Footnotes:

1)		Financial information as of April 20, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) was obtained from the Debtor’s internal trial balance and the Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and subsequent amendments filed with the court. Financial information for the end of prior month and end of current month was also obtained from the Debtor’s internal trial balance prepared on a US GAAP accrual basis save for cash balances unless where noted. Additionally, during the month of August 2009, the Company changed its method of accounting from the accrual basis to the tax basis for reporting purposes. As a result, changes in the Company’s income and expense accounts and the related assets and liabilities attributable to GAAP based accruals and accounting were not presented for the current month’s operations and will not be presented going forward.

2)		During November 2009, pre-petition payments of approximately $6K were issued to employees for health benefit (flexible spending) reimbursement amounts approved by the court order dated August 5, 2009. To date, the Company has made $8.7K in payments on pre-petition flexible spending benefits claims out of the $10K allotted by the court. See attachment 3 for a detail of the November 2009 payments on pre-petition debt.

3)		During November 2009, payments of approximately $252K were issued to professionals pursuant to the Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expense of Professionals (“Interim Compensation Order”).

4)		Post-petition compensation and expense reimbursements have been made to current officers of the Company in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.

5)		No post-petition taxes were due as of November 30, 2009. Tax returns will be prepared in due course. Any required extension of time has been obtained from the applicable taxing authority.

I declare under penalty of perjury I have reviewed the above summary and attached financial statements, and after making reasonable inquiry believe these documents are correct.

1)		Of the $243K in past due accounts payable balances as of November 30, 2009, all amounts relate to invoices that have yet to be approved by the US Bankruptcy Court for payment and those in excess of the approved budgeted amount of $75,000. The Company is also liable for an additional $445K of post-petition items resulting from invoices received or services rendered as of November 30, 2009. The $445K is not reflected in the November 30, 2009 balance sheet since the Company has changed from accrual accounting to cash basis as of the September 2009 monthly operating report.

2)		The last complete physical count was conducted on March 15, 2008. Since then, the Company developed a cycle count program that was performed on a quarterly basis. The cycle count program was approved and reviewed by its former auditor. However, the cycle count program has been stopped since April 20, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) due to a lack of resources post filing. During July and August 2009, the Company entered into separate asset purchase agreements with each of Murata, Crossing, and PEER, in which the Company’s inventory was sold to these entities. As result of the transactions, the Company no longer has an inventory balance and does not anticipate having inventory in future periods.
