RF Industries' Third Quarter Sales Increase 17%;
Net Income is $0.01 Per Diluted Share

Nine Month Sales Advance 19%; Net Income is $0.12 Per Diluted Share


SAN DIEGO, CA -- September 14, 2011 -- RF INDUSTRIES, LTD., (NASDAQ:RFIL) today announced results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2011.

Third Quarter Highlights
Net sales increased 17% to a third quarter record $4,948,000 compared to record third quarter sales of $4,230,000 in the same quarter last year.  Net income was affected by non-recurring expenses of approximately $503,000 for legal, accounting, investment banking and administrative expenses associated with the June 15, 2011 acquisition of Cables Unlimited Inc. and approximately $59,000 in additional consulting, legal, corporate and administrative expenses incurred in addressing certain stockholder issues and activities.  After these expenses, net income for the third quarter was $63,000 or $0.01 per diluted share compared $312,000, or $0.05 per diluted share in the same period last year.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, net income was affected by non-cash expenses for the write-off of Neulink inventory and goodwill impairment related to the Aviel acquisition of $248,000 and $137,000, respectively.
"Cables Unlimited contributed $909,000 to net sales for 45 days of the quarter.  Excluding Cables Unlimited's sales, overall sales for RFI's continuing businesses were down 4.5% for the quarter, affected primarily by inventory adjustments and shipping delays from some of our major distributors.  We believe these are adjustments and delays, not lost sales.  Sales rates improved for August," said Howard Hill, CEO of RF Industries.
RF Connector & Cable segment sales declined 7.7% in the quarter to $3,274,000 from $3,546,000 in the same period last year.  Gross margins for this segment were 54% compared to 56% of sales in the same quarter last year, due to the sales decline.  The operating loss was $99,000 for the quarter, compared to an operating profit of $683,000 in the same quarter last year.  Profitability for this segment was affected by $503,000 in non-recurring expenses related to the Cables Unlimited, Inc. acquisition as well as approximately $59,000 of other corporate expenses.
Cables Unlimited sales of $909,000 for the quarter resulted in operating profits of $88,000 for the quarter.  Cables Unlimited's gross margin was 37% of sales, due to the peak Summer sales period, compared to its annual average gross margin of approximately 27%.
Bioconnect Medical Cabling Division sales declined 9.5% to $510,000 from $563,000 in the same period last year.  Gross margin was 41%, compared to 42% of sales in the same period last year.  Operating income was $121,000, compared to $153,000 in the third quarter last year.  The sales decline is associated with seasonal inventory adjustments by Bioconnect's major customers.
RF Wireless sales more than doubled to $255,000 from $120,000 in the same period last year due to higher sales and profitable operations at RF Neulink.  Operating losses declined to $118,000 from $392,000 in the third quarter last year.  Operating results for this segment in the same quarter last year included inventory write-offs of approximately $248,000.
