EXTON, PA - (PR Newswire-First Call) - - December 15, 2009 - NASDAQ: WPCS - News)  - WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), a leader in design-build engineering services for communications infrastructure, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 ended October 31, 2009. For the second quarter, WPCS reported revenue of $24.3 million compared to $28.8 million for the same period a year ago. WPCS reported net income of $337,000 or $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter compared to $362,000 or $0.05 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. Year to date through the six months ended October 31, 2009 WPCS reported revenue of $49.6 million compared to $57.0 million for the same period a year ago. For the six month period, the reported net income was $772,000 or $0.11 per diluted share compared to net income of $1.2 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.

Andrew Hidalgo, CEO of WPCS, commented, “The second quarter results fell within our expectations and the company is reaffirming its guidance for fiscal year 2010, which is a range of $0.31 to $0.34 in earnings per share. Our backlog remained relatively flat at $28 million at the end of the second quarter, however, our bids have increased substantially to $245 million which is an indication that we are beginning to see a more robust level of activity. Due to this increase in bid activity, we expect our backlog to grow accordingly over the next few quarters. From an operating income perspective, a positive highlight in the second quarter was the achievement of a 31% gross margin. WPCS continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet with $22.3 million in working capital, $5.6 million in credit line borrowing and $8.5 million in cash. In addition, the credit line borrowing to working capital ratio remains favorably low at 25%. Accounts receivable remained stable with day sales outstanding of 70 days. In summary, the company feels confident that the second half of the fiscal year will show improvement over the first half of the fiscal year.”
