I am proud of the effort put forth by the management team and our employees and for the accomplishments made throughout 2007 to position InFocus to return to profitability in the future.”
Continuing, O’Malley noted, “Q4 marked significant progress in a number of key areas. We launched six new product platforms targeted at the key segments of our commercial markets. With these introductions, 80% of our product portfolio has been refreshed over the past two quarters, providing our customers with the most robust product offering in our recent history.
