With respect to our CDMO business, fiscal year 2017 was a record year for revenues, topping $57 million and representing 30% revenue growth over the prior fiscal year. While we are pleased at the continued year over year revenue growth, we have also recently seen unanticipated decreases in manufacturing demand from our largest customer and a recent regulatory filing delay from our second largest customer which will have some impact on our ability to grow the revenues from our CDMO business in fiscal year 2018 and could impact our ability to achieve overall profitability by the quarter ending July 31, 2018. However, we believe this to be temporary delay in revenue growth during fiscal year 2018 and have recently secured four new customers and are continuing to focus on securing additional customer business in order to better diversify our customer base. Our goal is to maintain profitability for Avid over the short term while positioning the business for long-term growth and attracting the resources necessary to continue to advance our promising research and development efforts.

Is anyone really surprised? Goal stated by management fails to be met. The Steve King run company is a debacle this past quarter. Lack of accountability starts at the top. Get rid of the BOD.

not a chance in hell with retracting margins, revenue declining and bloated headcount. Had the directors took a pay cut it would have showed a lot toward moving to profitability but that didn't happen.
