“Our order flow in the first half of the year has been very strong to date, and we expect to start seeing the benefit of these orders in the second half of the year and 2011,” said Ming Hsieh, President and CEO of Cogent. “These orders, combined with our year-end backlog of more than $200.0 million, give us good visibility and confidence that we are well positioned to achieve our financial targets for 2010 with a strong second half of the year. While gross margins were impacted by product mix in our initial roll-out for the U.K. Post Office, we expect them to rebound and accelerate starting in the third quarter. During our second quarter we repurchased approximately $6.7 million of our stock, as we remain confident in our business and our ability to capitalize on both the near and longer term opportunities in biometrics.”
