“Today, Socket Mobile has over 800 registered developers and approximately 300 completed Applications in the market, of which approximately 200 that support our barcode scanners are available in the Apple App Store. In addition, approximately 100 companies have completed an Application for their own internal use. This growing base of Applications is the driving force for our Cordless Barcode Scanning Sales.
“The balance of our 2013 revenue came from sales of our Windows based SoMo handheld computers, legacy products and service. We continue to sell and service our SoMo handheld computers.
“The improvement in our overall 2013 financial operating results over the prior year reflects revenue growth, improving margins and reduced operating costs while maintaining Socket’s product development and other essential programs. Our primary goals for 2014 are to continue to attract and support mobile application developers with barcode scanning products designed for the mobile markets and to achieve continued growth and profitable operating results,” Mr. Mills concluded.
