CSP INC. ANNOUNCES A DELAY IN FILING ITS FORM 10-K ANNUAL REPORT

Company Expects to File during the Week of January 17, 2005

BILLERICA, MA, January 14, 2005 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ:CSPI), a provider of IT Solutions, systems integration services and dense cluster computing systems, announced today that it had been unable to complete and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 on the extended due date, January 13, 2005. The Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing and announced fiscal year-end results on December 28, 2004. Company personnel have been working diligently to complete the financial statements and Form 10-K, but the Company has not been able to conclude its work by the extended due date. All remaining issues are expected to be resolved, and audit reports issued by our independent auditors, during the week of January 17, 2005. The Company currently does not expect this work to result in any materially adverse change from the year-end results we announced in late December 2004.

Safe Harbor

The Company wishes to take advantage of the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to statements that may be deemed to be forward-looking under the Act. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, those relating to the Company's work with Lockheed Martin to develop a ruggedized version of the 2942 blades, its ability to capitalize on Multicomputer opportunities, the Company's plan to deliver architecturally superior multicomputers that lead the market in price-performance, its plans to launch follow-on products to the Series 2000 MultiComputers as well as other products, and its ability to take market share and to grow its sales staff at the Systems and Solutions Division. The Company cautions that numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by the Company. Such risks include general economic conditions, market factors, competitive factors and pricing pressures, and others described in the Company's filings with the SEC. Please refer to the section on forward- looking statements included in the Company's filings with the SEC.
