WHEAT RIDGE, Colo., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $1.810 million resulting in a quarterly net income of $403 thousand, or $0.16 per diluted share.  These results compare to net revenue of $2.018 million and quarterly net loss of $(165) thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2020.  Revenue for the quarter declined 10% versus the first quarter last year, primarily from the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the government ordered shutdowns.

As previously reported in 2020, Lifeloc received a $465 thousand SBA guaranteed loan through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  These loans could be completely forgiven by the SBA if the proceeds were spent in accordance with the program rules.  Lifeloc complied with this program and applied for forgiveness in 2020, which was granted by the SBA in early 2021, with the financial benefit of the forgiveness realized in the first quarter of 2021.  The PPP program was quite successful in mitigating the negative effect of the significant demand suppression on cash flow from the pandemic while allowing Lifeloc to carefully reduce structural costs and retain critical personnel, with no compromise to our product development efforts. 

Lifeloc qualified for and received a second PPP loan of $471 thousand in Q1 of 2021.  As with the first loan, Lifeloc intends to comply with all requirements and will apply for forgiveness of this loan after the program conditions are satisfied and the application process is made available.

Our new platform LX9 and LT7 devices were introduced late in 2019.  Despite current difficult market conditions, the features (and performance) of the new L-series products have driven penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as wider temperature ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages.  We expect that most L-series sales will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than displacing FC-series sales.  "In January 2021 our L-series devices were certified to SAI's (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors. This achievement solidifies our ability to provide advanced breath alcohol detectors to a robust market and provides a product certification that is highly regarded in the Pacific Rim," said Mark Lary, Director of Regulatory Affairs.

We continue to invest in the significant growth opportunities of alcohol monitoring and drug detection.  The monitoring opportunity will be addressed primarily through the redesigned Real-Time Alcohol Detection and Reporting (R.A.D.A.R.^®) device.  Manufacture of the second generation R.A.D.A.R. 200 protype devices began in late 2020.  Testing of these redesigned R.A.D.A.R. devices and integration with the monitoring system has been extensive, requiring additional modification before final release.  The design has been finalized with several devices now in field testing by key customers and sales release planned this year.  Several upgrades have been made to the reporting system with an entirely new enrollment app to automate that process.

Our most important goal remains the convergence of the market need for rapid detection of drugs of abuse with Lifeloc's capabilities.  Resources have been committed to finalizing the development of the SpinDx™ technology platform and the rapid, quantitative marijuana breathalyzer built on that platform.  We have improved the detection sensitivity for delta-9-THC as well as the robustness of the device.  Work continues to develop this system into a device that can be used for roadside testing.

"We look forward to the continued improvement of general business conditions, especially within our customer base.  The last year has been particularly difficult for the travel industry and law enforcement," commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO.  "But our real growth driver is the strong pipeline of recent and coming product releases.  Additional features requested by various European law enforcement agencies are being added to the L-series platform. Together with the imminent release of the redesigned R.A.D.A.R 200 devices, this should develop a healthy recurring revenue stream. The next big milestone for Lifeloc will be completing the commercialization of the SpinDx platform – a major effort that will be prioritized over short-term profitability."
