($0.49) per share for the comparable period in 2014, which included a

for Q2 2015, compared to a loss of ($0.5) million, or ($0.21) per share,
for the comparable period in 2014.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015, were
approximately $10.9 million, a decrease of 9.2% compared to revenues of
$12.0 million for the comparable period in 2014. The Company reported a
net loss of (0.4) million, or ($0.14) per share for the six months ended

($0.54) per share, for the comparable period in 2014.
Gross margin for Q2 2015 was 32.7%, which was an increase of 9.4
percentage points from 23.3% for the comparable period in 2014 which
included an increase in accrued warranty expense of $344,000 related to
two isolated product defects. Excluding the increase in accrued warranty
expense, the quarter over quarter improvement in gross margin was
primarily due to a favorable product mix and continued margin
improvement initiatives. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30,
2015 was 33.0% compared to 24.7% for the comparable period in 2014.
The Company’s Executive Chairman and CEO, Michael Ferrantino, Sr., said,
“While we have much to be pleased about with the reduction in losses,
positive EBITDA and increase in cash, we are not content. The work ahead
of us continues. We have begun to shift our focus from rationalizing
operations and our cost structure towards growing the top line. More
time is being spent to understand our markets and develop value added
products, which are, and will continue to become, a larger portion of
our backlog. As we move away from low margin commodity products to more
complex assemblies, which tend to have a longer build cycle and higher
margins, we expect some short-term variability in the quantity of
shipments. Once this transition is complete and we load our factories in
an optimal way, we will see more consistency and predictability in our
shipments.”
Positive Cash Flows from Operations; Solid Capital Position
Operating cash flows were positive for Q2 2015, with net cash provided
by operating activities of $302,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015,
compared to net cash used in operations of ($36,000) for the quarter
ended June 30, 2014.
Total cash and cash equivalents was $5.4 million, or $2.04 per share, at
June 30, 2015, compared to $5.2 million, or $1.99 per share, at December
31, 2014. Adjusted working capital (accounts receivable, net, plus
inventory, net, less accounts payable) was down slightly to $5.6 million
as of June 30, 2015, compared to $5.7 million as of December 31, 2014,
which reflects the continuing effort to manage working capital levels to
operating activity.
The Company’s Chairman of the Board, Marc Gabelli, stated, “While
management continues to move the Company towards sustainable growth, we
are pleased to see the positive results from the many initiatives
implemented by management over the last year. With a strong and
unlevered balance sheet, including $5.4 million in cash, a revolving
credit facility, and positive operating cash flow, the Company is
positioned to invest in the right opportunities both internally and
externally.”

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement our consolidated condensed financial statements presented
on a GAAP basis, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, including
Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net income (loss) adjusted to
exclude depreciation and amortization expense, interest income
(expenses), provision (benefit) for income taxes and stock-based
compensation expense. We believe such non-GAAP measures are appropriate
to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance
and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our GAAP
results are made with the intent of providing both management and
investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational
results and trends and our marketplace performance. The presentation of
this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States.
