Mark or anyone..
It appears to me Plc missed earnings?
This is from Zacks online...

Consensus Estimate for
Current Quarter $ -0.17 per share

company reporting -.28cents for the quarter..

Also Revenues down over a Million dollars year over year..and expenses up. Company saying this is due to a decrease in Heart laser sales and the majority being sold thru distributors, which are carrying a lower sales price.
I can see the expenses being up..but the revenues down and these comments concern me.

I've been a PLC optimist..but I'm having trouble finding positives in this part of the companys press release.

FRANKLIN, Mass., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- PLC Systems Inc. (Amex: PLC) today
announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 1997.

Financials:

Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 1997 were $2,046,000 as compared
to revenues of $3,120,000 for the corresponding quarter in 1996. The net loss for the quarter

$1,351,000, or $0.08 per share for the fourth quarter of 1996.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $8,941,000 compared to revenues
of $11,872,000 for the corresponding year ended 1996. The difference in revenues is due to a

Any comments appreciated..
