CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY LTD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
Another new interesting product deserving mention is a very small weatherproof and fun portable wireless speaker, the Creative
MUVO mini. The Creative MUVO mini is specially designed to be able to withstand rain, sand and dust, so that users can
bring them into the great outdoors to enjoy their digital entertainment content anywhere, anytime.
On another front, I mentioned last year that we would be looking into steps to monetize our formidable collection of over 100
patents in the eld of 3D graphics and media processing. Earlier this year, a subsidiary, ZiiLabs Inc., Ltd. commenced action
for patent infringement in the United States against two major companies. That case is ongoing.
Looking ahead, for the current scal year, while the Group expects market conditions to remain uncertain and challenging,
the introduction of new and exciting products which I mentioned earlier, particularly the Sound Blaster Roar, is expected to
provide good potential revenue growth opportunities for the Group and position us to re-grow our business.
Thank you.
Sim Wong Hoo
Chairman & Chief Executive Ofcer
