TABLE
Years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
$264,075,000, compared to $165,471,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, an
increase of 59.6%. Revenues from sales of networking products and optical
transmission products were 81.5% and 18.5%, respectively, of total revenues
during the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to 76.1% and 23.9%,
respectively, of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 1997.
Revenues increased as a result of a larger sales force, greater marketing
efforts and greater market acceptance of the Company's products, both
domestically and internationally. The increase in sales of networking products
during the year ended December 31, 1998 over 1997 was the result of an
increased number of networking products available for sale and a larger sales,
marketing and customer support organization to support such sales. International
sales accounted for approximately 59.3% of revenues for year ended December 31,
1998, as compared to 59.8% of revenues for year ended December 31, 1997.
Gross Profit; Write-down of Discontinued Products. Gross profit for the
year ended December 31, 1998 was $101,791,000 compared to $70,762,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1997. The changes represented an increase of $31,029,000
or 43.8% for the year ended December 31, 1997. Gross Profit as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 42.8% during the year ended December 31, 1997 to 38.5%
for the year ended December 31, 1998 as a result of intense price competition
from competitors. The Company had planned to compensate for such price
competition by introducing new lower cost products during the latter half of
1998. However, while the Company did begin shipping such products during the
last quarter of 1998, they were introduced too late in the year to make
meaningful contributions to revenue.
During the last quarter of 1998, the Company determined to discontinue
some of its low-end networking products that were not sufficiently profitable
and this resulted in a one time write-down of $3,101,000.
