For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, CSP Inc. reported sales of $15.1 million compared with $14.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. CSP's first quarter net loss was $546,000, or $0.15 per share, compared with net income of $237,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter a year ago. During the first quarter the Company recorded compensation expense of $58,000 for the initial adoption of SFAS 123 (R) Share Based Payment for employee and director stock options and the employee stock purchase plan.

"While we achieved year-over-year revenue growth in the first fiscal quarter, our bottom-line performance was disappointing for several reasons," stated CSP President and Chief Executive Officer Alex Lupinetti. "At the MultiComputer systems segment, margins were affected by product mix as well as lower year-over-year revenues. As we previously announced, we expected that we would not record significant MultiComputer revenues in the first fiscal quarter due to the timing of orders. At MODCOMP, which comprises our service and system integration segment, our Systems and Solutions Division in Florida was disrupted for an extended period in October due to Hurricane Wilma, and our IT systems integration business in Germany experienced increased pricing pressure that results in reduced margins."

"We are encouraged about our MultiComputer business," continued Lupinetti. "During the first quarter, we received multiple orders for MultiComputers as we continued to see interest in our fully ruggedized open source products. We look forward to capitalizing on further opportunities for customers seeking equipment to operate in harsh and confined shipboard, airborne and land environments.

"At MODCOMP, we grew first-quarter revenue year-over-year on demand for our IT systems integration services and our best-of-breed integrated IT solutions," continued Lupinetti. "Our market share remains strong in both of these areas. As the demand for IT products and services in Europe improves, we plan to grow at MODCOMP by increasing sales and leveraging our strength in key markets. To do this, we plan to add to our sales force and capitalize on emerging opportunities in markets such as

telecommunications and cable television. While we will focus on sales growth, we also will remain vigilant on cost controls. We anticipate that MODCOMP will recover the lost sales due to Hurricane Wilma by the end of the fiscal year."

"Looking forward," continued Lupinetti, "we believe we will see improvement in our overall margins in the second fiscal quarter as we report revenues from new MultiComputer orders. We expect to enhance margins at MODCOMP as the year progresses."
