Revenue for the second quarter increased 119% to $6.0 million compared with $2.7 million for the same period in 2020 and 24% from the revenue of $4.8 million in Q1 2021. The increase is primarily driven by the deployments of business applications in the retail industry. Q2 Gross margin increased to 55% compared with 50% for the same period last year and 53% sequentially from the immediately preceding quarter primarily as a result of higher revenues and absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead. Operating income for the second quarter of 2021 was $814,000 compared to an operating loss of ($810,000) in the prior year period and an operating income of $242,000 in Q1 2021 primarily due to modestly increased operating expenses offset by higher revenues. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $2.4 million , an increase of 12% compared to operating expenses of $2.2 million for the same quarter a year ago, and an increase of 5% sequentially from the immediately preceding quarter. Q2 net income of $2.6 million included an adjustment of $1.9 million related to the recognition of tax benefit resulting from the disqualified disposition of incentive stock options as of June 30 th , 2021. This adjustment increased deferred tax assets. "We are pleased with our strong performance for the second quarter of 2021.The deployments of business applications, particularly in the retail industry, have served as a key driver of our return to profitable growth we have had historically," said Kevin Mills , president and chief executive officer. "The market opportunity and positive momentum we are seeing is encouraging as it validates our application driven business model. In line with our operating plan, we are investing in both technology and talent, while remaining disciplined on costs, so we can further strengthen our application developer tools to better serve the developer community.
"We continue to experience supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure that are impacting us as well as many other companies around the world. I'm proud of our team's success in meeting customer demand and delivering a strong quarter despite the challenges.
"Our financial strength, including a strong cash balance and the available lines of credit allows us to be well-positioned to invest in new products to drive long-term profitable growth and to withstand unforeseen adversities.
