Asia Time Reports 2008 Second Quarter Financial Results

Reports 82.7% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth and
$3.2 Million in Net Income


HONG KONG AND LOS ANGELES, August 20, 2008 - Asia Time Corporation (Amex: TYM; “Asia Time”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights
 
 
·  
Revenue growth of 82.7% year-over-year to $38.1 million, compared with $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2007
·  
71.1% increase in watch movements segment sales; and complete watch segment sales more than doubled year-over-year
·  
Net income of $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with second quarter 2007 net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share

“We are pleased to report another quarter of notable growth driven by increased sales of both our watch movements and completed watches,” said Kwong Kai Shun, Chairman and CEO of Asia Time. “We are expanding our capabilities in both our core quartz movements and complete watch and emerging mechanical watch business segments where we see significant growth opportunities.

“In addition to diversifying and expanding our own quartz movement and complete watch product portfolio, as we go forward we plan to produce and assemble mechanical watch movements and complete watches for direct sales to international brand names. The high growth mechanical watch market is vastly under-supplied and requires highly sophisticated production and skilled labor. We believe we will be at an immediate competitive advantage by being one of the highly skilled volume producers of mechanical watches in China,” Mr. Kwong added. “During the second quarter we identified two potential acquisition targets. One of the targets is a full-range manufacturer of plastic and metal watch parts and the other is a supplier of analog watches. If we are to acquire the former, we believe it will contribute to our strategy of producing low-end quartz movements in-house. If we are to acquire the latter, we believe it will result in an increased production of mechanical watches.”

2008 Second Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased 82.7% to $38.1 million, compared with $20.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Second quarter gross profit more than doubled to $5.3 million, compared with $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. Gross margin was 13.8% for the second quarter of 2008, compared with 11.3% for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of high-end products and improved economies of scale. Sales of watch movements increased 71.1% to $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. Sales of completed watches increased to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2007.

Administrative and other operating expenses totaled $727,000 for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $559,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in the 2008 period was primarily due to an increase in professional fees related to reporting requirements as a public company and additional employees and upgraded staff benefits.

Income taxes for the second quarter of 2008 were $669,000, or 1.8% of net sales, compared with $314,000, or 1.5% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in income taxes was primarily due to an increase in operating profit. The taxation rate decreased from 17.5% for the second quarter 2007 to 16.5% for the second quarter of 2008.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $3.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, based on 28.8 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with second quarter 2007 net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, based on 25.4 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 78.5% to $75.0 million, compared with $42.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2007.

Gross profit for the first half of 2008 increased 96.6% to $11.0 million, compared with $5.6 million for the first half of 2007.

Administrative and other operating expenses for the first half of 2008 totaled $2.3 million and included a stock-based business consulting fee of $700,000. This compares with administrative and other operating expenses of $2.6 million for the first half of 2007. The 2007 period includes a one-time recognition of $1.7 million of stock-based compensation pursuant escrow shares provided to Mr. Kwong related to a January 2007 private placement.
 
Year-to-date net income was $5.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, based on 27.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with net income of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, based on 24.6 million weighted average shares outstanding for the first half of 2007.
