President’s Message:

I am pleased to report that Bolt delivered strong financial results for its shareholders in fiscal year 2012. These financial results were primarily driven by the full fiscal year 2012 contribution of our SeaBotix underwater robotics business, which we acquired in January 2011.

Our consolidated sales increased 35% to $52,610,000 compared to $38,858,000 for fiscal
year 2011. Our operating earnings, exclusive of a $4,500,000 special charge, increased 18% to $9,377,000 compared to $7,975,000 for fiscal year 2011. Based on the strong improvement in SeaBotix revenues in fiscal year 2012, we took the special charge at June 30, 2012 to reflect additional estimated contingent earnout payments related to the SeaBotix acquisition.

Our net income for the 2012 fiscal year was $1,982,000 ($0.23 per share) compared to $5,527,000 ($0.65 per share) in the prior fiscal year. Excluding the special charge for contingent earnout payments, our net income would have been $6,482,000 ($0.75 per share).

Our balance sheet remained strong at June 30, 2012 with cash and working capital of $24,613,000 and $45,303,000, respectively.

In fiscal 2012, we delivered value to our shareholders by payment of a special dividend of $1.00 per share. We also instituted a quarterly dividend program in January 2012. We have declared three quarterly dividends under this program; the first two quarterly dividends at $0.05 per share and the third dividend, declared in August 2012, at $0.07 per share. In addition, we repurchased $966,000 of our shares under our stock repurchase program in fiscal year 2012.

We increased substantially our investment in research and development during the 2012
fiscal year. A major project currently underway is a joint effort with WesternGeco, a unit of
Schlumberger Ltd., to develop an environmentally sensitive energy source for marine seismic exploration. In addition, we expect to begin marketing our Smart Energy Source Controller, a digital energy source controller developed by our Real Time Systems operating unit, in fiscal year 2013.

In November 2011, Michael C. Hedger, President of our A-G Geophysical Products subsidiary, was elected President and Chief Operating Officer of Bolt Technology Corporation. Michael will assist me in overseeing the operations of all of our operating units, as well as continuing his responsibilities at A-G.

Our outlook for fiscal 2013 is for another successful year for Bolt. The major factors influencing our outlook are the current price of oil, the level of customer inquiries and the growth of the SeaBotix underwater robotics business in fiscal year 2012.

In closing, I would like to thank all of our employees. Bolt has many strengths, but none more important than our employees and their contributions to our company. Their dedication and hard work is a key component of our continuing to be successful in the future.
