Excluding results from discontinued businesses in the year-ago quarter, the company earned $2.6 million, or 9 cents a share, in the second quarter last year.

 

Revenue fell to about $42.4 million from $47 million in the prior year period.

 

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected earnings per share of 4 cents on revenue of $41.5 million. The estimates typically exclude items.

The company maintained its fiscal 2009 guidance, saying it expects revenue to range from $170 million to $175 million, which would be a decline of 3.7 percent to 6.4 percent from 2008.

 

Wall Street analysts expect revenue of $172.2 million.
