5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
Revenue of $19.6M was $1M ahead of estimates; EPS loss was slightly below. Revenue rose 53% but EBITDA shifted to negative $0.1M from +$1.8M and was below estimates. Backlog rose $22M to $85.5M. Cash is $60M. Revenue guidance was maintained but costs have increased and profit guidance has been retracted, which will disappoint some. Some of the additional costs are Covid-related. The conference call is later today and we will get more info.

Q: The q numbers, are not a surprise to me...are they better or worse than your expectations? It is the comments found in the president's message also in the Outlook section of the release which I need help deciphering, They sound very positive; do you buy all these opportunities for qst, all the optimism she talks about? How much of this is company spin?
