| • | Total deployments of the Company’s InteLite® wireless controls increased to 681 customer locations, consisting of 86,329 dynamic control devices (or transceivers) and 592 control panels (compared to 78,564 transceivers and 580 control panels as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012). The deployments represent 38.8 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 (compared to 35.4 million square feet as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012). |

| • | Total Apollo® solar light pipes installed increased to 14,021 total units (compared to 12,602 total units as of the end of the first quarter 2012), representing 6.3 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 (compared to 5.7 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012). |
| • | In September 2011, Orion completed a $10.0 million Orion Throughput Agreement (OTA) credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase NA to further support its growing OTA volume. The new OTA facility provided $5.0 million of immediate available funding ($1.8 million of which was immediately utilized) and the potential for an additional $5.0 million of funding upon the achievement of certain financial conditions. The completed debt agreement represents the fourth individual tranche of funding secured for financing OTA contracts during the past 12 months. The Company now has multiple sources to finance its OTA contracts. |
Neal Verfuerth, Chief Executive Officer of Orion commented, “We are pleased to report a strong first half, with double-digit revenue growth versus our prior year first half, while improving operating margins as well. Our record backlog heading into the back half of fiscal 2012 along with current strong customer orders provides us good visibility while further validating our 2012 guidance.”

For fiscal 2012, the Company reaffirms its previously provided annual revenue and earnings per share guidance. The Company continues to expect revenue to be between $112 million and $118 million and its fiscal 2012 earnings per share to be between $0.18 and $0.22 per diluted share.
The Company currently expects the forecasted ranges for other key financial-statement line items and metrics for fiscal 2012 to be as follows:
| • | Gross margin – 33.2% to 35.2% |
| • | Operating margin – 7.0% to 8.0% |
| • | Effective tax rate – approximately 40.0% |

| • | Capital spending (excluding OTA contract financing) - $3.0 to $3.4 million |
| • | Depreciation and amortization - $3.6 to $4.0 million |
| • | Stock-based compensation expense - $1.7 to $2.1 million |
