various other locations throughout the world primarily for research and development and sales and technical support.
We own manufacturing facilities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, consisting of approximately 1,054,000 square feet,
which we use for assembly of hard drives, printed circuit boards and HSAs. We also own manufacturing facilities in
Penang and Johor, Malaysia, consisting of approximately 800,000 and 243,000 square feet, respectively, and we own and
lease manufacturing facilities in Tuas, Singapore, consisting of approximately 311,000 square feet, all of which we use for
our magnetic media operations. We also own manufacturing facilities in Navanakorn, Thailand, consisting of approx-
imately 226,000 square feet, which we use for assembly of hard drives and HSAs, and facilities in Bang Pa-In, Thailand,
consisting of approximately 1,031,000 square feet, which we use for slider fabrication, the assembly of hard drives, HGAs

We believe our present facilities are adequate for our current needs, although the process of upgrading our facilities
to meet technological and market requirements is expected to continue. New manufacturing facilities, in general, can be
developed and become operational within approximately nine to eighteen months should we require such additional
facilities.
