Hello Benedict, So glad to see you are still with us. Yes I had heard there was a delay in the Olea order. I'm hopeful we will see those revenues shortly. I think we have a great chance at some new additional revenue from both the communications side as well as the microprocessor side of the company. Java seems to be gaining steam in the embedded world and I do believe we are firmly entrenched in the middle of it. Alot of companies have had a chance to evaluate the chip and could be making decisions to use or not this year. I'm betting we will have some pleasant surprises in the days and months ahead. Regards, Cap

>Looks to me like they are expecting $3.3M in revenue between now and May 31 (the end of the fiscal year), and that they had expected this revenue earlier. However, if you read on you see that they will also incur costs that they had expected earlier: Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 68.1% for the six months ended November 30, 1998 compared to 49.2% for the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This increase is due in part to lower profit margins on the Company's $3.3 million kiosk application order compared to profit margins typically associated with the Company's other product lines. The remainder of the kiosk order, which is scheduled to be shipped during the balance of fiscal year 1999, is anticipated to put upward pressure on the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the current fiscal year when compared to corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year.
