Adata Technology has reported an about 15% sequential decrease in revenues for August 2012. The memory module maker revealed that sales of its standard module products declined substantially, but those of its SSD and external HDD devices grew to the highest monthly level thus far in 2012.

Adata announced August revenues of NT$2.1 billion (US$70.4 million), down 14.95% on month and 14.8% on year. Revenues for the first eight months of 2012 slipped 2.7% from a year earlier to NT$18.63 billion.

Adata indicated that sales generated from its NAND flash and other non-DRAM product segments accounted for a combined 68.15% of company revenues in August, thanks to strong sales of SSDs and external HDDs. The two product lines collectively accounted for nearly 30% of Adata's overall revenues in August, highlighting the company's efforts to diversify its revenue streams.

Of Adata's accumulated revenues from January through August, DRAM products accounted for 42% following NAND flash and other non-DRAM products with 58%, the company said.

Adata predicted that its business would experience a particularly weak third quarter as consumers are expected to make purchases later in 2012. The company is relatively optimistic about its performance in the last quarter of the year.

In other news, fellow memory module company Transcend Information has posted revenues of NT$2.09 billion for August 2012, down 7.7% sequentially. Accumulated revenues from January through August totaled NT$16.38 billion, a 15.9% decline from the same period of 2011.
