Trading around 2 3/16...going higher: Digital Recorders Reports Preliminary Third Quarter Sales - 100 Percent Increase from Year Ago Quarter - RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ --Digital Recorders, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBUS - news) today announced record sales, on a preliminary basis, for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999. The company reported third quarter sales climbed 100 percent to $6.6 million from $3.3 million in the 1998 third quarter. For the nine month period, sales rose to $15.6 million as compared to $8.5 million for the same period a year ago; an increase of 84% on continuing operations (the company divested the HIS business unit in the second quarter last year). Final results, including earnings, are expected to be released on or about November 5, 1999. ``Third quarter shipments reflect the continuing improvements at DRI. Our backlog is exceptionally strong, exceeding $13 million with deliveries extending into the year 2000.
