Gross profit was US$8.58 million representing a decrease of 56.4% compared to the same period last year and a 24.6% decline quarter-on-quarter.
Total operating expenses were US$5.84 million in the first quarter compared to US$8.30 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The company says the sequential decline in operating expenses was mainly due to reduced sales and marketing activities in the quarter.

The firm's cash balance and short-term bank deposits was about US$144.1 million at the end of the quarter.
