PRINCETON, N.J., March 31, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mikros Systems Corporation (OTCQB:MKRS) announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Revenues for 2010 were $4,802,393 and net income was $251,678, representing significant improvements over the previous year. Revenues increased $2,382,392, or 98% and net income increased $219,901, or 692%, over 2009 results. At the end of 2010, Mikros had cash and cash equivalents of $638,106 and net working capital of $861,637. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was $214,440, compared to $64,846 of net cash used in operating activities in 2009.
"We are very proud of our accomplishments this past year," stated Tom Meaney, Mikros President. "We experienced tremendous operational success, which included the award of a new multi-year contract and over $5 million in new orders. We recorded positive financial results in every quarter of 2010, and we begin 2011 with a strong backlog and cash position. Based on a number of encouraging indicators, we expect this trend will continue in 2011 and beyond."
The company continues to develop important strategic relationships with other defense industry leaders. This has recently led to new work in areas such as autonomous power buoys that will generate electricity from ocean waves and provide power solutions for long-term persistent sensors used for homeland security and underwater warfare. Mikros is also working with the U.S. Navy and leading prime contractors advancing interference-aware, radio-frequency (RF) technologies developed by the company over the past several years. The company is also making great progress on a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract awarded in late 2009 to develop software applications using this RF technology and integrating it into various defense-wide tactical radio and mission planning initiatives.
Mikros' ADEPT product was initially procured by the U.S. Navy in support of the AN/SPY-1 radars on board the highly advanced Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers. ADEPT's proven ability to increase readiness and provide enhanced distance support capabilities easily extends to other radar and complex electronic systems found in the U.S. and International Navies and other military organizations. "Mikros completed delivery of over 30 ADEPT systems to the U.S. Navy this past year," according to Marc Dalby, VP Business Development and Operations. "We expect to continue to see steady demand for the ADEPT product from the U.S. Navy, as well as increased funding for development, over at least the next three to five years."
