Revenue growth of 66% year-to-year is the result of underlying growth in our base business and some upside Upside The potential dollar amount by which the market or a stock could rise. Notes: This is basically an educated guess on how high a stock could go in the near future. See also: Bull, Downside volatility in Q4 2006. In terms of underlying growth, demand for all major product families increased in 2006, the most significant increase coming from demand for flip chip A chip packaging technique in which the active area of the chip is "flipped over" facing downward. Instead of facing up and bonded to the package leads with wires from the outside edges of the chip, any surface area of the flip chip can be used for interconnection, which is typically done heat spreaders used in high-performance, high-speed corporate switches and routers. We believe the Company will continue to achieve design wins in this end market leading to further growth. The upside volatility in Q4 was primarily the result of sharply increased demand for baseplates used in cellular telephone basestations. This increase resulted from specific contractual deadlines of our customers rather than representing an increase in underlying demand, and the increased Q4 2006 demand is reducing Q1 2007 demand in this product family. CPS serves a portfolio of end markets with advanced material solutions, the most significant material solution being metal matrix composites Metal matrix composite A material in which a continuous metallic phase (the matrix) is combined with another phase (the reinforcement) that constitutes a few percent to around 50% of the material's total volume. (MMCs). CPS has a proprietary, leading position in MMCs today, primarily providing electronic OEMs with thermal management components to increase performance and reliability. Management believes that like plastics 80 years ago, MMCs will penetrate may different end markets over many years. Flip chip heat spreaders and baseplates for motor controllers account for a majority of the Company's revenue today and for the vast majority of the growth from 2005 to 2006. The Company is focused on achieving additional design wins with existing and new customers in these product areas and based on customer provided forecasts, management expects revenue in these product areas will continue to grow in 2007. In addition, the Company is pleased with progress in penetrating penetrating breaching the tissues of the body. new end markets, including the market for robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions components and the market for motor controllers in hybrid automotives. In 2006, the Company shipped robotic ro·bot·ic adj.
