if condition issue

Hi, Unix Gurus,
I got some issue with my script.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
while read newstatus
do
if [ $newstatus="C" ]; then
        echo "It is finished "
else
        echo "Not Finished"
fi
done <checkresult.txt

basically, I want to read one file (the file only contains one word, but it dynamically changed), Based on the string it read do something. I my script, if it read as C, it should print out "It is finished" otherwise, "Not Finished", but I only got "It is finished", no matter what input is.
Smilie

Thanks in advance
