If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes [ X ] No [ ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [ X ] No [ ] In the aggregate, the restatement decreased net revenue by $675,000 for the entire period of fiscal years 2000, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This represents a 0.2% of the total revenues during that period. The aggregate change in net income for this same period was an increase of $238,000. More specifically, in 2000 revenue increased by $3.2 million and the net loss decreased by $913,000. In 2001 revenue and net income decreased by $1.4 million and $238,000 respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 revenues decreased by $2.5 million and net income decreased by $437,000. The restatement is the result of a determination by the Company, as concurred by our independent accountants, that the Company should recognize revenue on certain product sales upon arrival at the customer site. This new determination differs from the Company's twenty-two-year historical practice of recognizing revenue as the products leave the Company's facilities. ================================================================================ If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
