PHOTONIC PRODUCTS GROUP, INC.
RELEASES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2011

NORTHVALE, NJ, May 16 – Photonic Products Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PHPG) has reported its consolidated financial results for its first quarter, which ended March 31, 2011.

Revenues for the first quarter were $3.24 million, up 15.3% from $2.81 million in the same period last year.

Orders for the first three months were $2.7 million, unchanged from last year.  Order backlog was $4.8 million at March 31, 2011, an increase of 14.3% compared to $4.2 million as of March 31, 2010.

Gross profit for the quarter of 27% or $872,000 improved from $540,000, or 19% in the comparable quarter last year mainly reflecting the higher sales volumes this year and the Company’s relatively fixed cost structure.  Cost of sales increased by $101,000 or approximately 5% on a sales increase of $430,000 in the quarter.
 
The Company had net income of $35,000, or earnings per share of $0.00 basic and diluted for the quarter compared to a net loss of $274,000, or a loss per share of $0.02, basic and diluted, in the same period last year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $283,000 for the first quarter of 2011, reflecting the Company’s payment of $338,000 against accrued and current interest this quarter, compared to net cash provided by operations of $480,000 in the first quarter last year.  After investing and financing activities, net cash decreased by $302,000 and the Company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million. 

Joe Rutherford, President and CEO of Photonic Products Group, Inc. commented, “After very positive results in the fourth quarter of 2010, I am pleased to see the trend continue in the first quarter of 2011.  Comparatively, we showed a much improved financial result from the first quarter of 2010.  We have targeted debt reduction and balance sheet improvement as priorities for 2011.  Accordingly, we negotiated an extension of our $2.5 million loan to April, 2013 and paid $338,000 of accrued interest related to this outstanding debt during the quarter.

For the balance of 2011, we will continue to focus our efforts on improving operations, reducing costs and expanding efforts to develop new markets and customers, both domestically and internationally.  Our first quarter results give me added confidence that we will benefit from the improving economy as well as the addition of new products and an expanded customer base.”
