Until recently, it’s been kind of a tough road for Spy Optics (publicly traded under the corporate name of Orange 21). Though sales grew from $22.3 million in 2002 to $42.4 million in 2006, profits of $911,000, $500,000, and $807,000 in 2002 through 2004 gave way to losses of $1.7 and $7.3 million respectively in 2005 and 2006. Gross profit, at 51 percent in 2002, had fallen to 41 percent in 2006.
