Unaudited Preliminary Results of Operations

 

The following results of operations are preliminary and have not been audited or otherwise reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors.  The Company’s final, audited results of operations could be materially different from the unaudited preliminary results of operations set forth below.

 

The Company’s net sales for the year ended June 30, 2012 are expected to be approximately $24 million, as compared to net sales for the year ended June 30, 2011 of approximately $46 million.   The decrease in net sales was due to several factors, including increased competition in the dual-mode (3G and 4G) USB modem market, as well as competition from other similar products, which negatively affected volume and price.  Sales during the year ended June 30, 2012, were also affected by delays in launching new products. During the year ended June 30, 2012 the Company was developing new products that are expected to be released during the first half of fiscal 2013. 

 

Cautionary Statements 

 

This Form includes forwarding looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the Company and its business that are not historical facts and are indicated by words such as “anticipates,” “expected,” “plans,” “believes” and similar terms.  Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, in particular, whether or not the final audited financial results for the year ended June 30, 2012 will be consistent with the preliminary information summarized in this Form.
