Alex was on CNNfn Friday. Here's the transcript. He didn't get enough time to make his points......................... cnnfn.news-real.com CEO, Alexander Balkanski. Thanks for joining us. ALEXANDRE BALKANSKI, CHAIRMAN & CEO, C-CUBE MICROSYSTEMS: My pleasure. HOPKINS: And what's the reason that you're not more affected by (11:43:40) Asia since you sell so much to Asia? BALKANSKI: We sell a fair amount in Asia. We sell consumer electronic products, but we also have a big system division in (11:43:50) DiviCom that has been performing outstandingly for us. So, on balance, we have been able to put up very good numbers and improve performance year over year. HOPKINS: So, (11:44:00) what are you finding - that people in Asia are willing to spend on the right products or what? BALKANSKI: Yes, essentially, we' finding that the products we sell (11:44:10) in Asia are consumer electronic products, $100 retail price point - and that is not affected nearly as much as capital equipment - much larger pieces of equipment - might (11:44:20) be. HOPKINS: Now, China is a big market for you, and that market has not been affected by any of the crisis in the rest of the region?
