PALMETTO, Fla., March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teltronics, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TELT) today announces its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues for 2009 were $43.1 million as compared to $34.6 million reported in 2008. The Company reported net income of $5.4 million in 2009 compared to a net loss of $3.3 million in 2008.
As a result of the net gains in 2009, the net income available to common shareholders for 2009 increased by 200% to $4.4 million from a $4.4 loss in 2008 and the Company's diluted net income per share for 2009 was $0.48 as compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.51 for 2008.

"The Company is pleased with our year end results," announces Ewen Cameron, Teltronics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "In 2009, we increased our operating profit by 109% to $6.9 million from a loss of $3.3 million in 2008. We attribute our 2009 accomplishments to our strong relationships with our current customers, combined with the budget cut initiative we implemented in 2008 and our strong team of employees."
Cameron states, "In 2009, we developed new relationships with approximately 50 U.S. strategic partners who have knowledge in the education market. In 2010, we anticipate these partners will promote our bundled communication solution, 'Cerato for Schools'. With the stimulus & E-rate funding now available for technology in the education sector, we believe that we should see some success with this application through these partners."
"Cameron continues, "We should continue to see sales from our current U.S. customers and our international installed base. Our goals for 2010 include building upon our current international distribution channel, expanding our U.S. strategic partner relationships, and growing our current product offerings to reach new vertical industries."
"Also in 2009, we moved into a more cost effective state-of-the-art facility. The new building allows us to showcase our business to worldwide clients, partners and potential business associates thus providing us an additional tool to further increase sales & revenue," Cameron states.
Cameron concludes, "Due to the buying trends of our customers, we do experience some seasonality in our business with the fourth and first quarters being our weakest. We are working to expand our customer base to reduce this affect."
