That depends on what your definition of the "near future" is. According to the companys web-site, the next quarterly financials are not due to be announced until July 28th. Besides, in my opinion there will be no surprises in the next financials ... continued record revenue increases, profitability for the imaging division, and increasing revenues on the wireless side combined with large amounts spent on R&D and marketing resulting in continued losses for the wireless division (hopefully all this resulting in overall profitability when consolidating the numbers for the two divisions). I would suggest that what will drive the company in the "near future" will be ongoing news releases announcing further partnerships, agreements, and sales, on the wireless side of the business, combined with progress towards their stated objective of obtaining a senior exchange listing.
