Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were US$45.7 million, representing a 56.7% increase from US$29.1 million for the same period in 2006. Net revenues for the quarter increased by 18.8% sequentially, from US$38.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. Net revenues for the quarter exceeded prior guidance for net revenues, which was in the range of US$42.3 million to US$43.8 million, due to stronger than expected performance of the ODP business. Gross profit was $14.3 million for the quarter, an increase of $6.2 million, or 75.6%, compared to $8.2 million for the same period last year. This is attributed to the stronger contribution from our ODM business during the quarter. Gross margin for the quarter increased to 31.3%, compared to 28.0% during the year ago period. Operating expense was $12.3 million for the quarter, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 22.5%, compared to $15.9 million for the same period last year. This decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributed to continued cost cutting efforts. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$3.2 million, or US$0.07 per weighted average outstanding ADS (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss of US$6.7 million, or US$0.15 per weighted average outstanding ADS (basic and diluted) in the same period in 2006.

Net revenues for fiscal year 2007 were US$143.4 million, representing a 77.5% increase from US$80.8 million for fiscal year 2006. Revenues from the ODP business for fiscal year 2007 were US$109.6 million, and design fees and royalty income for fiscal year 2007 were US$33.8 million. Gross profit was $38.6 million for fiscal year 2007, an increase of $13.0 million, or 50.4%, compared to $25.7 million for the same period last year. This is attributed to the stronger contribution from our ODM business during the year. Net loss for fiscal year 2007 was US$3.3 million, or US$0.08 per weighted average outstanding ADS (basic and diluted), compared to a net loss of US$8.8 million, or US$0.20 per weighted average outstanding ADS (basic and diluted) in fiscal year 2006.

As part of our Sarbanes Oxley compliance we have conducted an internal control assessment. We have identified certain internal control deficiencies including material weaknesses. We are working to remedy these issues and already have action plans and remediation deadlines in place. The final results of our assessment of our internal controls will be disclosed in our 2007 20-F.

Defu Dong, TechFaith's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We believe our success this quarter was a result of our transition to an ODP provider model, coupled with core technological strengths and advancements. We believe 2007 was a significant year for TechFaith as we made considerable progress in the development and production of middle to high end and tailor-made handsets. We successfully launched 51 ODP models, which include multimedia phones and dual mode dual card handsets consisting of multiple wireless technology combinations, as well as Windows-based smartphones and Pocket PC phones. Toward the end of 2007, our successful transition to an ODP provider model enabled TechFaith to penetrate new markets and ship products to global customers in Europe, Russia, Japan, North America, Latin America, South East Asia, India, Africa and the Middle East.

In 2007, TechFaith had 199 technological patents pending which was helpful for us to establish a unique market position and build higher entry barriers to protect our products. Pursuant to this ODP strategy, the company plans to develop Mobile Internet Devices with phone function based on Windows XP and work actively with Google to develop a Google phone based on an Android operation system. At the same time, TechFaith is in the process of establishing TechFaith Interactive Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary focusing on the development and operation of wireless applications and content. The new business will enhance TechFaith's current product portfolio by adding handsets with interactive online games and professional game terminals with phone functionality. We expect to generate revenues from this new category of ODP products beginning in Q3 2008. "

Bob Huo, TechFaith's Deputy Chief Executive Officer, added, "We are encouraged by our progress in the fourth quarter, and our prospects for 2008. We expect continued revenue growth and profitability based on the development of our enriched ODP portfolio and increased orders from a globally diversified customer base. Based on our position in the handset value chain, we do not expect a near-term slow down for TechFaith. We believe there is increasing demand for middle to high-end and tailor made handsets from China and the international handset market, which continues to be robust.

We will maintain a fast growth rate in 2008, with a continued focus on the optimization of our cost structure. Despite regular seasonality in the first quarter due to the Chinese New Year and the severe snow storms in China at the end of January, we still expect sequential revenue growth with sustained profitability for the first quarter of 2008, with revenues expected to be in the range of US$48 million to US $49 million."
