Lifeloc Reports 2nd Quarter 2022 Results.

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo: Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.180 million in the second quarter of 2022, resulting in a quarterly net loss of $(202) thousand, or $(0.08) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $1.730 million and quarterly net loss of $(110) thousand, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021. Revenue for the quarter increased 26% versus the second quarter last year, as demand continued to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the government ordered shutdowns. Six-month net revenue of $4.341 million and a net loss of $(346) thousand, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compare to net revenue of $3.539 million and a net profit of $294 thousand, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the same six months of 2021. The income for the first six months of 2021 includes the benefit from the forgiveness of the first round SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan of $465 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 quarter in response to rising costs.

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...
