Section 7 – Regulation FD

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. announced that the Department of Defense (DoD) AIMS Program Office has certified on March 11, 2013 its TS-4530A Flight Line Test Set for use in testing Mark XIIA IFF (“Identification Friend and Foe”), Mode S (ELS/EHS/ADS-B) and TCAS systems. This certification is related to a $44 million Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (“IDIQ”) contract from the U.S. Army to upgrade up to 3,000 existing legacy test sets to support Mode 5 testing and produce up to 2,000 new TS-4530A test sets.  The Company has already received over $22 million dollars in orders from this award. The current delivery schedule, which entails monthly billings of approximately $1 million, is currently being evaluated by the Army. The issue standing in the way of a full-rate production approval is the Army request that changes be made to the logistics documentation package. This could take several months to complete and the Company has requested Army approval to commence LRIP (limited rate initial production) shipments while updates are made to the logistics documentation.
 
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
