RF Industries' Board of Directors Allocates $1,250,000
for Repurchase of the Company's Outstanding Common Stock
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, October 18, 2011 . . . RF INDUSTRIES, LTD., (NASDAQ:RFIL) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the allocation of up to $1,250,000 for the repurchase of the Company's common shares outstanding, in open market, negotiated or block transactions. Purchases under this program will be in amounts and at times and prices to be determined by management.
"Considering RFI's record sales and growth opportunities, the Board believes that current market conditions afford the Company the opportunity to buy back its common shares at attractive prices. RFI's continuing strong cash position enables us to implement this repurchase program without adversely affecting the Company's capital requirements, dividends and requirements for operating liquidity," said Howard Hill, RFI's CEO.
As of July 31, 2011, RFI reported cash and cash equivalents of $1,169,000 and investments in short and long-term certificates of deposits of $6,271,000 for a total of $7,440,000 in liquid, short-term and long-term capital resources, working capital of $12,293,000, a current ratio of 4 to 1, stockholders' equity of $19,187,000, or $2.72 per share and 7,049,110 outstanding common shares.
At October 14, 2011, the balance of RFI's estimated cash, cash equivalents and investments was approximately $5.8 million. RFI's regular quarterly cash dividend, which was increased to $0.05 per common share, was paid on October 17, 2011 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2011.
