(Nasdaq: HTEK) announced today unaudited results for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2002. The Company recorded a net profit of $122,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 29, 2002, on revenues of $3.2 million, compared to a net profit of $11,000, or $0.00 per share, on revenues of $2.8 million, for the prior year second quarter. This represents a significant increase in net income and a 14% rise in revenues for the second quarter. For the six months ended June 29, 2002, net profit was $318,000 on revenues of $6.8 million as compared to a net loss of $652,000 on revenues of $4.1 million for the prior year six-month period. This represents a turnaround in net income and a 66% increase in revenues for the six-month period just ended. "We are happy to have continuing strength in revenues and positive operating results in the recent quarter," said Chuck Byrne, Hytek Chairman and CEO. "In comparison to the prior year, we have improved gross margin and effectively controlled operating costs for the first six months of 2002. Further, we have increased working capital by $357,000 during the six-month period," said Byrne. At June 29, 2002, the company's total backlog was approximately $7.2 million, of which approximately $6.2 million was scheduled to ship during the remainder of 2002. Total backlog was also $7.2 million at 2001 fiscal year-end. The company currently has 132 employees on payroll, up from 120 at fiscal 2001 year-end. "Our major business in the first six months of 2002 has been a combination of military-aerospace, geophysical exploration and medical applications. We have on-going backlog in these markets and expect to have continuing opportunities for additional business in these markets in the future," noted Byrne. During the second quarter, the Company renegotiated its line of credit with Bank of the West to reduce the amount available from $1,000,000 to $500,000 and to revise the financial covenants. The amount outstanding at June 29, 2002 was $425,000, down from $850,000 at December 29, 2001. The Company is in compliance with all the current loan covenants as of June 29, 2002. The auditor's opinion on the Company's financial statements for fiscal 2001 contained a "going concern" qualification, which was in part attributable to non-compliance with loan covenants at that time.
