We expect to increase our worldwide presence in illustration, digital imaging, and digital video
software markets with new software releases and updates as these markets continue to grow. We have
announced plans to introduce new versions of our Adobe Photoshop, Adobe GoLive, Adobe LiveMotion,
Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects products in fiscal 2002. We will also strive to continue growing
our retail presence for Photoshop Elements in order to gain market share in the growing mid-range digital
imaging software market. Finally, we intend to focus on developing products for new and emerging
software markets such as digital image management and DVD authoring.
