EXHIBIT A
The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 are
expected to be significantly different from those for the year ended December
31, 1997. Sales for the year ended December 31, 1998 will be approximately $10
million, compared to sales of $20 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The sharp decline in sales for 1998 is the result of the Company experiencing
both decreased quantities and selling prices of its traditional products sold
through the audio visual channels as it devoted its resources to developing a
new, high-end product line, the P1500. Very limited quantities of the P1500 were
sold in 1998. Sales of the P1500 product line have also been extremely limited
in 1999. The Company is currently assessing its options regarding the P1500
product line and the inventory that the Company owns related to the line. Until
a decision is finalized regarding the P1500, cost of sales numbers for 1998
cannot be reported, because the Company cannot quantify the expected inventory
write-down associated with this product line. Operating expenses for 1998 are
expected to be reported at amounts consistent with the operating expenses of
$7.5 million reported for the year ended December 31, 1997. Because the Company
cannot yet quantify the inventory write-down for 1998, the amount of net loss
for 1998 cannot be finalized, however, the Company anticipates that the net loss
for 1998 will be less than the net loss of $9.3 million reported for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
