Fred Sturm, Chief Executive Officer commented, ''We are pleased to report that we achieved sequential growth of 29% in sales and 260% in net income in the first quarter. The sales increase was due primarily to satellite product sales which include the Company's integration of Gardiner Communication's U.S. DBS product lines acquired on April 20, 1999. We continue to see opportunities in the satellite marketplace and expect this to be key to the sales growth in the current fiscal year. In addition, we are encouraged by the recently announced investments by Sprint and MCI WorldCom in domestic wireless cable operators and look forward to capitalizing on opportunities generated for wireless products as the MMDS industry begins its rollout of two way wireless high-speed Internet access and telephony services to consumers.'' Great quarter everyone! Wow, wait until the MMDS buyouts are complete and Sprint starts purchasing millions of dollars of MMDS 2-way sectorized equipment! Hiram |
