AFOP Raises 2nd Quarter, 2010 Guidance

Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: AFOP), an innovative supplier of fiber optic components, subsystems and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today announced that it will raise its revenue guidance for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

For the 2nd quarter of 2010, the Company expects to report net sales above $10 million, exceeding previously stated revenue guidance provided in the first quarter conference call. This revenue level represents approximately 30% growth compared with the year ago quarter.

“The Company's higher than anticipated net sales in the second quarter of 2010 primarily reflects stronger than expected demand from customers across several lines and market segments. In addition to managing current increased customer delivery requirements, we continue our capacity expansion efforts to support our customer needs going forward,” commented Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Detailed financial results for the second quarter as well as the outlook for the third quarter of 2010 will be provided, when complete second quarter end results are announced on a conference call to be held in the week of July 19, 2010.
