Another business highlight of the quarter is to have our proprietary designed and developed high-speed railway ATP product certified to the most stringent European safety standard SIL4. This is a strong testament to Hollysys R&D capabilities in developing its proprietary products in the leading end-markets. This certificate, being the first grant to a Chinese local company for the railway ATP product, is a head start for Hollysys to get more of its safety products in high-speed railway and subway segments certified to world-class standards. We will continue to enhance our market position both in the domestic and international arena by introducing more high-quality proprietary products," commented by Dr. Wang.
