MOONACHIE, NJ--(Marketwire - July 14, 2010) - Emerson Radio Corp. (NYSE Amex: [ MSN ]) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2010.

Net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 increased $8.4 million, or 19.5%, to $51.5 million as compared to net revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 of $43.2 million, and net revenues for fiscal year 2010 increased $6.4 million, or 3.2%, to $207.0 million as compared to net revenues of $200.6 million during fiscal 2009. The increase in net revenues for both the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year and the fiscal year 2010 versus fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to increased sales of microwave ovens, partially offset by decreased sales of audio and themed products

Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.3 million compared to an operating loss of $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 an improvement of $7.2 million. Operating income for fiscal year 2010 was $13.8 million compared to an operating loss of $4.4 million for fiscal 2009, an improvement of $18.2 million. The increase in the fourth quarter year-over-year operating income was primarily due to the higher net revenues, partially offset by higher costs. The increase in the fiscal year 2010 year-over-year operating income was primarily due to lower costs coupled with the higher net revenues.

Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.6 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, an improvement of $5.8 million or $0.21 per diluted share. Net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 was $11.4 million or $0.42 per diluted share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2009, an improvement of $15.6 million, or $0.58 per diluted share.
