Commenting on corporate performance, Carl H. Guild, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCC, said, “During the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2020, we did not achieve our desired financial performance. Several international opportunities have made significant progress but have not yet closed due to delays in the procurement process. We expect the procurement process for these orders will be completed over the next three to six months.”He continued, “Offering high-end custom cryptographic services and solutions is an established market niche for the Company and we believe an important competitive differentiator. In fiscal 2020, the company expects that custom TCC equipment and services will continue to provide recurring revenue opportunities within its established government systems product line; such equipment sales have historically consisted primarily of our DSP 9000/HSE 6000 radio encryption and digital encryption CX7211 products, along with custom solution engineering services.”About Technical Communications CorporationFor over 50 years, TCC has specialized in superior-grade secure communications systems and customized solutions, supporting our CipherONE® best-in-class criteria, to protect highly sensitive voice, data and video transmitted over a wide range of networks.
