Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol testing devices, has announced financial results for the 2020 fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Lifeloc Reports 2020 Full Year Results

 

2020 Financial Highlights

The COVID-19 global pandemic and the government ordered shutdowns that came along with the pandemic significantly impacted our business.  These unprecedented circumstances caused a departure from Lifeloc’s consistent annual profitability and resulted in a 27% decline in revenues for 2020.  This pandemic has impacted operations, adding costs while suppressing our workplace, law enforcement and international markets.  Ironically, a recent study published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network shows an average increase in heavy alcohol drinking days of 19% during the pandemic and lockdown, indicating a greater need for Lifeloc products and potentially a pent-up market demand.  On top of the pandemic, extended protests across the country impacted domestic law enforcement, diverting attention and funding.  On a brighter note, with a greater emphasis on workplace hygiene, the pandemic did create openings and demonstrated the value of our hands-free Sentinel™ access control unit.

The Federal government’s response to the pandemic included efforts to stabilize the economy and employment.  The most relevant program to Lifeloc was the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  As previously reported in 2020, Lifeloc received a $465 thousand SBA guaranteed loan, which could be completely forgiven by the SBA if the proceeds were spent in accordance with the program rules.  Lifeloc complied with this program and applied for forgiveness in 2020, which was granted by the SBA in early 2021.  The financial impact of the forgiveness will be realized in the first quarter of 2021.  The PPP program was quite successful in mitigating the negative effect of the significant demand suppression on cash flow from the pandemic while allowing Lifeloc to carefully reduce structural costs and retain critical personnel, thus enabling us to continue our product development efforts. 

Lifeloc qualified for and received a round two PPP loan of $471 thousand in Q1 of 2021.  As with the first loan, Lifeloc intends to comply with all requirements and will apply for forgiveness of this loan when the program conditions are satisfied and the opportunity to apply becomes available. 

Despite all the challenges of 2020, Lifeloc has made substantial progress on several fronts toward our vision of becoming the leading company in real-time drug and alcohol detection and monitoring.  In 2020, Lifeloc was audited and achieved first time accreditation under the ISO 17034 standards.  As a result, our Plus 4™ alcohol simulator solution can now be called Certified Reference Solution.  As a result, we now have a few additional state governments evaluating Lifeloc as a preferred vendor of these solutions to their various facilities.  We believe we can manufacture and distribute this product more cost effectively than can the individual states. 

Concerns over virus spread led to significant attention to the hygiene and safety of every activity in the marketplace, including breath alcohol testing.  As previously reported, Lifeloc commissioned an independent third-party laboratory to test for any potential of viral cross contamination of test subjects using Lifeloc brand breath alcohol testers.  The conclusion was there is no risk of viral cross contamination using Lifeloc brand breath alcohol testers, which has increased confidence in the Lifeloc brand.

Our new platform LX9 and LT7 devices were introduced late in 2019.  Even in the difficult market conditions of 2020, the features and performance of the new L-series products has driven penetration and opened previously unaddressable market needs, such as requirements for a wide temperature range and fast customization in local languages.  We expect that most L-series sales will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than replacing FC-series sales. 

We continue to invest in the significant growth opportunities of alcohol monitoring and drug detection.  The monitoring opportunity will be addressed primarily through the redesigned Real-Time Alcohol Detection and Reporting (R.A.D.A.R.®) device.  Manufacture of the second generation R.A.D.A.R. 200 protype devices began in early 2020.  Testing of these redesigned R.A.D.A.R. devices and integration with the monitoring system has been extensive, requiring additional modification before final release.  This design has been finalized with several devices now in field testing and sales release planned very soon. 

Rapid detection of drugs of abuse is the best convergence of current market need and Lifeloc’s capabilities, and therefore this is our most important goal.  Additional resources are being deployed to finalizing the development of the SpinDx™ technology and the rapid, quantitative marijuana breathalyzer built on that platform.  We have improved the detection sensitivity for delta-9-THC as well as the device robustness.  Work continues to build this system into a device that can be used for roadside testing.

“2020 was a difficult year with the global pandemic adding costs and impacting demand and the way that we work,” commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO.  “We hope to see the continued pickup of our general business conditions as well as the broader adoption of the new LX platform and the imminent release of the redesigned R.A.D.A.R 200 devices return Lifeloc to growth and profitability.  Following the release of the R.A.D.A.R. 200 device, the next big milestone for Lifeloc will be the commercialization of the SpinDx platform.  Speeding the SpinDx commercialization will be prioritized even at the expense of short-term profitability.”
