ATL expects flat Q3 revenues

Ultrasound vendor ATL reported lastweek that it is not expecting any improvement in third-quarterrevenues due to ongoing difficult market conditions in the U.S.and Europe. According to preliminary internal estimates conductedby the Bothell, WA-based company, third-quarter revenues willprobably be similar to, but will not exceed, those of the secondquarter of this year. ATL reported second-quarter revenue of $84.8million, down 5% compared to the same period a year ago (SCAN8/10/94).

ATL is pinning hopes for a recovery in part on Apogee 800,a mid-range scanner acquired through the vendor's merger withInterspec. ATL is in the midst of a worldwide roll-out of theproduct.
