        February 1 news, Japan's semiconductor test equipment maker Advantest announced yesterday that it will acquire China's Taiwan printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer Shin Pu Technology, but the specific acquisition amount, schedule was not disclosed              Advantest said that Shin Pu Technology has 264 employees, PCB suppliers, in the booming electronics industry in Taiwan engaged in the production of PCBs, assembly. Shin Pu Technology also acquired the U.S.-based R&D Altanova in 2021, a company engaged in the design, manufacture and assembly of test boards. The combination of R&D Altanova's high performance/high density PCB design technology and HPC's production capacity will enable Edelman to expand its high level test board manufacturing base in Asia and provide a turnkey solution to its customers. 
        Edelman said that after the completion of the acquisition, Shin Pu Technology will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Edelman's U.S. subsidiary. 
        It is worth noting that Edelman announced its financial results for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022/23 (April-December 2022) after market hours on January 31. Although affected by the shrinking demand for consumer chips such as smartphones and PCs, the high performance of chips also led to an increase in demand for testing, filling the gap of the decline in the number of consumer chips produced, and benefited from the depreciation of the yen, driving Edelman's consolidated revenue to jump 37.6% to 412.799 billion yen, consolidated profit to jump 59.4% to 129.140 billion yen, and consolidated net profit to jump 63.4% from the same period last year. Consolidated net income jumped 63.9% to 99.806 billion yen, a record high for both revenue and profit for the same period. 
        Advantest maintains its financial forecast for the current year (April 2022-March 2023), with consolidated revenue estimated to increase 31.9% to 550 billion yen, consolidated operating income estimated to increase 48.2% to 170 billion yen, and consolidated net income estimated to increase 48.9% to 130 billion yen, with annual net income set to reach a record high.
