Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
From time to time, including in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our annual report to shareholders,
we publish “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These “forward-looking statements” may relate to such matters as our business and marketing strategies,
anticipated financial performance or business prospects in future periods, expected technological and product
developments, the expected content of and timing for new product introductions or our expectations concerning
the future acceptance of products by customers, the content and timing of planned entertainment releases
including motion pictures and television; and marketing and promotional efforts, research and development
activities, liquidity, and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as
“anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “looking forward,” “may,” “planned,” “potential,” “should,”
“will” and “would” or any variations of words with similar meanings. We note that a variety of factors could
cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations
expressed or anticipated in our forward-looking statements. The factors listed below are illustrative and other
risks and uncertainties may arise as are or may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and
our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K. We undertake
no obligation to make any revisions to the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form
10-K or in our annual report to shareholders to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of the
