<P >
	On November 18, 2010, the Compensation Committee (the &#034;Committee&#034;) of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash bonus program for fiscal year 2011 (the &#034;2011 Bonus Program&#034;).

	MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearfield, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLFD), the specialist in fiber management and connectivity platforms for communications providers, today announced results for its fiscal year and fourth quarter ended September 30, 2011.</p><p>
	<strong>Year -End Performance</strong></p><p>
	Revenue for fiscal year 2011 was $35,193,000 in comparison to $24,367,000 for fiscal year 2010, an increase of 44%. Gross profit was $14,658,000 for fiscal year 2011, in comparison to $9,138,000 for fiscal year 2010, an increase of 60%. Gross margin for fiscal year 2011 was 41.7%, up from 37.5% in fiscal year 2010. Operating expenses were $10,942,000 for fiscal year 2011, an increase of 36% from fiscal year 2010. Operating income was $3,716,000 up 231% from fiscal year 2010 in which $1,123,000 was recorded. Net income was $6,167,000 for fiscal year 2011, compared to $1,181,000 in fiscal year 2010. The reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance associated with the Company's deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of net operating loss carry forwards, added approximately $2,482,000 in non-cash income tax benefit to net income for the fiscal year 2011.</p><p>
	<strong>4<sup>th</sup> Quarter Performance</strong></p><p>
	Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $10,702,000 in comparison to $7,921,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 35%. Gross profit was $4,480,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 in comparison to $3,099,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 44%. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 41.9%, up from 39.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Operating expenses were $3,082,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, an increase of 36% from $2,267,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Operating income increased $565,000, or 68%, to $1,397,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to $832,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.</p><p>
	<strong>Reversal of Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance</strong></p><p>
	During fiscal year 2011, Clearfield reversed a portion of its valuation allowance of its deferred tax assets related to future periods in the amount of $2,482,000, which contributed 19 cents per diluted share. The reduction in the valuation allowance resulted in the recognition of a non-cash income tax benefit that was $2,432,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. The reversal of the valuation allowance followed an evaluation of our historical net operating losses and our more recent history of consecutive quarters of profitability. The amount of the valuation allowance reversal was based on management's estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction.</p><p>
	<strong>Orders in Backlog/ Select Balance Sheet Highlights</strong></p><p>
	Orders in backlog as of September 30, 2011 totaled $3,814,000, an increase of 42% or $1,137,000 over the backlog for the year ending September 30, 2010. Cash and investments at September 30, 2011 totaled $15,837,000 compared to $10,287,000 for the year ending September 30, 2010, an increase of $5,550,000.</p><p>
	<strong><i>Commentary- Cheryl Beranek, President &amp; CEO of Clearfield</i></strong></p><p>
	"Fiscal year 2011 has been a break-out year for Clearfield. Although the industry was plagued with macro-economic challenges, the Company aggressively grew revenues and converted an increasing amount into net income for the shareholders. Key to this success has been our mobile marketing initiatives in which we bring our product line directly to our customer sites. While we are in a technology business, maintaining a direct conduit to the engineering resources at our customer sites has been instrumental in delivering problem-solving technologies. In addition, the expansion of our sales channels with national distribution partners has extended our reach to an even wider audience for our fiber management and connectivity solutions.</p><p>
	Increases in revenues were experienced throughout our fiber product line. The Company has continued to introduce new product offerings that are being accepted by a wide range of customer market segments. Our increase in gross margin percentage was the result of enhancements in these higher margin product offerings, continual improvements in the manufacturing process, as well as scalability of our manufacturing processes.</p><p>
	As we reported last quarter, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's stimulus program for broadband funding is a strategic element of our business planning process. However, it is just one aspect of our market development programming. We have announced a number of stimulus award winners who are choosing Clearfield for their deployment projects. While revenues from this program were slow to materialize during this fiscal year, we anticipate that these projects will continue throughout fiscal year 2012 and into 2013.</p><p>
	While the availability of fiber has also impacted our industry, we have proactively worked with our supply partners and have taken the inventory positions necessary to enhance the availability of raw materials for our own manufacturing needs.&#160;Our customers have told us that our rapid turn-around-time and industry-leading lead-time is an effective tool for them in staging their deployment schedules.</p><p>
	&#160;Our controlled SG&amp;A investments are part of Clearfield's long-term growth initiatives within our traditional telco client base as well as expanding our market presence into broadband service providers in the cable television, municipal utility, enterprise and wireless markets.&#160;Finally, the Company continues to invest in productivity tools on our manufacturing floor to enhance our ability to scale our production processes.&#160;&#160;</p><p>
	Our record year has resulted in an even stronger balance sheet. We are pleased with the strength of our cash and investment position as well as our current inventory levels. We believe this position provides the flexibility to respond to current and future customer demand along with the capability to continue to invest in operations and equipment to maintain a competitive position."</p><p>
