Revenue in the third quarter of 2020 decreased approximately 28% to $1.5 million from $2.1 million in the same year-ago period, primarily due to lower demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross margin increased to 52.4% from 50.1% due to product mix and operational efficiencies.
Income (loss) from operations was a loss of ($79) thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared with income of $203 thousand in the same period in 2019. Operating income (loss) was impacted by lower gross profit and nearly flat operating expenses.
In the third quarter of 2020, after-tax net income was $65 thousand or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to after-tax net income of $111 thousand or $0.02 per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
The company ended the period with $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.
"We continue to position our business for future growth by increasing our investment in sales & marketing and recruiting senior technical resources in conjunction with the build-out of our R&D center in our existing Camarillo footprint.
