Beehives growth can be attributed to the simultaneous expansion of As the computer industry. goes the industry, so goes the company, Merrill says. But Beehive is expecting to proportionately increase its percentage of sales above and beyond growth within the industry.

Systems for every need rs approximately 2.8 percent of the computer terminal market, and in 1977, it expects to control 4.6 percent ($20 million) of the industrys annual $454 million sales. The Salt Lake company will increase its percentage of the $505 million market in 1978 when sales are expected to reach $35 million or 6.9 percent of the market share. Projecting even further, the company plans to move to 7.6 percent in 1979 and to 8.3 percent in 1980 with sales years of $43 million and $51 million, according to Cliffords estimation. Not surprisingly, Clifford attributes part of the companys success to a broad international sales base. With sales and marketing personnel traveling to all 50 states and 34 foreign countries, Beehive has some 500 active customer contracts. The company rates itself in the top five of eight major competing companies, and if predictions hold true, Beehive will move in both rank and sales. Eventual physical expansion of facilities seems inevitable. Beehive presently an 80,000 sq. ft. occupies building at the Salt Lake International Center and leases an adjacent 15,000 sq. ft. facility. Available property will allow for construction of an additional 43,000 sq. ft. of production space when needed, Merrill told some 25 shareholders at the meeting. Technical sophistication and industrial competition within the computer industry have caused computer component and manufacturing prices to decrease by about 75 percent over the past three years. Ironically, total computer sales have gained by 30 percent nationally over the same period. But the overall cost of computer belink terminals, the tween man and the computer, and Beehive's mainstay of business, has remained unchanged since 1974. ia o' The companys anticipated growth is already taking shape. Beehive plans to open four new U.S. sales offices this year. Before closing the anBeehive nual meeting, shareholders, voting 715,000 shares in person and by proxy, unanimously elected all four of Beehives board wrere members. Dr. Donald G.
