Profit from Operations of $256,000 on Year-Over-Year Sales

Increase of 100%; Completes debt-to-equity Conversion

DataMetrics Corporation (OTCBB: DMTI) today announced its financial results for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended April 28, 2002.

For the 2002 second quarter, the Company reported sales of $1,541,000, an increase of 100 percent versus the second quarter of 2001. The increase in sales was due primarily to recognition of the second and final part of an exclusive license agreement with 3M signed by the Company in the first quarter. As a result, the Company reported a profit from operations of $256,000 for the quarter, a gain of $2,676,000 over the prior year's operating loss. After interest and other corporate expenses, the Company's net loss for the period was $(220,000), a year-over-year improvement of $2,478,000, or 92 percent.

For the six months ended April 28, 2002, DataMetrics reported total sales of $3,035,000 versus $1,630,000 a year earlier, an increase of $1,405,000, or 86 percent. The Company reported a profit from operations of $292,000 for the first half of fiscal 2002 versus a loss of $(3,296,000) in the comparable 2001 period, a year-over-year improvement of $3,588,000. After interest and other corporate expenses, the net loss for the six-month period amounted to $(376,000), a turnaround of $2,462,000 compared with the prior year net loss of $(2,838,000). The basic and diluted loss per common share was $(.19) for the fiscal 2002 first half on 1,992,000 weighted average shares outstanding versus $(6.49) on 437,000 weighted average shares outstanding in 2001.

DataMetrics Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Bertram stated, "We are very pleased with the progress the Company has made during the first half of 2002. Financially, we have reported a profit from operations in both quarters of this year versus our operating losses of the prior year. We attribute this to both our substantial increase in sales as well as our continued focus on streamlining operations. In addition, during the quarter we substantially strengthened our balance sheet through the conversion of more than $6,000,000 of debt to equity."

Bertram continued, "Operationally, our bookings of new military contracts also increased during the most recent quarter, contributing to a quarter-end sales backlog level reaching $1.5 million, a 32 percent jump year over year. Complementing our growing backlog, our proposal activity has also risen significantly due to the ongoing strength in military/defense spending by the U.S. government. During the quarter, we also successfully completed the transition and integration of Peripheral Equipment Corporation (PEC), which we acquired last December, into our Orlando facility. We are optimistic about the new sales opportunities that we expect from PEC as well as those related to the emerging U.S. homeland security initiatives now being formulated and implemented."
