We still need further improvement in bookings to generate sustained profitability, and we continue to refine our sales and marketing efforts toward that goal.”

“The previously announced SSL order that we received during the third quarter is an opportunity for us to provide digital signage into banks throughout Mexico,” stated Ned L. Mountain, President of WEGENER. “In addition, we are pleased to further strengthen our relationship with Fox through the recently announced fourth quarter order for satellite distribution of the new Big Ten Cable Network. Growing our customer base with new customers such as SSL, while upgrading and expanding existing customers’ networks, will help us continue to improve our bookings level.”
