WPCS Reports FY2006 and 4th Quarter Results

 
EXTON, PA — (PR Newswire-First Call) - July 27, 2006) WPCS International Incorporated (Nasdaq: WPCS) has reported its financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended April 30, 2006. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, WPCS reported total revenue of approximately $52.1 million compared to $40.1 million for the same period a year ago, which represents an increase of approximately 30%. For the year ended April 30, 2006, non-GAAP net income was approximately $2.5 million or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $85,000 or $0.03 per share for the same period a year ago.

For the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2006, WPCS reported total revenue of approximately $13.9 million compared to $11.1 million for the same period a year ago, which represents an increase of approximately 25%. For the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2006, non-GAAP net income was approximately $688,000 or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of approximately $296,000 or $0.08 per share for the same period last year.

From a GAAP perspective, the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2006 generated net income of approximately $8.0 million or $1.62 per diluted share, which includes a non-cash gain of approximately $7.3 million related to accounting for warrant liabilities under EITF 00-19. For the same period in the prior year, the reported net income was approximately $2.0 million or $0.51 per share, which included a non-cash gain of approximately $2.3 million related to accounting for warrant liabilities under EITF 00-19. For FY2006, the company reported a net loss of approximately $1.6 million or $0.40 per share, which includes a non-cash loss of approximately $4.1 million related to accounting for warrant liabilities under EITF 00-19. For the same period in the prior year, the reported net income was $1.3 million or $0.49 per share, which also included a non-cash gain of approximately $1.4 million related to accounting for warrant liabilities under EITF 00-19.

Andrew Hidalgo, CEO of WPCS International Incorporated, commented: “FY2006 was a very successful year for the company. From a non-GAAP perspective, we achieved the projected EPS target of $0.58 for the year and reached new highs in revenue and earnings. Although we had to comply with the accounting issues caused by EITF 00-19, which generated significant non-cash charges, we were able to eliminate these non-cash charges going forward and post a substantial credit in the fourth quarter. Addressing EITF 00-19 has overshadowed what has been a very successful year for WPCS and has caused some confusion for our investors. However, it is important for our investors to know that these charges and credits were non-cash related and do not affect the financial health of WPCS. It is all behind us and now we can focus on FY2007, which we believe will be our most successful year thus far.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure (Unaudited)

(1) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Net Income:

Non-GAAP net income is defined as net income (loss), as reported plus non-cash loss (gain) on fair value of warrants. Our measure of non-GAAP net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The loss (gain) on fair market value of warrants represents the non-cash change in the fair value of certain warrants during the period. This non-cash loss (gain) has no impact on our cash flows or cash resources.
