WELLAND, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 1, 2012) - CRS Electronics Inc. ("CRS" or the "Company"), (TSX VENTURE:LED), a developer and manufacturer of LED lighting, reports that it has released its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the related management's discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations ("MD&A").

Fiscal 2011 was a very challenging year for CRS. While the Company was very pleased to land its first national retail partner, various production issues led to a delayed launch which resulted in lower than budgeted revenues.

Despite these challenges, the Company continues to see significant opportunities for increased sales growth. For Fiscal 2012 the Company will be focusing on increasing revenues by adding additional retail partners and achieving Energy Star certification to support our commercial efforts. Additional work is being undertaken on reducing product costing which is also expected to support these initiatives.

Copies of the audited financial statements and related MD&A can be found on SEDAR at [ www.sedar.com ].
