into new hard drive markets exposes our business to different
seasonal demand cycles, which in turn could adversely affect our
operating results.
The CE and retail markets have different seasonal pricing and
volume demand cycles as compared to the PC market. By expanding
into these markets, we became exposed to seasonal fluctuations
that are different from, and in addition to, those of the PC
market. For example, because the primary customer for products
such as our branded products are individual consumers, these
markets experience a dramatic increase in demand during the
winter holiday season. If we do not properly adjust our supply
to new demand cycles such as this, we risk having excess
inventory during periods of low demand and insufficient
inventory during periods of high demand, therefore adversely
affecting our operating results.

The CE markets that we are attempting to expand into have
different seasonal pricing and volume demand cycles as compared
to the PC market. By expanding into these markets, we become
exposed to seasonal fluctuations that are different than, and in
addition to, those of the PC market. For example, because the
primary customer for products such as consumer handheld devices
and game consoles are individual consumers, these markets
experience a dramatic increase in

demand during the winter holiday season. If we do not properly
adjust our supply to new demand cycles such as this, we risk
having excess inventory during periods of low demand and
insufficient inventory during periods of high demand, therefore
harming our operating results.
