Companies Facts
“Driven by the continued strong demand for smart phones and other advanced mobile devices, our III-V revenue has increased 50% to $47.1 million through the first nine months of 2010 from $31.5 million for the same period last year as a result of a combination of an expanding market and, we believe, increasing our market share at several of our power amplifier circuit partners during the year,” said Dr. John C.C. Fan, the Company‘s president and chief executive officer. “III-V continued its momentum in the third quarter, increasing 16% year-over-year. These results reflect the strength of key end markets and reinforce the value proposition of our III-V transistor technolo- gy.”
The Company‘s overall gross margin was 32.3% in the third quarter of 2010, compared with 32.6% in the same period of 2009. Year-to-date through September, the gross margin was 28.1%, compared with 29.3% for the same period in 2009. The lower year-to-date gross margin reflects delays in receipts for government programs in the first quarter, which resulted in manufacturing inefficiencies.
“III-V revenue growth continues to be strong and we do not expect the normal seasonal decline in the fourth quarter,” Dr. Fan said. “Although we expect military display revenues to remain solid in the fourth quarter, on a full-year basis these results have been affected by a weak first quarter related to delays in the procurement cycle. Accordingly, we expect to achieve the low end of our annual revenue guidance of $120 million to $130 million for 2010. Although we have invested $9.7 million in capital equipment and repurchased $5.4 million of our stock during 2010, our balance sheet has remained very strong. We had $110.5 million in cash and marketable
securities at September 25, with no long-term debt.” Furthermore, Kopin is the recipient of the Recognized Innovator Award for Mobility from the Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA). The Company won the honor for its Golden-i®
Mobile Computing
Headset, which was also selected as Best in Tour by the more than 900 attendees of the 2010 Technolo- gy Services World (TSW) conference in Las Vegas.

eica Microsystems is bringing its new A series to the market especially for the requirements in
production of printed circuit boards or medical pro- ducts: The Leica A60 F and A60 S stereomicroscopes make products and components optimally visible, enable subassemblies to be processed easily, and increase productivity. The Leica A60 has a magni- fication range from 5x to 30x, which permits detail observations as well as an overview of the specimen. With 46mm, the Leica A60 also provides the lar- gest object field of its class. Thanks to the patented FusionOpticsT technology, the Leica A60 provides a depth of field of 13.6mm in the lowest zoom level - time-consuming refocusing of higher components is no longer required.

ife Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE), a provider of innovative life science solutions, has
established a new standard in accuracy for next ge- neration sequencing. By adding an Exact Call Che- mistry (ECC) proprietary probe to its market leading ligation chemistry, the company has demonstrated greater than 99.99% average single-read accuracy. This high-accuracy data is essential for the detection of minor variants in heterogeneous samples, a critical
