In 2006, Acer will continue to dispose of non-core investments, and focus on the development
of our IT products. Acer's Board of Directors has approved of the following financial targets
for 2006: NT$400B (US$12.42B) in consolidated revenue, NT$13.3B (US$413.48M) in
profit before tax (PBT), NT$10B (US$311.12M) in PAT, NT$10.8B (US$334.75M) in
operating income to account for over 40% year-on-year growth, and EPS of NT$4.3.
Year 2006 marks a momentous occasion for Acer; it is the thirtieth year since the company's
founding. Upon achieving the 2006 annual financial targets, we will set another record high
for Acer and create a new milestone in our 30-year history. On behalf of all Acer employees, I
wish to thank all our shareholders for your unrelenting support and guidance. Together, Acer
shall continue to make significant strides in the world's PC markets.
J.T. Wang
