Taken from Briefing.com... "TPRO, Topro: We have great admiration for John Jenkins, CEO of Topro. Mr. Jenkins was the only CEO at the Y2K conferences we have attended who readily admits that his company's revenues will decline after the December 31, 1999 deadline. However, the company, which sells a CD-ROM Year 2000 assessment product for factory-floor assembly lines, hasn't shown much of a boom in Y2K revenues. They may indeed make some money in the Y2K business, but mostly, they are in the business of building factory-floor systems for manufacturing. As such, they are experts in embedded systems. But since TPRO sells their CD-ROM for only $2500, they just plain aren't going to be a huge player (from revenue perspective) in the Y2K market. (Even if they sell 10,000 CD-ROMS, it is only $25,000,000 in revenue over two years.) The CD-ROM may help them generate business from companies that decide to upgrade their factories, rather than remediate their current date code. But they won't take the Y2K world by storm with just a CD-ROM. TPRO failed our screen based on the failure to show four quarters of rising revenue and on current profitability. " briefing.com DD
