However, for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, March posted a loss of $4.7 million. By comparision, the company had a net loss of $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2008.
“Q3 results demonstrate continued progress towards achieving the company’s FY2009 strategic objectives in a challenging economic environment as evidenced by on-going revenue growth and diversification, a second consecutive quarter of positive operating earnings and strong positive cash flow” Peter Strom, president and CEO, said in a news release.
The company is maintaining its original guidance for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2009 of revenue in the range of $100 million to $115 million.
