Tel-Instrument Announces over $1,000,000 in New Orders, Including over $540,000 in International Mode 5 Orders

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel”, “Tel-Instrument” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TIK), a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement solutions, today announced that last week it received over $1,000,000 in orders from four (4) customers, including $543,000 of international Mode 5 orders and $442,000 in orders from our commercial distributor, primarily for a major U.S. airline.

In commenting on the results, Mr. Jeffrey O’Hara, President and CEO of Tel, stated, “We have seen a solid pick-up in orders from both our domestic and international customers this quarter with sales being made to several of our key international Mode 5 markets. Orders for our new T-47/M5 product continue to increase and we will begin shipping this product to customers later this month. The T-47/M5 is a key product for the Company as it can also be sold as a Mode 5 upgrade KIT for the thousands of Mode 4 test sets already in the field. The Company continues to pursue international opportunities with its "Drive to Mode 5" marketing campaign. Rebuilding our sales backlog is critical, and we expect to see this sales momentum continue in calendar year 2018 as we approach the January 1, 2020 mandate for Mode 5 inter-operability with our foreign allies.

We hope to see all of our shareholders at our Annual Meeting scheduled for January 17, 2018 at our East Rutherford offices.
