The Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $843,000 for the corresponding period in 2017. The year-over-year increase in revenue was driven primarily by higher revenues in the Company's Training and Simulation Division related to its vehicle simulation and use of force products, partially offset by a decline in the Power System Division revenue as a result of the decline in battery orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense contract that was completed in 2017.
The Company is updating its 2018 guidance, increasing its adjusted EBITDA guidance to the range of $7.3 to $7.6 million and Adjusted EPS of $0.16 to $0.18, while decreasing revenue guidance to the range of $95 million to $100 million.
