WTT Wireless Telecom

Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (NYSE Amex: WTT) announced today results for the twelve months and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. On April 9, 2010 the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the operating assets of its wholly owned subsidiary Willtek Communications GmbH and affiliates (“Willtek”) to Aeroflex Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, in exchange for $2,750,000 in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is expected to close on or about April 30, 2010. Accordingly, the effects of this transaction on the Willtek operations have been reflected as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations, whereas, the effects of sales and net income from continuing operations are reported separately in the December 31, 2009 and 2008 financial statements.

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported net sales from continuing operations of $ 5,905,000, compared to $ 5,650,000 for the same period in 2008, an increase of 4.5%. For the twelve months, net sales from continuing operations were $ 22,828,000, compared to $ 25,675,000 for the prior year period, a decrease of 11%. The revenue of the Company was impacted by the slowdown in the economy in 2008 and early 2009. Revenues in the second half of 2009 have reflected stronger results with signs of improvement as the economy recovers.

For the fourth quarter, net income from continuing operations was $ 5,912,000 or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(466,000), or $(0.02) per diluted share, for the prior year period in 2008. For the twelve months, net income from continuing operations was $5,460,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(153,000) or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the prior year period. Included in the net income from continuing operations for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, is the tax benefit recognized, net of a valuation allowance, of approximately $6,400,000 or $0.25 per diluted share relating to the disposition of Willtek. Approximately $1,900,000 of this amount will be recovered through a tax carry back loss claim in 2010 and the remainder will be realized through the offset of future taxable income.

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported a loss from discontinued operations – net of taxes of $(3,680,000) or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to $(28,770,000) or $(1.12) per diluted share for the prior year period. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations – net of taxes of $(3,428,000) or $(0.13) per diluted share, compared to $(31,112,000) or $(1.21) per diluted share for the prior year period. The 2009 year end and fourth quarter loss from discontinued operations includes the excess of net assets of Willtek over the selling price adjusted for estimated closing costs. The year ended 2008 loss from discontinued operations primarily consists of a full write-down in the goodwill and intangible assets of Willtek.

For the fourth quarter, the Company reported from continuing and discontinued operations, net income of $2,233,000 or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(29,236,000) or $(1.14) per diluted share, for the prior period in 2008. For the twelve months, net income from continuing and discontinued operations was $2,032,000 or $0.08 per diluted share for the year ended 2009, compared to a net loss of $(31,265,000) or $(1.22), for the prior year period. Included in net income for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, is the tax benefit recognized, net of a valuation allowance, of approximately $6,400,000 or $0.25 per diluted share relating to the disposition of Willtek.
