1. The Company recognized record revenues for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Revenues from continuing operations exceeded $5 million for the first time in any quarter.
2. Net income from continuing operations for 2006 increased by 84% despite recording $1.4 million related to stock based compensation under SFAS 123R as compared to $56,000 during 2005.
3. The sale of ValenceTech Limited was completed in fiscal 2006 to allow the Company to focus its attention on licensing audio technology.
