Historically, the most advanced, state-of - Altium

Company expansion and growth
� Increased growth and
diversification of Altium's global
customer base with the Company's
substantial acquisitions and the
active marketing of six product
lines, Protel, P-CAD, TASKING,
Accolade, CircuitMaker and
CAMtastic!. The most significant
growth came from the TASKING
acquisition, which provided Altium
with a considerably increased
presence in the European electronic
design market.
� Continued investment in
technology and intensive
development in transforming the
recent investments and in-house
technology into new products.
� Successful integration of acquired
business and technologies -
TASKING's products, staff and
worldwide offices has proceeded
smoothly with marketing, sales,
financial and corporate functions
fully-merged with Altium's existing
structures and R&D groups working
in close cooperation on product
integration and future product
development efforts.
� 2001 also saw the completion of
the stage 1 targeted acquisition
strategy outlined in our IPO
prospectus. Altium now has all the
building blocks in place necessary
to fulfil our vision of providing all
the tools necessary to form a
complete electronic design system
that integrates all aspects of the
design process, is easy to use, and
is accessible to all engineers.
