CDT said increases in sales, licensing and royalties helped boost its third quarter 2001 revenue to $499,000, compared to $112,000 in the same period last year. That increase helped CDT cut its losses to $364,000, down from $682,000 last year.

For the first nine months of 2001, CDT reported revenues of $1.44 million and a net loss of $1.08 million, compared with revenue of $477,000 and a net loss of $1.97 million for the same period last year. Those losses included non-cash charges of $621,000 and $516,000 for 2001 and 2000, respectively, related to preferred dividends paid in stock.
