TCCO Technical Communications Corp

Technical Communications Corporation (OTCQB: TCCO) today announced its results for the fiscal quarter ended December 26, 2020.

Carl H. Guild Jr., President and CEO of Technical Communications Corporation, commented, “As previously noted, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to delay several projects that are in the pipeline, and those delays continue although recently we have experienced some limited progress toward the resumption of the procurement process. TCC and our customers have implemented substantial video communications in an effort to move projects forward.  We have seen evidence that certain countries are beginning to loosen restrictions, and TCC is preparing to increase its business development efforts as soon as it is allowed and safe.

Assisting these efforts is the $474,000 loan TCC received under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program on February 1, 2021. The entire TCC team is committed to doing what is necessary to stay prepared for an expected business upturn in fiscal 2021.”
