The Company posted quarterly net revenue of $2.11 million for a quarterly net income of $360 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income included extinguishment of debt income.

Gross margin in the fiscal 2022 second quarter was lower due to higher material costs.

The Company posted six months net revenue of $4.12 million for a six months net income of $353 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted share. Net income included extinguishment of debt income. These results compare to six months net revenue of $3.23 million for a six months net loss of $131 thousand, or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the year-ago six months. Gross margin on net revenue was 48% in the fiscal 2022 six months and 51% in the fiscal 2021 six months.

"Total revenue, which included service revenue, increased 12% from our COVID impacted second quarter revenue of last year," said Gregory Trudel, President and CEO of Encision Inc. "We continue to be positive as we assess and react to how surgical pocedures rebound from the pandemic. We have learned to flex our sales tactics as the market reacts to waves of COVID and we encounter varying degrees of direct access to our customers."

"Service revenue for our second quarter of fiscal 2022 resulted from services performed under a Master Services Agreement with Auris Health, Inc. ("Auris Health"), a part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Under the agreement, we are collaborating on the integration of AEM Technology into monopolar instrumentation produced by Auris Health for advanced surgical applications. This work is ongoing and is reported separately, as service revenue, in our Statement of Operations."

"In August 2021, we signed a Supply Agreement with Auris Health. The agreement has an initial term of three years. During the term, Auris has agreed to buy certain AEM® Technology enabled products exclusively from us. We are proud of being awarded this agreement and look forward to our continued relationship with Auris."

"In February 2021, we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") for a principal amount of $533,118. Under the terms of the CARES Act, a PPP loan recipient may apply for, and be granted, forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. During the quarter that ended September 30, 2021, we achieved the requirements for forgiveness and recognized the forgiveness as extinguishment of debt income of $533,118."
