WHEAT RIDGE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK:LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.387 million in the second quarter of 2024, resulting in a quarterly net loss of $(298) thousand, or $(0.12) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.280 million and quarterly net income of $55 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2023. Revenue for the quarter increased 5% versus the second quarter last year. Six-month net revenues of $4.541 million and a net loss of $(582) thousand, or $(0.24) per diluted share, compared to net revenue of $4.445 million and a net profit of $1 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the same six months of 2023. Total gross margin in the second quarter declined to 41.6% versus 45.7% for the same quarter last year. For the first six months of 2024 gross margin was 40.3% versus 44.5% for the same period last year, with the decline due primarily to increases in costs resulting from inflation. The research and development investment of $662 thousand rose by 67% versus the second quarter last year, primarily for SpinDx development, contributing significantly to the current period loss.
We believe our core alcohol detection product line-up is strong. The L-series LX9 and LT7 units have features and performance that have driven market penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as wider temperature ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages. Additionally, LX9 units capable of smart phone pairing began to ship in this quarter.
"We are excited to be able to offer and ship LX9 units with smart phone pairing to achieve better systems integration, which some customers have been seeking commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. "This demonstrates again our commitment to innovation."
We expect that sales of our newer L-series devices will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than displacing FC sales. The L-series devices have been certified to meet the requirements of most modern registration standards, such as SAI's (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors. Our FC-series devices remain popular with many law enforcement and international organizations. Our Easycal® automated calibration station, the only automated calibration available for portable breath alcohol testers, builds valuable protection around our brand and contributes to market share gains by the workplace Phoenix® 6.0 BT and EV 30 devices.
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 therefore focusing our research and development efforts on leveraging the SpinDx technology platform, sometimes referred to as "Lab on a Disk," to develop a series of devices and tests that can be used at roadside and in emergency rooms, forensic labs and workplace test sites to achieve a rapid and quantitative measure for a panel of drugs of abuse. The initial product release is projected to be a device with a disk that allows for detection of delta-9-THC (the major intoxicating component of the cannabis plant) from a test subject's saliva, followed by a disk for a panel of other drugs. SpinDx has been demonstrated in our laboratory to effectively detect for delta-9-THC, cocaine, fentanyl, amphetamine methamphetamine, morphine, MDMA, and benzodiazepines. Testing has validated the SpinDx measurement technology against the definitive standard liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) measurement utilizing human samples. The LCMS data have validated the SpinDx test results on real-world human saliva tests at a limit of detection of approximately 10 ng/ml. With our research and development work, we continue to improve our technology's robustness, speed, and convenience of operation. We plan to start of beta testing of our SpinDx saliva testing system utilizing the delta-9-THC disks later in 2024 using prototype readers as shown in the photograph below. Commercial launch of our first SpinDx application is projected to occur in 2025. Following initial commercialization, we expect more offerings from this technology platform to include expanded drug panels and samples collected from blood and breath. Following the release of our SpinDx saliva testing system, we expect to accelerate development of combining our LX9 breathalyzer with the THC SpinDx detection unit, to produce our roadside marijuana breathalyzer system.
"Our top priority is pushing the SpinDx product platform across the finish line," Dr. Willkomm said. "We anticipate continued high research and development expenses in this final push toward commercialization. With the rising demand for saliva drug testing, the initial release of SpinDx to the market becomes more urgent and valuable."
Research and development expenditures for SpinDx completion have consumed cash down to $505 thousand at the end of the second quarter. In anticipation of declining cash, the company has sought to strengthen its financial resources. Early in the third quarter the Company closed on a $750,000 line of credit with Citywide Banks as well as a private placement of 210,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $3.80 per share, resulting in a $798,000 capital injection to assist the SpinDx development in moving forward to testing and commercialization.
