        Sis,
        Long time no hear from. I hope you are recovering from your beating
        Seriously, hope you are doing well. But right now it is still a bearish chart, although that might turn around soon . . . .

                        M-Flex Receives Notice From Singapore Securities Industry Council Denying Its Application to Withdraw the Voluntary General Offer for MFS Technology Ltd
                        Friday August 25, 6:23 pm ET
                        M-Flex Intends to Appeal Decision

                        ANAHEIM, Calif., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MFLX - News), a leading global provider of high-quality, technologically advanced flexible printed circuit and value-added component assembly solutions to the electronics industry, announced today that the Singapore Securities Industry Council (the "SIC") has denied M-Flex's application to withdraw its proposed voluntary general offer (the "Offer") for all of the outstanding ordinary shares of MFS Technology Ltd. M-Flex intends to appeal the decision immediately.

                        As previously announced, the independent special committee of the board of directors of M-Flex (the "Special Committee") has withdrawn its recommendation for the Offer. The Special Committee has determined that under the current terms the Offer is contrary to the best interests of M-Flex and its unaffiliated stockholders. The Special Committee strongly recommends that M-Flex's stockholders vote against the Offer. The Special Committee based its determination on a number of factors, including significant decreases in MFS' net sales and net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 as announced by MFS on August 7, 2006. While the Special Committee recommends against the Offer, M-Flex has not yet formally withdrawn the Offer and requires SIC consent to withdraw the Offer under Singapore law. As a result of the change of recommendation by the Special Committee, M-Flex applied to the SIC to withdraw the Offer so that M-Flex would not be required to incur the substantial expense and distraction of convening a stockholders' meeting in order to vote on a transaction that its Special Committee and management do not support. The application was denied by the SIC; however, M-Flex intends to appeal such denial. Assuming the SIC grants M-Flex's application to withdraw the Offer, M-Flex will also withdraw the Form S-4 registration statement that was filed on June 27, 2006, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Offer. If the SIC does not grant such application, M-Flex may be required to convene a stockholders' meeting for the purpose of voting on the Offer. The closing of the Offer is conditioned on the approval of M-Flex's stockholders, including those stockholders holding a majority of M-Flex's shares entitled to vote other than shares held by WBL Corporation Limited and its affiliates (i.e., a majority of the minority).


                        M-Flex intends to continue discussions with the SIC with respect to its application to withdraw the Offer and will provide a further update once those discussions are resolved.

                              I hope not for MM's sake and all those in it. Here's a weekly chart and possible scenarios.

                              1. Best case scenario: yesterday was the final shoulder beginning to be formed in an inverted head and shoulders pattern. Buy point above $25.20, with target around $33 (roughly).

                              2. Worst case scenario: Another leg down for MFLX. How will we know which is which? Answer: if MFLX drops below the top of the head, $18.00 exactly, then you can forget about scenario #1.

                              3. Present scenario: wait and see. Not ripe to enter, too dangerous to short.
                              Possible short in that MFLX earned a "high pole warning" on Nov 3. Those things are always to be respected. Furthermore that $2.79 drop the other day, according to Dow Theory, says that she's going to drop another $2.79 or more. My gut tells me this one is headed lower, but that is by no means certain. Again, I hope I am wrong for the sake of others. On the bull side, yesterday's candle was an inverted hammer. That usually signals shorts covering, and also is bullish. Again, we have to watch, wait and see.

                                M-Flex Reports Financial Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2007

                                Tuesday February 6, 4:30 pm ET


                                Year-over-year Net Sales and Net Income Declined in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2007 Compared to the Prior Year Due Primarily to Price Reductions, While Performance Strengthened Sequentially and Continued Sequential Growth is Expected During Fiscal 2007

                                ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. (Nasdaq: MFLX - News), a leading global provider of high-quality, technologically advanced flexible printed circuit and value-added component assembly solutions to the electronics industry, reported today that net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 ended December 31, 2006, decreased by 11 percent to $123.9 million from $139.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Sequentially, first quarter fiscal 2007 net sales increased approximately 12 percent compared to fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, primarily due to increased sales to the company's largest customer.

                                Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 79 percent to $3.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $17.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2006. This year-over-year decrease was due primarily to reductions in prices for the company's products and reduced sales in the quarter as compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year. Sequentially, net income grew 67 percent from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and the company expects sequential growth to continue for both the top and bottom lines for the remainder of fiscal 2007, excluding any impact of the offer to acquire the outstanding ordinary shares of MFS Technology Ltd (the "Offer"). According to Phil Harding, M-Flex's chief executive officer, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the company's sales to its largest customer declined 24 percent from the same period in 2006, as a result of increased competition and reduced prices. However, sales to this customer, a leading handset maker, increased 12 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. In addition, sales to M-Flex's second largest customer, another leading handset manufacturer, grew sequentially 23 percent from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 to the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

                                The company's gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were approximately 12 percent and within the near-term gross margin range of between 10 to 15 percent announced previously by the company. M-Flex believes the lower gross margin range, compared to an earlier range of 18 to 22 percent, was driven primarily by pricing pressures and a continuing trend toward higher component content. Going forward, M-Flex expects that pressure on its margins will continue, but that the effects of these drivers can be partially offset by the leveraging of fixed costs over increasing sales. The company believes it can remain competitive in the market while continuing to have the capital resources needed for expected growth at the 10 to 15 percent gross margin range, not taking into consideration any effects of the Offer.

                                "While our largest customer represented 74 percent of our revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2007, sales to all other customers increased by 79 percent in the first quarter compared to 2006. We believe this is strong evidence of our commitment to diversify our customer base while continuing to meet the needs of our largest customer. Our second largest customer represented 14 percent of our sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and we remain optimistic about our ability to increase sales to this customer in 2007, although we expect some quarterly fluctuations to occur. In addition, we now expect another customer to become a 10 percent customer in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007," Harding said.

                                According to Harding, M-Flex is focusing broader attention on its research and development activities with the goal of fine-tuning and strengthening the company's ability to provide customers with innovative product solutions utilizing M-Flex's proprietary know-how and technologies. The company is forming a new business group for the company's patented embedded magnetics technology to concentrate on advancing this technology and identifying the most optimum market opportunities. While M-Flex's patented embedded magnetics technology can reduce the size and increase the efficiency of circuitry used in power supplies, including universal power adapters for mobile electronic devices, it remains uncertain as to when revenue might be generated from this technology. In addition, M-Flex has now developed and has working prototypes for an ultra-thin camera module, which is substantially thinner than the average high-pixel module currently available in the market and is beginning to market this module now.

                                "Our production ramp-up of camera modules for a manufacturer of IP phones, which was initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, is continuing. However, we did not receive production level orders in the first quarter from the two second-tier mobile phone manufacturers based in Asia as we had expected, and it is unclear as to whether we ultimately will receive production orders from them. While M-Flex expects in the longer term to have the opportunity to participate in the large and expanding camera phone market, as a percentage of total sales, these sales are not expected to contribute meaningfully to total revenue during the current fiscal year.

                                "We continue to install additional equipment at the new MFC2 expansion, and we expect that other equipment will be added throughout fiscal 2007 to meet production needs. As previously announced, the expanded facility is expected to increase M-Flex's total production capacity by 25 percent," Harding said.

                                M-Flex filed its amended registration statement on Form S-4 related to the Offer on December 29, 2006 and, on January 24, 2007, received comments from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the amendment. M-Flex is currently revising the registration statement, but does not have an estimate as to when it will next be re-filed. However, the special committee of M-Flex's board of directors continues to strongly recommend that M-Flex stockholders vote against the Offer.

                                In addition, M-Flex's case against WBL Corporation Limited, in which M-Flex was seeking to require WBL to vote against the Offer, was dismissed by the court on February 2, 2007.
