Will Atkinson
July 11, 2007

Medical imaging company Vital Images, Inc. (Nasdaq: VTAL) revealed disappointing second-quarter preliminary results and cut its annual revenue guidance.

Speaker manufacturer Directed Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DEIX) lowered its income guidance to between $0.95 and $1.05 per share, blaming lower-priced Sirius radio units.

On a 27% plunge in revenue, Amityville, N.Y.-based Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co. (Nasdaq: HITK) swung to a fourth-quarter loss.

These are the biggest percentage losers in Wednesday's trading among companies with market capitalizations under $500 million:
