MRV Commun CEO: Receivables Increase Offset By Rev Growth

Dow Jones Newswires

NEW YORK -- MRV Communications
Inc.'s (MRVC) increase in accounts
receivable in the latest quarter was more
than offset than the company's revenue
growth, according to Chief Executive
Noam Lotan.

"Our sales have increased sequentially
by more than 25%," causing a relative
decrease in receivables, Lotan said in an
interview with CNBC.

Elsewhere, Lotan said, MRV is confident
that it will be able to squeeze a profit
from newly acquired Whittaker Xyplex
Inc., which has been ailing in recent
quarters.

"Our ability to work with engineers and
motivate them is the key to nursing any
company back to health," Lotan said.

MRV earlier this year bought Xylan from
Whittaker Corp. (WKR) for $35 million in
cash, plus warrants to purchase 421,402
shares of MRV common stock.

MRV recently was trading at 27 1/2,
down 7/16, or 1.6%.
