CUI Global, Inc. (OTCBB:CUGI), a platform company dedicated to the acquisition, development, and commercialization of new, innovative technologies, reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, CUI Global produced consolidated total revenues of $9,878,862 and $19,419,413, respectively. The six months consolidated total revenues represent an increase of 17.5% or more than $2,800,000 over the first half of 2010. The company maintained 38% gross margins over the first six months of 2011, as it continued to improve operational efficiencies.

The company reduced its consolidated net loss to $327,405 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from $2,187,393 in the same year-ago period. The first six months results demonstrate savings of more than $3,100,000, with $246,362 in consolidated net losses for the first half of 2011 compared to $3,356,395 in the same period of 2010.

William Clough, CUI Global’s president and CEO, commented: “We are especially encouraged by these results. The growth in revenue coupled with the dramatic reduction of losses demonstrates the effectiveness of continued product line expansion, technology developments, and our calculated decision to build out infrastructure and engineering support to spur present and future growth. These strategic improvements have allowed us to get into the design cycle much earlier and much more effectively.”

“It is also important to note these results do not reflect any significant impact from our latest technologies,” said Clough. “Our Solus™ Power Topology and the Vergence™ GasPT2 device are both scheduled for introduction into the marketplace later this year and into 2012.”

The company has achieved a number of significant milestones during the three months ended June 30, 2011, which include:

• Obtaining final safety approval for the Vergence GasPT2 inferential gas metering device;
• Deploying the Vergence GasPT2 production devices for initial field testing with SNAM RETE in Italy, GASUNIE in the Netherlands, and National Grid in the UK;
• Entering into a Statement of Cooperation with Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) under which CUI and Ericsson will develop and market multi-source, digital Point-of-Load (POL) power solutions; and,
• Preparing, filing, and distributing a Proxy Statement seeking authorization for the company to reverse its common shares in conjunction with an up-listing to a national exchange.

“These milestones and our year-over-year revenue growth and reduced losses again demonstrate the effectiveness of our new technology/licensing model,” continued Clough. “This progress, along with our recently announced plans to reverse our stock and up-list to a national exchange, are all part of our larger, long-term plans to expand our product offerings, focus on operational efficiencies, and continue to re-structure and/or retire corporate debt.”

“We are increasingly confident that the initiatives we have implemented will continue to produce positive results in revenue growth and profitability. We are squarely focused on increasing shareholder value,” Clough concluded.
