Our revenues were $42,876,873 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 19% or $10,256,588 as compared to $53,133,461 in the corresponding quarter in 2009. The decrease of revenues in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009 was mainly due to a portion of our activities for our OEM customers had shifted to "consignment manufacturing" where the components were provided to us by the customers and we were not required to purchase such materials. Effects on revenues and profitability under the consignment arrangement would be a) lower revenue figures since there would be no pass-through from the cost of components and revenues would only be the processing fee charged to the customers, b) unaffected earnings since our processing fee is based on the complexity in manufacturing and not directly related to the cost of materials, and c) higher margins. The percentage of "consignment EMS" revenue out of total EMS revenue for the 2nd quarter of 2010 as compared to the previous quarter was 14.2% versus 6.2%. Our revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $93,856,142 or an increase of 15% from $81,950,018 from the same six months of 2009.

The reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a proportionally higher amount of "consignment manufacturing" activities as explained above. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $85,098,131 or 90.7% of revenues as compared to $76,105,167 or 92.9% of revenues for the corresponding six-month period in 2009.
