These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue increased because sales of proprietary products and services remained strong and the company captured replacement demand associated with the end of life of the legacy version of NetAttest EPS. Higher sales of high-margin proprietary products and services improved the gross profit margin, while cost controls also contributed to higher profit.
