Dallas, Texas 03/13/2014 (FINANCIALSTRENDS) – IMRIS Inc(NASDAQ:IMRS) the medical equipment and devices manufacturer saw its stock value shed weight at the markets post its reporting of 4Q and full year 2013 operations on 4th March. Since then the stock has been recouping the losses in small measure and these efforts culminated on 12th March, when the stock shot up by a huge 9.7 percent to reverse some of the losses its shareholders had suffered since beginning of this year.
Investors Left High and Dry
The sell off had occurred when the company reported a big dip in its revenue for the year, resulting in mounting operational losses. Its revenue for Fy13 was down to $46 Million, which was well below its Fy12 and Fy 11 revenue numbers.
Lowlights For 4Q
Gross profits slid to $15.6 million for the year, as cash flow dropped in the fiscal.

Over all, its operating losses almost doubled to $42 million for the year from its Fy 11 losses of $20.9 million and were substantially higher than its $27.7 million losses in Fy12.
