LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES – Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc.'s second-quarter net profits slipped 27% despite a big jump in revenue.

Sales rose 42% for the period ended June 30 to $139.5 million. Sales were up 13% sequentially, and profits nearly tripled.

First-half sales are up 39% year-over-year to $262.5 million. The company’s operations in China and Singapore posted $143.3 million in revenues in the period, up 23% year-on-year due mainly to new turnkey programs for major customers. Its Philippine operations posted $76.9 million in revenues, bolstered by increased turnkey manufacturing programs.
