| Good morning, fellow members of the board, staff members and our dear stockholders. Welcome to our sixth annual general meeting. It is my pleasure to give you an overview of how the orange computer company has done in the past year. When I have finished, we will be very happy to answer any questions you might have. Most of what I have to say is very encouraging but to get it over with, I’ll start with the bad news. Actually. It’s not too bad. This time a year ago. we told you that we were about to launch our first mobile phone line. Cell phone for our American friends. After a major promotion, our four mobile phones hit the market exactly one week later. Given our excellent company reputation, very promising results from our market research and what we thought were attractive winning features at very competitive prices, our competitors were ready and waiting, with new models at prices that we had to match. So match them we did. But given the difficulty of breaking into this market, sales have been disappointing both in Europe and especially in North America. Given the massive growth of China’s mobile phone production in recent years and our lack of experience in that part of the world, we did not market the phones in Asia. So our mobile phone subsidiary is still limping along, but sales are slowly growing. We believe the long battery life and reliability are beginning to have a larger impact on consumers. So we have planned a new promotion and marketing campaign stressing these two strengths. |
