Fourth-quarter revenue of $23.3 million was up 23% from $19 million a year earlier,. Of that total, the company's manufacturing business contributed $12.5 million, about even with the prior-year period.

Net income was $1.8 million, reversing a $17 million loss the year before. Operating income in the quarter was $2.5 million — the highest in the company's history — reversing an operating loss of $12.3 million in the fiscal 2006 quarter.
