Section 7 – Regulation FD

Item 7.01.   Regulation FD Disclosure

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp will be reporting fourth quarter revenues of $5.2 million for the period ending March 31, 2012 when it releases its audited financial statements. Net profits for the fourth quarter will be below expectations due in part to a warranty reserve to correct issues seen in previously sold CRAFT units. For the first quarter for the 2013 fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, TIC is forecasting sharply reduced revenues and a loss due mainly to a temporary hold in CRAFT 708 production shipments to correct issues discovered in prior CRAFT 719 deliveries and incorporate the final AIMS approved software configuration which includes several product enhancements. TIC has also experienced continuing delays in securing a production release on the TS-4530A program from the Army. TIC has made several management changes to enhance its organizational structure and provide emphasis to the manufacturing stage of the Company’s development as it enters the production phase of its three major programs. The Company is working closely with the Navy and the Army to secure production releases on the CRAFT and TS-4530A programs and is optimistic that this will occur within the next 30 days. TIC is still predicting significant revenue and profitability growth for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

With the delays on the CRAFT and TS-4530A production in the current quarter ending June 30, 2012, TIC’s cash flow has been negatively impacted. As such, TIC is exploring alternative mechanisms to secure additional short-term financing. This includes working with the government to secure progress payments on these programs.   

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
