CSP INC. REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER FISCAL 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Income increases 57% Year over Year; Sales Grow 56%
BILLERICA, MA, May 9, 2005 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), a provider of IT solutions, systems integration services and dense cluster computing systems, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 ended March 31, 2005.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2005, CSP Inc., reported that sales increased 56 percent to $19.0 million from $12.2 million in the year-earlier quarter. CSP's second-quarter net income increased by 57 percent to $750,000 or $0.20 per diluted share as compared to $478,000 or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
For the first six months ended March 31, 2005, the Company reported sales of $33.3 million, an increase of 39 percent from sales of $24.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2004. For the six-month period of fiscal 2005, the Company reported a 295 percent increase in net income to $987,000 or $0.26 per diluted share as compared to $250,000 or $0.07 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year..
"CSP reported outstanding top-and bottom-line results in the second quarter," stated Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Alexander R. Lupinetti. "This performance is the result of our success in attracting new customers across our businesses with innovative products and solutions."

Second-quarter Results/2Systems
"Our MultiComputer Group's excellent second-quarter performance reflects shipments of equipment from previous contract wins for our open system multicomputers," said Lupinetti. "During the second quarter, we made the first shipment of StarGate 2923 and FastCluster 2942 open system
Multicomputers as part of the major international contract win we announced last quarter. These Multicomputers will be used for sonar applications."
"We also completed the shipments of our FastCluster 2942 blades to Lockheed Martin for the Development and Demonstration phase of the U.S. Navy's Advanced Hawkeye program (now designated the Hawkeye E-2D) for qualification, reliability and flight testing. The Hawkeye E-2D is a tactical battle management, airborne early warning, and command and control aircraft. Going forward, we will receive royalty payments each time Lockheed Martin builds and ships prototypes."
Services and Systems Integration
"Business also was very strong at our MODCOMP division, where we are seeing robust demand for our integration consulting services for complex IT environments," Lupinetti said. "We experienced shortened sales cycles, and were able to close business that we had expected to receive in subsequent quarters."
"We had a great quarter for new business at MODCOMP's German and U.S. subsidiaries. In Germany, large companies are turning to MODCOMP for servers and storage outsourcing and maintenance as well as network security infrastructure services. MODCOMP's U.S.-based Systems and Solutions Division (SSD), which provides best-of-breed solutions for integrated IT environments, continues to gain market share in a robust demand environment. We also made progress in hiring additional salespeople at SSD to capitalize on growth opportunities in that market."

Going Forward |
"We expect that MODCOMP will continue to grow with the market demand. In addition, our open source multicomputers are well positioned in the competitive defense marketplace and we will continue to record revenue from existing contracts," concluded Lupinetti.
