For the year there was a loss of $2.16 million compared to net income of $1.26 million in 1994, primarily reflecting planned increases in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses as well as previously disclosed delays in product shipments to Motorola (Motorola, Inc., Schaumburg, IL, www.motorola.com) A leading manufacturer of semiconductor devices, electronics, telecommunications and satellite systems.

In eight of these customers the ft-SPARC has been designed into specific new product lines, in some cases multiple product lines, all of which are currently in the development and testing phase. Four of these customers are planning to begin field deployment of the ft-SPARC in the near future, and the rest over the course of 1996. A further eight prospective customers, including some of the largest telecom equipment manufacturers and service providers have evaluated ft-SPARC and without exception have reported positively on the product. The company expects to generate revenue in the coming year from sales of ft-SPARC to many of these prospective customers. As well as the success of ft-SPARC, sales of XM systems to Motorola's Land Mobile Products Sector remained strong in the fourth quarter.

"This year we have taken ft-SPARC from concept to reality," commented Chief Executive Officer, Mark I'Anson. "Only nine months since its launch in January we have shipped systems to half of the world's top ten equipment manufacturers and revenues from this product have grown to represent more than a third of our total revenues. "This impressive revenue growth is entirely based on systems sold for development. As those projects reach the stage of real field deployments by our customers we expect to see substantial increases in ft-SPARC revenue. Sales of our older products to Motorola continue to be strong and, coupled with the prospects for ft-SPARC, provide a solid base on which to build our business in future years." Gross product margin for the quarter was 65 percent compared to 38 percent for the like quarter last year and for the full year was 47 percent compared to 44 percent in 1994. The fourth quarter figure was impacted by one-time adjustments subsequent to a review of inventory values. The underlying gross product margin was 51 percent, itself a marked improvement from previous quarters. Research and development expenditure of $813,000 for the quarter was in line with expectations. This compares with $875,000 in the previous quarter and $454,000 in the like quarter of 1994. For the full year research and development expenditure was $2.93 million compared to $1.84 million for 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.59 million for the quarter, compared to $1.23 million in the previous quarter and $742,000 in the like quarter last year, were affected by non-recurring items totalling $270,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.14 million for the full year, compared to $2.25 million in 1994. The fourth quarter saw the introduction of Release 3 of the ft-SPARC system. This brings the product up to full compatibility with the latest release of Sun's Solaris operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and adds new communications and systems facilities which the company believes will be of great benefit in the telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance.
