<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are a leading innovator and licensor of
visual information technology.&#160; During
our 60-year history, we have developed substantial proprietary technology
relating to the electronic storage, processing and retrieval of data,
particularly images.&#160; We currently hold
approximately 600 patents and patent applications covering digital image
processing, digital image compression and recording technologies.&#160; We leverage our investment in technology
through our corporate licensing division that licenses our patents to
manufacturers of consumer electronics products.&#160;
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ampex Data Systems Corporation (&#147;Data
Systems&#148;), we also incorporate this technology in the design and manufacture of
very high performance data storage products, principally used in intelligence
gathering and defense applications to gather digital images and other data from
aircraft, satellites and submarines.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have two business segments, which we refer
to as our Recorders segment and our Licensing segment.&#160; Our Recorders segment primarily includes the
sale and service of data acquisition and instrumentation recorders (which
record data, principally images rather than computer information), and to a
lesser extent mass data storage products, all of which are made by our
manufacturing subsidiary, Data Systems.&#160;
Our Licensing segment involves the licensing of our intellectual
property to manufacturers of consumer digital video products through our corporate
licensing division.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We incorporated in Delaware in January&nbsp;1992
as the successor to a business originally organized in 1944. References to &#147;Ampex&#148;
include subsidiaries and predecessors of Ampex Corporation, unless the context
indicates otherwise.&#160; Our principal
executive offices are located at 1228 Douglas Avenue, Redwood City, California
94063, and our telephone number is (650) 367-2011.&#160; Our Class&nbsp;A Stock is quoted on the
Nasdaq National Market (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) under the symbol &#147;AMPX.&#148;&#160; We also maintain a website on the Internet at

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For example, our licensing revenue has historically
fluctuated widely due to a number of factors that we cannot predict, such as
the extent to which third parties use our patented technology, the ability of
manufacturers to redesign their products to avoid infringement of our patents,
the extent to which we must pursue litigation in order to enforce our patents
to protect our business, and the ultimate success of our licensing and
litigation activities.&#160; Licensing revenue
also depends in part on fluctuating sales volumes and prices of licensees&#146;
products that incorporate our technology.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2005, we had
licensing revenue of $11.4 million and net income of $5.9 million as a result
of the recognition of significant royalty receipts for past and, in some cases,
future use of our patents.&#160; For the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2004, however, we only had licensing revenues of
$1.7 million and reported a net loss of $.25 million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Similarly, our recording revenues may fluctuate
significantly in future periods.&#160; While
this segment reported operating income for each of the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2005 and 2004, its business is dependent on the funding of government defense
programs, which may come under increased pressure in the future, leading to a
decline in sales.&#160; In addition, a substantial

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly, results of a given quarter or year may
not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for future
periods.&#160; In addition, fluctuations in
operating results may negatively affect our debt service coverage, or our
ability to issue debt or equity securities should we wish to do so, in any

material fluctuations in our operating results in future periods could have a
material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The success of our licensing and recording activities
depends, in part, upon our ability to establish and maintain the proprietary
nature of our technology through the patent process.&#160; There can be no assurance that one or more of
our patents will not be successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented or
that we will otherwise be able to rely on such patents for any reason.&#160; In addition, our competitors, many of whom
have substantial resources and have made substantial investments in competing
technologies, may seek to apply for and obtain patents that restrict our
ability to make, use and sell our products either in the United States or in
foreign markets.&#160; Monitoring unauthorized
use of our technology is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we
have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in
foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as
fully as the laws of the United States.&#160;
If any of our patents are successfully challenged, invalidated or
circumvented or our right or ability to manufacture our products becomes
restricted, our ability to continue to manufacture and market our products
could be adversely affected, which would likely have a material adverse effect
upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our licensing revenues may be adversely affected due to
the expiration of certain of our patents.&#160;
Our rapid image retrieval patent, which is licensed to manufacturers of
digital still cameras, will expire in April&nbsp;2006.&#160; Other patents that we license to
manufacturers of consumer digital imaging products will expire at various times
through 2014.&#160; We believe that certain of
our patents covered by existing licenses are used in professional and consumer
digital camcorders.&#160; We expect to receive
royalties from these products for several years after the April&nbsp;2006
expiration of our rapid image retrieval patent.&#160;
We are conducting discussions with certain manufacturers of digital
still cameras, including existing licensees, to determine whether they are
infringing these patents, as well.&#160; If we
believe that their products are infringing our other patents, we have the right
to declare the licensees to be in breach of their agreements with us.&#160; If the licensees do not either demonstrate
non-infringement or begin to pay royalties, we have the right to cancel their
licenses and initiate litigation to enforce our patents.&#160; However, there is no assurance that our other
patents may be used in digital still cameras<b><font style="font-weight:bold;"> </font></b>now
or in the future.&#160; Therefore, after April&nbsp;11,
2006, our digital still camera royalties may be materially reduced or
eliminated.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Unless we are able to develop or acquire new patents
in the digital imaging or other fields, our licensing revenues will expire in
2014.&#160; Moreover, if other companies
develop unpatented proprietary technology similar to ours or competing
technologies, our competitive position will be weakened and we may experience
reduced license revenues.</font></p>

manufacturers of digital still cameras and other products to enforce our
patents, to protect trade secrets or know-how owned by us or to determine the
enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others.&#160; Any litigation or interference proceedings
brought against, initiated by, or otherwise involving us, may require us to
incur substantial legal and other fees and expenses and may require some of our
employees to devote all or a substantial portion of their time to the
prosecution or defense of such litigation or proceedings.&#160; We also face the risk that a court could rule&nbsp;that
our patents are invalid or not infringed, causing existing licensees to
discontinue payments to us.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result, we have incurred significant litigation
expenses and may incur additional costs in future periods if we bring new
lawsuits or if existing litigation is not resolved through negotiations.&#160; Additionally, if we do not prevail in our
patent litigation, our patent royalties could be negatively impacted, which
would have an adverse impact on our business, revenues and operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Recorders segment depends materially on continued
expenditures by the U.S. government on intelligence and defense programs.&#160; Significant portions of data acquisition and
instrumentation recorder sales reflect purchases by prime contractors to the
federal government, which are subject to significant fluctuations.&#160; The large U.S. budget deficit is expected to
result in the cancellation of various defense programs.&#160; We do not know whether programs in which we
participate will be affected by such cuts, program delays or deferred
funding.&#160; The loss or significant decline
in spending on various imaging and intelligence gathering programs, in which we
are subcontractors to prime government contractors, or the lack of acceptance
of our new products described below could have a material adverse effect on our
revenues and earnings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have recently introduced our new DDRs disk-based
data acquisition recorder and our new DSRs solid-state memory-based data
acquisition recorder for use in intelligence gathering activities.&#160; These products have been designed to replace
a large installed base of DCRsi tape-based data acquisition recorders over
several years.&#160; However, there can be no
assurance that these new products will be successful or achieve the same level
of market acceptance.&#160; If sales of new
systems decline in the future, we may be increasingly dependent upon revenues
from the sale of spare parts, service and tape.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During 2004 and prior years, Media reimbursed us for
some of the pension contributions we made on behalf of the Media pension plan
based on a contractual obligation entered into at the time Media was sold.&#160; On January&nbsp;10, 2005, Media filed for
Chapter 11 reorganization.&#160; Based on our
assessment of Media&#146;s financial condition, we do not anticipate any additional
reimbursement of amounts paid to date or payable in the future on behalf of the
Media pension plan.&#160; Future pension
contributions payable under these pension plans will fluctuate based on actual
investment performance, life expectancy of the participants and other factors
versus such assumptions used to project future pension contributions.</font></p>

Media&#146;s pension plan in the event that we cannot make them.&#160; At our request, to date Hillside has made
pension contributions totaling $14.8 million pertaining to our and the Media
pension plans.&#160; Hillside has informed us
that they will make a pension contribution of $5.9 million in September&nbsp;2005.&#160; When Hillside advances pension contributions,
we become indebted to Hillside and issue promissory notes to Hillside in the
amount of our indebtedness (the &#147;Hillside Notes&#148;).&#160; In future years, we may request Hillside to
fund additional pension contributions under the Ampex and/or Media pension
plans if we are unable to make the payments ourselves.&#160; We believe that Hillside has sufficient
assets to fund future pension contributions under the Joint Settlement
Agreement, but we do not own or control Hillside and, except for the provisions
of the Joint Settlement Agreement, our ability to borrow pension contributions
from Hillside is beyond our control.</font></p>

approximately $29.8 million of total long-term borrowings, which includes
approximately $15.8 million under our 12% Senior Notes due 2008 and $14.0
million of Hillside Notes that at March&nbsp;31, 2005 bear interest at 7.63%
per annum.&#160; The Hillside Notes were
incurred in connection with pension contributions advanced by Hillside in 2004
and prior years.&#160; In June&nbsp;2005, we
redeemed $10 million principal amount of our 12% Senior Notes.&#160; The 12% Senior Notes are secured by liens on
our future royalty receipts.&#160; We may
incur additional indebtedness from time to time in the future, subject to
certain restrictions imposed by our debt agreements, which could increase our
interest expense in future periods.&#160; If
we default in our obligations under the relevant loan agreements, the
Noteholders would have the right to accelerate the indebtedness and foreclose
on their liens, which would materially and adversely affect our financial
condition.</font></p>

we are not currently seeking to make any acquisitions of a controlling interest

of integrating acquired companies with us and/or each other&#146;s operations.&#160; We may also encounter problems in entering
markets and businesses in which we have limited or no experience.&#160; Acquisitions can also divert our attention
from other business concerns.&#160; We have

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">in this regard.&#160; In addition, reductions in our research and

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because our Recorders segment is primarily focused on
our data acquisition and instrumentation products, we have devoted the majority
of our research and development to producing our new solid state and disk based
instrumentation recorders.&#160; We do not
currently intend to invest additional development resources to extend the life
of our 19-millimeter mass storage products beyond the quad density format
other than as required to support the needs of our customers.&#160; If our Recorders segment were to experience
further declines in product revenues, we may be required to reduce future
research, development and engineering costs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Recorders segment encounters significant
competition in all the markets for its products and services, and many of our
competitors in this industry have greater resources and access to capital than
us.&#160; In the instrumentation market, which
currently is our Recorders segment&#146;s major area of focus, we compete primarily
with companies that depend on government contracts for a major portion of their
revenues, including L-3 Communications Corporation, Calculex and Sypris
Solutions,&nbsp;Inc.&#160; Although the number
of our competitors in this industry has decreased in recent years as the
government spending in many areas has declined, many of these competitors have
greater financial resources than we do.</font></p>

limited number of key suppliers and vendors to operate our business.&#160; If these suppliers or vendors experience
problems or favor our competitors, we could fail to obtain sufficient
quantities of products and services we require to operate our business
successfully.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our Recorders segment purchases certain components and
magnetic media products from a single domestic or foreign manufacturer.&#160; Significant delays in deliveries or defects
in such components could adversely affect our manufacturing operations, pending
qualification of an alternative supplier.&#160;
In addition, we produce highly engineered products in relatively small
quantities.&#160; As a result, our ability to
cause suppliers to continue production of certain products on which we depend
may be limited.&#160; These suppliers may
require us to purchase lifetime quantities of their products or components,
which may cause our inventories to increase beyond levels required to support
current revenues.&#160; We do not generally
enter into long-term raw materials or components supply contracts.&#160; Accordingly, if we experience problems with
these manufacturers, we could fail to obtain sufficient resources to operate
our business successfully.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although we significantly curtailed our Recording
segment&#146;s international operations in prior years, sales to foreign customers
(including U.S. export sales) continue to be significant to our results of
operations.&#160; However, international
operations are subject to a number of special risks, including limitations on
repatriation of earnings, restrictive actions by local governments, and
nationalization.&#160; Additionally, export
sales are subject to export regulation and restrictions imposed by U.S.
government agencies.&#160; Although
fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies can affect our results of
operations, we do not normally seek to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations by hedging our foreign currency positions.&#160; Accordingly, our revenues from international
operations are subject to numerous risks, any of which may have an adverse
impact on our results of operations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We are highly dependent, and our success depends, upon
the availability and performance of our executive officers and directors,
including Edward J. Bramson, who has been our chief executive officer since
1991.&#160; Mr.&nbsp;Bramson is also engaged
in the management of certain other companies, but devotes most of his time to
the management of our operations.&#160; We
have not entered into employment agreements with Mr.&nbsp;Bramson or any of our
key employees, and we do not maintain key man life insurance on any of these
individuals.&#160; Accordingly, if we lose the
services of Mr.&nbsp;Bramson or our other executive officers, our business,
financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely
affected.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our facilities are subject to numerous federal, state
and local laws and regulations designed to protect the environment from waste
emissions and hazardous substances.&#160;
Owners and occupiers of sites containing hazardous substances, as well
as generators and transporters of hazardous substances, are subject to broad
liability under various federal and state environmental laws and regulations,
including liability for investigative and cleanup costs and damages arising out
of past disposal activities.&#160; We have
been named from time to time as a potentially responsible party by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to contaminated sites that
have been designated as &#147;Superfund&#148; sites, and are currently engaged in various
environmental investigation, remediation and/or monitoring activities at
several sites located off our facilities.&#160;
There can be no assurance we will not ultimately incur liability in
excess of amounts currently reserved for pending environmental matters, or that
additional liabilities with respect to environmental matters will not be
asserted.&#160; In addition, changes in
environmental regulations could impose the need for additional capital
equipment or other requirements.&#160; Such
liabilities or regulations could have a material adverse effect on us in the future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Although we sold Media in November&nbsp;1995, we have
continuing liability with respect to environmental contamination at
manufacturing sites and disposal sites used by Media when it was our
subsidiary.&#160; On January&nbsp;10, 2005,
Media filed for Chapter 11 reorganization.&#160;
At March&nbsp;31, 2005, we have included an estimate of future clean up
costs of Media sites of $2.4 million, which is included in net liabilities of
discontinued operations.&#160; We cannot
assure you that future costs of cleanup will not exceed our current estimate.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to
corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, new SEC regulations and Nasdaq market rules, are creating uncertainty for
companies such as ours.&#160; These new or
changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations
in many cases due to their lack of specificity.&#160;
As a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new
guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in
continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs
necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.&#160; We are committed to maintaining high
standards of corporate governance, internal control and public disclosure.&#160; As a result, we intend to invest resources to
comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may
result in increased administrative expenses and a diversion of management time
and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.&#160; If our efforts to comply with new or changed
laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by
regulatory or governing bodies, our reputation may be harmed.</font></p>

potential risks from recent legislation requiring companies to evaluate their
internal control over financial reporting under Section&nbsp;404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.</font></i></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We will be evaluating our internal controls systems in
order to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting and our registered independent public
accounting firm to attest to this report in our Form&nbsp;10-K annual
report for the fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, 2005, as required by Section&nbsp;404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.&#160; We will perform
the system and process evaluation and testing (and implementing any necessary
remediation) required in an effort to comply with these report and attestation
requirements and expect to incur additional expenses and devote significant
management time towards completing actions required for management&#146;s
evaluation.&#160; The evaluation and
attestation processes required by Section&nbsp;404 are new and neither public
companies nor public accounting firms have significant experience in testing or
complying with these requirements.&#160;
Although we will develop and implement plans to fully satisfy the
requirements relating to internal controls and all other aspects of Section&nbsp;404
in a timely fashion, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our
evaluation, testing and remediation actions or their impact on our operations
because, like other public companies, we and our registered independent public
accounting firm will be undergoing the process for the first time in a
regulatory environment where the standards to assess adequacy of compliance are
under development.&#160; We cannot assure you
that there will not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that
would be required to be reported as a result of the process.&#160; In addition, we cannot assure you that we
will timely complete actions required for management&#146;s evaluation according to
a timetable that will permit our registered independent public accounting firm
to timely complete its assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting and attest to management&#146;s report.&#160;
This development may subject us to regulatory investigations and
sanctions and lead to a loss of confidence in our internal control over
financial reporting.&#160; Any such action
could adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common
stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In addition, the stock market in general, and technology
companies in particular, have experienced a high degree of price volatility,
which has had a substantial effect on the market prices of many such companies
for reasons that often are unrelated or disproportionate to operating
performance.&#160; Thus, these broad market
and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock,
regardless of our operating performance.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The resale of shares of our common stock by the
selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus could cause the market price
of our common stock to decline.&#160; Even the
prospect of such resales could depress the market price for our common
stock.&#160; In addition, our officers,
directors and employees, including the selling stockholders, and certain other
stockholders hold significant numbers of additional shares of our common stock
that are not covered by this registration statement.&#160; Some of those shares are freely tradable
without restriction under the federal securities laws, and those that are not
may be sold in the future pursuant to newly filed effective registration
statements, in compliance with the requirements of Rule&nbsp;144 under the
Securities Act.&#160; Sales in the public
market of substantial amounts of our common stock, whether by our officers,
directors, employees or others, or the perception that such sales could occur,
could materially adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock
and our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity
securities.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation provides for a
classified board of directors, with members of each class elected for a
three-year term.&#160; It also provides for
nullification of voting rights of certain foreign stockholders in certain
circumstances involving possible violations of security regulations of the
United States Department of Defense.&#160;
Similarly, the indenture governing our outstanding Senior Notes requires
us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the outstanding principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid
interest in the event of a change of control, which includes the purchase by a
person or group of 50% or more of our outstanding voting stock or the transfer
of substantially all of our assets to any such person or group, other than to
certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates.&#160;
These provisions could deter, delay or prevent a third-party from
acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our charter authorizes our board of directors to
authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.&#160; Preferred stock may be issued in one or more
series, the terms of which may be determined without further action by
shareholders.&#160; These terms may include
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations
as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions
of redemption.&#160; The issuance of any
preferred stock, however, could materially adversely affect the rights of
holders of our class A common stock, and therefore could reduce its value.&#160; In addition, specific rights granted to
future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to
merge with, or sell assets to, a third party.&#160;
The power of the board of directors to issue preferred stock could make
it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire
or effect a change in control, thereby preserving the current shareholders&#146;
control.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As reported in our 2005 proxy statement, our
executive officers and directors beneficially own, in the aggregate,
approximately 17.8% of our outstanding common stock.&#160; As a result, they may be able to influence
matters requiring stockholder approval.&#160;
These matters include the election of directors and approval of
significant corporate transactions, such as a merger, consolidation, takeover
or other business combination involving us.&#160;
Our executive officers and directors may have interests that differ from
yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to
your interests.&#160; This concentration of
ownership could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock or
reduce any premium over market price that an acquirer might otherwise pay.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation includes
provisions to (i)&nbsp;eliminate the personal liability of our directors for
monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and (ii)&nbsp;indemnify
our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law.&#160;
We believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors and officers.&#160;
We maintain a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policy to
support the foregoing indemnity obligations, which, under certain
circumstances, could require us to indemnify our directors and offices against
liabilities arising under the Securities Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or
controlling persons under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.</font></p>

is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by
reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.&#160; The indemnity may include expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person

that the director or officer undertakes to repay such amount if it shall
