November 23, 2005

Digitimes reports that Ritek accounted for 20.0% of the total
global shipment volume for DVD+R/-R discs, 21.5% for DVD+RW/-RW/-RAM
(rewritable) discs and 18.7% for CD-RW discs for the third quarter of this year.
The research has been performed by the Japanese research company
Fujiwara-Rothchild which also noticed that Ritek had the largest marketshare for
each sector.

India-based Moser Baer India (MBI), though, topped all Taiwanese
makers in CD-R disc shipments for last quarter, mainly because leading
Taiwanese makers have been shifting production focus from CD-R discs to
DVD discs, according to industry sources.

Taiwanese makers posted an aggregate global market share of
67.8% for DVD+R/-R discs, 59.8% for DVD+RW/-RW/-RAM discs, 62.2% for CD-RW
discs, and 53.0% for CD-R discs, noted
Fujiwara-Rothchild.
