Outlook

The Company does not supply specific order guidance, however, based upon quarter-to-date orders and the visible order opportunities, fiscal 2012 third quarter orders are expected to remain strong as compared to the $51.4 million second quarter order level.*

Based on the backlog and deferred revenue levels at the end of the second quarter, quarter-to-date third quarter orders and expected additional third quarter orders, the company expects third quarter fiscal 2012 revenues to exceed $50.0 million, as compared to $38.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.*

Based upon the anticipated improvement in third quarter gross profit margin and the expected operating expense run rate, the company believes its net income will be in the $7.0 to $9.0 million range for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.* The company expects to generate cash from operating activities in the third quarter, as operating income increases and we continue to manage inventory and accounts receivable levels.*
