While the Company's final results will not be released until mid-August, Centrinity indicated its revenue for the third quarter was approximately $3.6 million - up 92% from the $1.9 million generated in the third quarter of 1999 after accounting for the June 24, 1999 acquisition of the SoftArc group on a pro forma basis, and up 44% from the $2.5 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company signed contracts for new orders totaling roughly $4.6 million during the third quarter.
