FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">American Technology Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148; is unable to timely an annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously announced,
the Company is conducting a voluntary review of its historical stock option and stock grants, and requires additional time to complete that review. The Audit Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors is leading the review with the
assistance of outside legal counsel and outside accounting experts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Option grants from the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 to September 30, 2006 are
being reviewed by the Audit Committee with the assistance of outside counsel. While the review is not complete, a preliminary determination has been made that measurement dates for accounting purposes may differ from recorded dates used for certain
grants made from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2004. While the review is ongoing, the information the Company has reviewed to date does not indicate misconduct or fraud by any member of the Company&#146;s current management. The Company has not yet
determined the appropriate non-cash adjustments to compensation expense or adjustments to the related tax effects of previous stock option and stock grants, or whether any such compensation charges would affect the Company&#146;s expected results
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. However, depending on the results of the review, a material adjustment to the Company&#146;s historical financial statements may be required. The Company plans to file its Form 10-K as promptly as
practicable after the completion of the Audit Committee&#146;s review, but is not able to predict with certainty when the Audit Committee&#146;s work will be completed. </FONT></P> <P
