Revenues down, Cyanotech says
Cyanotech Corp. said yesterday that its losses dropped, but revenues also fell in the last three months of 2000, as a major customer reduced purchases from the Kailua-Kona algae company.
Cyanotech reported revenues of $1.8 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, down from $2 million the same period the year before. Net losses dropped to $322,000 for the quarter, down from $3.2 million in fourth-quarter 1999. The 1999 figure included a one-time $2.8 million charge.
Sales dropped because the company’s largest customer, Spirulina International, reduced its orders, said Gerald Cysewski, chairman, president and CEO of Cyanotech. Spirulina International’s orders dropped from 17 percent to 5 percent of total sales, Cysewski said.
