Tel is also innegotiations with Lockheed Martin on a Mode 5 test set order which isexpected to be issued later this month.

Jeffrey O’Hara, the Company’s President and CEO indicated that “this$4.3 million order for additional Mode 5 test sets for the U.S. militarywill result in a sharp increase in revenues and profitability asshipments will commence this month. The pending Lockheed Martin contractfor the F-35 program is also important for the Company and we expectadditional volume orders next year as well. Moreover, the internationalMode 5 market is becoming much more active due to the January 1, 2020compliance mandate for Mode 5 capability with competitive solicitationsexpected in several countries this fall. In addition, several largeinternational markets have indicated that volume orders for Tel’s newT-47/M5 test set will be issued as soon the test set receives AIMScertification (a U.S. DOD entity that certifies all Mode 5 equipment)which is taking place this month. We believe the T-47/M5 will be thetest set of choice for many international customers as it provides morecapability than our competition and can be sold as an upgrade kit forour legacy Mode 4 IFF test sets. Each of these large internationalmarkets represent a multi-million opportunity for Tel and we are wellpositioned in all markets as our test sets are highly regarded in theindustry. These contracts will reinforce our position as the pre-eminentworldwide supplier of Mode 5 flight-line test equipment.

The introduction of our new SDI – OMNI (Hand-held Test Set), which isexpected later this fiscal year, should greatly improve our marketposition in the commercial avionics sector as it is a revolutionaryproduct that will replace several competitive test sets. It will alsoallow entrance into the much larger secure communications test setmarket.

To support the impending growth in our business, the Company has raisedan additional $1 million of preferred stock financing and has reached anagreement with our bank to extend our bank loan until May 31, 2019.Despite the challenges the company has faced over the last two years, weare now well positioned for strong growth and are excited about ourfuture prospects.”
