WonSoo Chung, CEO of Axium Technologies, commented, "We are very pleased with our first quarter which is typically our weakest quarter due to seasonal ordering patterns. Once again our sales of TaggerTrap comprised the highest percentage of sales and new orders continue to come in as more and more cities become aware of our very effective anti-graffiti security system. It is also important to note that we integrated eleven additional IP devices into our Maximum software and that revenues from this division continue to grow while generating gross margins of approximately 90%.
