Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $13.1 million, compared to approximately $7.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of 75%. Revenues from the CIED product line increased by $6.7 million to $9.1 million and revenues from the Ultrashort Pulse Laser product line increased by $358,000 to $684,000. Additionally, our High Voltage product line increased by $120,000 to $370,000. Offsetting these increases was a reduction in LGE product line revenue of approximately $1.5 million; total LGE revenue for 2010 was $2.9 million.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $9.7 million or $0.11 per basic and diluted common share for the same period last year. Net loss attributable to common stockholders included non-cash stock based compensation of $1.0 million and $1.8 million for the 2010 and 2009 periods, respectively.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $9.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $9.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and a certificate of deposit at December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had a backlog (workload remaining on signed contracts) of approximately $3.3 million, to be completed within the next twelve months.
Joe Hayden, President, commented, "2010 showed improvement for our company with increased revenues, controlled costs and several significant events including the continued field support of our Banshee Counter-IED system, the development of the next generation Banshee system, and the establishment of an important teaming agreement with L-3 Interstate Electronics Corporation. Our efforts to implement our Strategic Plan to diversify our business are beginning to show positive results with increased interest from potential commercial customers. Increasing our commercial revenues will be especially important given the challenging Federal Budget environment which has adversely affected funding for development programs within the military. We believe that the ultra-short pulse laser and high voltage technologies that we have developed will offer new capabilities for commercial applications and our investment in these areas will provide diversification in a time of reduced Federal, and military, budgets."
