"Our business is growing by leaps and bounds..." "It's a massive market. Photography in total has gone from about eighty-five billion dollars to a hundred and twenty-five billion over the last couple of years, and nearly all of this growth is coming from digital photography. So we figure that's a large enough market for us to be a multibillion-dollar company in the not too distant future." "We do have line-of-sight to profitability and expect that to occur in the fourth quarter of next year." Well, we basically see, you know, digital cameras themselves going from about six or seven million units, eight million units perhaps, on the outside, to well over forty million units in just the next three years...and so we expect our growth will pretty much mirror the growth of the digital photography camera sales themselves." "We think our competitive advantage in this business is the rapid market share that we're actually gaining in the digital film market...we had about twenty-five percent market share in the after-market flash business." "Although I understand that some investors are concerned about our risk/reward profile, I think our shares at $8 represent a terrific opportunity for investors."This statement accurately reflects our chief executive officer's view, but should not be taken as a recommendation by us or the underwriters.
