Jim Balsillie Fiscal Quotations

The remainder of fiscal 2006 is shaping up to be extremely robust and we are on track to surpass $2 billion in annual revenue for the first time in our history,

Our strong market position together with our continuing technology leadership and our unique ability to provide customers and partners with a comprehensive wireless solution presents great opportunity for RIM in the new fiscal year.

We recently passed the $2 billion annual revenue and 5 million subscribers milestones and we have begun the new fiscal year with over 150 carrier partners around the world.

We are very pleased with the progress achieved by RIM and its partners over the summer, and we are particularly energized by our prospects for the second half of the fiscal year, ... We are entering the second half with solid market positioning, strong momentum and an impressive line-up of new products and services. As a result, we are now expecting to surpass $2 billion in annual revenue and the 5 million subscriber milestone before the end of the fiscal year.
