Our Canadian operations are located in Burnaby, British Columbia where we lease 241,000 square feet of
office space in five separate buildings. These locations support a significant portion of our product
development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and test activities. We also operate ten additional research &
development centers: four in Canada, three in the US, two in Ireland and one in India.
We have fourteen sales offices worldwide, with locations in Europe, Asia, and
North America.
All of our offices are in leased premises. We also own two buildings on approximately 19 acres of land near
our Canadian headquarters in Burnaby. The property was purchased as a development site and is being held
with the eventual potential of building our own facility to replace our existing leased Burnaby premises.
In January 2003, we announced our intention to close four of our research and development sites located in
the US, Ireland and India. We will also close five of our sales offices located in the US and Europe.
