With strong customer demand and improved operational efficiency, we delivered record quarterly sales and higher margins, and generated record profits in the quarter. In addition, subsequent to quarter-end, we resolved outstanding ARS issues successfully and the full cash value of our auction rate securities was redeemed, as we reported previously. On July 1, 2010, our cash and short-term investments were about $41.5 million.”

“Based on input from our customers and current backlog, we expect that revenues in the third quarter of 2010 will continue at a similar level as the last quarter. Additionally, we remain optimistic about market conditions, revenue growth potential and profit improvements in the remainder of 2010, which we believe should result in a record year for AFOP in both revenues and profits.” concluded Mr. Chang.
