Dépèche transmise le 20 janvier 2011 par Business Wire

CARLSTADT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (NYSE AMEX: TIK) announced that they have retained the services of Institutional Marketing Services (IMS), a full service investor relations firm founded by John Nesbett.

“Given the improved prospects for the Company, we look forward to implementing a more strategic program to improve our investor communications. IMS has experience working with quality emerging companies with recent experience advising first tier suppliers to the military and aerospace sector. We look forward to working with them.”

Jeffrey O’Hara, CEO of Tel-Instrument stated, “Given the improved prospects for the Company, we look forward to implementing a more strategic program to improve our investor communications. IMS has experience working with quality emerging companies with recent experience advising first tier suppliers to the military and aerospace sector. We look forward to working with them.”

John G. Nesbett, Founder and President of IMS commented, “Tel-Instrument is currently going through a unique adjustment in the scale of its business. The Company’s core testing products provide a vital function for both military and commercial airplanes, ensuring that an aircraft’s navigation, communication, and identification systems are working properly. Over the past few years the Company has ‘kept their head down’ and invested heavily in research and development, particularly as it relates to a new encrypted Mode 5 IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) technology platform which the US and NATO countries will migrate to in the years to come. Tel Instrument’s leading-edge solutions have won them sizable contracts against much larger competitors and resulted in a ramp in their backlog to $33 million, well above the $8.9 million in sales they achieved in FY 2010. With relatively fixed costs, this backlog should translate to meaningful profitability and strong EPS for shareholders, particularly given the tight capital structure management has maintained over the years. IMS looks forward to helping Tel-Instruments create a broader, more educated investor audience as the company grows.”
