Commenting on the quarterly results, Ofer Shofman, Valor's President and CEO said: "As previously reported, the results for the third quarter of 2006 were lower than originally expected due to a small number of significant orders by major customers that slipped from Q3 and are expected to materialize over the following quarters. At the same time, we remain optimistic about our future performance and continue to implement our development programs and business strategy across all regions." As an example, Shofman mentioned that the company has doubled the number of agents and distributors of its products in Asia over the past six months, and explained: "This increase comes to meet the growing demand for the type of solutions that we provide and will further support the consultative selling approach that we are implementing. The consultative sales process is a complex process, intended to achieve larger sales and bring higher revenues, and the steps that we are taking now are intended to ensure that our investments will bear fruit in the future."
