ALLIANCE FIBER OPTIC PRODUCTS, INC. ANNOUNCES
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

Sunnyvale, CA – August 24, 2015 – Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: AFOP) today announced that its board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program under which it will begin purchasing up to twenty five million dollars of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. The duration of the repurchase program is open-ended.

Under the program, AFOP could purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time through open market and privately negotiated transactions at prices depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The program does not obligate AFOP to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. The repurchase will be funded by cash on hand.

Peter C. Chang, Chief Executive Officer and President, said, "AFOP unaudited cash and cash equivalent increased to $70M in the end of July, 2015, after record financial performance in the last quarter. The combination of AFOP current market valuations, our strong cash balances and ongoing cash flow generation lead us to believe that this stock repurchase program is an appropriate use of cash. This program reaffirms our continued confidence in the company's near and long-term financial and operating performance, and our commitment to enhancing shareholder value.”
