Angeion Corp.’s (NSDQ:ANGN) FY2011 earnings for its second quarter ending April 30 reported $138,000, or 4 cents per diluted share, in losses, 75.3 percent better than the $559,000 in losses, or 13 cents per diluted share, for the same time last year.
The decreased losses amount to a 69.2 percent difference for the company’s diluted share value.
Sales decreased by less than 1 percent from second quarter FY2010’s $6.9 million to $6.8 million, reported for the second quarter this year.
The St. Paul, Minn.-based cardiorespiratory diagnostic device maker attributed the company’s stunted growth to difficulties in the market.
"While we are seeing modest improvements in some market conditions, lingering effects of the economic downturn continue to impact quarter-over-quarter results—and we experienced that in the second-quarter as revenue levels and customers continued tentative buying behaviors," said Jim Gaul, senior vice president of global sales in the report.
The company did not hold its scheduled investors’ conference call, citing management transitions. The company announced yesterday that it would be parting ways with CEO Philip Smith after less than six months on the job.
