Despite a slight decline in revenues from last quarter, we reduced the net loss by 29% from the previous quarter. When compared to the year ago period, revenues increased by 4%, our gross margin percentage improved to 26% as compared to 19%, and the net loss was reduced by 54%, again highlighting our strong focus on expense control. Our balance sheet remains strong with cash and cash equivalents essentially unchanged from year-end year-end also year·end

"Although the first quarter revenues were slightly below Q4, 2005, we believe the decline was temporary as orders from those affected customers have resumed at previous levels. Based on input from our customers, we expect that revenues will improve by 5 to 10 percent in the second quarter of 2006. Additionally, as we continue our focus on operational efficiencies, we are targeting further reduction in the net loss in the coming quarters," concluded Mr. Chang.
