“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong performance. The results underscore our team's commitment to driving sales revenue while reducing expenses on our path to profitability, and our ability to capitalize on the increasing demand for our innovative radiation detection solutions. We drastically increased our gross margins by 44.15% by streamlining our production and manufacturing efficiency and by selling our specialized products to buyers willing to pay for our premium product quality and functionality. We expect this trend to continue and a ramp-up in sales revenue will translate into profitable operating income. The launch of several unique new chemical detectors for detecting drugs (fentanyl), explosives, chemical warfare agents and even PFAS “forever chemicals” will be a sales catalyst moving forward, in addition to increased demand for our tritium monitoring instrumentation which is direly needed as fusion power research and operation ramps up.”
