net margins were affected by relatively lower gross margins on our airborne Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) during the quarter. We anticipate increased margins on our airborne DBS program going forward, which will improve our net margins. In addition, we see significant growth opportunities from our positions on WiMAX, Digital Broadcast, Airborne DBS, and UMTS TDD. Our strong backlog and competitive position on several long running airborne defense programs, further drives our optimism for growth in FY2006 and beyond."
