I will leave today's closing while I'm in this thread....... 

AFOP is consistently profitable and growing at double-digit rates. AFOP has a strong balance sheet with 70c/share cash and no debt.

AFOP will report record 1Q earnings after hours on 4/24/08. I expect double-digit revenue growth and triple digit net income growth. Despite having  grown revenues and net income each of the last 12 quarters, AFOP is only trading at 70c/share if you exclude cash. Institutions have been quietly loading up on AFOP though....NASDAQ com shows an increase of 20% in the last quarter alone.

Guidance for the 4/24 earnings release is very strong (this is from the 2007 Earnings release)...


"In 2007, we made solid progress with customers, product technology and in operations. As these factors continue to improve, we remain encouraged about the opportunities we see in the year ahead."

"We expect that revenues for the coming quarter will grow sequentially and be in the range of $9.2 million to $9.7 million, and that 2008 will be another record year for AFOP."

" Additionally, with continued focus on operational efficiencies, we expect to generate higher operating profits in 2008 while continuing to invest in growth opportunities for our business," stated AFOP's CEO Mr. Chang."
