A Note on Our Revenue Reporting
Beginning with our second quarter 2023 earnings release, we implemented a major restructuring of our industrial product lines, transitioning much of this business from gross sales to a commission structure. While this change affects how we report revenue, we believe it enables us to preserve working capital and improve gross margins.

Gross margin percentage increased 48.4% to 75%.
Total operating expenses were $3.6 million, a decrease of 64% compared to $10.0 million in the prior year period.
Operating loss improved by approximately $6.3 million to $538,000 compared to an operating loss of approximately $6.9 million in the prior year period.
Net loss was $3.8 million, which included a $3.2 million one-time non-cash charge for interest expense in connection with various merchant cash advances, compared to a net loss of $10.1 million in the prior year period.
Select Third Quarter 2024 Highlights Compared to Second Quarter 2024
Total revenue of approximately $4.0 million, an increase of 53.8%
Gross margin percentage increased to 75.0% from 38.1%
Total operating expenses decreased 20.0%
Loss from operations improved to $538,000 vs $3.5 million
