RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL: We specialize in the manufacturing and development of data radio products. The Company offers product lines which provide innovative communication solutions for applications not served by existing conventional communication systems.

We market our products through direct sales, sales representatives, and domestic, as well as foreign, resellers. Operations are sustained solely from revenues received through sales of its products and services.
As a result of COVID-19, and governmental responses thereto, are experiencing some negative impacts to our business, primarily as a result of reductions in staffing by our customers, and their customers, which is lengthening our normal sales cycles. Many of our customers are also restricting visits from vendors. All of our planned trade shows and sales presentations have been canceled or postponed as a result of the risks associated with face to face meetings. We have utilized various platforms to provide current customers and potential customers with presentations about our products and services. We have also experienced some delays in our supply chain but none of these COVID-19 related disruptions, to the supply chain, has been significant at this point.
