 Smartmetric Inc
The future is looking bright for the Miscellaneous Manufacturing industry, despite recent reports of a shortfall from SMME. While the operating shortfall of $-0.187023 million for the January to March 31 2023 quarter may seem worrying, it is important to note that revenue has not yet been specified. Despite this, the prevailing course of action in managing day-to-day operations has proven successful in the company's expansion stage.
Furthermore, there has been noteworthy mitigation on the deficit, with diminishing returns being cut from the same time frame a year ago. This is a significant finding from the third quarter of 2023 earnings season, where the shortfall decreased to $-0.311 million, compared to $-0.316 million in the third quarter of 2022.
