Sales for the 1998 first quarter will be approximately $26,500,000 compared
to $33,900,000 for the 1997 first quarter. The decrease of $7,400,000 was the
result of lower units sold and lower unit sales prices.
Net income for the 1998 first quarter is estimated to be a loss between
$9,500,000 and $10,500,000 compared to a loss of $5,900,000 last year. The
increased loss was caused by the unit price decrease mentioned above and
inventory write downs to estimated fair market value both offset by reduced
manufacturing costs.
