• Follow-on calibration contract to continue supporting ADEPT units in the fleet

Tom Meaney, Mikros President and CEO, commented, "This was another tremendous quarter for Mikros. For the second time over the past four fiscal quarters, we nearly tripled our revenue as compared to the prior year period. We were able to efficiently manage general and administrative expenses and delivered another very profitable quarter for our shareholders. Our facility in Largo, FL remains at near full capacity as we fulfill ADEPT orders, support maintenance efforts on deployed units, and continue to work on extending the ADEPT capabilities to the US Navy's SPS-49 long-range air surveillance radar. We are confident that we have the product and the technical expertise to successfully extend ADEPT and further grow our business."
