Pretax profits were $46,567 as compared to a $2.5 million loss in the previous quarter and a profit of $32,672 for the third quarter of 1998. Steve Fryer, Pen's President and CEO said, "We are growing in line with our forecasts and are very pleased with these results and the trends, both short and long term. After the divestiture of two non-core divisions in early 1999 and their associated losses, we have focused on our contract manufacturing and power supply divisions that are now showing internal growth in excess of 50% on a quarterly basis." Fryer added, "This is the first time in four consecutive quarters that the Company is reporting profitable operations, and with our $15.8 million backlog we feel that continued profits are sustainable. Business is very strong and backlog continues to expand. Fourth quarter revenues and profits look even stronger than the third quarter as we gear up to meet the increasing market demand. Pen is on-target to show annual revenues in excess of $19 million as compared to $12.2 million of continuing operations in 1998, an increase of 55%."
