Scott Switzer, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted many businesses in the second quarter of 2020, and ours was no exception. The effects of business restrictions, temporary shutdowns and closures on our customers resulted in a decline in demand for our products. During the second quarter we launched a 'One Costar' initiative to unify our organization which resulted in significant cost savings, increased efficiencies, and improved employee collaboration across all our subsidiaries. As restrictions and closures ease, we are beginning to see increased quotation activity which we are confident will drive third quarter revenue wins. In addition, in the second quarter we released four new cameras that completes our family of mid-range products and will position us to enter new markets. Finally, in July we hired a Chief Revenue Officer to better leverage our sales team, improve our channel partner programs, and enhance our ability to meet the needs of our customers."

Sarah Ryder, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, went on to say, "During this unprecedented time we successfully restructured the organization, improving efficiency and reducing operating expenses by 30%. These efforts helped offset softness in revenue during the quarter resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to have constructive conversations with our bank, UMB, as we work to obtain a waiver and modify our covenants to facilitate future compliance. Strong financial performance in the first quarter, combined with material cost reductions achieved in the second quarter, have better positioned the Company to navigate throughout this uncertain economic environment."
