CASH USED FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

“Total cash and investments at the end of the second quarter was $176.7 million. We used $4.2 million in cash to repurchase 311,786 shares during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, bringing our total number of shares repurchased to 1.5 million using $20.6 million under our existing share repurchase authorization. With our strong balance sheet, we are committed to returning value to our shareholders through a combination of cash dividends, continued share repurchases and investments in our growth initiatives. Our Board will continue to evaluate the alternatives and appropriate timing in light of the current economic environment,” said Mr. Richardson.

As of today, approximately $29.4 million remains under the existing share repurchase authorization. Share repurchases may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and trading restrictions. This authorization has no expiration and may be cancelled at any time.

OUTLOOK

“We are pleased with our progress during the first half of this fiscal year. While the economy remains challenging, we have re-directed our EDG sales team to focus on applications within the global manufacturing sector that are experiencing stronger growth. The recent acquisition of Powerlink is also opening the door to new customers as we now can provide technical assistance for both microwave and power grid tubes. Secondly, Canvys has continued to focus on OEMs and is capitalizing on our existing customer relationships to generate new, long-term opportunities. Finally, we have successfully reduced our cost structure from continuing operations by almost a million dollars for the first six months of this fiscal year,” said Mr. Richardson.

“We expect that sales for EDG and Canvys for the third quarter will be in the range of $40 million to $42 million. Sales for Fiscal 2012 should be in the range of $165 to $170 million, up 4% to 7% over Fiscal 2011. We remain confident that we will be able to achieve our 5% operating margin target by the end of the year,” concluded Mr. Richardson.

CASH DIVIDEND

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors voted to declare a $0.05 dividend per share to all holders of common stock and a $0.045 cash dividend per share to all holders of Class B common stock. The dividend will be payable on February 28, 2012, to all common stockholders of record on February 14, 2012. The Company currently has 14.0 million outstanding shares of common stock and 2.9 outstanding shares of Class B common stock.
