TYM Asia Time Corp

Asia Time Corporation (Amex:TYM)�(�Asia Time�), a Hong Kong-based watch movement and complete watch distributor, today commented on continuing strong revenue growth and order momentum. Chairman and CEO Kwong Kai Shun said, �Our core quartz movements and complete watch businesses continue to demonstrate solid growth despite the worldwide economic crisis. We generated approximately $40.0 million in revenue and $2.6 million in gross profit for the month of August, representing growth of approximately 51% and 55%, respectively, compared to the month of August 2007. Current backlog of approximately $3.3 million, compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2008, offers visibility to continuing order fulfillments during the fourth quarter and 2008 holiday selling season.� Asia Time views backlog as an important statistic in evaluating its level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in its business. It also cautions that backlog is only one indicator and not the most effective indicator of the ultimate profitability of its revenues. Mr. Kwong continued, �Looking ahead, to further broaden our revenue streams and reduce our reliance on third party quartz movement suppliers, we are seeking to expand our capabilities in both our core quartz movements and complete watch and emerging mechanical watch business segments where there remain significant growth opportunities long-term.� As previously reported, Asia Time is targeting revenue and net earnings growth in 2008 of more than 50% compared with 2007. Management plans to hold its first quarterly conference call with investors when it reports financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Information about the live conference call and webcast will be forthcoming. About Asia Time Corporation Asia Time is a watch movement and complete watch distributor headquartered in Hong Kong.
