Memry's principal SMA is a nickel-titanium alloy called nitinol. Approximately 95% of the Company's sales are to the medical device industry. Memry reported a 12.7% decline in third quarter fiscal 2007 revenue to $12.2 million and a net loss of $460,000, or $0.02 per share, compared with net income of $1.52 million, or $0.05 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Third quarter results fell short of our estimate mainly because of lower-than-projected revenue and higher-than-projected operating expenses Operating expenses The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted. . In discussing the outlook for the balance of fiscal 2007, Memry's management cautioned that it expects weakness in the Company's nitinol and polymer revenue to continue in the fourth quarter, although it looks for a more moderate drop in polymer products segment revenue year over year than in the third quarter. On a positive note, management expects new product initiatives to begin to benefit the Company late in calendar 2007 and during 2008, contributing to a resumption of revenue growth and margin expansion in fiscal 2008, especially in the second half. We project breakeven breakeven 1. The level of output or sales necessary to cover fixed expenses. Companies in industries that have high fixed costs and, consequently, high breakevens, such as automobile and steel manufacturing, are likely to exhibit large fluctuations results for Memry in fiscal 2007 and a $0.03 per share profit in fiscal 2008, excluding acquisitions. We believe that Memry's long-term prospects are bright for the reasons detailed in a Dutton Associates report dated October 26, 2006.
