“Although we were disappointed with our financial performance in the fourth
quarter, we achieved many successes during the year,” said Brian Sharples,
president and chief executive officer. “Revenues for the year grew 29%, with
revenues from continuous services growing at 34%.”
The company said it believes that strong top-line growth will continue in
1998, but cautioned investors that ongoing reorganization efforts may impact
earnings growth in the first half of the year.
