    On January 4, 2000, Ultimate Electronics, Inc. announced that it was changing its accounting policy relating to insured extended service contracts in accordance with guidance announced by the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 1999.

The restatement resulted in a net reduction to stockholders' equity of approximately $4.1 million as of January 31, 1999.

    The impact of the restatement on the consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and the quarterly periods in the three years from February 1, 1997 to October 31, 1999 is as follows (amounts in thousands, except share data):
