ASIA TIME REPORTS CONTINUING REVENUE GROWTH AND ORDER MOMENTUM Asia
Time Corporation (Amex:TYM)�(�Asia Time�), a Hong Kong-based watch
movement and complete watch distributor, today commented on
continuing strong revenue growth and order momentum. Chairman and
CEO Kwong Kai Shun said, �Our core quartz movements and complete
watch businesses continue to demonstrate solid growth despite the
worldwide economic crisis. We generated approximately $14.0 million
in revenue and $2.6 million in gross profit for the month of
August, representing growth of approximately 51% and 55%,
respectively, compared to the month of August 2007. Current backlog
of approximately $3.3 million, compared to $2.4 million at June 30,
2008, offers visibility to continuing order fulfillments during the
fourth quarter and 2008 holiday selling season.� Asia Time views
backlog as an important statistic in evaluating its level of sales
activity and short-term sales trends in its business. It also
cautions that backlog is only one indicator and not the most
effective indicator of the ultimate profitability of its revenues.
Mr. Kwong continued, �Looking ahead, to further broaden our revenue
streams and reduce our reliance on third party quartz movement
suppliers, we are seeking to expand our capabilities in both our
core quartz movements and complete watch and emerging mechanical
watch business segments where there remain significant growth
opportunities long-term.� As previously reported, Asia Time is
targeting revenue and net earnings growth in 2008 of more than 50%
compared with 2007. Management plans to hold its first quarterly
conference call with investors when it reports financial results
for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Information about
the live conference call and webcast will be forthcoming. About
