CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA (November 15, 2011) Leatt Corporation (OTC: LEAT.PK), a global marketer and distributor of the Leatt-Brace^®, a neck brace system designed to help prevent potentially devastating injuries to the cervical spine (neck) for helmeted sports, announced today unaudited financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011, ("Q3 FY2011").

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 gross revenues were $3.6 million, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease is primarily a result of a change in the Company’s customer order and fulfillment cycle. Cost of revenues and gross profit for Q3 FY2011 were $1.5 million and $2.1 million, or 58% of sales, respectively. For the same period in 2010, cost of revenues and gross profit were $1.6 million and $2.45 million, or 61% of sales, respectively.

"We are making progress in returning to sustained profitability, after a period of problems concurrent with a worldwide economic downturn," said CEO Sean Macdonald. "Looking to the future, we are optimistic about the potential for growth and we have some exciting new products in development, and plan to introduce them through the channels currently active with the Leatt Neck Brace. Extreme athletes and their fans trust us, and we intend to continue to earn that trust – and to pursue an expansion of the use of our braces to larger groups of children, teenagers, and adults who are daily exposed to a variety of falls and spills that could end badly without the appropriate safety equipment. Leatt is internationally known and respected for our Neck Brace – and now our Chest Protector is moving into the distribution channel. Additional protection products are planned to follow in 2012. "Meanwhile," Mr. Macdonald added, "we are expanding our distribution network, and working hard to make quality assurance the heart and soul of our manufacturing process. We are shortening lead times, and improving our supply chain to get products from the factory to the end user in ever-faster time frames. Our customers trust us to protect them, and we take that trust seriously."

Strategic Plan for Enhancing Shareholder Liquidity.

The Company will announce it’s plan to enhance shareholder liquidity at the upcoming annual shareholder meeting. Notice of the date and time of the annual shareholder meeting will be posted on the Company web site this month. Mr. Macdonald said: "We know that our shareholders wish us well, but we also know that the shareholders want to see progress in improving the liquidity of the public market for our Common Stock. We are dedicated to achieving this goal as well as sustained profitability and growth. While I am sure the shareholders appreciate the impact of the economic recession on our efforts and progress and the need to post solid financial results on a quarter-to-quarter basis in order to improve the market for our Common Stock, I want the shareholders to know that we are focused on addressing the need for a more liquid market as well."

Nine Month Period.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $11.5 million, an increase of 17% compared to revenues of $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of revenues and gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $4.5 million and $7.0 million or 61% of sales respectively. For the same period in 2010, cost of revenues and gross profit were $3.8 million and $6.0 million or 61% of sales respectively. The increase in revenues is primarily the effect of increased worldwide selling activities as a result of new product releases, focused marketing campaigns and improved supply chain throughput.
The Company continues to develop new products in order to widen its product range and markets and has appointed additional distributors worldwide in order to further improve its global distribution network. Numerous well-known athletes use our braces, and support us in our growth – and we sponsor some athletes ourselves.
