TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH CORPORATION

REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, February 9, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) – Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”), (Nasdaq-TRCI), today announced revenue and earnings for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Revenue was $6.9 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million from revenue of $7.6 million for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009. The net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $0.3 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share compared with net income of $0.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the same period one year earlier. Operating cash flow, which we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, was $ 0.0 million for the current quarter, as compared to $ 0.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of last year.

Orders for the quarter just ended were $9.1 million, an increase of $3.3 million from the same fiscal quarter last year. Military orders were $6.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million from the third quarter of the previous year and commercial orders were $3.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from the third quarter of the prior year.

Owen Farren, President and CEO, said “As we indicated last quarter, our third quarter results continued to be affected by delays in certain orders and programs in our military business. While results are below expectations, our bookings going into the last quarter of the fiscal year have picked up in both TRC’s traditional military business and the newly acquired Patco intelligent battery systems business. As a result, we are confident of stronger results for the quarter currently underway.

Looking ahead, we expect to continue repositioning the Company by moving into higher margin products. TRC has made substantial investments in new product development, and over the next six months we expect several of these initiatives to begin making contributions to both revenue and profitability. We are confident in the organization’s ability to complete these planned objectives, and believe that our new direction will lead to greater shareholder value in the future.”

Cash and cash equivalents were $8.7 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $0.5 million from March 31, 2010 even after funding the $1.1 million Shoreline Reels acquisition. We continue to have no borrowings outstanding under our line of credit.

The third quarter dividend of $0.02 per share was paid on January 14, 2011 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2010.
