X-r- ay Ken Hanson American Medical News Mr. HEALTHGARDE CORPORATION Medical Computers for the Modern Hospital OUR NASDAQ SYMBOL IS HGRD president Dr. Martin A. Welt attributed the third quarter loss to lower sales than in prior periods of this year, higher expenses and a product mix bearing lower gross margins than in past periods. While third quarter sales were about 70 percent higher than in the comparable quar ter last year, they were con- siderably lower than in the first two quarters of the current year, reflecting some production bottlenecks as well as seasonal softness, he said. Welt also said that an unusually large quantity of lower margin goods was shipped during the recent three months, while selling and interest expenses, among others, increased. Despite these developments, however, we have entered our peak fourth quarter business season in a notably strong position, he stated. He forecast a favorable showing for the final quarter of the year, citing heavy shipments in the early weeks of the period, a substantial order backlog and the anticipated contribution from expanded production of d RADWOOD in a new facility flooring to come on line scheduled within one month. acrylic-hardwoo- Welt stated further that service irradiation activity is expected to reach peak levels during the final quarter, reflecting a growing volume of radiation sterilization of disposable medical and surgical products for several companies which have recently become Radiation Technology customers.
