APA ENTERPRISES, INC. REPORTS RECORD REVENUES,
DECREASED LOSSES FOR 2007 FISCAL YEAR


MINNEAPOLIS, MN, June 22, 2007 -- APA Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: APAT) today reported that consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased 16% to $18,560,178 from $15,956,203 reported for fiscal year 2006. The change was due to higher revenues at APA’s wholly owned subsidiary, APA Cables & Networks, Inc. (APACN).

APA reported a net loss of $2,147,310, or $.18 cents per share, for the year ended March 31, 2007 representing a decrease of 36% from the net loss of $3,348,848, or $.28 cents per share in fiscal year 2006. The decreased losses were the result of the Company’s decision to reduce its investment in development and marketing within the Optronics business segment.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, revenues were $3,994,397, an increase of $183,019 from $3,811,378 posted in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. The increase is due mainly to increased revenues at APACN. The net loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased $1,087,063 to $1,205,491, or $.10 cents per share compared to a loss of $118,428, or $.01 cents per share, reported for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Income realized from the sale of Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (“MOCVD”) operations decreased the losses during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.

The overall cash used during fiscal year 2007 was $2,184,408, an increase of 17% as compared to $1,865,715 during fiscal year 2006. The Company finished the year with $6,763,369 in cash. Cash decreased during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 by $250,648 as compared to an increase of $1,019,018 during the comparable period of fiscal year 2006. Cash generated from the sale of MOCVD operations during fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 minimized cash consumption during that period.

 
APACN
 
 
Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $18,363,836, an increase of $2,484,527, or 16% from fiscal 2006. Net loss was $804,472 for fiscal 2007 versus $588,459 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The increased losses over the prior year is due mainly to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $852,000 ($519,717 after tax benefit) recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007 in conjunction with our annual impairment test.
 
Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $3,896,057, compared to revenues of $3,787,063 reported in the same quarter a year ago, an increase of 3%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increased acceptance of the Company’s products within the Fiber-to-the-Home (“FTTH”) market as a result of the Company’s continuing investment in sales, marketing and engineering. APACN reported a net loss of $857,335 for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $270,912 in the comparable period last year.

“We are pleased that while revenue for fiscal year 2007 grew 16%, gross profit within that same period at APACN grew more than 25%,” commented Cheri Beranek Podzimek, president of APACN. “Key to our future success will be our continued investment in the infrastructure, people, products and programs that will help us build a firm foundation upon which to scale our business operations in the growing FTTH marketplace.”
 
 
Optronics
 
Gross revenues (before intercompany eliminations) for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $196,342, a decrease of $203,226, or 51%, compared to the $399,568 in fiscal year 2006. Revenues for fiscal year 2006 reflect $322,674 of sales to APACN for fiber optics products and subcontracted labor. In fiscal year 2007, Optronics did not provide fiber optics or subcontract labor to APACN. These revenues are eliminated as inter-company sales in the consolidated financial statements, and represent the primary difference from last year’s revenues. The net loss for year ended March 31, 2007 was $1,342,838 versus a loss of $2,760,389 in fiscal year 2006.
 
Gross revenues (before intercompany eliminations) for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $99,653, versus $63,148 reported in the same quarter in 2006. Revenues for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2006 reflect $38,833 of sales to APACN for fiber optics products and subcontracted labor. The lack of these inter-company sales, offset by revenues generated by our India facility in the current year represent the primary difference from last year’s revenues. Net loss was $348,156 for the fourth quarter versus a net income of $152,484 posted for the same quarter of 2006. The change from the prior year is due mainly to the sale of the MOCVD operations.
 
“To date, the Optronics business unit has seen limited success in generating revenue,” Anil K. Jain, APA’s president and chief executive officer, commented. "As a result, the Company has chosen to focus mainly on APACN related business activities and is evaluating options associated with the of Optronics business. These options include the possible sale of Gallium Nitride related operations, sale or lease of the Aberdeen facility and sale of our APA India business.”
