American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), the source of the Long Range Acoustic Device(TM) (LRAD�) product line, announced today that it expects to report record fiscal Q3 revenues and to surpass total fiscal 2008 revenues in the first nine months of fiscal 2009. For fiscal Q3 2009, the Company expects to report revenues of over $4.0 million, surpassing fiscal Q3 2008 revenues of $2.7 million. For the first nine months of fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009, the Company expects to report record revenues of over $12.4 million, exceeding the $11.2 million in total revenues reported in fiscal year 2008.

"We followed our record quarterly revenues in fiscal Q2 with a strong fiscal Q3 anchored by LRAD sales to military and commercial maritime customers," remarked Tom Brown, president and CEO of American Technology. "In addition to LRAD deliveries, we shipped LRAD accessories to the U.S. Navy and launched and received the first order for our new LRAD 300X(TM) from the U.S. Army. Further 300X orders are expected this year."

"Having already exceeded fiscal 2008 revenues, we are focused on a strong finish to fiscal 2009 and building our business through increasing year over year LRAD sales and revenue growth," Brown added. "As we work to make LRAD a global standard, we are very encouraged with the developing markets and increasing acceptance of our proprietary product line and look forward to announcing more LRAD orders and business developments."
