TWST: We'd like to begin with a brief historical sketch of Comtech Group and a picture of the things you are doing at the present time.
Mr. Kang: Comtech is a leading customized module design service company within China. We serve the Chinese tech manufacturing industry with sales to both multinational and domestic corporations. Our customer base includes over 200 blue chip companies, primarily in three major market segments: telecom equipment, mobile handsets, and digital consumer electronics. Because of our extensive relationships within those three major segments, most investors view COGO as a good proxy for China's tech manufacturing industry. Our business does not rely on one single customer but rather from a diversified base of highly recognizable OEM/ODM customers. Through a recent acquisition we have broadened our product offering to include business and engineering services that will complement our customized module design service business. We are optimistic about our prospects for each business as we look to further leverage our installed base of China OEM/ODM customers. COGO has over 10 years of operating history, and since inception, the company has been profitable in every single quarter. I founded this company in 1995 with my initial $50,000 investment, and over that 10-year period we have successfully grown entirely through, organic growth. This is a high- growth company. Over the last five years, our average growth in net income during each year was over 70%. During the Q106, our revenues increased over 60% and net income increased over 70%. Based on the guidance that we provided for 2006, we are expecting revenues to grow over 30% and net income to grow over 60%, which would translate into pro forma EPS (excluding stock compensation) of approximately $0.52 or a 44% increase from last year. We believe that this high-growth momentum continues to be very strong and we feel confident in further growth into the foreseeable future. I hope this gives you a quick snapshot into our operations and a sense of our excitement and optimism surrounding our growth prospects in the marketplace.
