John Waldstein, company President and CEO said, "We are pleased to have produced our highest quarterly revenue. By delivering our second consecutive quarter of $3 million-plus in revenues we are achieving steady and consistent growth. Our position in the marketplace as a leader in quality access control solutions continues to be strengthened by the introduction of our eMerge Browser Managed Security Platform. During the quarter we developed versions of eMerge that can be sold through our security distributors. We expect interest in eMerge will continue to increase as we work with our distributors to introduce the product to qualified security dealers.
"Our strategy to leverage our positive reputation in the marketplace and introduce a browser managed security product is beginning to take hold while we've continued to make investments in eMerge. We feel these investments will be beneficial to the long-term growth of the company."
