Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,433,051 compared to $280,685 in the same period last year, an increase of 411%. Driving this increase were higher service and licensing sales to both new and existing customers.

The increase in gross profit margin is directly attributable to higher licensing fees as a percentage of net sales for the comparable period.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $1,172,577, an increase of 9.6% as compared to operating expenses of $1,070,263 for the same period 2009. This increase was due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of approximately 6% related to higher commission expenses and referral fees as a result of higher revenues, and a 23% increase in research, development and engineering costs.

Operating income for the second quarter was $156,633 compared to an operating loss of $858,009 for the same period in 2009.

We believe our technology and partners position us well to participate in the strengthening industry fundamentals for both the near and long-term. ”

Six Month Comparisons

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2,409,226 compared to $818,879 for the same six-month period last year, an increase of 194%. Driving this increase were higher licensing sales to both new and existing customers, partially offset by lower service fees.

Gross profit and gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $2,195,285 and 91.1% respectively, as compared to $613,368 and 74.9% respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $2,157,386, a decrease of 1.9% as compared to operating expenses of $2,198,991 for the same period in 2009. This decrease was due to a 7.4% decline in selling, general and administrative expenses, offset by an 18.2% increase in research, development and engineering expenses. The decline in SG&A was primarily related to lower legal and professional service fees, and charges for non-cash compensation, offset by higher commission and referral fee expenses.

Operating income was $37,899 compared to an operating loss of ($1,585,623) for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

I am reluctant to write about Technical Communications Corp. (TCCO.OB), a microcap manufacturer of encrypted communications devices. It took me weeks to even accumulate a small position at the prices I wanted to pay. The stock is damn difficult to buy, at least near the bid.

But it’s worth it. There are three reasons why I think that Technical Communications Corp. is a stock worth owning:

1. Low float could make any move explosive. The float is only 1.35 million shares, and the total share count only 1.45 million. Another plus: unlike many microcaps, this one won’t dilute you into oblivion. The share count barely nudged over the past year.

2. Very low enterprise value-to-sales ratio. TCCO has a market cap of 6.23M and posted sales last year of over 7M. But TCCO.OB also has 3.97M, or $2.73/share, in cash and equivalents. Back that out and the EV/S ratio is only 0.33 (all figures courtesy of Yahoo Finance).

3. Technical Communications made $0.19/share last quarter ($0.17 fully diluted). Even without backing out the cash, that annualizes out to a forward P/E under 7. Back out the cash and the forward P/E drops under 4. Now I’m not sure that TCCO can earn as much over the next 3 quarters as it did the last quarter, but it seems to me there is what Seth Klarman might call a Margin of Safety here.

A few caveats. As mentioned, the stock is very thinly traded. Sales are concentrated — 2 customers account for 78% of revenues. One of the big customers is Uncle Sam. Also, the earnings were boosted in part because tax loss carryforwards allowed the company to dramatically cut its tax liability and avoid paying taxes. There are still over $3 million in carryforwards, so I don’t anticipate a big jump in the tax burden this year. However, if TCCO remains profitable, understand that at some point the carryforwards will be utilized and TCCO will have to pay taxes just like you and me.

(TCCO closed today at $4.04)

Company to Hold Conference Call to Discuss 2009 Business Outlook

PALM DESERT, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Spare Backup, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPBU), an industry-leading provider of automated, online backup applications, and cloud services for home users and small businesses, announced today that it sees total subscriptions for the second quarter of 2009 ranging between $1.3 and $1.6 million. We anticipate record revenue for the second quarter of 2009 ranging between $500,000 and $600,000 and unearned revenue from annual subscriptions between $800,000 and $1.1 million. The unearned revenue will be recognized as revenue over the subscription term as per our revenue recognition policy which is based on generally accepted accounting principles.

The improved top line performance was largely attributable to its continued rollout of data backup offerings with its partners. Revenue is expected to benefit slightly from an improving pound (GBP) currency in the quarter versus the U.S. dollar. During first quarter of 2009 we had total subscriptions of approximately $1.1 million. We recognized revenues for the first quarter of 2009 amounting to approximately $456,000 and unearned revenue from annual subscriptions sold during first quarter amounting to approximately $608,000. The total subscriptions in the 2nd quarter are expected to exceed the total amount of revenue recorded for the full year of 2008. Seasonality has historically caused the second half of the year to be stronger than the first half.

Management anticipates the roll out of its current and new RETAIL partnerships, as well as other OEMs, and new product offerings such as Spare Room, Spare Mobile, and Spare Sync will continue to expand revenue in the coming quarters. Management will be hosting a conference call to discuss its business outlook for 2009. The information for that call is as follows:

* Date: July 7, 2009
* Time: to be separately announced
* Dial-in number for US/Canada: to be separately announced
* Dial-In number for international callers: to be separately announced
* Conference ID: to be separately announced

Mr. Cery Perle, CEO of the Spare Backup, Inc., commented, “We continue to achieve positive momentum and are excited by the growth in our subscriptions as well as the progress we are making on numerous business fronts. We will be discussing current business relationships, new product launches, pending transactions, financings and new business relationships. We look forward to further communicating where we see the future of our company as we strive to reach our goal of positive EBITDA in 2009 and profitability in 2010.”
