"Our third-quarter 2001 revenue is in line with the revenue forecast range we provided on August 15th. As expected, we continued to
experience order cancellations and pushouts throughout the quarter from our OEM customers as their customers decreased capital spending plans," said Doug Schatz, chairman and CEO. "We did not experience any delays as a
result of the tragedy on September 11th. We are currently reviewing further cost reductions company-wide as we continue to reposition the company to operate efficiently at this lower level of order activity."
