Comments From Management Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RF Micro Devices, said, "We increased revenues and profits in the December quarter by successfully executing on all facets of our growth strategy. We strengthened our number- one position in PAs, we increased our dollar content in handsets, we continued expansion into new markets with new products and we continued to strengthen our blue-chip customer base. We entered the quarter with record expectations, and we exited the quarter with record revenues. The entire organization has reason to be proud of our performance. "Our growth rate was roughly four times that of the overall handset market in calendar 2002, and we continue to expect growth in excess of the handset market as we execute on our proven growth strategy. In our core market of handsets, not only are we actively taking share against major competitors, we are also benefiting from market share consolidation as our customers tighten and streamline their supply chains. Additionally, in new markets such as wireless LAN, cellular transceivers, Bluetooth(TM), GPS and satellite radio, we continue to see significant growth opportunities in calendar 2003.>> Sounds like a company that is excited about it's future and thinks the future looks bright...who knows....down the road, I may be very happy I bought in mid $6's...and then again, she could go bankrupt and I am screwed...but the company seems to think it has a bright future, as do I, so we will wait and see what develops.....and hopefully I will be glad I have a fairly large position in RFMD...Knocking on wood as I type <ggg>
