During the second quarter our handset business performed as expected, and we experienced continued design win momentum across a broad range of models, particularly for our higher value products, stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. Sales growth remained strong in Taiwan and China. Sales in Taiwan grew more than 40% sequentially, driven by our camera flash and computing products. As a result of the investments we made to develop and roll out a broad portfolio of products for LED backlit HDTVs, we began to see increased design-in activities and recently secured our first design win and purchase order from a major television manufacturer. We remain ardently focused on the execution of our product diversification strategy.
