Management Commentary
Regarding the Company’s results for the second quarter of 2018, Bruce Bromage, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer noted, “The second quarter of 2018 has been instrumental in our continued evolution into a trusted, volume manufacturer.

Q2 2018 Financial Summary
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company generated $55 thousand in revenue as it continued to focus on the development and manufacturing of prototype and commercial parts for its customers and partnering with licensees on the development of the Company’s technology and production processes.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expense was $1.5 million in Q2 2018, as compared to $1.3 million in Q2 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in non-cash expenses for depreciation due to continued capital investments in the Company’s manufacturing center.
Research and development expense was $0.6 million in Q2 2018, as compared to $0.4 million in Q2 2017. The increase from the prior year was mainly due to additional expenses associated with alloy and application development.
Cash and restricted cash totaled $37.9 million at June 30, 2018, as compared to $41.3 million at December 31, 2017.
