Hudson, NH -- October 23, 2001 -- Micronetics Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq/NOIZ) announced financial results for its second quarter and first half of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 (FY2002).

Net sales for the first half of FY2002 increased to $3,701,599 from $3,494,854 in the first half of FY2001, an increase of $206,745 or 5.9%. Net income for the first half of FY2002 was $330,776, or $.08 per share, as compared with $386,531, or $.09 per share, in the same period a year ago. This is a decrease of $55,755, or approximately 14%.

Net sales for Q2 of FY2002 were $1,917,574 as compared to $1,996,032 for Q2 FY2001, a decrease of $78,458 or 3.9%. This is an increase of $133,549, or 7.5% over Q1 FY2002 revenues. Net income for Q2 FY2002 was 193,112, or $.05 per share, as compared with $256,470, or $.06 per share, in the same quarter a year ago, a decrease of $63,358 or 24.7%. This is an increase of $55,447, or 40.3%, from Q1 FY2002.

Richard Kalin, President & CEO, stated "During the first half of FY2002 our Components and Subassemblies Group experienced significant revenue increases relating to its defense-related activities, which increases were largely offset by reductions in sales in our Test Solutions Group (due to a temporary reduction in sales to a significant commercial customer). Our margins overall increased. During the first half of FY2002, we increased our new product development activities. We remain optimistic that sales will increase during the second half, as overall bookings activity increased significantly in Q2 over the previous quarter, especially in our Components and Subassemblies Group."
