PHAZAR CORP Announces Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
PHAZAR CORP, (NASDAQ: ANTP) announced today the unaudited results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2009.
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2009
Revenues of $1.5 million for the third quarter decreased 53% compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year. The Company recognized a net loss of $241,039, or $ .10 per share for the third quarter, compared to net income of $334,267, or $.14 per share, in last year's fiscal third quarter.
Much of the 53% decrease in revenues year-to-year is attributable to the completion of a major antenna project for Page Iberica S.A. totaling approximately one million dollars in the third quarter last year. However, a slow-down in government and government related contracting activity was also a contributing factor in lower revenues for the three month period ended February 28, 2009.
The net loss in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 is attributed to lower revenues and a 23% increase in sales and administration expense. The increase in sales and administration expense reflects higher compensation costs associated with newly hired employees, incremental research and development costs during the quarter for continued development of our new mesh radio wireless network product line and an increase in legal and professional fees primarily associated with the ongoing FINRA arbitration claim against UBS Financial Services.
Commenting on the quarter, Garland P. Asher, Chairman and CEO, said, “U.S. Government and related contracting activity can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. This has been particularly apparent during the current change in administration process and during a period of time where current year budget issues have yet to be resolved. However, after very subdued contract activity levels during the Fall and into January, 2009, a more normal pace appeared to be resuming in February, 2009. Meanwhile, the Company remains fiscally conservative with a strong debt free Balance Sheet and cash balances exceeding $3.7 million at quarter end.”
Nine Month Period Ending February 28, 2009
The Company reported revenues for the nine-month period of $5.6 million, a decrease of 17 % compared to $6.8 million for the comparable period last year. Net loss for the nine month period was $299,950, or $.13 per share compared to net income of $624,733, or $0.27 per share for the comparable period last year.
Backlog of Orders
The Company's backlog of orders on February 28, 2009, totaled approximately $1.9 million compared to $3.2 million at February 29, 2008, a decrease of 41%. Backlog at our May 31, 2008 year-end and our second quarter of fiscal year 2009 were $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Incoming orders for the nine month period totaled $5.1 million versus $6.4 million for the comparable period last year. The Company's book to ship ratio was 89 % for the nine month period ended February 28, 2009 compared to 94% for the comparable nine month period last year.

PHAZAR CORP ANNOUNCES SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
PHAZAR CORP, (NASDAQ: ANTP) announced today that at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Board of Directors of PHAZAR CORP authorized a share repurchase program, not to exceed $1,000,000. The resolution permits the Company to purchase common shares in open market transactions from time to time, subject to market conditions, at its discretion.
The shares will be held as Treasury shares and will be used from time to time to fund outstanding option grants when and if exercised, directors fees and compensation and other equity incentive based benefit programs which might arise in the future. However, the Company is not obligated to purchase any shares.
Commenting on the Board resolution, Garland P. Asher, Chairman and CEO, remarked: "Given our strong cash balances and the current negligible interest rates available on cash equivalent investment instruments, purchasing shares for Treasury with a portion of our cash should be a better potential investment return for our shareholders."

PHAZAR CORP Announces Second Quarter 2009 Financial Results
PHAZAR CORP (NASDAQ: ANTP) announced today the unaudited results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 2008.
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2009 Revenues of $2.1 million for the second quarter increased 23% compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year. The Company recognized a net loss of $ 153,703, or $ 0.07 per share for the second quarter, compared to net income of $114,224, or $0.05 per share, in last year's fiscal second quarter.
The increase in revenues is attributable to $333,417 of additional shipments in the antenna product line for the three month period ended November 30, 2008. The net loss in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 is attributed to lower gross profit margins and an increase in sales and administration expense. The lower gross profit margins were due to higher raw material costs on firm fixed price contracts. The increase in sales and administration expense reflects higher compensation costs associated with newly hired employees, incremental research and development costs during the quarter for continued development of our new mesh radio wireless networking product line and an increase in legal and professional fees primarily associated with the litigation against UBS Financial Services.
Six Month Period Ending November 30, 2008 The Company reported revenues for the six-month period of $4.1 million, an increase of 15% compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period last year. Net loss for the six-month period was $ 58,911, or $0.03 per share compared to net income of $290,466, or $0.13 per share for the comparable period last year.
Backlog of Orders The Company's backlog of orders on November 30, 2008, totaled approximately $2.1 million compared to $4.0 million at November 30, 2007, a decrease of 47.5%. Backlog at our May 31, 2008 year-end and our first quarter of fiscal year 2009 was $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Incoming orders for the six month period totaled $3.8 million versus $4.0 million for the comparable period last year.
The Company's book to ship ratio was 93% for the six month period ended November 30, 2008 compared to 114% for the comparable six month period last year.
More information and analysis of PHAZAR CORP’s financial results will be provided in the management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended November 30, 2008, estimated to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or around January 15, 2009.

In addition, Antenna Products Corporation has an available, unused $1,000,000 line of credit from its bank that it may draw upon to fund operations, if necessary. Antenna Products Corporation has not had to draw down on the line of credit to assist in funding its operations for over two years.

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2005--On November 3, 2005, PHAZAR CORP (Nasdaq:ANTP - News) received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter indicating that the Company fails to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4350 (c)(4)(A) and 4350 (c)(4)(B), requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and that the Company's common stock is, therefore, subject to delisting. Rules 4350 (c)(4)(A) and (B) provide:

In this event, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
