TORONTO, ON and PALO ALTO, CA–(Marketwired – September 26, 2016) – Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSX: SEV) (“Spectra7” or the “Company”) today is announcing it expects to record revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 at between $1.0M and $1.3M. The shortfall in revenue when compared to Q1 2016 and Q2 2016 stems from slower production ramp-ups of current customers resulting in lower demand for Spectra7 products. Expected September YTD revenues of $6.1M to $6.4M remain well ahead of 2015 September YTD revenues of $2.7M. The Company expects gross margin percentage and operating expenses to be roughly equivalent to the levels reported for the first six months of 2016. All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise noted.
