Reports Annual Revenue Increase of 8%, Annual Backlog Growth of 31% and Positive Net Income for the 4th Quarter

ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire - September 08, 2011) - LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) (the "Company," "LightPath," or "we"), a global manufacturer, distributor and integrator of patented optical components and high-level assemblies, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Full details are available in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed today with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Highlights:

• Backlog scheduled to ship within the next 12 months was $3.87 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of approximately $923,000 from June 30, 2010.
• Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $2.78 million as compared to $2.81 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
• Gross margin was 40% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to 51% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
• EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $281,000 compared to $488,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
• Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $429 compared to approximately $92,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
• Unit shipment volume in precision molded optics was up 44% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period last year.

Jim Gaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer of LightPath, commented, "For the fiscal year 2011 revenues grew 8% to $10 million, backlog increased $923,000 up 31% and gross margins remained healthy at 39% albeit down from the previous year as the cost of goods sold was impacted by the ramping up of production volume, competitive price pressures and product mix changes. We have identified the areas of cost increases and continue to work on cost reductions and productivity improvements. LightPath was able to grow its business in spite of an uncertain market environment and a weak economy. The work we have done during the year to strengthen our sales network and put out new products as we execute our business plan is paying off as shown in the revenue growth from our distribution and catalog channels, each up 18%, solid gains in instrumentation, up 29%, and industrial markets up 10%. Unit shipment volume continues to ramp up with a 44% increase in units shipped in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2011 and a 38% unit volume increase for fiscal year 2011."

"LightPath is continuing to improve its overall performance and has reported positive net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Fiscal fourth quarter revenue grew to $2.78 million up 14% over the previous quarter. Gross margin was 40% and our backlog of orders grew $240,000 quarter to quarter. EBITDA for fiscal fourth quarter of 2011 was $281,000 indicating the continued improved performance of the Company's core operations."

Gaynor continued, "Despite all the economic uncertainty and high unemployment rate, the photonics industry remains an area of high growth. The July 2011 Photonics Market Index (an index of 25 photonics companies, which includes LightPath, published by OEM Capital) is up 12.1% this calendar year to date and up 75% for the last 12 months as compared to the S&P 500. While we are cautious about the near term we believe, as the fiscal 2011 results above indicate, that our business plan is working. We see continued growth opportunities for LightPath in the low cost commercial and infrared markets that make us very optimistic and excited for our long term business. While we have seen gross margin erosion in 2011 due primarily to competitive price pressure, increased labor costs overseas and product mix changes, we do have plans in place to further reduce our manufacturing costs and improve our gross margin contribution. We expect our upward growth trend to continue and anticipate it to accelerate in fiscal 2012."

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $2.78 million compared to $2.81 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 1%. This decrease was primarily attributable to product mix changes, with lower sales volumes of isolators offset by higher sales in collimators. Our precision molded optics sales units were significantly higher as a result of our increased production capability and our pursuit of high volume low cost lens business. Growth in sales going forward is expected to be derived primarily from the precision molded optics product line, our low cost lenses being sold in Asia and a number of new lens designs currently in development.

Our gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased to 40% from 51%. Total manufacturing cost of $1.7 million was approximately $297,000 higher in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The manufacturing cost increase was due to higher wages, increased freight costs and higher tooling expenses primarily associated with increasing our production rates. Unit shipment volume in precision molded optics was up 44% in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year. The manufacturing cost increase was partially offset by a 22% improvement in productivity.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2011 total costs and expenses decreased $60,000 to $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $95,000 to $842,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The primary cost reduction resulted from decreasing the amount spent on investor relation activities by $60,000. This reduction was partially offset by increased spending of $39,000 to $258,249 on new product development.

The net result of the higher cost of goods sold and lower total costs and expenses is a net operating income of $22,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

Interest expense was approximately $23,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $193,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. This decrease in interest expense resulted from the conversion of a portion of the outstanding convertible debentures into shares of our common stock. In March 2011, we also extended the maturity date of the outstanding convertible debentures to August 1, 2013. The convertible debentures issued in August 1, 2008 accounted for approximately $20,000 of interest during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This includes periodic interest at 8% and the amortization of the related debt issuance costs and debt discount.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $429 or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share, compared with to $92,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted per common share for the same period in fiscal 2010. Weighted-average basic shares outstanding increased to 9,714,156 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 8,858,563 in the fourth quarter in fiscal 2010 primarily due to the issuance of shares of common stock related to the conversion of debentures in fiscal 2011.

Financial Results for Year Ended June 30, 2011

Revenue for the fiscal year 2011 totaled $10.0 million compared to $9.3 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of 8%. The increase from the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes for precision molded optics, collimators and GRADIUM® lenses. Our sales of precision molded optics units were significantly higher but our average selling price was lower. This is the result of our pursuit of high-volume low-cost lens business. Growth in sales going forward is expected to be derived primarily from the precision molded optics product line, our low cost lenses being sold in Asia and a number of new lens designs currently in development.

Our gross margin percentage in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 decreased to 39% from 47%. Total manufacturing cost of $6.1 million was $1.1 million higher in fiscal 2011 compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase in cost of goods sold resulted from increased costs associated with ramping up production volumes, competitive price pressures and product mix changes. We incurred increased labor costs of $225,000 for additional staff needed to manage our increased production volume, an increase in the Chinese labor rates totaling $238,000, higher freight costs of $124,000 and one-time costs of $229,000 associated with increasing the amount of tooling inventory to support higher production levels. In addition, the changes in our product mix increased our costs by $286,000. The product mix change was due to higher sales of isolators, collimators and gradium lenses which all have a higher material cost. Unit shipment volume in precision molded optics was up 38% in fiscal 2011 compared to last year. Direct costs, which include material, labor and services, were 27% of revenue in fiscal 2011, as compared to 24% in the prior year. Even with these cost increases we were able to decrease our average cost per unit by 10%. However, this cost improvement was offset by an average selling price decline of 21%. This decrease in selling price was primarily attributed to competitive pricing pressure of precision molded optic lenses and product mix changes. We intend to continue implementing our cost reduction plans and productivity improvements to improve our financial results.

During fiscal 2011, total costs and expenses increased by $626,000 to $4.8 million compared to $4.2 million for fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2010, there were several one-time events that decreased out total costs and expenses by $625,000. These one-time events included D&O insurance payments to refund legal expenses and reversal of accruals for litigation and royalty payments. In fiscal 2011, we had higher salaries and benefit costs of $155,000 and an increase of $95,000 in stock compensation expense offset by a decrease of $262,000 in legal costs.

Interest expense was approximately $606,000 for fiscal 2011 as compared to approximately $728,000 for fiscal 2010. Approximately $5,600 of the interest expense for fiscal 2010 was attributable to our equipment term loan and our capital equipment lease. The convertible debentures issued on August 1, 2008 accounted for approximately $606,000 and $722,000 of interest during fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. This represents periodic interest of 8%, amortization and write-off of the related debt issuance costs and debt discount. Included in these totals are related debt discount, debt issue costs and prepaid interest for $262,500 for debentures which were converted into common stock during fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2011, we incurred a $132,000 for loss on extinguishment of debt incurred when we extended the term of the debentures in fiscal 2011.

Net loss for fiscal 2011 was $1.6 million or $0.17 per basic and diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $561,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted per common share for fiscal 2010. Weighted-average shares outstanding increased to 9,533,558 in fiscal 2011 compared to 8,139,852 in fiscal 2010 primarily due to the issuance of shares of common stock related to the conversion of debentures to common stock in fiscal 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $929,000 at June 30, 2011. Total current assets and total assets at June 30, 2011 were $4.6 million and $7.1 million compared to $4.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010. Total current liabilities and total liabilities at June 30, 2011 were $1.5 million and $3.1 million compared to $1.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for June 30, 2010. As a result, the current ratio as of June 30, 2011 decreased to 3.01 to 1 compared to 4.41 to 1 as of June 30, 2010. Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2011 totaled $4.0 million compared to $4.2 million at June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011 our backlog of orders scheduled to ship in the next 12 months, was $3.9 million compared to $2.9 million as of June 30, 2010.

The discussions of our results as presented in this release include use of non-GAAP terms "EBITDA" and "gross margin." Gross margin is determined by deducting the cost of sales from operating revenue. Cost of sales includes manufacturing direct and indirect labor, materials, services, fixed costs for rent, utilities and depreciation, and variable overhead. Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). We believe that gross margin, although a non-GAAP financial measure is useful and meaningful to investors as a basis for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that demonstrates our cost structure and provides funds for our total costs and expenses. We use gross margin in measuring the performance of our business and have historically analyzed and reported gross margin information publicly. Other companies may calculate gross margin in a different manner.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management, lenders and certain investors as a supplemental measure in the evaluation of some aspects of a corporation's financial position and core operating performance. Investors sometimes use EBITDA as it allows for some level of comparability of profitability trends between those businesses differing as to capital structure and capital intensity by removing the impacts of depreciation, amortization and interest expense. EBITDA also does not include changes in major working capital items such as receivables, inventory and payables, which can also indicate a significant need for, or source of, cash. Since decisions regarding capital investment and financing and changes in working capital components can have a significant impact on cash flow, EBITDA is not a good indicator of a business's cash flows. We use EBITDA for evaluating the relative underlying performance of the Company's core operations and for planning purposes. We calculate EBITDA by adjusting net loss to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, thus the term "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" and the acronym "EBITDA."
