Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 33% to $6.05 million from $4.57 million in the prior-year quarter.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 45% to $2.25 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $1.55 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 69% of revenue, operating margin 55%, pretax margin 59%, and net margin 37% for the quarter.
For fiscal 2008, total revenue increased 25% to $20.5 million from $16.5 million for the prior year, driven by a 28% increase in product sales to $18.5 million from $14.4 million for fiscal 2007.
