</B></FONT>
<B><P><A NAME="_DV_M4"></A>SAN DIEGO, CA, October 3, 2007 - American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), </B>a leading innovator of directed sound products and technologies, announced today that it expects to report over $10 million in revenues for its fiscal year 2007 ended September 30, 2007. Powered by the Company's growing LRAD&reg; business, ATC expects to report that it surpassed fiscal year 2006 revenues of $8.9 million with further revenue growth expected in fiscal 2008. </P>
<P>&quot;We are experiencing improved financial results from the major initiatives we implemented a year ago,&quot; said Tom Brown, president and CEO of American Technology. &quot;Fiscal 2007 business growth came through enhanced product performance and working with an increasing number of established companies and organizations to integrate our directed sound solutions into their products and systems. This, coupled with the completed facility consolidation and management restructuring, reduced product costs and greater product margins, is expected to result in improved fiscal year-over-year performance.&quot;</P>
<P>&quot;LRAD sales continued to lead the way in our just concluded fiscal Q4,&quot; remarked Brown. &quot;We delivered our first LRAD orders to China along with further shipments to Singapore, Europe, Russia, Israel, Australia, the U.K. and to the U.S. military. With the U.S. Navy's recent selection of our enhanced LRAD 1000&reg; as its acoustic hailing and warning device (AHD) for large vessels, and the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army's selection in May of our enhanced LRAD 500&reg; as their AHD for small vessels and vehicles, we believe we are poised for significant LRAD revenue growth in fiscal 2008.&quot;</P>
<P>ATC also announced today that it has received an integrated LRAD-R&reg;/radar order from the Arizona National Guard. The Company expects to deliver the order this quarter.</P>
<P>Commenting on ATC's growing public and private security LRAD-R&reg; business, Brown said, &quot;LRAD-R was well received by the more than 23,000 security professionals from around the world that attended the 53<SUP>rd</SUP> Annual ASIS International tradeshow last week in Las Vegas. LRAD-R was the only product at ASIS that utilized sound to create an active defense system to locate, track, communicate with, and deter intruders. We expect new business to result from our meetings last week.&quot; </P>
<P>&quot;We also expect growing LRAD orders from the U.S. military and from international governments and militaries through both direct and integrated sales facilitated by defense and security-related firms,&quot; concluded Brown. &quot;We look forward to finalizing and issuing fiscal 2007 results later this quarter as well as announcing new orders and business developments.&quot;</P>
