Our first quarter results were in line with expectations and reflected better than normal seasonality, stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. We experienced broad based demand for our products across geographies, and we were particularly pleased to see continued strong sales into Taiwan which increased by more than 30% sequentially. As planned, we remained focused on product development with the impressive release of 25 new products during the quarter. We continued to make headway with our product diversification strategy and TV and notebook design activities. We are effectively managing our manufacturing capacity through our multi sourcing strategy, and we remain focused on maintaining our solid balance sheet and closely monitoring inventories and receivables.
