Business Wire, March 13, 2007
HONG KONG -- ACL Semiconductors, Inc. (OTCBB:ACLO) announced today that a letter to shareholders has been released to keep investors informed of company progress and goals ahead for 2007.
Dear Shareholders:
I want to take this opportunity to briefly communicate events that we
hope will influence our value as shareholders for 2007.
Highlighted Developments
We are pleased to report that we have recently established a strategic
distribution alliance with Semiconductor Manufacturing International
(Chengdu) Corporation ("SMIC") - the largest semiconductor
manufacturer in mainland China with ADS shares traded on the NYSE
under the ticker SMI. The newly developed relationship with SMIC
provides our existing customers with a larger array of memory products
and price points from which to choose; further, the relationship has
opened doors to attract new customers. We are confident the SMIC
relationship will contribute to an increase in revenue and gross
margins for 2007. We will provide more details about the progress of
our relationship with SMIC in the coming weeks ahead. Overall, we
remain positive about the stability of our existing memory component
distribution business for 2007.
Planning Ahead
Management is currently exploring synergistic opportunities to enhance
future shareholder value. In particular, we are exploring a business
combination with an existing factory for the assembly of consumer
electronic products on an OEM or ODM basis. The purpose of this
strategic move would be to vertically integrate our memory component
distribution business and provide for immediate increases to gross and
operating margins, especially if such a transaction enables the
consolidation of the financial results. We plan to have some positive
news to report towards this strategy in the coming weeks ahead.
Management and I wish to thank our shareholders for their loyalty.
Positive results from our directives above, we hope, will create the
landscape for enhanced shareholder value in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Alan Yang
CEO and Chairman of the Board
