Lattice Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter

PENNSAUKEN, NJ--(Marketwire - Nov 19, 2012) - Lattice Incorporated (OTCBB: LTTC) ("Lattice" or the "Company"), a provider of advanced information and communications technology solutions to the corrections industry and key government agencies, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights:

• Revenue increased 7.3% to $2.73 million, compared to $2.55 million for the same period of 2011
• Net loss decreased 88.5% to $0.11 million, compared with a loss of $0.93 million for the same period of 2011

Nine Months Financial Highlights:

• Revenue decreased 4.4% to $8.62 million, compared to $9.01 million for the same period of 2011
• Net income was $0.02 million, compared with a loss of $3.44 million for the same period of 2011

Additional information may be found in the Company's 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Third quarter revenue from the Company's rapidly growing Communications Services segment increased 80.1% year-over-year and 15.4% quarter-on-quarter to $2.12 million, compared to $1.18 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $1.84 million in the second quarter of 2012, respectively. Segment revenue accounted for 77.7% of total company revenues in the third quarter, compared with 46.3% in the third quarter of 2011. Third quarter revenue from recurring services within the segment was up 27.3% to $1.44 million, compared to the same period of 2011, reflecting higher call volumes from correctional facilities and the increased number of facilities on the network.

Government Services revenue in the third quarter decreased to $0.61 million, compared with $1.37 million in the same period of 2011. The decrease in revenue in this segment was primarily attributable to the termination of contracts in 2011 and 2012, mainly the SPAWAR contracts which ended in May 2011. New contract awards and the expansion of funding on existing contracts have been impacted by the stagnation of contract funding in the Federal DoD market.

"We anticipate growing interest in our proprietary technology will drive revenue acceleration in our communications business in the quarters ahead," stated Paul Burgess, CEO of Lattice. "Overall demand for our technology and direct services remains robust, both domestically and internationally."

Mr. Burgess continued, "Cost-cutting efforts aided our ability to improve from a sizable net loss in 2011 to positive net income for the 2012 nine months period. Combined with the growth in our Communications Services segment, we anticipate a continued rebound in the current quarter."
