Optimus studies its bottom line and decides to stay at school

"We will produce computers as long as it will be profitable," said the company's president, Michal Lorenc. Within the next few weeks Optimus is to supply over 20,000 computers worth around zl.60 million to over 1,000 schools in central Poland and hopes to win another similar tender this year. Thanks to already won contracts the company will manage to make up the net loss of zl.2.5 million it incurred in H1 this year. "We will finish this year in the black," said Lorenc. The company plans to widen its product offer to small electrical equipment such as MP3 players. Optimus also plans to restructure the company within the coming weeks. "We would like to look into cutting costs," stated Lorenc. Although he refused to reveal any details, he declared that the board will first of all concentrate on increasing the company's revenues. "The minimum plan is a 10% growth rate," said Lorenc, "However, our intentions are much more ambitious." (Parkiet, p. 3) E.B.
