Strong first half gross profit margins despite recession's impact
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced
Photonix, Inc.® (NYSE Amex: API) (the "Company") today reported its
second quarter fiscal 2010 results ending September 25, 2009.
Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended September 25,
2009 -- Net sales for the quarter were $5.4 million, a decrease of
$.5 million, or 8%, compared to revenues for the first quarter
ended June 26, 2009. The decrease was broad based across four of
its five markets. -- Gross profit margin for the first six months
was 45% compared to 46% for the prior year six month period,
despite a 29% drop in revenue compared to the record revenues in
the first half of last year. Strong gross margins reflect the
results of company-wide cost reduction initiatives and prior years'
facilities consolidation activities. -- GAAP net loss for the
quarter was $1,192,000, or $.05 per diluted share, as compared to a
GAAP net loss of $326,000, or $.01 per diluted share for the
quarter ended September 26, 2008. GAAP net loss year to date was
$1,488,000 or $.06 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of
$179,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the prior year period. --
The Non-GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was
$452,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP net
income of $306,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the comparable
quarter ended September 26, 2008. The Company reported year to date
Non-GAAP net loss of $137,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, as
compared to a Non-GAAP income of $1,173,000, or $0.05 per diluted
share, for the comparable prior year period. -- On an EBITDA basis
(which is defined as GAAP earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization), the Company reported EBITDA of a
negative $220,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared
to positive EBITDA of $557,000 for the quarter ended September 26,
2008. For the year to date, the Company reported positive EBITDA of
$334,000 as compared to positive EBITDA of $1,592,000 for the
comparable prior year period. Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, commented, "As we previously stated, the first
half of the year was negatively impacted by the recessionary
environment and this quarter was in line with our expectations. We
have taken the necessary cost reduction steps to minimize the
impact of the revenue shortfall in the first half of the year and
anticipate second half revenue to show a return to growth driven
mainly by our HSOR and Terahertz product platforms. While we do not
anticipate top line revenue to meet 2009 numbers, predominantly due
to the industrial product market being closely tied to the overall
economy, we do expect the second half of the year to show growth
over the first six months and with the reduced cost structure, a
return to GAAP profitability. We continue to invest in our product
platforms that position us for additional future growth as the
overall economy improves." The Company will hold a conference call
to discuss the results for the second quarter ended September 25,
2009 on Monday, November 9, 2009, at 4:30 PM EST. Participants can

associated with the move of our wafer fabrication facilities,
technological obsolescence of existing product lines and
technological obstacles which may prevent or slow the development
and/or manufacture of new products, limited (or slower than
anticipated) customer acceptance of new products which have been
and are being developed by the Company and a decline in the general
demand for optoelectronic products. CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
