DAOI - As noted, there was a $140k gain in the Q. However, they expect to recognize another gain of $140k during 2017. R&D is expected to increase a bit, but they are looking at ways to further reduce operational costs in 2017. And expect revenues to increase over 2016. Hard to say what the bottom line will look like for the year, but seems like they are in a good spot financially and to capitalize on the wave of programmable devices for the IoT and automotive markets.

hweb2, this may be the answer you are looking for?

Is there an explanation as to why there was no revenue growth from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of this year?

Anthony Ambrose

So the question on revenue growth from Q3 to Q4, they are both at very high levels for the quarter. Probably the biggest reason was that we had a couple of big systems that had acceptance process and were deferred until we get final test by the customer that is taking place here in January and February. So that’s the biggest single difference. Otherwise, with the bookings, there was significant bookings growth again.

Right. So then we can expect much better first quarter for this year then?

Anthony Ambrose

Well, we don’t give guidance on the specific quarter. And we have just never given guidance. But what I would encourage you to do is build your own models looking at what we have discussed on previous revenues, bookings, the backlog that comes into the quarter and also deferred revenue. And then I think you will be able to build up your model accordingly.
