GOLETA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2023 / Aeluma, Inc. (OTCQB:ALMU), a semiconductor company specializing in scalable, cost-effective technologies for LiDAR (light detection and ranging), communication, and sensing, today provided a corporate update and announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, ended September 30, 2023.
Recent Company Highlights
Management Commentary
"As we begin to transition some of our technology from research and development to commercialization, we report revenue for a second consecutive quarter," said Aeluma Founder and CEO, Jonathan Klamkin, Ph.D. "We believe the short time period from inception to revenue reflects the strength of our technology, the size of the markets available to us, and the demand for what we believe to be high-performance, cost-effective, and scalable semiconductor technologies. While this early revenue is small, there is significant near-term opportunity with government funding for defense and aerospace, and in the automotive supply sector. And as we continue to mature our technology, we are receiving significant interest from additional market verticals including mobile, AR/VR, AI, and quantum."
Financial Results
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, ended September 30, 2023, revenue was $32,400, compared to $0 in the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
The Company incurred a net loss of $1.48 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share in the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.53 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
