As of June 30, 1999, the Company's accumulated deficit and net loss continued to grow significantly since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The loss was generated primarily because of a lack of sales due to the weak Asian economy, discontinuance of the Company's CD-ROM division and constrained marketing activities due to a lack of cash flow. The lack of sales or a significant financial commitment continues to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. - 4 -
