WPCS Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2015

4th Quarter Generated Income From Continuing Operations

SUISUN, CA--(Jul 30, 2015) - WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), which specializes in contracting services for communications infrastructure, today announced that on July 29, 2015, it filed its Form 10-K, Annual Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015.

Sebastian Giordano, Interim CEO of WPCS, commented, "Operational results this past year demonstrated that our core business, Suisun City Operations, continues to perform profitably. While the overall Company had an operating loss of $1,069,000 and $3,932,000 for the twelve months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, Suisun City Operations had operating income of $1,577,000 and $776,000 for the same periods. Moreover, the Company produced income from continuing operations of $397,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2015 as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $420,000 for the same period in 2014."

Financial Results for the Year Ended April 30, 2015
Revenue for the twelve months ended April 30, 2015 increased $8,667,000, or 55%, to $24,418,000, as compared to $15,751,000, for the same period in 2014.

The Company's loss from continuing operations for the year ended April 30, 2015 was $6,998,000, due primarily from the $1,069,000 operating loss, interest expense of $2,839,000 and a non-cash charge for inducement expense of $5,493,000, which was partially offset by income from Section 16 settlements of $1,402,000, recognition of a gain on the forgiveness of $884,000 of accounts payable and other income of $187,000. This compared to a loss from continuing operations of approximately $10,563,000 for the same period in 2014.

WPCS has recorded the financial results of our divested subsidiaries as discontinued operations. Accordingly, for the twelve months ended April 30, 2015, WPCS recorded a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2,106,000. The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended April 30, 2015 totaled approximately $11,329,000.

Moreover, subsequent to April 30, 2015, the Company completed a series of transactions that it believes will provide it with sufficient working capital and equity to operate for the next twelve months. The subsequent transactions included the: (i) elimination of $1,703,000 of promissory notes which were due and payable on September 30, 2015; (ii) issuance of common stock to satisfy approximately $500,000 of the $677,000 of dividends payable at April 30, 2015; (iii) completion of a $1,575,000 equity financing transaction; and (iv) closing of a $1,000,000 line of credit for its Suisun Operations.

These events have not only provided cash to the Company, but eliminated future cash requirements and, along with expected continued operating profits from our Suisun Operation for fiscal year 2016 and lower corporate overhead, are the primary factors that support our belief that the Company will have adequate liquidity for the next twelve months.

"Removing the going concern opinion is certainly another strong indicator of the fact that, while the year's financial results reflected the impact of noncash charges and issues that no longer exist, the restructuring efforts that commenced in third quarter of fiscal year ending April 30, 2014 and continued during, and subsequent to, the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, have yielded significant positive results for the Company," Giordano concluded.
