Leslie Klein made the comments as the firm released its first-quarter results, which showed revenues climbed 22 per cent, year-over-year, to $1.82 million. C-COM’s after-tax profit in the three-month period that ended Feb. 28 jumped to $16,862 from $1,635 in the first quarter of 2017.
“We are pleased with the increase in sales over the same period last year, which is an indicator of improved market conditions,” Klein said in a statement.
