The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, JDL Technologies, Inc.

The Company is cooperating with the DOJ investigation, while simultaneously conducting its own internal investigation, with oversight by the Companys Audit Committee, regarding the implications of the DOJ investigation for the Companys previously issued financial statements and previously reported financial results, as well as its future financial reporting. In addition to the DOJ investigation and related internal investigation, management is continuing its assessment of whether receivables currently totaling approximately $4.57 million that are related to work performed for VIDOE (the VIDOE receivables) are collectible, and is also assessing its revenue recognition standards for work performed under the E-Rate program. The DOJ investigation, the Companys related internal investigation and managements assessment of the VIDOE receivables and its E-Rate revenue recognition standards are ongoing and could lead to the discovery of additional information that could result in the restatement of previously announced financial results, previously issued financial statements or material charges in future periods. As a result of issues and uncertainties related to the DOJ investigation, the related internal investigation and managements assessment of the VIDOE receivables and its E-Rate revenue recognition standards, the Company is unable to complete and file its SEC Form 10-K Report for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 without unreasonable effort and expense.
