Few specifics about Ensoniq acquisation:

SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Creative Technology Ltd. (CREAF) completed its acquisition of Ensoniq Corp. and said it will take a write-off in the second quarter ended Jan. 2 related to the deal.

Creative acquired Ensoniq, an audio chip company, for $77 million in cash.

In a press release Friday, the company said the amount of the write-off will be determined based upon the value of in-process research and development.

A Creative spokesman couldn't immediately provide additional information on the write-off. For the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 1996, Creative Technology reported net income of about $57 million, or 64 cents a share, on sales of $386 million.

A survey of seven First Call Inc. analysts shows Creative producing a mean earnings estimate of 78 cents a share for the fiscal 1998 second quarter.

Creative Technology, which develops multimedia technology, plans to report its second quarter Jan. 23.
