"In our quarterly earnings release on May 10, 2007, we provided revenue guidance for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $190 million to $210 million on unit volumes of 240,000 to 270,000 units," said Wayne Pratt, Syntax-Brillian's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "While the results of the quarter have not yet been finalized, we believe that revenue for the quarter will be within that range. Additionally, we believe that gross margins will be within or above the top half of the range of 15% to 17% that we had previously forecasted. "Moreover," said Pratt, "during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we collected $129.6 million of cash from South China House of Technology, our Asian distributor, and as of June 30, 2007 there were, as expected, no invoices outstanding for more than the stated 120-day terms. Finally, we continue to experience strong demand for our products and have had success penetrating additional retail accounts during the first half of 2007. As a result of this strong demand and the deployment of the proceeds of our public stock offering in May as well as the cash from the accounts receivable collections, we are raising our revenue outlook for the calendar year ending December 31, 2007 from our previous range of $950 million to $1.1 billion to a revised range of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion." Syntax-Brillian expects to report its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 no later than the second week of September.
