This is the seventeenth consecutive quarter with revenue growth over the year ago quarter. Operating profits and net profits continued to improve significantly from the year ago quarter. As a result, we generated both record operating profits and record net profits in 2007. More importantly, our balance sheet grew stronger in 2007, with our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of 2007 increasing by $5.3 million to $36.5 million from a year ago."

"In 2007, we made solid progress with customers, product technology and in operations. As these factors continue to improve, we remain encouraged about the opportunities we see in the year ahead. We expect that revenues for the coming quarter will grow sequentially and be in the range of $9.2 million to $9.7 million, and that 2008 will be another record year for AFOP. Additionally, with continued focus on operational efficiencies, we expect to generate higher operating profits in 2008 while continuing to invest in growth opportunities for our business." concluded Mr. Chang.
