SAN DIEGO, CA, April 5, 2012 - LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world's leading provider of long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs), announced today that it expects to report fiscal Q2 2012 revenues of approximately $2.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2012.

"We experienced a reduction in quarterly and fiscal first half revenues compared to the prior year due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. defense budget and a difficult global business environment," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. "While our selling cycles can be long and uneven, we are adding to a growing pipeline of potential domestic and international business, focusing in particular on significant AHD military opportunities."

Brown concluded, "We are starting to see a pickup in demand for LRAD systems and expect increasing fiscal second half revenues based on anticipated U.S. and foreign military orders and continued penetration of our AHD systems into worldwide Public Safety, Commercial Security and Wildlife & Asset Protection markets."
