For FY 2011, the Company reported net sales of $35,296,705 as compared to net sales of $34,867,746 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $428,959 or 1%.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported net income of $444,137 or $0.10 per diluted share as compared to net income of $469,429 or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. For FY 2011, net income was $1,517,827 or $0.33 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $1,147,830 or $0.25 per diluted share for FY 2010.

The increase in net sales for the fiscal year is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of integrated component sub-systems for defense jamming and electronic modernization of approximately $0.9 million, and an increase in component sales of approximately $1.6 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $0.7 million related to the beta test portion of a purchase agreement for a radio frequency identification system product line (“RFID”) application and a decrease of approximately $1.4 million related to a space based components application.

David Robbins, Micronetics CEO stated, "We are pleased with our strong core bookings, our backlog level, and our future revenue outlook. In the coming quarters we look to continue converting backlog into profitable revenue. At the same time, we expect to see significant integrated subsystem bookings in support of defense and electronics systems modernization, jamming, and in-flight data links.
