Sunrise Telecom Announces Estimated Revenue Results and Estimated Backlog 

 
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 7, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sunrise Telecom® Incorporated (Pink Sheets: SRTI.PK - News), a leader in testing and monitoring solutions for voice, video, data services and next-generation digital multimedia, today announced preliminary estimated revenue in the range of $16 to $18 million for the first quarter 2006. These estimated results compare favorably to the expected revenue of $14 to $17 million that the Company announced on February 23, 2006. The Company also announced that it expects to have estimated sales backlog of between $12 million and $14 million as of the end of the quarter, as compared to $7.6 million at the end of the last quarter as well as the first quarter a year ago.
 
Said Sunrise CFO, Rick Kent, “We are pleased with our preliminary estimated first quarter revenues and the significant growth in our backlog. Our first quarter is typically our slowest sales quarter, and these results reflect one of the best first quarters in the Company’s history. This represents a substantial improvement from the $11.7 million in sales reported for the first quarter of 2005, which was adversely impacted by shipment delays. We see strong demand across all product lines and regions, with particular momentum coming from new triple-play test-equipment initiatives by large North American service providers.” The Company’s previously announced Audit Committee investigation into transactions and issues involving the sales office in Korea is ongoing, with the Audit Committee evaluating sales practices in a number of sales offices.
 
Sunrise Telecom expects to report more detailed financial information for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006 in a press release in early May 2006.
