Our Disinfection segment was strengthened by a number of key wins across a number of industries including cannabis, food preservation and healthcare. In Hospitality, we completed the integration of our Visionworks acquisition. We are encouraged by the growing market opportunities in each of our business segments as the hospitality industry is rebounding, and there is growing global demand for pathogen elimination technologies such as ours.”

Summary of Financial Results

Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: the design, manufacture, assembly and distribution of disinfecting systems for use in healthcare, hospitality, and commercial municipal and residential markets (Disinfection segment); the manufacture of fine mirrors and furniture specifically for the Hospitality industry (Hospitality segment); and the Corporate Segment, which includes expenses primarily related to corporate governance, such as board fees, legal expenses, audit fees, executive management, and listing costs.

Net Sales

Net sales of $5.9 million represented an increase of $4.0 million, or 213.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to net sales of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was attributable to both the Disinfection segment, which increased $819,000, largely as a result of the strategic acquisitions of KES and Scientific Air in third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, and the Hospitality segment, which increased $3.2 million primarily as a result of the fulfillment of orders that were delayed from the first quarter and the addition of orders fulfilled from the recent VisionMark acquisition.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $771,000, or 144.5%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven by volume growth from both the Disinfection and Hospitality segments. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 28.3% in Q2 of 2021 to 22.1% in Q2 of 2022, driven primarily by the initial costs required to complete projects in process and to integrate and absorb the VisionMark operations. As the Company continues to integrate its strategic acquisitions, the focus will be on realizing cost synergies from the consolidation and streamlining of the manufacturing and distribution operations.

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expense

SG&A costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $4.0 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase of approximately $1.3 million was driven primarily by the expansion of the Disinfection segment with the additional acquisitions of KES and SciAir; the expansion of the Hospitality segment with the addition of the VisionMark acquisition; and Corporate segment expenses due to increased consulting, legal, accounting and infrastructure costs related to the initial integration of the operations of our strategic acquisitions. The Company incurred one-time costs of approximately $739,000 related primarily to the integration of VisionMark operations and the establishment of strategic marketing programs. The Company anticipates efficiency gains in the coming year as it fully integrates its acquisitions and leverages synergies where practical.

Other Income/Expense

Other expense was $79,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which includes $49,000 in interest expense and $32,000 in non-cash expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liability. This compares to other income of $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss of $744,000 was mainly due to the increase in SG&A expense incurred in support of business acquisitions and expansion of both the Disinfection and Hospitality segments.

The Company had approximately $3.0 million of unrestricted cash available on its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.
