Earlier this month PSID announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenue increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, up from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increased revenue is attributable to the Company’s acquisitions of E-N-G Mobile Systems, Inc. (“ENG”) and Thermomedics Inc. in December 2015. The Company’s current revenues are primarily generated from its Mobile Labs segment. Gross profit increased from $28,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015, to $529,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, which is also attributable to the Company’s acquisitions of ENG and Thermomedics.
PositiveID is developing the Firefly Dx polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) breadboard prototype pathogen detection system (“prototype system”) to be a handheld, fully automated, lab quality, real-time device able to detect bio-threats at the point of need. Currently, PCR tests are run on large lab equipment and take a minimum of four hours to deliver results. A design advantage of Firefly Dx is that it does not require additional equipment or separate steps for sample preparation and purification, unlike current lab-based equipment, thus reducing time to results as well as cost per test. In addition, there is significantly less chance of sample contamination compared to existing testing methods.
