Xenonics Receives Purchase Order for U.S. Army Non-Lethal Capability Program; Order Valued at More Than $200,000 is Part of a Multi-Year Procurement Effort.

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Xenonics Holdings, Inc. (AMEX:XNN) announced today that the U.S. Army has ordered 80 NightHunter illumination systems through the non-lethal capability program. The latest purchase order under this ongoing procurement program is valued at approximately $200,000. Xenonics expects to ship this entire order by the end of June.

"Our NightHunter illumination system was selected for inclusion in the non-lethal capability sets (NLCS) after a rigorous competitive evaluation process. The sets, which include a NightHunter as well as other non-lethal equipment, are being provided to our forces throughout the world under a multi-year procurement program. Prior to this order, we already have delivered $1.4 million of NightHunters under the NLCS program during the past 18 months, and we expect additional orders in the future," said Dick Naughton, CEO of Xenonics.

"The NLCS program is another confirmation of the value of our proprietary illumination products, and represents another significant step toward our goal of making our NightHunter systems a permanent part of the military and homeland security arsenal," Naughton said.
