                                    Exhibit A


         CopyTele, Inc. (the "Company") expects to report a net loss for the
         three months ended January 31, 2008 of $2,685,325, or $.02 per share
         (basic and diluted), as compared to a net loss for the three months
         ended January 31, 2007 of $1,773,434, or $.02 per share (basic and
         diluted). The increase in net loss for the three months ended January
         31, 2008, as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2007, is
         expected to result in part from a decrease in the Company's net sales
         of approximately $79,000 to approximately $52,000, as compared to
         approximately $131,000 in the comparable prior-year period; an increase
         in research and development expenses of approximately $310,000 in the
         three-month period ended January 31, 2008, to approximately $1,313,000,
         from approximately $1,003,000 in the comparable prior-year period; and
         an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of
         approximately $549,000 to approximately $1,419,000 in the three-month
         period ended January 31, 2008, from approximately $870,000 in the
         comparable prior-year period.
