Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 were $63,712,000 compared to $47,506,000 in the same quarter last fiscal year. Net income, including acquisition-related charges*, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 was a loss of $2,261,000, or $.05 per diluted share. Net income, excluding acquisition-related charges*, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 was $3,439,000, or $.06 per diluted share. Net sales for fiscal 2000 were a record $237,967,000 compared to $159,098,000 in fiscal 1999. Net income, including acquisition-related charges*, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 was $7,587,000, or $.14 per diluted share.

Pinnacle Systems also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock in the open market from time to time. According to Pinnacle Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Sanders, "Net sales in fiscal 2000 increased 50% over fiscal 1999, and sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 34% over the same quarter last year. Nonetheless, this was below our expectations for the quarter, impacting our profitability. The fourth quarter was particularly back-end loaded and a significant amount of business closed in the last week on terms less favorable than expected. The resulting sales shortfall and compressed margins became apparent after the end of the quarter. However, we believe the fundamentals of our business continue to be sound, and the markets we serve offer exceptional growth prospects for the future, especially as broadband networks and full-quality video over the Internet become widely available. To take better advantage of these opportunities, we are in the process of re-organizing our business groups in a way that should make them more efficient, focused and accountable." *Acquisition-related charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 include $6,543,000 in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and $400,000 in acquisition related in-process research and development expenses. The net income calculation, excluding acquisition related charges, uses an 18% tax rate for the fourth fiscal quarter and a 19% rate for fiscal 2000. Acquisition-related and one-time charges for fiscal 2000 includes $18,382,000 in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $3,500,000 in acquisition related in-process research and development expense, plus $2,102,000 in costs associated with a legal settlement.
