Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,017,121 and $4,890,889, respectively, compared to $1,893,945 and $6,626,716 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, a decrease of $876,824, or 46% for the third quarter, and a decrease of $1,735,827, or 26% year-to date. The decreases were due principally to delays of follow-on contract awards and no ADEPT production in 2019.Costs of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $317,015 and $1,887,708 respectively, compared to $776,493 and $3,055,932 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, a decrease of $459,478, or 59% for the third quarter, and a decrease of $1,168,224, or 38% year-to date. The decreases were due primarily to a change in the mix of revenues. In 2019, revenues consisted entirely of engineering support services compared to a mix of engineering support and ADEPT production in 2018. Mikros reported net losses of $209,532 and $132,448 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to net income of $37,029 and $274,161 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to lower revenues.Recent highlights included:Completed installation of the Navy’s AN/SYM-3 Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) system on another Littoral Combat Ship platform in September, 2019.Awarded third delivery order under the multi-year ADEPT Distance Support Sensor Suite (ADSSS) IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity) contract in the amount of up to $15 million to install condition-based maintenance systems on the Littoral Combat Ship class.Awarded additional contract under the ADSSS IDIQ providing up to $6 million to develop a new variant of the AN/SYM-3 CBM system and install the new CBM system on two additional ship classes; the Aircraft Carriers (CVN class) and the “Big Deck” Amphibious Assault Ships (LHD/LHA class).Tom Meaney, Mikros Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Although this was a very challenging quarter, over the past 30 days we have secured up to $21 million of funding to develop and install our ADSSS system on multiple Navy ship classes. Fulfilling these orders will get us back on track in delivering the revenue and profit our shareholders have come to expect. We believe these new orders, coupled with our recent bid and proposal efforts, will more than offset lost revenue under the ADEPT program in 2020 and beyond. We remain focused on our mission to be a premium provider of CBM and prognostics solutions to the United States Navy and confident that we can grow both our core defense business and expand into commercial markets. During the third quarter we invested considerable engineering resources to drive further development and marketing of our Diagnostic Profiler® and Prognostics Framework® offerings to commercial customers. We continue to work with businesses across multiple industries to tailor applications to remotely monitor, predict failures and efficiently deploy resources to maintain complex mechanical systems. We look forward to keeping you informed on these exciting initiatives.” Additional information regarding the Company’s financial data may be found in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
