BURLINGTON, MASS.: Avid shares have held onto a 14 percent gain since the company reported second-quarter results last Thursday.

“The success of our broadcast and live sound segments this quarter is a good indication of how our ongoing engagement with audio and video customers continues to result in solutions that both anticipate their technology needs and solve business problems,” said Avid chief Gary Greenfield.
Avid finished the quarter with $46.8 million in cash and equivalents, compared to $108.8 million as of Dec 31, 2009. Long-term liabilities totaled $22.2 million versus $14.3 million.
