Estimate Analysis: Top and bottom line results fell short of our expectations. Management stated that based on observed trends the Company’s first quarter results are likely to be seasonally slow. Also, the Company stated that sales were only modest for two specific revenue generating areas – full disk encryption drives and enterprise upgrades to full license software seats. Operating expenses were approximately $0.531 million higher than our expectation. The shortfall in top line results and higher expenses were the primary reason why the net loss was approximately $1.045 million larger then we had anticipated.
