Icron Systems Inc. is pleased to announce that sales revenues for its contract manufacturing services (EMS) business were $375,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. These first quarter revenues represent an 87% quarter over quarter increase from Icron’s $201,000 contract EMS revenues for the fourth quarter of 1998.
