Taking advantage of many of the Company's strengths, including technical know-how, brand awareness, professional workforce and our manufacturing facilities, the new contract win will jumpstart our presence in the computer industry, increase our competitiveness and achieve greater synergies across all our product offerings. We believe that launching a notebook product line will not only enhance our existing product portfolio but also set a strong pace to continue our goal of broadening our distribution networks and launching new products to extend the value of our existing investments. We are confident that this new contract win, as well the continued growth across all of our existing product lines, are strong validation of our vision to become China's preeminent integrated consumer electronics company, and will ultimately create more value for our shareholders."
