<Reposted from CompuServe, thanks to Steve Ahlstrom for the original post. Looks REALLY good.> Commodore International Limited today reported sales for the second quarter, ending December 31, 1990, increased 24% to $384.1 million comparted with $310.7 million in the year ago quarter. Net income for the quarter more than tripled to $36.5 million, or $1.12 per share compared with $11.3 million, or $.35 per share in the prior year. Irving Gould, chairman and chief executive officer stated: "The December quarter was the second largest sales quarter in our history. We are pleased with the strong sales performance of our European operations, which accounted for 85 percent of total sales for the quarter. Several European countries experienced sales growth of over 50 percent." Gould concluded: "We believe that with the widespread popularity of the Amiga 500 and the growing market opportunities for our complete new range of PC products and our high-end Amiga products, we are well positioned in our effort to maintain our growth momentum." Sales growth in the second quarter was dominated by the Amiga product line which experienced unit growth of over 50 percent and revenue growth of over 40 percent. The new PC products, such as the C286-LT notebook computer, and the slim-line 386SX machine, were also very well received and resulted in strong growth in PC sales. The Commodore 64 also continued to sell briskly with unit volume and sales approximately equal to the prior year. -- Ethan How did the Computer Scientist die in the shower?
