I like this statement from the report:

Revenue growth for the third quarter of 1997 was attributed to strong OEM and
licensing sales. OEM relationships for the
Fractal Design products Painter 5 and Art Dabbler showed great success during the
quarter. In addition, new products
released during the third quarter, including Ray Dream Studio 5, Ray Dream 3D, Art
Dabbler and Infini-D for Windows, also
contributed to this growth.
