WHEAT RIDGE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK:LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.032 million in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a quarterly net loss of $(87) thousand, or $(0.04) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $1.887 million and quarterly net profit of $523 thousand, or $0.21 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021. The income for the third quarter of 2021 includes the benefit from the forgiveness of the second round SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of $471 thousand. Revenue for the quarter increased 8% versus the third quarter last year, as demand continued to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the government ordered shutdowns. Nine-month net revenue of $6.373 million and a net loss of $(433) thousand, or $(0.18) per diluted share, compared to net revenue of $5.427 million and a net profit of $816 thousand, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the same nine months of 2021. The income for the first nine months of 2021 includes the benefit from the forgiveness of both rounds of the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of $936 thousand.
Increasing research and development investment as well as supply chain disruption contributed to the net loss in this quarter despite increased revenue. Supply chain delays have added some costs, and component inflation has added more. The company implemented a broad price increase during the second quarter in response to rising costs.
New platform LX9 and LT7 devices are producing strong sales growth. The L-series devices feature a high-resolution color display with a highly customizable user interface. Their features and performance have driven penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as wider temperature ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages. Based on our experience to date, we expect that most L-series sales will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than displacing FC sales. The L-series devices are meeting the requirements of the most modern registration standards, such as SAI's (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors.
We believe our most important goal and best opportunity remains the convergence of the global need for rapid detection of drugs of abuse with Lifeloc's proven capability to build easy-to-use portable testing equipment. We are focusing our research and development efforts on leveraging the SpinDx™ technology platform, sometimes referred to as "Lab on a Disk," to develop a series of devices and tests that can be used at roadside, emergency rooms, forensic labs and in workplace testing to get a rapid and quantitative measure for a panel of drugs of abuse, beginning with a device that allows for detection of delta-9-THC (the major intoxicating component of the cannabis plant) from a test subject's saliva. Testing has commenced to validate the SpinDx technology against the definitive standard liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) measurement utilizing human samples. The human saliva SpinDx results are showing good correlation to the LCMS data. We are also developing a device based on our recently updated LX9 breathalyzer that, when coupled with the SpinDx technology, will be our marijuana breathalyzer system. In anticipation of possible SpinDx supply chain delays, we've already begun purchasing small quantities of components ahead of the initial production builds.
Our R.A.D.A.R.® 200 device has been introduced to the market, and the market feedback is that the device needs a few additional specific upgrades to gain widespread acceptance. The R.A.D.A.R. device promises to address a critical and valuable market need for self-administered alcohol monitoring. Lifeloc had formed a subsidiary, Probation Tracker Inc. (PTI), in preparation for a spinoff of the R.A.D.A.R. technology into a new entity devoted to engaging in the required additional developmental upgrades. Anticipating delays with the SEC on the registration of the PTI shares, we withdrew the registration, cancelled the planned spinoff and instead have engaged a consultant to outsource the remaining R.A.D.A.R. development. We have chosen this outsourcing route so that our internal research and development team can keep its primary focus on SpinDx commercialization.
"We have overcome a number of challenges over the last few years from pandemic and supply chain delays to labor tightness and inflation," commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. "We are well positioned for the future, with the new L-series devices opening new opportunities and resulting in a growing revenue contribution as well as the product pipeline built on the SpinDx product platform. We expect research and development expenses to remain high in this push to complete the first of many products on the SpinDx platform, but we are choosing to prioritize substantial value creation over short-term profitability. We are excited to see positive results from the human samples in the SpinDx testing and look forward to getting these products released."
