made a series of advances under a loan to a start-up connector company, Applied Optical Systems, Inc. (the &#147;Borrower&#148;). On September&nbsp;19, 2007, the Company made an advance to the Borrower which, when aggregated with the other advances
made to the Borrower, increases the net amount owed to the Company by the Borrower to approximately 10% of the Company&#146;s total assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of
September&nbsp;19, 2007, the Company had advanced a total of $3,438,379, net (including some accrued interest and accounts receivable from certain product sales) to the Borrower. The note receivable associated with the advances matures July&nbsp;31,
2008, if not further amended. The note receivable is collateralized by all of the Borrower&#146;s tangible and intangible property and bears interest at six percent (6%)&nbsp;per annum. Two of the founders of the Borrower have also personally
guaranteed amounts up to two-thirds of the principal balance outstanding on the note receivables plus two-thirds of any accrued interest related to the note receivables. In connection with the loan, the Company was issued a warrant by the Borrower
which, as amended, gives the Company the right to purchase a fifty-six percent (56%)&nbsp;equity interest in the Borrower on a fully diluted, as converted basis, for a purchase price of $1,500,000. In addition, the Company was granted the right to
purchase all other outstanding equity of the Borrower at various times from 2009 through 2012, at a fixed multiple of trailing earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), conditioned upon the Company&#146;s exercise of the warrant or the
Borrower&#146;s failure to repay the loans when due. The note receivable is callable by the Company at any time. The Company&#146;s rights under the warrant terminate if the warrant is not exercised prior to the expiration date. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the preparation of the condensed financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, Optical Cable Corporation&#146;s management team discovered a price data-entry error associated with the receipt of a
large raw material shipment had been made during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This price data-entry error affected the Company&#146;s reported interim financial statements for the first two quarters of fiscal 2007. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon discovering the price data-entry error, the Company conducted extensive testing of its bare fiber inventory pricing as of January&nbsp;31,&nbsp;April&nbsp;30 and
July&nbsp;31, 2007, but found no other errors that individually, or in aggregate, could be considered material. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company intends to restate the
condensed financial statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007, in amended quarterly reports to be filed with the SEC. The restatements result in an increase in the Company&#146;s net loss of approximately $186,000, or $0.04 per
basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and an increase in the Company&#146;s net income of approximately $172,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The combined impact of the
restatements result in a cumulative understatement of net loss totaling approximately $14,000 for the six month period ended April&nbsp;30, 2007. </FONT></P>
