"In the quarter ended March 31, 1997, prior to the acquisition of Visigenic, Borland reported standalone revenues of $37.2 million, compared with $46.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, which includes the results of Visigenic -- a 25 percent increase. "
"While external factors relating to the economic crisis in Japan resulted in a slowdown of our sales in that region, we were able to closely manage our expenses and meet our bottom-line objectives,"
