Carleton Place: The charming small town where heritage and nature intertwine
Whether you’re looking to get away for the day or a long weekend, Carleton Place is a friendly town that offers plenty of options for anyone.
On a conference call in mid-May to discuss fourth-quarter results, company executives said they were optimistic about the first quarter and expected the company – which has struggled to achieve profitability – to reach the cash-flow break-even point some time this year.
“Over recent quarters, I have described how we believe that revenues would positively inflate. Although this has been later than expected, I am pleased to be able to report that this is now happening,” CEO Peter Allen said at the time.
The revised revenue forecast comes on the heels of a deal with one of the largest companies in India to provide broadband components for an India-wide4G/LTE network.
However, the company warned the increased projections are preliminary and have not been reviewed by outside auditors.
