Revenue in the third quarter of 2020 decreased approximately 28% to $1.5 million from $2.1 million in the same year-ago period, primarily due to lower demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross margin increased to 52.4% from 50.1% due to product mix and operational efficiencies.
Income (loss) from operations was a loss of ($79) thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared with income of $203 thousand in the same period in 2019. Operating income (loss) was impacted by lower gross profit and nearly flat operating expenses.
In the third quarter of 2020, after-tax net income was $65 thousand or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to after-tax net income of $111 thousand or $0.02 per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
The company ended the period with $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.

First profit in six quarters!
[comment] not bad considering the general state of the economy these days IMO
CAMARILLO, Calif., Oct 24, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Interlink Electronics, Inc. (LINK, Trade), the world's leading developer of intuitive interface technologies and solutions for business and home applications, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2002. Revenues for the three months totaled $6.6 million -- up 10% as compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of this year. The Company generated its first operating profit in six quarters, yielding a $30,000 operating profit in the third quarter as compared to an operating loss of $283,000 in the second quarter of this year. The net results for the third quarter of 2002 showed net income of $40,000 or break-even on a per share basis as compared to a loss of $333,000 or $0.03 loss per diluted share reported in the second quarter of 2002.
"We are very pleased with the Company's financial performance in the third quarter," said E. Michael Thoben, chairman, CEO and president. "We improved revenues by 10%, giving us two consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. This is particularly encouraging in light of the negative macro-economic factors influencing most technology companies. While it remains difficult to maintain much long term visibility under current market conditions, our shorter term expectations remain very positive and we expect to continue on a similar growth track.
"The Company's return to profitability is clearly a milestone. This accomplishment is attributed to not only the recent sales growth, but to the company's recently stream-lined structure and record operating efficiencies," continued Mr. Thoben. "Cash flow also remained strong as our positive operating cash flow of nearly $400,000 enabled us to complete the repayment of some of our Japanese loans without significant impact on our overall cash balance.
"Our business communications segment performed well again this quarter and accounted for 63% of our total worldwide revenues," added Mr. Thoben. "Our top OEMs in Asia and North America both continued to show progress over the last quarter, improving revenue by 8%. The Company's business communications branded business also continued to show steady progress at a modest 5%. We expect stronger fourth quarter growth in branded product sales as seasonality influences retail buying patterns.
"Our e-transactions business also continued to achieve record sales growth as well as solid market momentum during the third quarter," said Mr. Thoben. "This revenue growth was largely attributed to reorders from several of our existing key customers, such as Prudential, Walgreens, Charles Schwab and Ford Credit.
"We also continued building strategic relationships in vertical markets as part of our strategy to ensure ePad is the standard for electronic signatures. Specifically, we made significant progress in both drug testing and security/ID card vertical markets, announcing relationships with eScreen, Inc. and Viisage Technology, Inc. eScreen, who develops and markets rapid employment drug screening devices, currently processes millions of healthcare data transactions per year. As a first step, we have integrated ePad e-signature capability into their eScreen point-of-care drug screening products.
"Additionally, last week we announced that we had established a strategic partnership with Viisage Technology, Inc., who delivers more than 25 million digital-identification documents to federal, state and local government agencies issuing digital drivers' licenses, identity cards, social services cards and local law enforcement credentials. The first deployment of Interlink's ePad electronic signature solution with Viisage's image capture and facial recognition system is taking place at the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles."

Interlink Electronics' E-Signature Solution Adopted by Ford Credit for the Processing of Lease End Documents
Ford Credit Integrates Interlink's ePad and Valyd's eSign To Automate Dealerships Throughout the U.S.
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2002-- Interlink Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LINK - news), the world's leading developer of intuitive interface technologies and solutions for business and home applications, announced today that Ford Credit, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F - news), will deploy Interlink's ePad handwritten electronic signature solution at thousands of dealerships throughout the U.S. Ford Credit's ePad implementation, which includes the installation of eSign software from Interlink's industry partner Valyd Inc., will utilize electronic signatures to automate processing of some of its lease end documents.
Interlink's ePad e-signature solution is part of a system-wide transition from paper lease end documents to electronic lease end documents. The processing of thousands of lease end documents yearly will reduce operations costs by providing a handwritten electronic signature that is understood and accepted by the consumer, easy to use, and legally binding.
``Electronic signature solutions, like that offered by Interlink's ePad and Valyd's eSign signature software, are being deployed by larger companies to enable customer hand-signing of electronic forms and applications,'' said Srinivas Sreeramaneni, president of Valyd, Inc. ``Motivated by sharp reductions in processing costs and transaction times, companies are leveraging their investment in information systems to carry more revenue directly to the bottom line.''
``We are witnessing the beginning of a trend,'' added Rod Vesling, vice president of sales and marketing, electronic transactions, Interlink Electronics, ``a transition on the part of larger companies from paper to electronic documents at the brick and mortar level. Our ePad sales strategy targets exactly these opportunities as well as those created by government agencies and companies automating consumer forms, worldwide.''
About ePad
Interlink Electronics' ePad solution captures the handwritten signature converting it to a biometrically-secure e-signature for use in electronic forms and transactions. By providing user-intuitive electronic signatures, ePad enables enhanced workflow, reduced operations costs and faster document processing times.
ePad e-signatures may be permanently bound into Microsoft® Word® documents, Outlook® e-mail messages, Adobe® Acrobat® PDF files, Internet documents, and many proprietary forms and transactions. ePad's e-signatures also contain a biometric handwriting profile that may be used to authenticate the identity of the signer. The ePad writing surface, which accepts signatures using any common stylus, has the natural feel of writing on paper.

4th Quarter 2001 Financials
Interlink Electronics Reports Fourth Quarter 2001 Financial Results
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2002--Interlink Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:LINK - news), a world leader in the development of intuitive interface technologies and solutions for business and home applications, today announced financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2001.
Worldwide revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $5.3 million, compared to the $6 million posted in third quarter of 2001. For the year, revenues totaled $25.3 million compared to the $33.9 million recorded in 2000. Operations delivered a $491,000 loss for the quarter, as compared to the $593,000 operating loss in third quarter of 2001. For the year, the operating loss was $635,000 (excluding $2.4 million in one-time operating charges). This compares with an operating income of $3.6 million in 2000. The net loss reached $467,000 for the quarter and $2 million for the year. The loss per diluted share was $0.05 for the fourth quarter and $0.21 for the 2001 year.
``As anticipated, the performance of our Business Communications segment remained sluggish in the fourth quarter of 2001,'' said E. Michael Thoben, chairman, CEO and president of Interlink Electronics. ``During the current worldwide economic slowdown, we retained all of our major OEM customers. Their orders, however, have been more conservative reflecting current market conditions. We have used this opportunity to deepen and broaden our relationships with key customers. Our recently announced enhanced partnership with InFocus Corporation, the world's largest maker of presentation projectors, is a result of the implementation of this strategy.
``In general, we are encouraged by some of the positive indices we are seeing in the OEM sector. Specifically, we are now achieving design wins indicating to us a much stronger second half of the year,'' Mr. Thoben continued.
``The Home Entertainment market in the fourth quarter, while slow for companies focused on broadband opportunities, continued to be a bright spot for Interlink Electronics. We currently supply Microsoft with an integral patented component in the Xbox game controller. The Xbox has been hailed by the home entertainment industry as today's most advanced gaming platform. We are pleased to be contributing to its success and anticipate sales to remain strong as this product continues to roll out worldwide.
``While revenues from ePad product sales fell short of expectations in 2001, the fourth quarter ePad revenues were strong and there is clear evidence of momentum building in the market. Industry leaders such as Charles Schwab, Prudential, and Nuremberg Insurance have adopted ePad e-signature solutions to automate their customer forms processing. And recently, one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers similarly chose an ePad solution to automate its dealership leasing operations. As a slowing economy mandates cost-reduction measures in larger companies, the operational savings realized by a transition from paper to electronic documents will be a huge incentive, driving a worldwide transition to electronic documents and ePad e-signature solutions in 2002 and 2003.
``Operations finished the last quarter of the year using less than $500,000 in cash. Our balance sheet remains strong with $9.3 million in the bank and several unused lines of credit. We continued to invest in our key strategic business segments while at the same time streamlining our operations in the US and Japan to reduce costs. We also established a manufacturing logistics facility in Hong Kong, Interlink Electronics Asia Pacific (IEAP), to guarantee cost competitive `just in time' delivery to our customers. It is our belief these steps will begin to produce a positive bottom-line trend by the second half of 2002,'' concluded Mr. Thoben.
