Customer demand and orders for our products were strong during fiscal year 2024 and continued during the first three months of  2025. Our backlog of unshipped customer orders was approximately $18.8 million and $21.8 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Changes in the backlog are attributed primarily to the timing of orders and their fulfillment.

Gross profit margins as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were 47.0%, compared with 34.5% for the comparative fiscal year 2024 quarter, generally reflecting radio product and accessories sales mix and material cost improvements related to cost reduction initiatives. Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaled approximately $6.0 million (31.7% of sales), compared with $5.3 million (29.1% of sales) in the same period of fiscal year 2024. We recognized operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of approximately $2.9 million, compared with an operating income of approximately $1.0 million for the same period of fiscal year 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized other expenses, net totaling approximately $0.1 million. This compares with other expenses, net totaling $0.3 million for the same period of fiscal year 2024, which included interest expense on the Alterna IPSA Line of Credit and a realized loss of approximately $91,
