Giga-tronics Reports First Quarter Results
     San Ramon, CA — Giga-tronics Incorporated (NASDAQ: GIGA) reported today a net profit of $92,000 or $0.02 per fully diluted share for the quarter ending June 30, 2007. This compares with a net loss of $1,027,000 or $0.21 per fully diluted share for the same period a year ago. The net profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 resulted from a 37% net sales increase to $4,628,000 versus $3,386,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 along with a 6.5% net margin improvement to 42%. Operating expenses decreased 14% or $317,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007. This was primarily due to decreases of $375,000 in product development expenses. Also included in the $92,000 net profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was a one time restructuring charge of $80,000 or $0.02 per fully diluted share in severance costs.
     During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded $64,000 as income on discontinued operations due to the receipt of a payment of $18,000 on previously reserved receivables, a payment of $41,000 from the sale of a previously written off asset, and an adjustment of $5,000 to the sub-lease accrual.
     Orders improved 70% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to $4,980,000 from $2,933,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Our book-to-bill ratio increased to 1.08 versus 0.87 in the same period a year ago.
     Backlog at quarter end was $8.8 million (approximately $5.9 million is shippable within one year) as compared to $9.9 million (approximately $5.8 million was shippable within one year) at the end of the first quarter of the prior year.
     Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2007 were $1,815,000 compared to $1,804,000 as of March 31, 2007.
