Management Qualitative Comments "The current environment is presenting both great challenges and great opportunities for AXT," said Morris Young, chief executive officer. "While we are heading into a challenging quarter, we believe that we have established a solid foundation to build upon when markets improve. In all of our key markets, we are in a great competitive position and are actively engaged with new potential customers that can help us to broaden and deepen our footprint in the markets we serve. Our engineering, manufacturing and operations teams continue to execute well against our goals to provide a broad portfolio of high-quality products and strong customer support. Further, we have a solid business model that is allowing us to weather near-term weakness, while generating cash and delivering profitability. We believe that these factors will provide tremendous opportunity for us as the demand environment improves."
