Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (the first quarter of fiscal 2027) increased 81% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the first quarter of fiscal 2026). The increase was due to an 82% increase in product sales and a 53% increase in contract research and development revenue. The increase in product sales was due to increases in both defense and non-defense sales, as well as increases in sales through both direct and distributor channels. The increase in contract research and development revenue was due to progress on existing contracts.
Total operating expenses increased 50% for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2026, due to a 31% increase in research and development expense and an 81% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. The increase in research and development expense was due to increased staffing and new product development activities. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased performance-based compensation.
Interest income decreased 10% due to a decrease in our marketable securities portfolio as proceeds from bond maturities partially funded dividends and fixed asset purchases in the prior fiscal year.
The 79% increase in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to increased revenue, partially offset by increased operating expenses and decreased interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash and cash equivalents were $2,896,148 as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1,714,040 as of March 31, 2026. The $1,182,108 increase in cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was due to $5,306,318 of net cash provided by operating activities and $712,956 of net cash provided by investing activities, partially offset by $4,837,166 of cash used in financing activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities related to product sales and research and development contract revenue was our primary source of working capital for the current and prior-year quarters.
Accounts receivable increased $3,136,772 during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 primarily due to increased sales and timing of customer payments. Inventories decreased $409,594 primarily due to increased sales. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $1,174,494 as the accrual for fiscal 2027 federal and state taxes offset prior-year’s estimated taxes overpayment.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, consisted $5,000,000 in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $4,230,211 of marketable securities purchases and $56,833 of fixed asset purchases. We currently expect fixed asset purchases in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, to be significantly less than for the year ended March 31, 2026 with the completion of our expansion in the past fiscal year.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, consisted of $4,837,166 of cash dividends paid to shareholders.
In addition to cash dividends to shareholders paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, on July 22, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, or $4,837,166 based on shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026, to be paid on August 31, 2026.
We plan to fund dividends through cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. All future dividends will be subject to Board approval and subject to the company’s results of operations, cash and marketable security balances, estimates of future cash requirements, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, dividends may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
