NEWARK, Calif., – October 25, 2011 - Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), an innovative provider of mobile productivity products, today reported financial results for the 2011 third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $4.7 million, an increase of 37 percent compared to revenue of $3.4 million for the same quarter a year ago and an increase of 8 percent over revenue of $4.4 million in the immediately preceding quarter. Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was $727,000, or a loss of $0.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $768,000, or $0.20 per share, in the third quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $392,000, or a loss of $0.09 per share, in the immediately preceding quarter. The net loss in the third quarter of 2011 included $564,000, or $0.13 per share, of debt discount amortization associated with senior convertible notes. The notes were fully converted into common stock as of the end of third quarter. The portion of the net loss attributable to stock option expensing in the third quarter of 2011 was $189,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to $189,000, or $0.05 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2011 was a profit of $142,000, or $0.03 per share compared to an EBITDA net loss of $401,000, or a loss of $0.11 per share, in the third quarter of 2010 and an EBITDA profit of $73,000, or $0.02 per share, in the immediately preceding quarter.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $2.1 million, flat compared to operating expenses of $2.1 million for the same quarter a year ago, and higher by 5 percent compared to operating expenses of $2.0 million in the immediately preceding quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 million at June 30, 2011 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2010.

Kevin Mills, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We achieved continued sequential growth in both revenue and EBITDA in the third quarter, with increase in total revenue driven by record quarterly sales of our SoMo handheld computers as well as continued sequential growth in sales of our family of barcode scanners. We significantly improved delivery performance of our handheld computers. We shipped over 5,000 units in the quarter. Third quarter revenue did not include over $800,000 of products shipped too late in the quarter to distribution for revenue recognition. We recognize revenue when products clear distributor inventory. Overall demand for our handheld computers continues to grow. We are benefitting from Hewlett-Packard’s discontinuation worldwide of its model 200 series iPAQs. Socket’s handheld computers are compatible with the discontinued HP units and are an excellent replacement alternative. Demand for our barcode scanners is also increasing worldwide, helped by the recent introduction of our Apple certified barcode scanners for use with Apple smartphones and tablets.

“During the quarter, we also further strengthened the company financially. The balance of our convertible notes issued in November 2010 were converted by the holder into common stock during the third quarter, and earlier this month we were pleased to announce the activation of a $2.5 million bank revolving line of credit that we intend to use to finance anticipated growth. We are focused on continued positive momentum,” Mills concluded.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue was $13.1 million, an increase of 20 percent compared to revenue of $10.9 million in the year ago period. Net loss was $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.49 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million, or a loss of $0.63 per share for the same period one year ago. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes $1.0 million or $0.25 per share, of debt discount amortization expense associated with senior convertible notes that were converted into common stock as of the end of the third quarter. The portion of the net loss attributable to stock option expensing for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $549,000, or $0.13 per share, compared to $509,000, or $0.13 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
