DATA I/O ANNOUNCES 4% REVENUE GROWTH,

Sales up 13% for Second Quarter,

Net Income of $398,000 for Second Quarter

Redmond, WA, July 21, 2011 – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced programming and IP management solutions used in the manufacturing of flash and flash-based intelligent devices, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Highlights

· Second quarter 2011 order bookings increased 11 percent to $7.3 million from $6.5 million in the same period last year and increased 19 percent sequentially from $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2011

· Asian revenues grew 50 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010

· Second quarter 2011 net income was $398,000, or $0.04 per diluted share

· $3 million acquisition of software technology was completed during the quarter

· Cash was $17 million at the end of the second quarter

Financial Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $6.8 million, up 4 percent compared with $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, but down sequentially from $7 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $398,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $859,000 or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in net income is attributed primarily to higher development expenses associated with new products to be released next month and later this year.

On a regional basis, Asia had strong growth this period, with revenue growth of 50 percent over the second quarter of 2010, and 10 percent growth sequentially over the first quarter of 2011. Europe revenue declined of 3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010 and declined 23 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011. The Americas revenue declined 26 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010, particularly due to decreased sales in Mexico and less custom software sales, but revenue increased 24% over the first quarter of 2011. Data I/O ended the quarter with a backlog of $1.4 million, compared to $1.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010 and $0.9 million at March 31, 2011.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 2011 was 58.5 percent, compared with 58.4 percent in the second quarter of 2010 and 59.1 percent in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the product mix, increased service labor related costs and engineering contract software costs offset in part by less unfavorable factory variances.

Operating expenses increased by $654,000 in the second quarter of 2011 to $3.5 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period in 2010, but were flat compared to the first quarter of 2011. The $315,000 increase in Research and Development “R&D” expense compared to the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the use of outside resources to accelerate our growth initiatives and $94,000 less costs transferred to operations on software contracts. Included in second quarter 2011 R&D cost was two month’s amortization of the software technology acquisition of $75,000 and a credit for capitalized acquisition costs of $83,000. R&D was down $77, 000 from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to fewer materials used. Sales, General and Administrative “SG&A” expense increased to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $1.9 million in the same period in 2010 due to increased use of outside professional consultants, higher compensation and travel costs, off set by $169,000 of lower incentive compensation. SG&A was flat compare to the first quarter of 2011 with increased software acquisition related personnel increasing marketing costs and higher sales travel and compensation

The Company’s cash position at June 30, 2011 was $17.0 million, down $2 million due to cash used in the software technology acquisition on April 29, 2011. Accounts receivable decreased to $5.3 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $5.5 million at March 31, 2011. Inventories increased to $3.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $3.5 million at March 31, 2011 due to materials for new product initiatives and in response to certain supplier’s longer lead times. Deferred revenue was $1.4 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $1.6 million at March 31, 2010.

“Our first new product incorporating software from our software initiative is ready to launch on August 1,” said Fred Hume, President and CEO. “We are excited by our new product initiatives, and as such, we have continued to use temporary resources, as well as four new team members related to our recent software technology purchase, to accelerate their development and reduce the time to market.
