First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

�

�

�

Revenues: First quarter 2015 revenues grew by $562,000 or 15% to $4.4 million, compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, driven by continued revenue growth in international markets.

�

�

�

Balance Sheet: Cash totaled $20.1 million at December 31, 2014, a decline of $3.8 million from the $23.9 million reported at September 30, 2014, in part due to the investment of $3.1 million in short and long-term marketable securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Working Capital decreased to $25.8 million from $27.7 million over the same period as nearly $2.5 million of marketable securities purchased during the quarter were classified as long-term.

�

Asian Navy, international public safety, and several follow-on mass notification orders drove 15% revenue growth during what is traditionally our slowest seasonal quarter, commented Tom Brown, President and CEO of LRAD Corporation.

�

�

�

�

�

�

Fiscal 2015 is off to a good start as we continue to make progress in each of our mass notification, public safety, defense, homeland security and wildlife business areas, Brown continued. Were also pursuing large opportunities in the mass notification market and with the United States militaries. While these opportunities are taking time to develop, we believe we are well positioned with the right product offerings and anticipate further progress throughout this year.
