The company's shares tumbled as low as 2-3/4 in morning trading, down from yesterday's close of 3-3/4.
White Pine, which made its announcement after the market's close, said its revenues are expected to range from $2.5 million to $2.7 million for the quarter ending April 4, compared with $2.1 million a year ago.
"Revenues from Enhanced CU-SeeMe were adversely affected...by a postponement in the shipping of Enhanced CU-SeeMe 3.0 for Windows from the first quarter until the early second quarter and by increasing competition from Microsoft's NetMeeting, Intel's Internet VideoPhone, and other low-cost, software-only desktop videoconferencing products," said Howard R. Berke, chairman, president, and chief executive, in a statement.
He added that several ongoing negotiations with original equipment makers did not close in the first quarter, but the company is making "significant progress" in the negotiations.
"While a notable number of large corporations are conducting ongoing evaluations of our enterprise-oriented intranet product [WebTerm Toolbox], the sales cycle has proven to be longer than we originally anticipated," Berke added.
The company, which raised $27 million in its IPO, has seen its stock price continue to slide from its share price of 9.
