Neoware, a manufacturer of stripped-down computers known as thin clients, reported a net loss of $199,000, or 2 cents a share, on revenue of $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30.

The figures compare to $2.8 million revenue and a loss of $723,000, or 11 cents a share, for the same quarter the year before, the company said.

A total of 31 percent of Neoware's revenue for the quarter came from new customers, of which there were 170, the company said.

Neoware thin clients use a modified version of Red Hat's Linux operating system called NeoLinu, designed to easily plug into Windows networks. Motorola invested in the company in 1998.
