Cohen Independent Research Group Issued a Research Report on LightPath Technologies

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - September 23, 2010) - LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) ("LightPath", "LPTH" or the "Company"), a global manufacturer, distributor and integrator of patented optical components and assemblies, announced today that Cohen Independent Research Group, Inc. ("Cohen") has issued a research report on the Company. The report can be obtained directly from Cohen through its website at www.cohenresearch.com

Cohen states in the report, "We believe LPTH is well positioned to benefit from the demand growth for optical components and the huge current market opportunity. We project revenues of approximately $9.3 million for fiscal year end June 30, 2010 and $36.2 million by 2015. Margins are likely to expand as the Company increases production from its plant in China. Based on an average of [the valuation methods used by Cohen] and provided our financial forecasts are met, LPTH common stock is valued at $5.58 per share, 64.1% higher than current market price of $3.40; an exciting short and long term investment opportunity." Cohen indicates in the report that the valuation is calculated using market based multiple valuation, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and by applying the Cohen Price Performance Index approach. The multiple-based valuation approach uses the expected 2011 Price to Earnings and Price to Capital Employed ratio; The Cohen Price Performance Index, which is representative of the past coverage performance of all stocks evaluated by Cohen; and lastly, the value derived using the long-term Cohen Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation approach.
