Merge Technologies of Milwaukee was hurt by disappointing end-user sales during its second quarter. The company's revenues dropped 9.5% for the campaign (end-June).
Revenues were $1.9 million, compared with $2.1 million in 1997. The company posted a net loss of $683,000, compared with net income of $247,000 in the same period last year.
