SHERMAN OAKS, (BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 18, 2000
Sean Collins, senior vice president of Coffin Communications Group, today announced that the investor-relations agency's client Dental/Medical Diagnostic Systems (Nasdaq:DMDS) has been named to the Los Angeles "Fast 50" by the leading accounting firm Deloitte & Touche.
The Los Angeles "Fast 50" is a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in Los Angeles, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in revenues in the five-year period from 1995 to 1999.
"It is exciting for our client Dental/Medical Diagnostic Systems to receive the Deloitte & Touche `Fast 50' acknowledgment," said Collins.
"Dental/Medical Diagnostic Systems has developed a suite of cutting-edge products for dentistry, the latest of which is Forever White(TM), a revolutionary, affordable, convenient tooth-whitening system for use in the home. Working with this company and other microcapitalized companies like them is very gratifying, and seeing DMD ranked in the Los Angeles `Fast 50' is part of the reason why."
Gary Dickey, partner, Los Angeles High Technology Group for Deloitte & Touche, remarked: "Today, there are more than 22,000 high-technology companies in the United States, many of whom are competing for the same markets here in the States and worldwide. The `Fast 50' winners for Los Angeles have proven that they can compete successfully by consistently delivering technological wonders.
"We at Deloitte & Touche commend Dental/Medical Diagnostic Systems for having the vision and determination to become among the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the Greater Los Angeles region."
To qualify for the "Fast 50," a company must have had minimum revenues of $50,000 in 1995 and 1999 revenues of $1 million or more; must be a public or private company with headquarters in the five-county region; and must be a "technology company," defined as a company that produces technology, manufactures a technology-related product, is technology-intensive, uses technology in problem-solving, or devotes a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.
Winners of the 19 regional "Fast 50" programs in the United States are automatically entered in the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks the nation's top 500 fastest-growing technology companies.
The awards banquet will be held Thursday, Sept. 14, 2000, at the Loews Beach Hotel, 1700 Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica. For more information on the Deloitte & Touche Fast 50 or Fast 500 programs, visit the Web site at .com.
