Special Interest Group (SIG) is a tremendous step forward in the industry
standardization process, and we anticipate the SIG will approve an
MBOA-certified standard UWB design in the near future. In addition, industry
analysts have greater visibility than ever into the UWB opportunity and are
projecting the market to exceed $375 million by 2006, which we believe our
products under development will address."

Moyer continued, "Therefore, we have decided now is the time to increase our
engineering resources to drive our UWB development to completion. We also
believe this investment will significantly strengthen our ongoing negotiations
with potential manufacturing and vendor partners."
