These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause Creatives actual results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties include: Creatives ability to timely develop new products that gain market acceptance and to manage frequent product transitions; competitive pressures in the marketplace; Creatives ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; potential fluctuations in quarterly results due to the seasonality of Creatives business and the difficulty of projecting such fluctuations; possible disruption in commercial activities caused by factors outside of Creatives control, such as terrorism, armed conflict and labor disputes; a reduction in demand for computer systems, peripherals and related consumer products as a result of poor economic conditions, social and political turmoil and major health concerns; the proliferation of sound functionality in new products from competitors at the application software, chip and operating system levels; a deterioration of global equity markets; exposure to excess and obsolete inventory; Creatives reliance on sole or limited sources for many of its chips and other key components; component shortages which may impact Creatives ability to meet customer demand; Creatives ability to protect its proprietary rights; a reduction or cancellation of sales orders for Creative products; accelerated declines in the average selling prices of Creatives products; Creatives ability to successfully manage its expanding operations; the vulnerability of certain markets to current and future currency fluctuations; the effects of restricted fuel availability, rising costs of fuel or higher shipping costs; fluctuations in the value and liquidity of Creatives investee companies; and the potential decrease in the trading volume and value of Creatives Ordinary Shares as a result of Creatives intended delisting from NASDAQ and elimination of its U.S. public reporting obligations. For further information regarding the risks and uncertainties associated with Creatives business, please refer to its filings with the SEC, including elsewhere in this Annual Report filed on Form 20-F. Creative undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in Creatives expectations. Page 3 Copyright © 2012 www.secdatabase.com.
