Aug. 16, 2010

VANCOUVER , Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Avcorp (AVP on the Toronto Stock Exchange) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 .

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 , the Company recorded a loss from operations of $1,991,000 on $18,710,000 revenue, as compared to $552,000 income from operations on $16,172,000 revenue for the same quarter of the preceding year; and a net loss for the current quarter of $2,297,000 as compared to a net income of $65,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 .

The Company has realized the expected revenue growth in 2010 from full rate production of the Boeing Defense Space & Security CH47 helicopter and the Cessna Citation CJ4 business jet; both programs were in start-up phase for the Company in 2009. Additionally, the Company will experience moderate revenue growth during the second half of 2010 as a result of program re-starts and production rate increases. The previously announced signing of an agreement with BAE Systems Operations Ltd. for the production of the F35 CV-OBW will further increase revenues in 2011.
