Applied Energetics Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
TUCSON, Ariz., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Energetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: AERG), today reported summary financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company will host a live conference call today, May 10 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).
First Quarter 2011 Summary Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2011 decreased about 22.2% to approximately $2.8 million, compared to approximately $3.6 million for the same period last year. Counter-IED (CIED) program revenue for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by $454,000 to $1.7 million as we completed our field operational support and focus on the more compact version of this technology. Revenue from Laser Guided Energy (LGE) decreased by $130,000 to $707,000, and revenue from High Voltage products increased by $226,000 to $233,000 for the first quarter of 2011, respectively. Revenues for the Ultrashort Pulse Laser product line had a decrease of $420,000 to $146,000 for the first quarter of 2011.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted common share, compared to the prior comparable period net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.0 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted common share.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $8.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had a backlog (workload remaining on signed contracts) of approximately $1.2 million, to be completed within the next twelve months.
Joe Hayden, President, commented, "The first quarter was challenging as expected due to the delays in approving a Federal budget. We have recently had several significant achievements as our more compact version of our counter-IED technology completed Government testing last Friday, and we have recently completed testing with our Transportable Demonstrator ultrashort pulse laser system in Hawaii. Our continued ability to perform and deliver on our contracts will be critical to our success in an increasingly competitive Federal budget environment. Additionally, our efforts to develop commercial business for our ultrashort pulse laser and high voltage technologies are beginning to show results as potential customers are requesting information, demonstrations and visits to our facilities to see these new products. The Commercial Applications Centers we are building for these technologies are scheduled to begin operations in the 3rd Quarter of this year."
