Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 was $10.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, an increase of 22%.

The Advanced Technologies segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by 17% to $5.8 million, and the Industrial Services segment revenues for quarter increased by 29%, to $4.5 million.
Gross Profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $4.1 million, or 40% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $3.3 million, or 39% of revenues for the year ago period. Gross profit increased due to higher sales and varied from product to product and from customer to customer.

Operating activities for continuing operations used $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to using $3.4 million of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $4.2 million in 2020.
