President Addresses SSD Company Limited Press Conference
January 6, 2005, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

LVCC South Hall booth #31774. , Las Vegas, U.S

Nakagawa, President of SSD,
Good morning everyone, and happy New Year.

On behalf of everyone at SSD company limited and all our business partners both here and in Japan, I want to thank you for joining us and I'd like to give a special nod of acknowledgement to everyone here who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make our big news possible.
We have four exciting announcements for you today.
We will be discussing our new XaviXGames products that you can see here in the booth;
The launch of our XaviXHome product line;
The upcoming XaviX exhibit at Disney's epcot center;
As well as a very important strategic alliance.
To give you more information, I'd like to introduce our General Manager in the U.S., Mr. Peter Newman.

Peter Newman, General Manager of SSD US,
Since launching our XaviXPORT system and our first three titles - XaviXBOWLING XaviXBASEBALL and XaviXTENNIS - in the U.S. in fall 2004, the response from customers has been phenomenal.
We're always looking to offer new titles that meet their ongoing needs and interests.
Based on the growing success and demand for XaviX, we're broadening our existing line of XaviXGames with two new titles that further showcase the potential of our interactive technology - XaviXGOLF and XaviXBASSFISHING.
We designed XaviXGOLF with the golf enthusiast in mind. Players will swing the wireless putter or driver to play a nine or 18-hole course, and sensors embedded in the wireless golf tee detect the speed of the club and determine where the golf ball lands on screen.
XaviXGOLF offers individual and multiple-player modes as well as a choice of exhibition, tournament or 10-shot games which can be customized by player.
The graphics are much improved from our first games and feature realistic fairway views and putting greens.
It's a more mature product in feeling but one that we know has a significant potential customer base.
XaviXBASSFISHING pays tribute to one of America's favorite pastimes, and enables players to practice their cast in the comfort of their living rooms.
Players will compete in various class levels and tournament modes to land the biggest fish.
They can also feel the tension build when reeling in each fish with the wireless fishing rod.
Like the original games, both new titles are compatible with the XaviXPORT system and demonstrate how XaviX Technology enables users to interact with their televisions in an entirely new way.
We expect both titles to hit store shelves in late spring 2005.

As Mr. Nakagawa indicated, we are also pleased to launch a new application for XaviX Technology called the XaviXSCALE. This represents the first offering of our XaviXHome line.
XaviXSCALE offers an interactive fitness and weight tracking system that uses a combination of human interface sensor technologies to track, analyze and transmit personal data wirelessly to a user's television using the XaviXPORT.
Until now, most consumers in America have only come to identify XaviX as an interactive video gaming system.
But at SSD, we have always known that XaviX Technology has so much more potential, and this opens up the myriad of possibilities behind our interactive platform.
XaviXSCALE enables families to take control of their health by tracking and analyzing weight, body fat percentage and body mass index.
Users insert the family fitness manager system cartridge into the XaviXPORT, program family members' names and then place the XaviXSCALE anywhere in the house, and the system will automatically store and track personal information for up to four family members for a full year.
Retailers may order the XaviXSCALE for delivery in summer 2005.
Our third announcement is the launch of a "xsports challenge" exhibit at Disney's epcot center in Florida.
We hope this new showcase will bring as much joy to the child in you as it does to all of us.
Our new 1,135 square-foot exhibit is scheduled to open in spring 2005, and will enable visitors to experience the excitement and potential of interactive technology through hands-on demonstrations of our interactive sports games.
Our exhibit will be comprised of interactive stations equipped with large-screen televisions and XaviXPORT consoles, and will give visitors an opportunity to touch, see, feel and discover for themselves the many future possibilities of interactive technology.
I'm sure you'll agree that there's no better or more captivating place than at one of the world's greatest theme parks to share this experience with new users.
And now, I'd like to turn the podium over to Mr. Nakagawa for our most exciting news today.

Nakagawa, President of SSD,
I am so excited to explain why you are surrounded by all these images of Jackie Chan throughout the SSD/XaviX booth!
It gives us great pleasure to announce a strategic alliance with world renowned film star Jackie Chan to develop future interactive fitness products and games that leverage SSD's XaviXPORT system technology.
Jackie himself with us today as his new venture becomes officially recognized as the first international licensee of the XaviXPORT system.
While SSD has developed over 100 popular consumer products in Japan, this represents the first international licensing arrangement we have secured for the XaviXPORT, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to join with us in this important endeavor.
This alliance developed out of Jackie's personal vision to create products which the entire family can enjoy together to promote fitness and well-being.
Our shared goals and Jackie's international acclaim will undoubtedly strengthen this alliance over time and will help to promote a successful venter for Jackie and all of SSD.
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Mr. Michael Favish, business development for JCX, Mr. Willie Chan of JC group, and the world-renowned Mr. Jackie Chan!
