First Quarter 2022 Financial Summary

Revenues were $272,000 for the first quarter of 2022, up 164% compared with $103,000 for the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased orders from the Company’s largest customer as well as the addition of selling to veteran affairs facilities, which was limited to available finished goods.

Gross profit was $106,000, or 39.0% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $77,000, or 74.8% of revenue, in the 2021 period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by sales to veteran affairs facilities and sales of products to distributors at higher margins.

Total operating expenses were $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $1.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in selling and marketing expense due to decreased salaries and a decrease in options expense.

Net loss was $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared with a net loss of $4.9 million for the previous quarter. The three-month period ended March 31, 2021 included a non-cash loss of $1.9 million related to a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a non-cash loss of $1.6 million of warrant modification expense related to warrants held by a certain investor that were repriced.
