Winland Electronics, Inc. (OTCQB: WELX) today reported that sales of its environmental monitoring products for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 were $869,000, up $50,000, or 6.1 percent from the same period in 2012. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $1,742,000, up $116,000, or 7.1 percent from the same period last year.

The Company reported an operating loss of $755,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to an operating loss of $121,000 for the same period in 2012; and an operating loss of $1,245,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to an operating loss of $303,000 for the same period in 2012.

"We continued our progress during the quarter in executing our strategic shift to a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model and repositioning the organization as a provider of real-time, cloud-based critical environment monitoring services," said David Gagne, Winland's Chief Executive Officer. "Beta-testing is confirming that our new strategy is on target for meeting the growing demand for perishable asset protection and simplified data logging for critical condition environment compliance, specifically in the food and medical-related industries."

Gross margins increased from 29.2 percent to 32.5 percent for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, and from 28.8 percent to 31.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. These increases were the result of increased unit volumes, an annual price increase and cost reductions in direct support costs.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were $323,000 compared to $74,000 for the same time period a year ago; and $557,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $134,000 for the same time period a year ago. These expenses were primarily for continued product development of the Company's new cloud-based critical environment software application that is scheduled for release during the second half of this year.

General and Administrative expenses were $430,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $293,000 compared to the same time period a year ago. These increases are attributed to increased salaries and benefits, professional fees related to the Company's new strategic plan, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options issued to Company executives and board of directors, and increased travel and rent expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, General and Administrative expenses were $729,000, an increase of $445,000 compared to the same time period a year ago.

Second-quarter sales and marketing expenses increased $135,000 to $284,000 from the same period a year ago, and $157,000 to $510,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period a year ago. Both increases were due primarily to development of brand and marketing strategies.

"We have spent approximately half of the $1.2 million investment we planned for our new SaaS strategy, including the software development, sales, marketing, and channel management required to drive awareness and demand," Gagne said. "Our preparation in the marketing and channel sales areas continues, and our plan to launch our new cloud-based offering in the second half of the year remains solid."
