For Immediate Release


Sunrise Telecom Reschedules Fourth Quarter 2004 Earnings Release and Conference Call to February 9, 2005


- Sales anticipated to be at the high end of the previously announced range of $18 to $20 million  -

 

SAN JOSE, CA, January 25, 2005-Sunrise Telecom Incorporated (NASDAQ: SRTI) today announced that the release of its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004 has been rescheduled from Tuesday, February 1, 2005 to Wednesday, February 9, 2005. The change in scheduling allows the Company and its auditors more time to complete the quarter and year-end financial review. The closing process for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004 has taken longer than expected due to additional procedures required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 as well as Company personnel changes. As previously announced, the former Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, Scott Green, resigned effective December 3, 2004. The Company hired Lawrence Stritch as Corporate Controller on December 1, 2004. Mr. Stritch is a licensed CPA with over twenty years of senior-level experience in financial organizations of both publicly traded and privately held technology companies, including positions as a Corporate Controller and a CFO.

 

Management reiterated the preliminary financial results provided on January 6, 2005, adding that it expected sales for the fourth quarter 2004 to be at the upper end of the previously announced $18- $20 million range. Management also added that expenses are expected to be generally in line with expectations based on recent quarters' performance.
