Net sales for the Irvine-based manufacturer of multilayer circuit boards and back panels increased 49%, to $34 million compared to $22.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1987. Financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 1987 have been restated to include the results of Symtron Corp., which was acquired in May, 1987.
