TEAC’s Singaporean owners TTA Holdings yesterday released their profit statement for the year ending 30 March. In good news for the consumer electronics supplier, profit has increased to just over $6.6 million from the previous year’s figure of $4.5 million. Revenue has also increased; up from $42.2 million in 2007 to $55 million in 2008.

TEAC is currently active in the Australian market with small-to-medium sized LCD flat panels, portable DVD players and set top boxes.

This is the first time TTA Holdings has posted a profit statement since originally listing on the Australian Stock Exchange. The TEAC brand has had a troubled 30-year history in Australia, with a previous incarnation collapsing despite generating much greater revenue than the 2008 figure.
