As we look forward to the second half of 2024, our focus continues to remain on driving sales volume and ensuring that we have the funds we need to execute our mission to provide customers with cost-effective cybersecurity solutions for their enterprise."
Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.5 million, an increase of 29% on a sequential basis. The sequential increase in revenue during the second quarter of 2024 was driven by the recent award of a large government contract for the use of both Intrusion Shield technology and Consulting services.
The gross profit margin was 76% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 78% in the second quarter of 2023. Gross margin will vary based on product mix.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 were $3.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million sequentially and $0.9 million from the comparable quarter of last year.
The net loss from operating activities for the second quarter of 2024 was $(2.0) million, representing a $0.4 million or 18% improvement over the first quarter and $0.9 million or 30% improvement on a year-over-year basis. The improvement over the first quarter was driven by both gross profit on higher revenues and a decrease in operating expenses.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $(2.1) million, or $(0.53) per share, compared to a net loss of $(3.1) million, or $(2.92) per share for the second quarter of 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $1.5 million.
