He brought accounting and engineering operations to Roosevelt Fifty employees dropped to 35, with the numbers efficiently distributed between the two offices. The proof of his leadership is evident: During 1993, ROS converted $4.2 million in debt to equity, allowing it to' turn its first profit ever during the third quarter. As new strategies were implemented and markets tapped, growth mushroomed. In 1991, the companys revenue was $700,000; saw $1.6 million in revenue; "93 jumped to $2.6 million, and 94 nearly doubled that, at $4.2 million. This year, the company can realistically expect to surpass $6 million, possibly even reaching $8 million by the end of 95. Flood and weather instrumentation devices are also marketed by ROS, and the company will soon expand to mining and irrigation. The patented liquid level sensor has been approved in Texas for the measurement of oil for sale, a "paperless custody transfer" that is unique in the ail industry. Light manufacturing of the electronic system components here in the Basin is also in the future. The computerized control systems of ROS have endless applications, particularly as the world moves into the Information Age. Richens-Fie- ld 5. Card Of Thanks . cs Assistant. - i. POOR COPY ; |
