Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFOP), an
innovative supplier of fiber optic components, subsystems and
integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today
reported its financial results for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2009.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $6,951,000, a 10%
decrease from revenues of $7,723,000 recorded in the second quarter
of 2009. The Company recorded net income for the third quarter of
2009 of $271,000. This compares to net income for the second
quarter of 2009 of $432,000.
Included in expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009
was $29,000 of stock-based compensation charges under FAS 123(R).
Included in expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $34,000 and $22,000 of
stock-based compensation charges under SFAS 123(R),
respectively.
Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“Customer demand was lower than expected during the last quarter,
even though we did see many activities on new projects. However,
despite the lower revenue than projected, we are pleased that AFOP
was able to adapt to changing demands and maintained profitability
in the quarter. During the quarter, we strengthened our balance
sheet. Compared with the previous quarter, our inventory level was
reduced, and our cash and investments, including our ARS rights,
increased by $1,091,000 to $41,854,000.”
“We believe the worst of the industry downturn is behind us. We
are looking forward to increases in our business in the coming
years. To be prepared and to take advantage of opportunities in the
downturn, we have recently completed a factory expansion in China,
which we believe will facilitate future growth.
“Regarding the fourth quarter of 2009, we expect that demand
will begin to recover and revenues will resume growing. With gross
margin in a similar range as in the third quarter, the Company
expects to deliver another consecutive profitable quarter and a
profitable fiscal year 2009,” concluded Mr. Chang.
