CEO Commentary
Fawad Maqbool, CEO, commented, “The progress AmpliTech has made from our NASDAQ uplisting in February 2021, to the present, is nothing short of spectacular and none of this would have been possible without the brilliant execution of the AmpliTech team. Spectrum, AGMDC, Specialty Microwave, and AmpliTech Inc divisions are working seamlessly together with remarkable synergy.”
“Since our inception, we have focused on observing the challenges high-tech industries face and developing products that close the technology gap. We are proud to execute our mission of enabling wireless connectivity like never before. “
“Our LNA technology allows for lower noise with lower power dissipation, making next-generation communication networks more efficient and reliable. Our Spectrum division provided semiconductor packaging to customers across diverse automotive, scientific research, and computing industries. The AmpliTech MMIC Design Center (AGMDC) team is up and running, developing MMIC chips that capture AmpliTech’s industry-leading efficiency, by enabling more power-efficient communication systems, without sacrificing performance. “
“We are proud of the progress we have made this quarter. Although we recorded one-time expenses during this quarter in R&D including corporate expenses, we achieved a profitable quarter and reiterate our target to have a profitable fiscal year 2022.” Furthermore, Mr. Maqbool stated “We remain very active in forging and fortifying customer relationships, researching new products, expanding production, implementing new ERP and CRM systems, and recording a near ten-fold growth in revenue. There are many shortcomings in the performance of today’s communication systems, and we are determined to overcome them with the introduction of new product offerings. We are looking forward to continuing our transformative fiscal 2022 year.”
