PENNSAUKEN, NJ--(Marketwired - May 9, 2013) - Lattice Incorporated (OTCBB: [ LTTC ]) ("Lattice" or the "Company"), a provider of advanced information and communications technology solutions to the government and commercial markets, completed the sale of certain non-strategic Department of Defense assets for $1.2 million plus additional earn-out provisions based on contract renewals.

Lattice will record a one-time gain on the transaction of approximately $0.4 million and will see a working capital improvement of approximately $0.7 million. The transaction is expected to have a nominal effect on current operating income levels while reducing top-line revenues by approximately $2.5 million.

"The rapid growth of our communications segment has been masked by changing dynamics in our government services business," stated Paul Burgess, Chief Executive Officer of Lattice. "By divesting aspects of our legacy government business, our top line will more accurately reflect the ongoing strong performance of our high-growth communications segment. In addition, this transaction removes contract renewal risk associated with the current budgeting climate in Washington."
