"We observed a slow down during last quarter due mainly to all the
efforts the company and its employees did to obtain the final
shareholder's approval to our acquisition strategy. Furthermore, the
dollar weakness had an influence on our global revenues decrease for
an amount of 7%. The main part of our sales are done in dollar.
Nevertheless, these acquisitions done, at the end, allow us to expect
the realization of all commercial synergies. Still efforts have to be
done in this way but our employees and shareholders have already
shown their ability to go forward." commented Sylvain Boj, Chief
Executive Officer.
"Our goal is to introduce our company as an European Alternative
as an optoelectronic components manufacturer. We are going to
continue our acquisition strategy allowing both an increase in our
product portfolio and our cash position." commented Eric Delevaque,
Chairman of the Board.
