Frequency Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:FEIM) reported revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, which ended July 31, 2011, of $15.9 million, a 31% increase over the $12.1 million recorded in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company recorded operating profit of $1.8 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2011, compared to $789,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1.3 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to $507,000 or $0.06 per diluted share for the first quarter of the prior year.

Chairman of the Board General Joseph Franklin made the following comment: "These results show Frequency is very much on track for our goals of strong revenue growth and increasing profitability this year. As in the preceding quarter this level of revenues reflects the continuing impact of recent new orders for commercial and U.S. Government satellite payloads. Most of our year-over-year revenue growth was generated in our FEI-NY operation. This segment accounted for all of our satellite business and it generated excellent operating profits on the increased revenues. Confirming the high priority of our U.S. Government business, the Company received notice since the end of the last quarter of additional funding on the seventh and eighth of twelve satellites on a long-term government program. Frequency previously completed work on the first six of these satellites. This global communications system is typical of critical government programs to which Frequency is a key supplier and which need to be funded on a continuing and timely basis."

Chief Financial Officer Alan Miller provided the following comment on the Company's financial report: "We maintained the revenue trend that began in the fourth quarter of last year and demonstrated our operational leverage by achieving an operating profit of $1.8 million or 11% of revenues. In the following quarters of this fiscal year, based on the current mix of programs, we expect to see improved gross margins and operating profits on a year-over-year basis. We also generated positive operating cash flow of approximately $2.7 million and at the end of the quarter our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased to $22.6 million."
