HANOVER, MD--(Marketwired - Aug 15, 2016) - Brekford Corp. (OTCQX: BFDI), a leading public safety and security technology service provider of automated traffic safety enforcement ("ATSE") solutions, parking enforcement solutions, and an end-to-end suite of technology equipment for public safety vehicle services, today announced its operating results for the second quarter of 2016.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
Second Quarter Operational Highlights
Management Comments
"Operating results for the second quarter of 2016 showed improvement as we have continued to stay the course in implementing our expansion efforts," commented Rod Hillman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Brekford Corp. "We had a 26% revenue increase as compared to the same quarter in 2015, and our net income turned positive as we continue to control costs while ramping up business development efforts for our vehicle services and ATSE products. In addition to shifting focus to significant markets in Washington D.C., Virginia, and federal government agencies, we have started a project to streamline shop operations in anticipation of increased installation orders. Our sales order pipeline remained strong at approximately $2.2 million as of June 30, 2016."
"Our ATSE turnkey photo enforcement services are beginning to see traction as two additional red light cameras were installed in New Rochelle, New York, and we also deployed and went live with the first three speed cameras in Calvert County, Maryland. We are excited about further prospects for expansion in 2016 as we await decisions from agencies on several large program proposals submitted over the past few months. We are actively pursuing a number of new initiatives in the U.S. and Latin America, and are hopeful to be able to secure contracts in the coming months. Unfortunately we cannot control the timing of the decision making process, especially with larger agencies and cities."
"In addition to delivering what we believe is the best speed and red light enforcement technology in the industry; we are looking to the future to be able to commercially launch our patent pending electronic distracted driving camera, when municipalities and states begin to pass legislation enabling the service. And finally, we continue to work hard promoting Panasonic's Arbitrator BWC body worn camera solution to our existing customers who already have compatible in-car cameras and video evidence management solutions. This year we have delivered systems to several large agencies in Maryland who are conducting pilot studies prior to full scale implementation," concluded Hillman.
Saltillo, Mexico Developments
The Company continues to diligently work with the City of Saltillo and our partner company in Mexico to improve collections efforts for our first international program, launched in April 2015. We have discussed a number of steps that need to be taken in order to ensure sufficient enforcement and collections. These measures include vehicle checkpoints monitored by automated license plate readers and door-to-door collections as well as establishing agreements from neighboring states to authorize vehicle registration holds, requiring registered owners to pay outstanding fines in order to receive their annual vehicle registration renewal.
Brekford is not yet comfortable that appropriate measures have been implemented; however, we still believe that improved collection rates are attainable. We will be meeting with officials from the City in the near future to specifically define an achievable financial outcome for the program, which has been operationally successful in reducing deaths and accidents caused by speeding on City roads. At this time, the Company is not able to predict when, or if, these collection efforts will be successful. Until the collection efforts begin to produce desired results, we have decided not to deploy additional cameras beyond the 16 currently in operation.
