<b>LightPath Technologies Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter Results </b>
<p>Strong Bookings Results in 9% Backlog Increase to $3.9M; Fourth Quarter Conference Call Scheduled for September 8th at 4:00 PM EDT</p>
<p>ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire - August    16, 2011) -   LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) (the "Company," "LightPath" or "we"), a global manufacturer, distributor and integrator of patented optical components and assemblies, announced today its preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011.
</p>
<p>
The Company reported preliminary revenue of $2.78 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 1%, as compared to $2.81 million for the same period last year and an increase of 14% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Full year revenue for fiscal 2011 grew 8% to $10 million as compared to $9.2 million for fiscal year 2010.
</p>
<p>
Cash on hand as of June 30, 2011 was $0.93 million as compared to $1.46 million on June 30, 2010 and $0.95 million on March 31, 2011. Backlog scheduled to ship within the next 12 months was $3.9 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $1 million as compared to backlog on June 30, 2010 and a $240,000 increase as compared to March 31, 2011.
</p>
<p>
Jim Gaynor, President and CEO of LightPath, stated, "LightPath continues to make steady progress, growing our business even though the economy remains weak and the markets uncertain. Our production continues to ramp up output producing a record of over 549,000 lenses during the fourth quarter and our unit volume for the full year was up 47%. We continue to increase share in the industrial tool and instrumentation markets. Our catalog and distribution channels also saw good growth. The disclosure backlog continues to grow, increasing 9% quarter over quarter and up $1 million from June of last year. This growth is in part due to larger orders being booked for delivery over a longer time horizon giving us better visibility going forward. We also had strong bookings in the fourth quarter with orders of over $3.3 million."
</p>
<p>
Gaynor continued, "Our revenue growth has been moderate even with this excellent unit volume growth due to competitive pricing pressure, product mix changes and the global macro economic uncertainties. We will remain vigilant to these competitive and economic pressures and continue to closely manage our costs and focus on cost reduction and productivity improvements. As we look forward and enter into our seasonally weakest time of year we believe we have positioned the company for continued growth in our chosen markets and are excited by the opportunities available to us."
</p>
