Outlook (http://www.gigamedia.com.tw/outlook.htm)
The following forward-looking statements reflect GigaMedia’s expectations as of August 14, 2007. Given potential changes in economic conditions and consumer spending, the evolving nature of online entertainment software, online games and broadband ISP services, and various other risk factors, including those discussed in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report or 20-F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission referenced below, actual results may differ materially.
Gaming software business. In the second half of 2007, we expect continued strong revenue growth in our gaming software business, partially moderated in the third quarter by traditional softness in online gaming during the summer season and increased competition in our markets.
Asian online games business. We expect continued revenue growth in the second half resulting from scheduled new game launches on FunTown’s and T2CN’s platform, as well as full quarterly revenue contributions from T2CN. We anticipate such growth to be accompanied by increased marketing expenses in the third quarter related to these new game launches and personnel and promotions expenses related to HellGate: London.
Broadband ISP business. We expect revenues in our legacy broadband ISP business to continue to decline moderately in the third quarter in line with plans.
