Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights: 

  • Revenue of $3.9 million, reflecting a 21% increase compared to $3.2 million for the prior year's quarter, and a 24% sequential decrease compared to $5.1 million for the preceding quarter.

  • Gross margin of 49% versus 44.2% in the prior year's quarter and 50.9% in the preceding quarter.

  • Operating expenses were $2.9 million, reflecting a 4% increase compared to the prior year's period and a decrease of 6% compared to $3.1 million in the preceding quarter.

  • Operating loss amounted to $1.0 million, a decrease of 26% from a loss of $1.4 million in the prior year's quarter, and an increase of 93% from a loss of $0.5 million in the preceding quarter.

  • Cash balance on September 30, 2024 was approximately $2.9 million compared to $2.8 million at the end of 2023 and $2.1 million at the end of the previous quarter. A convertible note financing of $1.0 million was completed in August 2024.

"Our Q3 revenue was lower than projected. We also experienced slower, albeit positive evaluation of our new products, which delayed the associated revenue," said Kevin Mills, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

"To support our expansion into the industrial market, we completed a $1.0 million convertible note financing in August. We continue to serve existing customers while actively promoting our new products. In September, we announced that our CaptureSDK and entire line of barcode scanners and NFC reader/writers have been tested and are fully compatible with iOS 18. Our ultra-rugged XtremeScan family, specifically designed for demanding environments like plant operations, warehousing, and manufacturing, is now compatible with iPhone 16," continued Mr. Mills.

"We look forward to your participation in the upcoming conference call, where we will discuss the company's progress with its new products and market expansion." concluded Mr. Mills.
