Revenues during the nine-month period ending June 30, 2003 were derived primarily from the sale of demonstration units to its Value-added Re-seller partners and to end-users and from RFID integration consulting. During the nine-month period ending June 30, 2003, the Company continued to invest in research and development activities for its passive RFID reader products, particularly UHF reader products designed specifically for logistics and supply chain applications operating under both the EPC and ISO industry standards. During this period, the Company continued to invest in the development of a broader sales and distribution channel and launched a Value Added Reseller program for both the North American and European markets. "During this period, we continued to maintain an aggressive strategic approach to the completion of our current Product Development Program, and the certification of our products. We are now positioned to commence the fulfillment of commercial orders and in so doing, generate the scale of revenues representative of the demand for RFID technology that we are witnessing," said Cliff Horwitz, SAMSys' Chairman & CEO. "We remain confident, both from the intellectual property and commercialization standpoints, that the rewards from our efforts will become evident in the coming weeks and months." |
