PT Announces Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

"Earns $.07 per share for the quarter on a Non-GAAP Basis"

ROCHESTER, NY – November 10, 2011 -- PT (NASDAQ: PTIX), a leading global supplier of advanced network communications, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter 2011

Revenue in the third quarter 2011 amounted to $9.0 million, compared to $6.3 million in the third quarter 2010. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $27.1 million, compared to $21.1 million during the corresponding period in 2010.

On the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the net loss in the third quarter 2011 amounted to ($.1 million), or ($.01) per basic share, including a restructuring charge of $.01 per share, an impairment charge of $.04 per share, amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.03 per share and stock-based compensation expense of $.01 per share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding. The GAAP net loss in the third quarter 2010 amounted to ($2.9 million), or ($.26) per basic share, including litigation expenses of $.05 per share, a restructuring charge of $.01 per share and stock-based compensation expense of $.01 per share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding.

The GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to ($1.6 million), or ($.15) per basic share, including a restructuring charge of $.02 per share, an impairment charge of $.04 per share, amortization of purchased intangible assets of $.07 per share, litigation expenses of $.04 per share, and stock-based compensation of $.02 per share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding. The GAAP net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to ($6.8 million), or ($.61) per basic share, including litigation expenses of $.08 per share, a restructuring charge of $.02 per share, stock-based compensation of $.03 per share, and a discrete income tax provision of $.01 per share, based on 11.1 million shares outstanding.

On a non-GAAP basis, the Company had net income in the third quarter 2011 amounting to $.7 million, or $.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($2.2 million), or ($.20) per basic share in the third quarter 2010. The Company had net income on a non-GAAP basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounting to $.5 million, or $.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($5.4 million), or ($.48) per basic share in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Please refer to the reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures contained in this release.

On September 30, 2011, the Company's working capital position was $18.3 million including cash and investments amounting to $12.4 million, and the Company had no long-term debt.

“While PT fell just short of breakeven for the quarter, we are pleased to report that we were solidly profitable on a non-GAAP basis,” said John Slusser, president and chief executive officer.  Returning to profitability is a fundamental objective for our management team. Our multi-pronged product initiatives coupled with our new sales alliances have driven a meaningful increase in year-over-year revenue and gross profit. In addition, our expense reduction initiatives are paying off. We are grateful for the continued patience of our shareholders and for the ingenuity and hard work of our PT team.”

Recent Highlights

• In May 2011, PT announced a major international wireless carrier order amounting to nearly $3 million with Globacom, one of Africa's fastest growing mobile telecommunications companies. The Company recorded its first revenue from this order in the third quarter 2011 and expects the remainder of the order to be recognized in the fourth quarter 2011 and first quarter 2012. As part of this supply agreement, Globacom will be deploying PT's SEGway™ Signaling solutions in Nigeria and Ghana and will include both Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and Short Message Service Defense (SMS-D) functions.

• In June 2011, PT announced a revolutionary new open-standards solution set, now named Monterey 8000. At the just concluded 2011 ATCA Summit in San Jose, California, PT was awarded "Best in Show-Hardware" for the Monterey 8000 product. First of its kind in the industry, the Monterey 8000 is an enhanced application-ready platform that combines compatibility with the latest MicroTCA.4 standard with superset extensions including 40GbE backplane performance and a doubling of the available power budget per blade to support the ever increasing demands of multi-core and special purpose processors.

• In early October, PT announced the addition of Xpress Telemarketer Guard™ (TMG) to its Xpress suite of next-generation network solutions. TMG is an advanced software feature that enables residential subscribers to intercept and divert annoying telemarketing calls. TMG is expected to generate interest among service providers worldwide, and is already offered in a major carrier's North American network.

More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy and financial performance can be found in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those Sections. The Company's future operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and factors which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, business and economic conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers, inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party suppliers, limitations of PT's manufacturing capacity and arrangements, the protection of PT's proprietary technology, errors or defects in our products, the effects of pending or threatened litigation, the dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates, potential impairments related to investments, foreign regulations, possible loss or significant curtailment of significant government contracts or subcontracts, and potential material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. In addition, during weak or uncertain economic periods, customers' visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of PT's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company, as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As a supplement to the GAAP-based consolidated financial statements contained in this press release, the Company is providing a presentation of non-GAAP financial measures which can be useful to investors to gain an overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance. Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors by excluding certain expenses the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses such as the effects of (a) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (b) stock-based compensation, (c) restructuring costs, (d) litigation costs, and (e) impairment charges.

Management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of our business, in making operating decisions and forecasting and planning for future periods. We also consider the use of the non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in assessing various aspects of our business operations.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial information and should not be considered in isolation from measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial information.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is included herein.

(b)    Stock-based compensation costs - a non-cash expense incurred in accordance with share-based compensation accounting guidance.

(c)    Restructuring costs - costs incurred as a result of restructuring activities taken to bring operating expenses more in line with expected revenues. 

(d)    Litigation expenses - legal expenses not indicative of core operating activities.

(e)    Impairment charge - vendor software - One-time impairment charge recorded in connection with the termination of a marketing reseller agreement with a vendor, not indicative of core operating activities.
