THE REGISTRANT ANTICIPATES THAT NET SALES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER

APPROXIMATELY $1,186,000 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001. THE
REGISTRANT ALSO ANTICIPATES THAT IT WILL RECORD A NET LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY
$7,773,000 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002, AS COMPARED TO A NET
LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY $9,224,000 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001.
THE DIFFERENCE IN NET SALES BETWEEN THE PERIODS COVERED PRIMARILY WAS DUE TO
DECREASED ADVERTISING REVENUES AND THE DISCONTINUANCE OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE
REGISTRANT'S DESIENCE DIVISION. THE DIFFERENCE IN NET LOSS BETWEEN THE PERIODS
COVERED PRIMARILY WAS DUE TO DECREASED FINANCING COSTS.
