Tidbit from the 10-Q. Not nice, since quarter to quarter increase is all that matters to 'the street':
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were
$5,583,611 and $4,577,362, respectively, and were $16,397,718 and $11,068,868 for the nine month periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in 1997 for the three and nine month periods is primarily attributable to the overall increased volume of orders for computer Hard Disk Drive Head Inspection Workstations and new products, primarily the Mirage tabletop video measurement system, offset in part by the inclusion in 1996 of revenues related to the Company's laser hermetic sealing systems. The Company anticipates that revenues in the fourth quarter may be somewhat less than revenues in the third quarter, with the actual difference dependent upon timing of the receipt and shipment of orders during the remaining portion of the fourth quarter. However, revenues for the entire year are expected to be at least 30 percent greater than 1996. |
