10  Managing Director’s Review

The digital revolution of mobile telecommunication, medical, automotive and computing will continue to drive the demand for the need of higher

complexity circuitry, larger volume and smaller size Integrated Circuits (IC) packaging and Printed Circuits Board (PCB). Each of these trends calls

for more inspection for higher quality standard and ViTrox will be benefited from such development in long run. Our expanded product portfolio

in its 3 core businesses and our regional coverage put us in a good position to secure more businesses from customers in the semiconductors and

electronics assembly markets when the market recovers.

Over the past one year, we continued to stay focused and strengthened our core business in the development, manufacturing and sales of MVS,

AOI and ECS.

Machine Vision System (MVS)

ViTrox provides complete vision inspection solutions for semiconductor component test

& packaging operation. Our high speed, high accuracy MVS are mainly integrated on

automated test and vision handler to perform 2D & 3D measurements on semiconductor

components at semiconductor back-end assembly and packaging operations.

ViTrox's MVS products provide reliable, high speed and cost effective inspections to detect

semiconductor components' dimensional and visual defects automatically. The systems

typically perform 2D Mark & Orientation Inspection , Pad and Package Inspection , 3D

Lead/Ball Co-planarity Inspection, 5 Sides Pad & Package Inspection and In-tape Mark/Lead

Inspection. With capability to inspect up to 50,000 units per hour and with an installed

base of more than 6,000 systems worldwide, we are now positioning ourselves as one of

the world leading vision inspection solution provider for this market.

New and improved models of vision inspection solutions were rolled out in 2008 to meet

increasing demands. Among others, we successfully shipped and bought off the Color

Vision Inspection System for Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) & Micro Lead frame Package (MLP)

devices and low cost Light Emitting Diode (LED) Vision Inspection System. Once the market

situation improves, these solutions expect to generate new business opportunities for

ViTrox.

While we continue to enhance our capability to serve our customers with superior

inspection solution to meet increasing needs for higher speed and higher quality production

output in 2008, we successfully pursue customers to upgrade their existing old vision

inspection systems for better performance and ease of maintainability. We are proud to

say that we achieved more than 80% growth in this sector in 2008 compared to 2007. With

more than 6,000 MVS systems installed worldwide for the last 8 years since inception, we

are confident the system upgrade and replacement business will continue to grow in the

coming years.
