BILLERICA, MA, January 12, 2006 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), a provider of IT solutions, systems integration services and dense cluster computing systems, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, CSP Inc. reported sales from continuing operations of $13.1 million compared with $14.2 million from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. CSP's fourth-quarter loss from continuing operations was $445,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operations of $491,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter a year ago.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, CSP reported sales from continuing operations of $57.5 million compared with sales of $51.4 million from continuing operations for fiscal year 2004. For fiscal year 2005, income from continuing operations was $770,000, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operation of $1.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the prior year.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 including discontinued operations was $445,000, or $.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $523,000, or $.14 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. For the fiscal year 2005 net income, including discontinued operations was $753,000, or $.20 per diluted share, compared with $1.2 million, or $.32 per diluted share, for the prior fiscal year. The Company's full-year fiscal 2005 financial results include a pretax gain of $114,000 from the previously announced sale of the assets of its Scanalytics subsidiary included in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

"We reported lower year-over-year sales in the fourth fiscal quarter due to a combination of factors," stated President and CEO, Alex Lupinetti. "As expected, we experienced a decrease in Systems revenue from MultiComputers in the fourth fiscal quarter. We had recorded substantial revenue in the first half of the fiscal year associated with shipments from three previous MultiComputer contract wins. Service and Systems Integration revenue for MODCOMP sales in the quarter were affected by the continued softness in the European demand environment and higher-than-expected erosion of its legacy process control maintenance contracts. Lower sales volume and higher cost of sales resulted in a net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter."

"During fiscal 2005, we made important investments in both our Service and Systems Integration segment and the Systems segment, attracted new customers to both businesses and grew sales by 12 percent for the full year," continued Lupinetti. "Significant investments in research and development at our MultiComputer business and in our direct sales force at our Systems and Solutions division primarily contributed to a year-over-year decline in operating income for fiscal 2005."

"During fiscal 2005, we invested in the development of a new line of fully ruggedized open source MultiComputers in order to capitalize on the demand for products that can operate effectively in harsh and confined shipboard, airborne and land environments," added Lupinetti. "These new MultiComputers have been very well received and we fulfilled the shipment terms for the first-year of a contract for these products with a major international defense contractor."

"Also driving MultiComputer product sales in fiscal 2005 were shipments to Lockheed Martin for the development and demonstration phase of the U.S. Navy's Advanced Hawkeye E-2D program," said Lupinetti. "Going forward, we will receive royalty payments each time Lockheed Martin builds and ships prototypes."

"Fiscal 2005 also was a successful year at our MODCOMP subsidiary," continued Lupinetti. "We leveraged our expertise in IT systems integration to capitalize on the trend toward the consolidation of servers and associated storage systems and on the growing need for enhanced network security infrastructure. Our Systems and Solutions Division (SSD), which provides best-of-breed solutions in integrated IT environments, continued to perform well throughout fiscal 2005. We capitalized on the demand environment in this area by growing the SSD sales force."

"We are excited by our growth prospects in both of our business segments in fiscal 2006. We look forward to capitalizing on the demand for IT systems integration services and in continuing to grow our SSD sales force to capture a greater share of the integrated IT solutions market. We expect that our investments in Multicomputer products that meet the specific needs of our defense customers will result in sales opportunities in fiscal 2006 and beyond. In fact, we already have received three significant MultiComputer orders and expect to receive revenue relating to these orders in the second fiscal quarter. As we previously anticipated, however, we do not expect to report significant MultiComputer revenue in the first fiscal quarter," concluded Lupinetti.
