Mark, CREAF's exposure to Asia is *not* large. (I beleive it's around 15%). The vast majority of their sales are to the U.S. I beleive that the beneficial effects of the currency crisis on their costs more than makes-up for losses on Asian sales.

Take out the net cash/securities and the multiple is more like 7x-8x FY98 which you're already a quarter of the way through. But to your question as to why the low PE? It's relatively simple yet no less frustrating: no meaningful top line growth and the concern that PCI audio will be spark the end for CREAF's domination of PC audio. The next 2 qtrs will answer these questions quite dramatically in CREAF favor.
