The decline from the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to lower revenue levels, as well as higher costs related to completing the integration of our camera into the IVAS platform. The improvement from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a sequential increase in revenues and higher margins on development programs. Consolidated gross margin was 22.5%, compared to 39.6% in the second quarter of 2020 and 18.8% in the first quarter of 2021.
