(&#147;Ampex&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) is a leading innovator and licensor of visual information technology. During its 63-year history, the Company has developed substantial proprietary technology relating to the electronic storage,
processing and retrieval of data, particularly images. The Company currently holds patents and patent applications covering digital image-processing, data compression and recording technologies. The Company leverages its investment in technology
through its corporate licensing division, which licenses its patents to manufacturers of consumer electronics products. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ampex Data Systems Corporation (&#147;Data Systems&#148;), the Company develops and
incorporates technology in the design and manufacture of very high performance data storage products, principally used in defense applications to gather digital images and other data from aircraft, satellites and submarines. These products are also
used in flight and sensor test applications. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As discussed below in Note 3, on March&nbsp;30, 2008, Ampex and certain of its U.S.
subsidiaries (the &#147;Debtors&#148;) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter&nbsp;11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the &#147;Bankruptcy Code&#148;) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the &#147;Bankruptcy Court&#148;). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern once it emerges from chapter 11. The Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to successfully restructure its indebtedness and to emerge from bankruptcy with viable and profitable operations and with adequate liquidity. The Company believes the chapter 11
reorganization will achieve these objectives. On or about March&nbsp;30, 2008, the Company filed a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization (as may be amended, the &#147;Plan&#148;) and related disclosure statement (as may be amended, the
&#147;Disclosure Statement&#148;), which are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. On May&nbsp;9, 2008, the Company filed amended versions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, and a hearing to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the
Disclosure Statement has been scheduled for June&nbsp;11, 2008. The Bankruptcy Court requires that the Company solicit votes from certain creditors to accept or reject the Plan only after the Disclosure Statement has been approved. Prior to filing
petitions for relief under chapter 11, the Company negotiated the terms of the Plan with and obtained the support of creditors holding a majority of its secured debt and its largest unsecured creditor. This support is evidenced by the Plan Support
Agreement (as may be amended or modified, the &#147;PSA&#148;), which the parties filed contemporaneously with the commencement of the Debtors&#146; chapter 11 cases (the &#147;Chapter 11 Cases&#148;). The parties to the PSA have agreed to support
the Plan and not to support any other plan in exchange for the Debtors&#146; agreement to implement all steps necessary to solicit the requisite acceptances of the Plan and obtain from the Bankruptcy Court an order confirming the Plan in accordance
with the terms of the PSA. The PSA may be terminated in the event that the Plan and Disclosure Statement are not approved by certain deadlines, the Plan is not consummated within a certain period of time after its confirmation, and in certain other
situations. There can be no assurance that the Plan and Disclosure Statement will be approved or that the Company will be able to satisfy all of the other conditions of the PSA. The Company believes that it will emerge from chapter 11 before the end
of the year with a viable capital structure and with sufficient liquidity for it to continue operating as a going concern, but cannot give assurances that it will do so, due to uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process. If the Plan is not
approved, the Company may be unable to pay its debts as presently scheduled, which would require it to seek protection in chapter 11 without the support of its creditors and could force the Debtors to liquidate under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code
due to their limited unencumbered available resources. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable
to continue to operate as a going concern. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The consolidated financial statements as of March&nbsp;31, 2008 and December&nbsp;31, 2007,

information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In addition, certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period&#146;s presentation. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Company&#146;s report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2007, and the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included therein. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the opinion of management, the financial

three month periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. With effect from the March&nbsp;30, 2008 bankruptcy filing date, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (&#147;SOP 90-7&#148;). Accordingly, all pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise were segregated in the
condensed consolidated balance sheet and classified as liabilities subject to compromise at the estimated amounts of allowable claims. Reorganization costs, which included legal expenses incurred in connection with negotiations to restructure the
Senior Notes and the Hillside Notes (defined below in Note 3) as well as expenses incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, have been reported separately as Reorganization Costs in the Company&#146;s consolidated statements. The chapter 11
filing was made in close proximity with the March&nbsp;31, 2008 quarter end date; accordingly, the presentation of the &#147;Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss)&#148; and &#147;Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flow&#148; for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 were largely unaffected by the chapter 11 filing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The financial statements
presented in this Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments to the carrying values of assets or liabilities or to the classification of debt that might result from any debt restructuring or plan of reorganization that might ultimately be approved by
the Bankruptcy Court as more fully described in Note 3 nor the adoption of fresh start accounting upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management&#146;s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements include revenue
recognition, accounts receivable, inventories, deferred taxes, warranty reserves, pension liabilities, valuation of long-lived assets and investments, contingencies and environmental liabilities. </FONT></P> <P

as short-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and marketable equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The Company&#146;s
debt and marketable equity securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of shareholders&#146;
deficit. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Company owns a 1.5% minority equity investment in a private company that is carried on the cost method. The company conducts research and development and performs contract engineering services for the U.S. Department of Defense and high technology
industries. The carrying value of this investment amounted to $225,000 at March&nbsp;31, 2008 and December&nbsp;31, 2007 and is included in other long-term assets. This investment is inherently risky because the products and technologies in
development are not fully commercialized. The Company monitors its investment for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be
other-than-temporary, the Company records an impairment charge and establishes a new cost basis for the investment at its current fair value. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates the
duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, the financial condition of and business outlook for the company and the Company&#146;s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Inventories </I></B></FONT></P> <P

useful lives. When assets are disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in the results of operations. </FONT></P> <P

generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to one year. The Company accrues a warranty reserve at the time of sale for estimated costs to provide warranty services. The Company&#146;s estimate of costs to service its warranty
obligation is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent the Company experiences increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, its warranty accrual will increase,
resulting in decreased gross profit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Environmental Liabilities </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s facilities and business practices are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment from waste emissions and hazardous substances. Also, the Company may have continuing liability with respect to environmental contamination related to the facilities and disposal activities of its former subsidiary Media
(&#147;Media&#148;). The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the &#147;AICPA&#148;) Statement of Position
No.&nbsp;96-1, &#147;Environmental Remediation Liabilities.&#148; The Company continually assesses these contingencies based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Such
analysis includes making judgments concerning matters such as the extent of environmental damage and the Company&#146;s pro rata participation, if applicable, the most desirable remediation techniques and the time period during which the cleanup
costs may be incurred. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may change in the future due to new developments or other changes. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement
policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, the Company does not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in
excess of its accruals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Company recognizes revenue in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Staff Accounting Bulletin (&#147;SAB&#148;) No.&nbsp;104, &#147;Revenue Recognition&#148; and the AICPA Statement of Position No.&nbsp;97-2, &#147;Software
Revenue Recognition,&#148; as amended. Revenue is recognized when (1)&nbsp;persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2)&nbsp;delivery and, where applicable, acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, (3)&nbsp;the fee is fixed or
determinable, and (4)&nbsp;collection is reasonably assured. The Company derives its revenue from two principal sources: license fees (including royalties) through its Licensing segment, and product and parts sales and service contracts through its
Recorders segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Determination of criteria (3)&nbsp;and (4)&nbsp;are based on Management&#146;s judgments regarding the fixed nature of
the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Should changes in conditions cause Management to determine these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for any
reporting period could be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s revenue recognition policy with respect to royalty income is as follows:
when the Company enters into an agreement with a new licensee for use of its patents, the Company may receive settlement of &#147;past due&#148; royalties. This is a negotiated amount and is typically paid by the licensee within 30 days of signing
the license agreement. Past due royalties cover the licensee&#146;s product shipments from the period when they were first notified of infringement up through the effective date of the license. The Company may also negotiate a &#147;prepayment&#148;
of royalties that would otherwise be due up to a specific future date. The dollar amounts due under a negotiated agreement for both past due royalties and for prepayment of royalties are non-refundable and non-forfeitable. The Company recognizes
both past due and prepayment amounts as revenue in the period when the agreement has been executed by both parties, which is when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, fees become fixed or determinable and collection becomes probable, as
the Company has no future obligations with respect to these agreements and delivery has occurred. Alternatively, the Company&#146;s licensing agreement may include a &#147;running&#148; royalty which covers products shipped by the licensee after the
date that the license agreement has been entered into and until the patent has expired or when the patent is no longer contractually available to the licensee, if shorter. The Company&#146;s running royalties are computed as a percentage of the
selling price of the licensee&#146;s products and are paid quarterly in arrears and recognized as revenue at the time the amount of the quarterly royalty payment becomes determinable, generally upon receipt of the licensee&#146;s sales report upon
which royalties are determined, and collection is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Revenue on product sales and services is recorded when all of the
following have occurred: an agreement of sale exists, product delivery (principally FOB Ampex Factory) and acceptance has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Prepaid
service revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the service contract. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) Statements No.&nbsp;87, 88, 106 and 132(R), as of December&nbsp;31, 2006. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;158, the funded status of each pension and other postretirement benefit plan is required to be
reported as an asset (for overfunded plans) or a liability (for underfunded plans). The Company&#146;s net pension obligation (liability) reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under SFAS No.&nbsp;87 was equal to the unfunded projected benefit
obligation determined under SFAS No.&nbsp;158; accordingly, the implementation of SFAS No.&nbsp;158 had no impact on the Company&#146;s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The determination of the
Company&#146;s obligation and expense for pension and other postretirement benefits payable to Ampex&#146;s and Media&#146;s employees and retirees is dependent on the Company&#146;s selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating
such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and mortality assumptions for the plan participants. In accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;158, the underfunded status of the
defined benefit plans is recorded as a net liability with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (&#147;AOCI&#148;) in shareholders&#146; equity. Amounts recognized in AOCI represent unrecognized gains and losses that

SIZE="2">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;123 (revised 2004) (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;123R&#148;), &#147;Share-Based Payment,&#148; which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an
enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a)&nbsp;equity instruments of the enterprise or (b)&nbsp;liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise&#146;s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such
equity instruments. In January&nbsp;2005, the SEC issued SAB&nbsp;No.&nbsp;107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No.&nbsp;123R. SFAS No.&nbsp;123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation
transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,&#148; and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using
a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (&#147;BSM&#148;) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures provided
under SFAS No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.&#148; The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No.&nbsp;123R and, accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the
impact of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options and restricted stock that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite
service is rendered beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123. The
Company has recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $105 thousand and $72 thousand, included in selling and administrative expenses, during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as a result of the
adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R. In accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, beginning in the first quarter of 2006 the Company has not recognized excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based compensation awards as a financing activity in
the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows due to its net operating loss position. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized as
part of the cost of an asset as of March&nbsp;31, 2008. Deferred tax assets recorded in connection with stock-based compensation expenses for financial statement purposes have been offset by a corresponding valuation reserve. As of March&nbsp;31,
2008, $329 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested outstanding stock options and restricted stock is expected to be recognized over the next eight quarters. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Prior to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25. The Company applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123 as amended by SFAS No.&nbsp;148, &#147;Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation&#151;Transition and Disclosure&#148; as
if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, when the exercise price of the Company&#146;s employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date
of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Fair Value of Financial Instruments </I></B></FONT></P> <P

Management has determined that it is not practical to estimate the fair value of the Hillside Notes and note payable-other, as no market for such instruments currently exists. See Note 13. </FONT></P> <P

taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN&nbsp;48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006 and was adopted by the Company on a prospective basis in the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have
any effect on its financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors&#146; requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value,
and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS&nbsp;157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.
SFAS&nbsp;157 is effective for financial instruments beginning in January 2008 and non-financial instruments beginning in January 2009 and was adopted by the Company in the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2008. The adoption of SFAS&nbsp;157 did not
have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In February&nbsp;2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No.&nbsp;159, &#147;The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities&#151;Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;115&#148; (&#147;SFAS&nbsp;159&#148;). SFAS&nbsp;159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does
not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS&nbsp;159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,
equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor
is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair
value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items
for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS&nbsp;159 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company has not elected to expand the use of fair value accounting to any of its eligible items. Accordingly, the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;159 did not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2007, the FASB
issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141R, Business Combinations (&#147;SFAS 141R&#148;). SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value as of the
acquisition date. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. The Company is required to adopt SFAS
141R in the first quarter of 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Note 3 &#150; Plan of Reorganization </B></FONT></P> <P

United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company is operating its business as a &#147;debtor-in-possession&#148; under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code. On April&nbsp;16, 2008, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York appointed a committee to represent the interests of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On March&nbsp;31, 2008,&nbsp;April&nbsp;1, 2008, and
April&nbsp;22, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court entered certain orders that permit the Company to pay certain prepetition employee salary and benefit obligations, as well as certain vendor obligations. On March&nbsp;31, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court also
entered an order authorizing the Debtors to continue to honor its customer warranties and other programs in the ordinary course of business. On April&nbsp;4, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court approved a stipulation (the &#147;Interim Stipulation&#148;)
among the Debtors and certain of its secured lenders (the &#147;Consenting Holders&#148;) authorizing the interim use of cash claimed as collateral (&#147;Cash Collateral&#148;) by such lenders, subject to certain terms and conditions. The
Debtors&#146; authorization to use Cash Collateral under the Interim Stipulation may be terminated if the Debtors institute a proceeding seeking to challenge the validity of the secured lenders&#146; liens and claims, the Bankruptcy Court grants a
third party relief from the automatic stay to enforce a lien on the secured lenders&#146; prepetition collateral, and in certain other situations. A hearing to consider approval of a stipulation among the Debtors and the Consenting Holders
authorizing the final use of Cash Collateral, subject to certain terms and conditions, is currently scheduled to be held on June&nbsp;11, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The overall purpose of the Plan is to provide for the restructuring of the Company&#146;s liabilities in a manner designed to maximize recovery to all
stakeholders and to enhance the financial viability of the newly reorganized Ampex Corporation after it emerges from chapter 11 (&#147;Reorganized Ampex&#148;) by de-levering the Company, providing additional liquidity and arranging a long-term
financing solution to future pension contributions that does not over-leverage the Company in future years. At March&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had outstanding debt totaling $59.6 million, which consisted of $6.9 million of 12% Senior Notes due
August&nbsp;15, 2008 (&#147;Senior Notes&#148;), and $52.7 million of principal and interest outstanding on certain secured notes (the &#147;Hillside Notes&#148;) issued to Hillside Capital Incorporated (&#147;Hillside&#148;), a former affiliate of
the Company. Under the terms of the Hillside Notes, $3.6 million is due currently and another $5.5 million of principal and interest is due at various times in 2008. Substantial debt service under the Hillside Notes is due in 2009 and beyond. As
more fully explained in Note 13, the Hillside Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of a funding agreement by and between Hillside, the Company, and certain other parties, in connection with a settlement between the Company, Hillside and the PBGC
whereby Hillside is jointly and severally obligated along with Ampex to make pension contributions under the Ampex and Media pension plans in the event that the Company is unable to make such payments. Pension contributions under these plans from
2008 through 2013 are estimated to total $52 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the terms of the Plan, the Debtors and Hillside are agreeing to enter into a
credit agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) which generally consists of three components: (1)&nbsp;obligations to satisfy existing secured debts; (2)&nbsp;new borrowings; and (3)&nbsp;any future obligations incurred in connection with
Hillside&#146;s payment of required contributions or termination liability under the pension plans. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the PSA, Hillside will agree to accept the Debtors&#146; obligation to repay $10.5 million under the Credit
Agreement in full and final satisfaction of its $11 million secured claim against the Debtors on account of the Hillside Notes. The remaining $0.5 million of Hillside&#146;s secured claim is contemplated to be gifted to the holders of existing
Common Stock who do not object to the Plan. This gift will be distributed in the form of certain rights which are described below. In addition, under a separate tranche of the Credit Agreement, Hillside will lend the Company $5 million to be used
for general working capital purposes and to repay approximately $3.5 million of the Senior Notes. Furthermore, if Hillside is required to fund future required contributions to the pension plans, Hillside will be deemed to have granted another new
senior loan in the amount of such contribution. All three elements of this Credit Agreement (i.e., the $10.5 million of debt in exchange for Hillside&#146;s secured claim, the $5 million in new borrowings, and any amounts borrowed on account of the
future required contributions or termination liability under the pension plans satisfied by Hillside) shall be equal to an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Thereafter, the Debtors will issue to
Hillside new preferred stock of Reorganized Ampex (the &#147;New Preferred Stock&#148;) in the amount of each required contribution made by Hillside to the pension plans. At the time of Plan confirmation, Hillside will have already made the April
and July contributions. The loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at 10%&nbsp;per annum. The balance of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will be repayable, under various terms of the Credit Agreement, in annual
installments ranging from $2.9 million to $5.0 million beginning in March 2010. The holders of the Senior Notes will receive amended senior notes in the amount of the outstanding portion of their claims held on account of the Senior Notes on the
effective date of the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the Plan, as amended on May&nbsp;9, 2008, it is contemplated that all unsecured creditors, who include,
but are not limited to, the Company&#146;s trade creditors,, Hillside with respect to its unsecured claims, certain participants in the Company&#146;s Supplemental Retirement Plans and holders of claims arising from environmental remediation
obligations, will have the option to receive either a pro rata share of the new common stock of Reorganized Ampex (&#147;New Common Stock&#148;) or the lesser of $5,000 or cash equal to the percentage recovery that such creditor would have received
had there been no cash election (&#147;the Lump Sum Cash Payment&#148;), in full satisfaction of their claims. Shares of New Common Stock are not expected to be registered or traded on any public exchange. </FONT></P> <P

11. Upon the Debtors&#146; emergence from chapter 11 the New Common Stock will not be publicly traded. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the existing Common Stock was delisted from Nasdaq on May&nbsp;8, 2008. Holders of existing Common Stock,
stock options or restricted stock awards will receive no distribution. Although holders of existing Common Stock will not receive any distributions on account of their interests, as a result of the compromises and settlements set forth in the Plan,
holders of existing Common Stock (including restricted stock) that do not object to the Plan will be eligible to receive certain rights that provide for the pro rata distribution of net cash proceeds from new licensing and other monetization
initiatives related to the Debtors&#146; intellectual property after amounts required to retire all outstanding debt, preferred stock and scheduled pension contributions and other obligations are first recovered. Once net cash proceeds totaling
approximately $83.8 million have been received by the Reorganized Debtors, the holders of these rights will be entitled to receive their pro rata share of 50% of all subsequent net proceeds related to the Debtors&#146; intellectual property as set
forth above, net of expenses of administering those rights (the &#147;Contingent Payment Rights&#148; or &#147;CPRs&#148;). There can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtors will be able to generate any future licensing revenue or other
proceeds from other monetization initiatives or, if they do, whether they will attain sufficient levels required to provide for distributions to the holders of these rights. The Debtors do not believe that the CPRs will constitute securities; the

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company disposed of the Media subsidiary in 1995. However, the Company has a continuing liability with respect to environmental matters pertaining to
Media&#146;s sites and activities. The measurement of its obligation and recognition of expense for environmental matters directly related to Media&#146;s operations is accounted for under SFAS No.&nbsp;5, &#147;Accounting for Contingencies.&#148;
On January&nbsp;10, 2005, Media filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on the Company&#146;s assessment of Media&#146;s financial condition and understanding of its environmental remediation obligations, the Company recorded an
estimate of amounts probable of incurrence by the Company for future clean up costs of $2.5 million at December&nbsp;31, 2004. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company paid $0.2 million against the net liabilities of these
discontinued operations. The Company made payments against net liabilities of these discontinued operations in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008. The unamortized balance in the net liabilities of discontinued operations pertaining to the
environmental matters of the former Media subsidiary totaled $2.0 million at March&nbsp;31, 2008. The Company expects to be assessed in 2008 its pro rata share of the remediation costs totaling $0.8 million with the balance to be paid out over the
next ten years. This obligation has not been discounted to present value. Under the Plan, the Company intends to seek a discharge of its environmental obligations. See Note 3. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2001, the Company closed its Internet video operations. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid $133 thousand and
$22 thousand, respectively, against the net liabilities of these discontinued operations. The unamortized balance in the net liabilities of discontinued operations pertaining to the former Internet video operations totaled $77 thousand at
March&nbsp;31, 2008. The Company made payments on office leases and received sublet income as it relates to this discontinued operation through April 2008. The Company evaluates the amount of net liabilities for discontinued operations, including
projected sublet income, on a quarterly basis, and it may make additional adjustments in future periods if the Company determines that its actual obligations will differ significantly from remaining amounts accrued. </FONT></P> <P

in Redwood City, CA in 2001 and 2002 to consolidate operations in order to lower continuing operating expenses, and recorded a net restructuring charge of $4.2 million. In 2003, the Company established an additional reserve of $3.1 million to
reflect the inability to sublease the premises due to the continued depressed real estate market. In 2004, the Company decided to seek a buyer for its Colorado Springs manufacturing facility and reutilize, in part, the Redwood City leased facilities
that had been charged to restructuring in prior periods. As a result, the Company recognized a restructuring credit of $1.4 million. The Company remeasured the restructuring accrual pursuant to SFAS No.&nbsp;146, &#147;Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.&#148; Lease costs associated with the manufacturing activities in Redwood City are charged as incurred to the &#147;Cost of product sales&#148; of Data Systems. During the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid and charged the restructuring accrual $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to costs associated with the vacated portion of the facilities. The Company has paid and charged the
restructuring accrual $5.5 million since the inception of the 2001-2002 restructuring program. The remaining balance in accrued restructuring totaled $0.3 million at March&nbsp;31, 2008. This obligation has been discounted at 5.5%&nbsp;per annum.
The Company expects to make payments as it relates to the remaining balance of accrued restructuring through 2008. The Company evaluates the amount of accrued restructuring costs, including projected sublet income, on a quarterly basis, and it may
make additional adjustments in future periods if the Company determines that its actual obligations will differ significantly from remaining amounts accrued. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

&#147;group under common control&#148; for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (&#147;ERISA&#148;) entered into a Joint Settlement Agreement (&#147;Agreement&#148;) in connection with the 1994 reorganization of the Company&#146;s
former parent, NHI. The Agreement relates to the pension plans of the Company (the &#147;Ampex&#148; pension plan) and of its former Media subsidiaries (the &#147;Media&#148; pension plan), which are substantially underfunded. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Company and Hillside are held jointly and severally liable to the PBGC to fund the required contributions under the Ampex and Media pension plans. Pursuant to this Agreement, Hillside is obligated to advance pension contributions for
the Ampex and Media pension plans in the event the Company is unable to make the required contributions necessary in order to satisfy the minimum funding standard. Failure by Hillside to advance funds as may be required would enable the PBGC to
terminate the plans and seek recovery of termination benefits from Hillside and Ampex. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Through March&nbsp;31, 2008, Hillside made pension

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the Hillside-Ampex/Sherborne Agreement, dated December&nbsp;1, 1994 (the &#147;Hillside Agreement&#148;), Ampex is required to issue a
Hillside Note in the amount of any pension contributions it makes to the Ampex or Media pension plans. Under the terms of the Hillside Notes, $150,000 of principal is due on the first anniversary of the notes with the remaining principal due on the
fourth anniversary of the notes. Pursuant to amendments to the Company&#146;s senior debt agreements, all principal payments on the Hillside Notes were deferred until various dates occurring after December&nbsp;31, 2006. The Hillside Notes provide
for interest paid quarterly at 1 percent plus 175% of the applicable mid-term federal rate (effective rate of 6.13% at March&nbsp;31, 2008). The Company granted to Hillside a security interest in Data Systems&#146; inventory and subsequent proceeds
from the sale of inventory as collateral for the Hillside Notes. The Hillside Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company&#146;s ability to declare dividends, sell all or substantially all of its
assets or commence liquidation, or engage in specified transactions with certain related parties, breach of which could result in acceleration of our potential termination liabilities. Filing for bankruptcy protection may give rise to an event of
default under the Hillside Notes. Accordingly, all Hillside Notes are classified as current obligations of the Company at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and March&nbsp;31, 2008. No adjustment to the notes to give effect to the Plan has been reflected in
these financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;13, 2007, the Company received notice from Hillside alleging that the Company had breached the
Hillside Agreement, and further alleging that if this breach was not cured by July&nbsp;23, 2007, it would constitute an event of default under the Hillside Agreement, which would entitle Hillside to declare the Hillside Notes immediately due and
payable (approximately $45&nbsp;million)&nbsp;as of that time. The Company notified Hillside that the Company does not believe that any breach had occurred, or that there was any basis for declaring a default under the Hillside Agreement or
accelerating the Hillside Notes. Any acceleration of the Hillside Notes, unless waived or rescinded, would have resulted in the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Notes, and would have entitled holders of the Senior Notes totaling
$6.9 million at March&nbsp;31, 2008 to accelerate the maturity of those obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;12, 2007,&nbsp;the Company
disclosed that it had entered into a standstill agreement with Hillside, whereby Hillside agreed not to accelerate the maturity of the Hillside Notes or commence legal actions against the Company for sixty days while the parties worked to complete
documentation of a restructuring of the Hillside Notes, clarify how future pension contributions would be funded and permit the Company to raise additional equity financing to pursue its patent monetization program (as the same was amended and or
modified from time to time, the &#147;Standstill Agreement&#148;). From September&nbsp;12, 2007 through January&nbsp;14, 2008 (the &#147;Standstill Period&#148;), the Company operated under the Standstill Agreement, and during that time, attempted
to restructure the Hillside Notes. Prior to the expiration of the Standstill Agreement, which was due to expire on its own terms on January&nbsp;15, 2008, Hillside terminated the Standstill Agreement and demanded immediate payment of approximately
$1.3 million of outstanding principal due on the Hillside Notes,&nbsp;and demanded payment of approximately $1.4 million of accrued interest due on the Hillside Notes within ten days. At that time, Hillside further reasserted its allegation that the
Company had breached the Hillside Agreement. Hillside stated in its notice to the Company that if the Company failed to make the principal and interest payments then due on the Hillside Notes and cure the alleged breach within the specified periods,
it would constitute an event of default under the Hillside Agreement, which would entitle&nbsp;Hillside to accelerate repayment of the outstanding Hillside Notes. Based upon its cash position,&nbsp;the Company determined that it was not financially
prudent to repay the $2.7 million demanded by and due to Hillside, but the Company continued its efforts to negotiate a restructuring plan for the Hillside debt. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During and after the Standstill Period, the Company and Hillside engaged in negotiations over the terms of a consensual restructuring. Several different proposals were presented and considered by the Company&#146;s
officers (the &#147;Management&#148;) and board of directors (the &#147;Board&#148;). The Company also analyzed several other possibilities for reorganizing our capital structure. On January&nbsp;29, 2008, Hillside delivered a revised restructuring
proposal (as the same was amended or modified from time to time, the &#147;Hillside Term Sheet&#148;). The Board and Management reviewed the Hillside Term Sheet and determined that it presented the best option for a consensual restructuring of the
Hillside Notes and the best opportunity to maximize value for the Company&#146;s noteholders and perhaps the only opportunity to realize the value of Ampex&#146;s unlicensed patents. The Plan is based on the Hillside Term Sheet,&nbsp;as amended
during the course of the Company&#146;s and Hillside&#146;s negotiations. A summary of the terms of the Plan is described in Note 3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

$76,200 claim held by the Company against NHI. Of this amount, on or about March&nbsp;27, 2008, approximately $165,700 of this claim was satisfied by the conversion of the amount of the claim into 6,529 shares of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A
Common Stock, which stock is intended to be distributed to creditors of NHI pursuant to NHI&#146;s 1994 chapter 11 plan. Of the remaining $339,800 of NHI&#146;s asserted claims against the Company, the Company disputes and, in the context of its
chapter 11 case, shall object to allowance of $307,300 of this amount. The remaining $32,500 of this claim, which the Company does not presently dispute, is intended to be satisfied pursuant to the Company&#146;s Plan in 2008. This $32,500 claim
will be classified as a General Unsecured Claim in the Plan. Holders of General Unsecured Claims are contemplated to receive their pro rata share of New Common Stock, unless such holders elect to receive the Lump Sum Cash Payment in full and final
satisfaction of their claims. See Note 3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Note 15 &#150; Commitments and Contingencies </B></FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 2004, the Company initiated litigation against Eastman Kodak Company (&#147;Kodak&#148;) for their infringement of one of its patents, the &#147;121&#148; patent, in the International Trade Commission
(&#147;ITC&#148;) and also, at the same time, in U.S. District Court in Delaware (&#147;District Court&#148;). The ITC case was subsequently withdrawn to enable the District Court case to proceed. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On November&nbsp;21, 2006, the District Court granted final judgment in favor of Kodak. The Company appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit, and this court ruled on February&nbsp;7, 2008, affirming the decision of the District Court without opinion. Since the &#147;121&#148; patent expired on April&nbsp;11, 2006, the Court&#146;s decision will not affect past or
future licensing revenues from existing licensees. Kodak has claimed that Ampex committed &#147;inequitable conduct&#148; in connection with the &#147;121&#148; patent. This claim has been stayed pending resolution of the appeal. Kodak has until May
2008 to decide whether to pursue this claim. If Kodak&#146;s claim is proven, the District Court has the prerogative to grant Kodak recovery of some or all its legal fees which the Company believes could be significant. The Company has been advised
that Kodak has filed an unsecured claim in the amount of approximately $145 thousand, which will be resolved in the claims reconciliation process of the Chapter 11 Cases. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

from waste emissions and hazardous substances. Also, the Company may have continuing liability with respect to environmental contamination related to the facilities and disposal activities of its former Media subsidiary. The Company is also subject
to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act and other laws and regulations affecting the safety and health of employees in its facilities. Management believes that the Company is generally in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable environmental and occupational safety laws and regulations or has plans to bring operations into compliance. Management does not anticipate that capital expenditures for pollution control equipment for fiscal 2008 will be material.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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. The Company has four environmental investigation,
remediation and/or monitoring activities outstanding at March&nbsp;31, 2008. Three sites are associated with the operations of Media while the fourth relates directly to a disposal activity of the Company. Some of these activities involve the
participation of state and local government agencies. Although the Company disposed of Media in November 1995, it remains liable with respect to environmental contamination at these sites if Media fails to discharge its responsibilities with respect
to such sites. On January&nbsp;10, 2005, Media filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently Media&#146;s assets were sold for nominal consideration to an investor group that is operating the Company, and is performing
mandated clean up activities at the manufacturing facility. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, the Company continually conducts studies, individually or jointly with other
responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is the Company&#146;s policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim
payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on the Company&#146;s best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. At March&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company has recorded
a liability of $0.1 million for pending environmental liabilities associated with activities by the Company and has recorded a liability with respect to discontinued operations of $2.0 million, of which $0.8 million is classified as a current
liability as it is expected to be paid in 2008, for the estimated expenses it projects it will incur with respect to the three Media sites discussed above. The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the
range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of its accruals. The amounts of additional liabilities that may be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements could be material to its consolidated results of
operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering past experience and existing reserves, the Company does not expect that these environmental matters will have a material effect on its consolidated results of
operations in the periods recognized. These liabilities have not been discounted, as neither the amount nor timing of future payments are fixed. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional
technical or legal information becomes available. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties. </FONT></P> <P

and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they were serving at its request in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer
Insurance Policy that enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of the insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s sales agreements indemnify its customers for any expenses or liability resulting from claimed infringements of patents, trademarks or
copyrights of third parties. The terms of these indemnification agreements are generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. However, to date, the Company has not paid any
claims nor been required to defend any lawsuits with respect to any claim. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has guaranteed certain lease payments with respect
to equipment and real estate of subsidiaries. The Company has recorded accrued restructuring costs or net liabilities of discontinued operations for substantially the full amount of its guarantees, net of the anticipated sublease income expected to
be realized. There is no sublease income exposure at March&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods
ranging from 90 days to one year. The Company accrues a warranty reserve at the time of sale for estimated costs to provide warranty services over the warranty period. The estimate of costs to service the Company&#146;s warranty obligations is based
on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent that the Company experiences increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, the warranty accrual will increase, resulting in
decreased gross profit. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Plan Sponsor of Pension and Other Retirement Plans </I></B></FONT></P> <P

three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009, which are estimated to total $11.6 million, have been excluded from current pension and other retirement plans and have been classified as long-term obligations. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s domestic employees participate in a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan. Benefits are based on years of service and
salary levels during the highest 60 consecutive months of the last 120 consecutive months of service. The Company is also the Plan Sponsor of the pension plan of Media, a former subsidiary that was sold in 1995. In early 1994, the Company amended
the plans to terminate benefit service and compensation credit accruals as of February&nbsp;1, 1994. The impact of this curtailment was not material to the Company&#146;s liability accounts relating to its pension plans. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 1995 sale agreement for Media required the buyer, Quantegy Corporation, to pay directly or to reimburse Ampex for required contributions to the Media
pension plan. This agreement was intended to make Ampex whole from any expense or cash outlay as it pertained to the Media pension plan. However, the Company remained the Plan Sponsor of the Media pension plan and remained obligated to make pension
contributions to that plan. During 2006 and 2005, Media did not pay directly or reimburse Ampex for pension contributions made on Media&#146;s behalf. Reimbursement payments reduce actuarially determined &#147;Media pension costs&#148; and are
reflected in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) when such payments are assured of collection. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

at March&nbsp;31, 2008. The Company also remains obligated to make supplemental retirement benefit payments to certain retired employees pursuant to plans that were established under prior ownership. Benefit payments are determined based on a
percentage of the employee&#146;s compensation and are funded out of cash flow generated by the business. The Company has accrued the actuarial present value of the estimated future payments due under the plans based on the same discount rate and
mortality assumption used in the defined benefit plans. Amounts included as a current and long-term obligation in &#147;pension and other retirement plans&#148; for the supplemental retirement programs were $0.7 million and $6.0 million,
respectively, at March&nbsp;31, 2008. Under the Plan, certain supplemental retirement program obligations will be cancelled in exchange for New Common Stock after the Company emerges from chapter 11. See Note 3. </FONT></P> <P

Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#151;an interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109&#148; (&#147;FIN 48&#148;). The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of
adoption of FIN 48 was immaterial. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008, there were no changes
to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company classifies any interest and penalties as income tax expense in its statements of operations. The Company has not recognized any amount of
interest or penalties in its statement of operations during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 or in its balance sheet as of March&nbsp;31, 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state (principally California) and foreign (principally Japan) jurisdictions. The tax years 1994-2007 remain open to examination by the federal and state tax
authorities due to certain net operation loss and overall credit carryforward positions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company must make certain estimates and
judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and
expense for tax and financial statement purposes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the net deferred
tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company must increase its provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets and NOLs that the Company estimates will more likely than not ultimately not be recoverable.
Since the Company has reported losses in recent years, it cannot determine that it is probable that it will recover the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to such deferred tax assets.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The provision for income taxes for the three month periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 included foreign and state income taxes and
withholding taxes on royalty revenue. At December&nbsp;31, 2007, the Company had federal NOLs for income tax purposes of approximately $200 million, expiring in the years 2009 through 2027. In addition, the Company had federal capital loss
carryforwards totaling $8.8 million at December&nbsp;31, 2007, which may be utilized to offset capital gains, if any, generated in future periods. Cancellation of indebtedness arising from the chapter 11 reorganization will reduce the amount of NOL
carryforwards by approximately $50 million. The remaining NOL carryforwards may be subject to limitation under U.S. and state income tax laws. Pursuant to these loss limitation rules, the utilization of NOL and credit carry forwards of a loss
corporation are limited if there is greater than a 50% cumulative shift in the ownership of its stock. However section 382(l)(5) and section 382(l)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code provide exceptions to the above described limitation if the shift in
ownership is as a result of bankruptcy filing under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A taxpayer that takes advantage of the section 382(l)(5) exception will lose its entire pre-bankruptcy NOLs if within a period of two years from the date of the
first shift in the ownership of its stock, it experiences a second shift in ownership that is greater than 50%. If the New Common Stock experiences such a shift, the Company will not be able to utilize its NOLs in future years, thereby negatively
affecting the value ascribed to the business upon emergence, its cash balances and liquidity. Under section 382(l)(6) NOL carryforwards are limited to an annual amount based on the new equity value of the Company multiplied by the long-term Federal
discount rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Note 20 &#150; Segment Reporting </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

pension contributions that does not over-leverage us in future years. At March&nbsp;31, 2008, we had outstanding debt totaling $59.6 million, which consisted of $6.9 million of Senior Notes, and $52.7 million of principal and interest outstanding
under the Hillside Notes. Under the terms of the Hillside Notes, $3.6 million is due currently and another $5.5 million of principal and interest is due at various times in 2008. Substantial debt service under the Hillside Notes is due in 2009 and
beyond. As more fully explained in Note 13, the Hillside Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of a funding agreement by and between Hillside, the Company and certain other parties, in connection with a settlement agreement between the Company,
Hillside and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (&#147;PBGC&#148;) whereby Hillside Capital Incorporated (&#147;Hillside&#148;) is jointly and severally obligated along with us to make pension contributions under the Ampex pension plan and the

generates revenues from licenses we grant to companies covering a variety of technologies that we developed in prior years when we designed and manufactured digital video tape recorders and special effects products used in the professional
television broadcast and post production industries. Historically, our licensees included other competitive manufacturers of professional products as well as manufacturers of consumer products where we did not compete but where our technology was
relevant to their products&#146; functionality. Licensing our intellectual property has been a significant business segment since 1968. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In
recent years, we received substantial royalties from manufacturers of digital still cameras who licensed our rapid image retrieval (&#147;121&#148;) patent. This patent expired in April 2006. Today, the majority of our licensing revenue is derived
from manufacturers of digital camcorders who we believe use several of our digital compression and image processing patents. These patents expire from 2012 to 2014. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe that many of these same patents are also used, or may be used in the future as improved image quality is desired, by manufacturers of digital still cameras, camera-equipped cellular phones and cable set top
boxes. These are very large markets and, if we are successful in executing license agreements with the major manufacturers of these products, we would realize a substantial increase in revenues and profitability. We have had numerous discussions
with manufacturers of a variety of additional digital video consumer products regarding the possible use of several of our patents, including those discussed above. However, we have not been able to prove infringement and as a result have been
unable to conclude new licensing agreements. Due to changes in patent laws and our limited financial resources we do not believe it is practical to pursue a traditional patent licensing strategy, but we are evaluating other strategies to monetize
our intellectual property, including the sale of patents or formation of joint ventures with third parties that have greater financial resources and may be able to pursue patent licensing strategies. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many of our patents that are relevant to consumer products are the result of design work on professional and broadcast television products. These are
markets that we do not presently pursue actively. Therefore, as our patents that are useful in consumer products expire, we may not be able to replace them, with the result that we might cease to receive patent royalties in the future. </FONT></P>

if successful, should generate increased sales and profits for the Recorders segment. In addition, we have recently introduced several new multiplexer modules, devices that permit various signals to be recorded simultaneously from different sources,
for use with our instrumentation recorders, a new miniature recorder for use in applications where space is especially constrained, and the new high definition video recorder. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;109&#148; (&#147;FIN&nbsp;48&#148;). FIN&nbsp;48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It
also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN&nbsp;48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006 and was adopted by us on a
prospective basis in the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any effect on our financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;157, &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148; (&#147;SFAS&nbsp;157&#148;). SFAS&nbsp;157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to
investors&#146; requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS&nbsp;157
applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS&nbsp;157 is effective for financial instruments beginning in January
2008 and non-financial interests beginning in January 2009 and was adopted by us in the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2008. The adoption of SFAS&nbsp;157 did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In February&nbsp;2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;159, &#147;The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities&#151;Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;115&#148; (&#147;SFAS&nbsp;159&#148;). SFAS&nbsp;159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried
at fair value. Under SFAS&nbsp;159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other
eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If
the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument
basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to
beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS&nbsp;159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and was adopted by us in the first quarter
of fiscal 2008. We have not expanded the use of fair value accounting to any of our eligible items, accordingly, the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;159 did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141R, Business Combinations (&#147;SFAS 141R&#148;). SFAS 141R requires the acquiring
entity in a business combination to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after
the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December&nbsp;15, 2008. We are required to adopt SFAS 141R in the first quarter of 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

as follows: when we enter into an agreement with a new licensee for use of our patents, we may receive settlement of &#147;past due&#148; royalties. This is a negotiated amount and is typically paid by the licensee within 30 days of signing the
license agreement. Past due royalties cover the licensee&#146;s product shipments from the period when they were first notified of infringement up through the effective date of the license. We may also negotiate a &#147;prepayment&#148; of royalties
that would otherwise be due up to a specific future date. The amounts due under our negotiated agreements for both past due royalties and prepayment of royalties are non-refundable and non-forfeitable. We recognize both past due and prepayment
amounts as revenue in the period when the agreement has been executed by both parties, which is when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, fees become fixed or determinable and collection becomes probable, as we have no future obligations
with respect to these agreements and delivery has occurred. Alternatively, our licensing agreement may include a &#147;running&#148; royalty which covers products shipped by the licensee in the current period after the date that the license
agreement has been entered into and until the patent has expired or when the patent is no longer contractually available to the licensee, if shorter. Our running royalties are computed as a percentage of the selling price of the licensee&#146;s
products and are paid quarterly in arrears and recognized as revenue at the time the amount of the quarterly royalty payment becomes determinable, generally upon receipt of the licensee&#146;s sales report upon which royalties are determined, and
collection is reasonably assured. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Since our accounts receivable are

years we expect to support such products but not in excess of 30 months. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by Management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Additionally, our estimates of future
product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. If our inventory were determined to be overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs
in our cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, however, any significant unanticipated change in demand or technological development could have a

unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We record an additional charge in our provision for taxes in the period in which we determine that

Other Postretirement Plans,&#148; an amendment of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;87, 88, 106 and 132(R), as of December&nbsp;31, 2006. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;158, the funded status of each pension and other postretirement benefit plan is required to be
reported as an asset (for overfunded plans) or a liability (for underfunded plans) at December&nbsp;31, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No.&nbsp;158 had no impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statement of Operations and Comprehensive
Income (Loss). The determination of our obligation and expense for pension and other postretirement benefits payable to Ampex&#146;s and Media&#146;s employees and retirees is dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in
calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and mortality assumptions for the plan participants. In accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;158, actual results that
differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. </FONT></P> <P

stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award&#146;s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (&#147;BSM&#148;) option-pricing model and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service
period. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including volatility, forfeiture rates, and expected option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ
materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. Prior to 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (&#147;APB&#148;) Opinion No.&nbsp;25, &#147;Accounting

estimated loss from a loss contingency when information available prior to issuance of our financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements
and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies such as our obligations to fund Media&#146;s environmental remediation costs, as well as obligations involving legal, income tax and other matters, requires us to
use our judgment. While we believe that our accruals for these matters are adequate, if the actual loss from a loss contingency is significantly different than the estimated loss, our results of operations may be over- or understated. </FONT></P> <P

continually assess these contingencies based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Such analysis includes making judgments concerning matters such as the extent of
environmental damage and our pro rata participation, if applicable, the most desirable remediation techniques and the time period during which the cleanup costs may be incurred. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time,
liabilities may change in the future due to new developments or other changes. For a discussion of our contingencies related to environmental matters, including management&#146;s judgment applied in the recognition and measurement of specific

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">activities and airframe flight certification. Revenues in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 from these new data acquisition recorders declined to
$1.2 million from $4.0 million in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The decline in product revenue in 2008 from 2007 is due to the completion of a multi-year contract with The Boeing Company for our new disk- and solid state-based data
instrumentation recorders used in the development of the 787 airplane. Subsequent to the quarter end, we received a $3.2 million order from The Boeing Company to provide new disk and solid state-based instrumentation recorders to be delivered over
the next several quarters. Government agencies and defense contractors have historically experienced significant pressure to reduce spending and we expect them to experience such pressure in the future, which may lead to sales declines. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our backlog of firm orders was $2.7 million at both March&nbsp;31, 2008 and December&nbsp;31, 2007. We typically operate with low levels of backlog,
requiring us to obtain the majority of each period&#146;s orders in the same period that they must be shipped to the customer. Historically, a small number of large orders have significantly impacted sales levels and often orders are received late
in the quarter, making it difficult to predict revenue levels in future periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Service Revenue.</I> Total service revenue generated
by our Recorders segment in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 was $1.5 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. We expect that service revenue will decline over time as older tape-based products are
replaced with newer disk- or solid state memory-based instrumentation recorders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Intellectual Property Costs</I>. Intellectual property
costs include external legal costs, amounts paid to external consultants as well as certain internal costs, described below, pertaining to efforts to monetize our patents. Intellectual property costs also include external accounting costs incurred
in investigating the validity and enforceability of our patents and auditing royalty reports. Intellectual property costs fluctuate widely between periods based primarily on whether or not we are pursuing patent litigation. During the years ended
2007, 2006 and 2005, we incurred significant external legal costs in preparing for patent enforcement suits in the ITC and in the District Court that totaled $0.5 million, $8.6 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Our external litigation costs
related to patent infringement are expected to remain at low levels during 2008. While our strategy is to negotiate reasonable royalty agreements, we may seek to enforce our patents by instituting additional litigation against other manufacturers of
digital still cameras and other products where our technology is being used, if licensing agreements are not completed on satisfactory terms. There is no direct cost of goods sold associated with licensing revenue. We have an internal staff of
lawyers, engineers and employ outside contractors that are principally involved in negotiating and monitoring our licensing agreements. Their compensation, travel expenditures and other direct costs are included as intellectual property costs. We do
not allocate any general corporate overhead to our Licensing segment. Compensation includes incentive payments under long-term incentive plans earned by our employees based on amounts collected from our licensees. Beginning in 2007 we engaged
independent patent research and evaluation companies to appraise our intellectual property and to identify third parties that might be interested in forming joint ventures or otherwise help us monetize our intellectual property. However, these
efforts have not resulted in any new license agreements or patent related revenues to date, and we cannot assure you that they will do so in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT

in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to 49.5% in the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. Our cost of product sales percentage fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the volume and mix of product shipped in the
period. The increase in the cost of product revenue percentage in 2008 when compared to 2007 was due to the decreased sales volume in 2008, which resulted in lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. </FONT></P> <P

March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 included foreign and state income taxes and withholding taxes on royalty revenue generated in certain Far East locations. At December&nbsp;31, 2007, we had federal NOLs for income tax purposes of approximately $200
million, expiring in the years 2009 through 2027. In addition, we have federal capital loss carryforwards totaling $8.8 million at December&nbsp;31, 2007, which may be utilized to offset capital gains, if any, generated in future periods.
Cancellation of indebtedness arising from the chapter 11 reorganization will reduce the amount of NOL carryforwards by approximately $50 million. The remaining NOL carryforwards may be subject to limitation under U.S. and state income tax laws.
Pursuant to these loss limitation rules, the utilization of NOL and credit carryforwards of a loss corporation are limited if there is greater than a 50% cumulative shift in the ownership of its stock. However section 382(l)(5) and section 382(l)(6)
of the Internal Revenue Code provide exceptions to the above described limitation if the shift in ownership is as a result of bankruptcy filing under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A taxpayer that takes advantage of the section 382(l)(5)
exception will lose its entire pre-bankruptcy NOL&#146;s if within a period of two years from the date of the first shift in the ownership of its stock, it experiences a second shift in ownership that is greater than 50%. If the New Common Stock
experiences such a shift, we will not be able to utilize our NOL&#146;s in future years, thereby negatively affecting the value ascribed to the business upon emergence, our cash balances and liquidity. Under section 382(l)(6) NOL carryforwards are
limited to an annual amount based on the new equity value of the company multiplied by the long-term Federal discount rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Net Income

segment in excess of related operating expenses and certain other expenses, including patent litigation costs, is first required to be applied to reduce debt, which at March&nbsp;31, 2008 totaled $59.6 million. During 2007, we initiated discussions
with Hillside to restructure the Hillside Notes which ultimately lead to the commencement of our Chapter 11 Cases. The Plan, which is more fully described above under &#147;Plan of Reorganization,&#148; has received the support of the holders of a

of risks related to the confirmation of the Plan and there can be no assurance that the Plan will ultimately be approved or that we will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might

patents, the &#147;121&#148; patent, in the ITC and also, at the same time, in the District Court. In the International Trade Commission (&#147;ITC&#148;) proceeding, the remedies available would have been to bar Kodak from the importation or sale
of digital still cameras or in certain circumstances to require Kodak to post a forfeitable bond on digital still cameras imported into the United States, in each case for the life of the &#147;121&#148; patent which expired in April 2006. In the
separate District Court case, we sought monetary damages for infringement of the patent from August 2001 (the date on which we gave notice of infringement) through April&nbsp;11, 2006, the date the patent expired. The ITC case was withdrawn to
enable the District Court case to proceed. On November&nbsp;21, 2006, the District Court granted final judgment in favor of Kodak. We appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and this court ruled on February&nbsp;7,
2008, affirming the decision of the District Court without opinion. Kodak has claimed that we committed &#147;inequitable conduct&#148; in connection with the &#147;121&#148; patent. Kodak has until May 2008 to decide whether to pursue this claim.
If Kodak&#146;s claim is proven, the District Court has the prerogative to grant Kodak recovery of some or all its legal fees which we believe could be significant. We have been advised that Kodak has filed an unsecured claim in the amount of
approximately $145 thousand, which will be resolved in the claims reconciliation process of the Chapter 11 Cases. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our facilities are

Media fails to discharge its responsibilities with respect to such sites. On January&nbsp;10, 2005, Media filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. During the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, we spent a total of approximately $0.2

incur with respect to former Media sites discussed above. Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to estimate with certainty the ultimate costs to be incurred upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and
neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they could be material to our consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However,

not ultimately incur liability in excess of amounts currently accrued for pending environmental matters or that additional liabilities with respect to environmental matters will not be asserted. In addition, changes in environmental regulations
could impose the need for additional capital equipment or other requirements. Such liabilities or regulations could have a material adverse effect on us in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

us to seek protection in chapter 11 without the support of our creditors and could force us to liquidate the Company under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code due to our limited unencumbered available resources. Accordingly, we may not be able to

shares of New Common Stock or a Lump Sum Cash Payment. The New Common Stock will not be publicly traded. Holders of existing Common Stock, stock options, warrants or unvested restricted stock awards will receive no distribution. Although holders of
existing Common Stock will not receive any distributions on account of their interests, as a result of the compromises and settlements set forth in the Plan, holders of existing Common Stock, including restricted stock, who do not object to the Plan
will be eligible to receive CPRs (defined below) that provide for the pro rata distribution of net cash proceeds from new licensing and other monetization initiatives related to the Debtors&#146; intellectual property after amounts required to
retire all outstanding debt, preferred stock and scheduled pension contributions and other obligations are first recovered. Once net cash proceeds totaling approximately $83.8 million have been received by the newly reorganized Debtors after they

initiatives or, if they do, whether they will attain sufficient levels required to provide for distributions to the holders of the CPRs. We do not believe that the CPRs will constitute securities; the CPRs will not be registered and will have

Carlos, California. Over the last 63 years the Debtors have developed substantial proprietary technology relating to the electronic storage, processing and retrieval of data, particularly images. The Debtors currently hold approximately 370 patents
and patent applications covering digital image processing, digital image compression and recording technologies. The Debtors&#146; corporate licensing division licenses their patents to manufacturers of professional and consumer electronics

generates revenues from licenses granted to companies covering a variety of technologies that were developed in prior years when the Debtors&#146; designed and manufactured digital video tape recorders and special effects products used in the
professional television broadcast and post production industries. Historically, the Debtors&#146; licensees included other competitive manufacturers of professional products as well as manufacturers of consumer products where the Debtors did not
directly compete but where their technology was relevant to consumer products&#146; functionality. The Licensing Segment has been a steady source of revenue since 1968. In 1968, the Debtors first licensed their intellectual property to a
manufacturer of consumer videocassette recorders (&#147;<B><U>VCRs</U></B>&#148;) and subsequently licensed such patents to essentially every significant manufacturer of VCRs in the world. As the older patents expired, the Debtors developed new
technology used in VCRs and licensees continued to pay royalties to be able to incorporate these new patents in their VCRs. In the period from 1990 to 2000, the Debtors&#146; licensing income fluctuated significantly but averaged approximately $16
million per year. VCRs were based on analog video technology. The Debtors ceased to develop analog technology many years ago. Most of the patents related to this technology expired in 2001, and the Debtors&#146; licensees no longer pay significant
royalties on analog products. However, the Debtors&#146; research and development in the field of digital video recording resulted in patents which have found application in digital camcorders, digital still cameras and potentially other products
that record still or motion video images. Today, substantially all of the Debtors&#146; licensing revenue comes from manufacturers of digital camcorders that have licensed the Company&#146;s patents that do not expire until after 2012. The Debtors
continue to explore additional ways, including possible arrangements with independent patent research and evaluation companies and other third parties, to monetize their intellectual property. There can be no assurance that these expanded efforts
will be successful. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

two business segments&#151;Licensing and Recorders. The Licensing Segment, although presently a stable source of predictable revenue, may not experience growth. Absent new developments, this segment will cease to be profitable once the patents on
which current revenue is based expire over the next four to seven years. The Recorders Segment, a business reliant on developing high performance data instrumentation recorders and mass storage systems, generated $5.7 million of EBIDTA in 2007. Data
Systems is pursuing new product initiatives and hopes to broaden its customer base to multiple branches of the U.S. military and other defense markets which will require additional investments in research and engineering as well as sales and
marketing during 2008. Accordingly, EBITDA in 2008 is forecasted to be at lower levels than amounts realized in recent years. These investments are intended to position Data Systems for profitable growth in 2009 and beyond. Unfortunately, given the
Company&#146;s debt structure, most notably its legacy liabilities, the Company is unable to sustain its current leverage through its operations and needs to restructure its obligations. </FONT></P> <P

of cash flow that their businesses, as presently configured, are projected to generate. The Debtors currently project cash flow shortfalls of approximately $17 million in 2010, $41 million in 2011, and $65 million in 2012, respectively. The Debtors
have pursued opportunities to reduce their costs, restructure their existing indebtedness, raise additional capital and generate additional revenues in order to eliminate or defer these projected cash flow shortfalls. However, these efforts have not

Contributions for the Pension Plans in the event that the Debtors are unable to make the Required Contributions necessary to satisfy the minimum funding standard of ERISA. Failure by Hillside to advance funds as may be required may entitle the PBGC
to terminate the Pension Plans and seek recovery of termination benefits from Hillside and the Debtors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">When Hillside makes all or any
portion of a Required Contribution to the Pension Plans under the PBGC Agreement, pursuant to the HSA Agreement, the Debtors issue additional Hillside Notes. Under the terms of the Hillside Notes, $150,000 of principal is due on the first
anniversary of each of the notes with the remaining principal due on the fourth anniversary of the notes. As of March&nbsp;30, 2008, the outstanding obligations under the Hillside Notes, including interest, totaled approximately $52.7 million.

raising additional third-party debt so that the Debtors might pursue additional &#147;non-litigation&#148; patent monetization strategies and their plans to grow Data Systems. Hillside issued a counter-proposal which the Company rejected on the
basis that it did not maximize the value of the Company for all relevant stakeholders. Over the last several months, the Debtors have engaged in discussions with Hillside regarding a possible restructuring of their indebtedness. These discussions
have focused on a myriad of different restructuring possibilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Also during this period, the Debtors contacted a number of financial
institutions and other interested parties, including holders of the Existing Common Stock to solicit their interest in raising a minimum of $15 million of additional capital through a rights offering. Unfortunately, this and other efforts proved
unsuccessful. This issue was further compounded by the threat of acceleration of long term indebtedness, the cost of Required Contributions, and recent tightening in the credit markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;13, 2007, the Debtors received notice from Hillside alleging that the Debtors had breached the HSA Agreement by failing to use commercially reasonable means to make the Required Contribution or any
portion thereof. Such notice further alleged that, if the breach was not cured within ten days, it would constitute an event of default under the HSA Agreement, which would entitle Hillside to declare all of the Hillside Notes immediately due and
payable (approximately $45 million) as of that time. The Debtors believed and continue to believe that they did not breach the HSA Agreement and that Hillside had no valid basis to declare a default under the HSA Agreement, which Hillside continues
to dispute. Nonetheless, any acceleration of the Hillside Notes, unless waived or rescinded, would have resulted in the occurrence of an event of default under certain of the Debtors&#146; other obligations, including approximately $6.9 million of
Senior Secured Notes, which would have entitled the holders of such Senior Secured Notes to accelerate the maturity of those obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">On September&nbsp;12, 2007, the Debtors disclosed that they had entered into a Standstill Agreement with Hillside, whereby Hillside agreed not to accelerate the maturity of the Hillside Notes or commence legal actions against the Debtors
for sixty (60)&nbsp;days while the parties worked to complete documentation of a restructuring of the Hillside Notes, clarify how future pension contributions would be funded and permit the Debtors to raise additional equity financing to pursue its
patent monetization program (as the same was amended and or modified from time to time, the &#147;<B><U>Standstill Agreement</U></B>&#148;). From September&nbsp;12, 2007 through January&nbsp;14, 2008 (the &#147;<B><U>Standstill
Period</U></B>&#148;), the Debtors operated under the Standstill Agreement, and during that time, attempted to restructure the Hillside Notes. Prior to the expiration of the Standstill Agreement, which was due to expire on its own terms on
January&nbsp;15, 2008, Hillside terminated the Standstill Agreement and demanded immediate payment of approximately $1.3 million of outstanding principal due on the Hillside Notes, and demanded payment of approximately $1.4 million of accrued
interest due on the Hillside Notes within ten (10)&nbsp;days. At that time, Hillside further reasserted its allegation that the Debtors had breached the HSA Agreement. Hillside stated in its notice to the Debtors that if they failed to make the
principal and interest payments then due on the Hillside Notes and cure the alleged breach within the specified periods, it would constitute an event of default under the HSA Agreement, which would entitle Hillside to accelerate repayment of the
outstanding Hillside Notes. Based upon the Company&#146;s cash position, the Company determined that it was not financially prudent to repay the $2.7 million demanded by and due to Hillside but would continue its efforts to negotiate a restructuring
plan for the Hillside debt. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During and after the Standstill Period, the Debtors and Hillside engaged in negotiations over the terms of a
consensual restructuring. Several different proposals were presented and considered by the Debtors&#146; management (the &#147;<B><U>Management</U></B>&#148;) and Ampex&#146;s board of directors (the &#147;<B><U>Board</U></B>&#148;). The Debtors
also analyzed several other possibilities for reorganizing its capital structure. On January&nbsp;29, 2008, Hillside delivered a revised restructuring proposal (as the same was amended or modified from time to time, the &#147;<B><U>Hillside Term
Sheet</U></B>&#148;). The Board and Management reviewed the Hillside Term Sheet and determined that it presented the best option for a consensual restructuring of the Hillside Notes and the best opportunity to maximize value for the Debtors&#146;
stakeholders and perhaps the only opportunity to realize the value of Ampex&#146;s unlicensed Patents. The Plan is based substantially on the Hillside Term </FONT>

the New Common Stock into Cash for a fixed price and without related costs of future liquidation. Further, by making the election to receive a Lump Sum Cash Payment the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim eliminates the risk associated
with the ability to divest the New Common Stock in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><U>Voting</U>: The General Unsecured Claims are impaired Claims, and the

believe that the releases by each of the Debtors and the holders of Claims and Interests of each of the Released Parties as described in this Section&nbsp;6.16, and Sections 12.7(a) and 12.7(b) of the Plan (the &#147;<B><U>Releases</U></B>&#148;),
are extremely important to the success of the Plan. The Debtors have received substantial contributions to the Plan from each of the Released Parties. The Released Parties have played a critical role in the formulation of the Debtors&#146; Plan and
have expended an immense amount of time and resources analyzing and negotiating the complex issues presented by the Debtors&#146; capital structure. The Plan reflects the settlement and resolution of several of these complex issues. The Releases are
an integral part of the consideration to be received in connection with the compromises and resolutions embodied in the Plan and the Debtors have received substantial consideration in exchange for the Releases. Without the Releases provided in the
Plan, the Debtors would not be able to complete a successful reorganization of the Debtors&#146; Estates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As evidenced by the Plan Support
Agreement, many of the Released Parties have expended considerable time, energy and expense in the process of negotiating the complex issues underlying these cases &#151; a commitment that resulted in the Plan and the Plan Support Agreement. An
important component of the settlements embodied in the Plan, is the Consenting Holders&#146; protection from liability in connection with their pre and postpetition involvement in these cases. Without such protection, the Plan Support Agreement and
the Plan would never have garnered such widespread support, making it impossible for the Debtors&#146; near-term emergence from chapter 11. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Many of the Released Parties have made significant non-monetary contributions to the Plan and the Plan process, a fact that supports the Debtors&#146; decision to grant third-party releases. Absent the tireless efforts of the various
constituencies who came together to work out the terms of a Plan, supported by approximately [80]% in amount of the holders of the Debtors&#146; Senior Secured Notes and the Debtors&#146; largest secured and unsecured creditor, aimed at resolving
these cases, the Debtors and certain of their largest creditors would likely remain mired in complex and contentious litigation for years to come, threatening to materially delay and reduce distributions to all creditors. Moreover, pursuant to the
Plan, Hillside is contributing value to which it would otherwise be entitled in the form of the Distribution Rights to holders of Allowed Existing Common Stock Interests that do not object to confirmation of the Plan. Further, Hillside is lending to
the Debtors up to $5 million in exit financing and consenting to continue to carry up to another $20 million in additional indebtedness. The Senior Secured Noteholders are consenting to continue to carry additional indebtedness on account of their

cases; absent such willingness, the Plan would not have been possible, and the Debtors&#146; may have been unable to reorganize. The substantial and extensive contributions by the Released Parties &#151; both monetary and non-monetary &#151; further
justify the non-Debtor releases set forth in the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, an identity of interest exists between the Debtors and certain

Bankruptcy Code permits a plan to be confirmed only if confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization. For purposes of determining whether the Plan meets this requirement, the Debtors have
analyzed their ability to meet their obligations under the Plan. As part of this analysis, the Debtors have prepared projections of the financial performance of the Reorganized Debtors for each of the five fiscal years from 2008 through 2012 (the
&#147;<B><U>Financial Projections</U></B>&#148;). The Financial Projections, and the assumptions on which they are based, are set forth in the Projected Financial Information contained in <U>Exhibit 6</U> hereto. Based upon these projections, the
Debtors believe that they will be able to make all payments required pursuant to the Plan while conducting ongoing business operations and, therefore, that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further
reorganization. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Financial Projections are based on the assumption that the Plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and, for
projection purposes, that the Effective Date under the Plan will occur in [July] 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">THE PROJECTIONS, INCLUDING THE UNDERLYING
ASSUMPTIONS, SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED IN EVALUATING THE PLAN. WHILE MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE PROJECTIONS, WHEN CONSIDERED ON AN OVERALL BASIS, ARE REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND EXPECTATIONS, NO
ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED. THE DEBTORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THE PROJECTIONS. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">The Debtors have prepared these financial projections based upon certain assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Those assumptions considered to be significant are described in <U>Exhibit 6</U>. The financial
projections have not been examined or compiled by independent accountants. The Debtors make no representation as to the accuracy of the projections or their ability to achieve the projected results. Many of the assumptions on which the projections
are based are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize and unanticipated events and
circumstances may affect the actual financial results. Therefore, the actual results achieved throughout the 5-year period of the Financial Projections may vary from the projected results and the variations may be material. All holders of Claims
that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan are urged to examine carefully all of the assumptions on which the financial projections are based in connection with their evaluation of the Plan. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">An estimate of total enterprise value is not entirely mathematical, but, rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning various factors that could affect the value of an operating business.
Moreover, the value of an operating business is subject to uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in factors affecting the financial conditions and prospects of such a business. As a result, the
estimate of total enterprise value set forth herein is not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those set forth herein. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainties,
neither the Debtors, CM&amp;D, ThinkFire, nor any other person assumes responsibility for their accuracy. Depending on the results of the Debtors&#146; operations or changes in the financial markets, the valuation analysis as of the Effective Date

contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict. Actual market prices of such securities at issuance will depend upon, among other things, prevailing interest rates; conditions in the financial markets; the anticipated initial securities
holdings of prepetition creditors, some of which may prefer to liquidate their investment rather than hold it on a long term basis; and other factors that generally influence the prices of securities. Actual market prices of such securities also may
be affected by the Reorganization Cases or by other factors not possible to predict. Accordingly, Estimated Reorganized Debtors&#146; Enterprise Value set forth herein does not necessarily reflect, and should not be construed as reflecting, values
that will be attained in the public or private markets. The enterprise value ascribed in the analysis does not purport to be an estimate of the post reorganization market trading value. Such trading value may be materially different from the
reorganization enterprise value ranges associated with the valuation analysis. In addition, there can be no assurance that a trading market will develop for the New Common Stock. New Common Stock will not be registered nor traded in any public

assessed for commercial use, novelty, detectability, avoidability and remaining life. Using these valuation considerations, ThinkFire set a valuation range as well as an expected value for each portfolio assuming each was marketed for sale to a
broad range of prospective buyers. Publicly available historical patent sale data was considered as well as a high level review of the portfolio&#146;s potential licensing revenues were considered in estimating value. However, all existing licensing
revenue streams associated with any patent were excluded from the valuation. ThinkFire concluded the value of the overall portfolio to be in the range of $6.6 million to $18.8 million, with an expected value of approximately $10.9 million. It is

value such holder would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To determine what holders of Claims in each impaired Class would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7, the Bankruptcy Court must
determine the dollar amount that would be generated from the liquidation of the Debtors&#146; assets and properties in the context of a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Cash amount that would be available for satisfaction of
Claims and Interests would consist of the proceeds resulting from the disposition of the assets and properties of the Debtors, augmented by the Cash held by the Debtors at the time of the commencement of the liquidation case. Such Cash amount would
be (i)&nbsp;first, reduced by the amount of the Allowed Senior Secured Note Claims, the Allowed Hillside Secured Claims, and/or the Allowed Other Secured Claims, (ii)&nbsp;second, reduced by the costs and expenses of liquidation and such additional
administrative claims that might result from the termination of the Debtors&#146; business and the use of chapter 7 for the purposes of liquidation, and (iii)&nbsp;third, reduced by the Debtors&#146; costs of liquidation under chapter 7, including
the fees payable to a trustee in bankruptcy, as well as those fees that might be payable to attorneys and other professionals that such a trustee might engage. In addition, claims would arise by reason of the breach or rejection of obligations

chapter 7 case, including the Allowed Senior Secured Note Claims, the Allowed Hillside Secured Claims and the Allowed Other Secured Claims, would be less than the value of distributions under the Plan because in a chapter 7 case the Debtors would
not have the proceeds of the Exit Financing Facility to make such distributions to the holders of Allowed Claims and any distribution in a chapter 7 case would not occur for a substantial period of time. It is likely that distribution of the
proceeds of the liquidation could be delayed for two years after the completion of such liquidation in order to resolve claims and prepare for distributions. In the likely event litigation was necessary to resolve claims asserted in the chapter 7
case, the delay could be prolonged. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">CM&amp;D, with the assistance of the Debtors, has prepared a liquidation analysis which is annexed
hereto as <U>Exhibit 5</U> (the &#147;<B><U>Liquidation Analysis</U></B>&#148;). The information set forth in <U>Exhibit 5</U> provides (a)&nbsp;a summary of the liquidation values of the Debtors&#146; assets, assuming a chapter 7 liquidation in
which a trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court would liquidate the assets of the Debtors&#146; estates and (b)&nbsp;the expected recoveries of the Debtors&#146; creditors and equity interest holders under the Plan. The Liquidation Analysis
indicates that holders of the Senior Secured Note Claims, the Hillside Secured Claims, Other Secured Claims, Administrative Expense Claims and Priority Non-Tax Claims, would, after payment of liquidation costs and expenses, receive a 100% recovery
on their Claims in a liquidation scenario. Such holders would also receive 100% under the Plan. As reflected in <U>Exhibit 5</U>, the following Classes of Claims and Interests would have a zero percent (0%) recovery on their Claims in a liquidation
scenario: Existing Common Stock Interests, Existing Securities Laws Claims, and Other Existing Interests. Holders of Existing Common Stock Interests will not receive anything on account of their interests pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing; however, in light of the compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan, the holders of Allowed Existing Common Stock Interests that do not object to confirmation of the Plan may be entitled to receive CPR Distributions. As reflected in
<U>Exhibit 5</U>, the holders of impaired General Unsecured Claims would have between a [5]% and a [7]% recovery on their Claims in a liquidation and a [10]% recovery on their Claims under the Plan. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Underlying the Liquidation Analysis are a number of estimates and assumptions that, although developed and considered reasonable by the Debtors&#146;
management, are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. The Liquidation Analysis also is based on assumptions with regard to liquidation
decisions that are subject to change and significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize and unanticipated events and
circumstances may affect the results of a liquidation of the Debtors. Accordingly, the values reflected might not be realized if the Debtors were, in fact, to be liquidated. The chapter 7 liquidation period is assumed to average three to six months
following the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee, allowing for, among other things, the discontinuation and wind-down of operations, the sale of the operations, the sale of assets and the collection of receivables. All holders of Claims that are
entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan are urged to examine carefully all of the assumptions on which the Liquidation Analysis is based in connection with their evaluation of the Plan. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dismissal of the Debtors&#146; Reorganization Cases would have the effect of restoring (or attempting to restore) all parties to the <I>status quo ante</I>. Upon dismissal of the Debtors&#146; Reorganization Cases,
the Debtors would lose the protection of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby requiring, at the very least, an extensive and time consuming process of negotiation with the creditors of the Debtors, and possibly resulting in costly and protracted litigation
in various jurisdictions. Most significantly, dismissal of the Debtors&#146; Reorganization Cases may permit acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes and Hillside Notes in accordance with their respective indentures. Moreover, holders of the
Hillside Notes and the Senior Secured Notes may be permitted to foreclose upon the assets that are subject to their Liens, which is a substantial portion of the Debtors&#146; assets and almost all of their Cash. Dismissal will also permit unpaid
unsecured creditors to obtain and enforce judgments against the Debtors. The Debtors believe that these actions would seriously undermine their ability to obtain financing and could lead ultimately to the liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Debtors believe that dismissal of the Debtors&#146; Reorganization Cases is not a viable alternative to the Plan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT

Debtors&#146; businesses have generally been subject to certain fluctuations in operating results and incomes. These fluctuations result from, among other things, receipt of lump sum, prepaid and ongoing licensing royalties; the expiration of
various patents; products sales by licensees; new licenses with licensees; litigation expenses; debt prepayments and interest expense; the amount and timing of pension contributions and related funding obligations; customer orders and government

undergoes an &#147;ownership change.&#148; When an &#147;ownership change&#148; occurs pursuant to a case commenced under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the general limitation under section 382 of the IRC may not apply if certain requirements
are satisfied under either section 382(l)(5) or section 382(l)(6) of the IRC. The Company will experience an &#147;ownership change&#148; in connection with these Reorganization Cases, but the Company has not yet determined whether it will be
eligible for or rely on the special rule under section 382(l)(5) or the special rule under section 382(l)(6) of the IRC. If the Company relies on section 382(l)(5) of the IRC, a second &#147;ownership change&#148; within two years from the Effective
Date could eliminate completely the Company&#146;s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryovers. Regardless of whether the Company relies on section 382(l)(5) of the IRC, an &#147;ownership change&#148; after the Effective Date could

rely on such patents for any reason. In addition, 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 the Company&#146;s ability
to make, use and sell its products either in the U.S. or in foreign markets. Monitoring unauthorized use of the Company&#146;s technology is difficult, and it cannot be certain that the steps taken will prevent unauthorized use, particularly in
foreign countries where the laws may not protect proprietary rights as fully as the laws of the U.S. If any of the Company&#146;s patents are successfully challenged, invalidated or circumvented or its right or ability to manufacture its products
becomes restricted, its ability to continue to manufacture and market its products could be adversely affected, which would likely have a material adverse effect upon the Company&#146;s business, financial condition and results of operations.

long-term raw materials or components supply contracts. Accordingly, if the Company experiences problems with these manufacturers, the Company could fail to obtain sufficient resources to operate its business successfully. </FONT></P> <P

under the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor is under the court&#146;s jurisdiction in such case and the discharge is granted by the court or is pursuant to a plan approved by the court (the &#147;<B><U>Bankruptcy Exception</U></B>&#148;). Because the
Bankruptcy Exception will apply to the transactions consummated pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors will not be required to recognize any COD income realized as a result of the implementation of the Plan. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A debtor that does not recognize COD income under the Bankruptcy Exception generally must reduce certain tax attributes by the amount of the excluded COD
income. Attributes subject to reduction include NOLs, NOL carryforwards and certain other losses, credits and carryforwards, and the debtor&#146;s tax basis in its assets (including stock of subsidiaries). A debtor&#146;s tax basis in its assets
generally may not be reduced below the amount of liabilities remaining immediately after the discharge of indebtedness. If the debtor is a member of a consolidated group and reduces its basis in the stock of another group member, a
&#147;look-through rule&#148; requires a corresponding reduction in the tax attributes of the lower-tier member. NOLs for the taxable year of the discharge and NOL carryovers to such year generally are the first attributes subject to reduction.
However, a debtor may elect under IRC Section&nbsp;108(b)(5) (the &#147;<B><U>Section 108(b)(5) Election</U></B>&#148;) to reduce its basis in its depreciable property first. If the debtor is a member of a consolidated group, the debtor may treat
stock in another group member as depreciable property for purposes of the Section&nbsp;108(b)(5) Election, provided the lower-tier member consents to a corresponding reduction in its basis in its depreciable property. If a debtor makes a
Section&nbsp;108(b)(5) Election, the limitation on reducing the debtor&#146;s basis in its assets below the amount of its remaining liabilities does not apply. The Debtors have not yet determined whether they will make the Section&nbsp;108(b)(5)

the stock (by vote and value) of the reorganized debtor in the bankruptcy reorganization as a result of being shareholders or creditors of the debtor. Instead, the debtor&#146;s pre-change NOLs are reduced by the amount of any interest deductions
with respect to debt converted into stock in the bankruptcy reorganization that were allowed in the three taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the Ownership Change occurs and in the part of the taxable year prior to and including the
effective date of the bankruptcy reorganization. However, if any pre-change NOLs of the debtor already are subject to an annual usage limitation under IRC Section&nbsp;382 at the time of an Ownership Change subject to IRC Section&nbsp;382(l)(5),

five percent shareholder of the reorganized debtor generally may be treated by the debtor as having always held any debt exchanged for stock for purposes of determining whether such creditor is a qualified creditor unless the creditor&#146;s
participation in formulating the plan of reorganization makes evident to the debtor that the creditor has not owned the debt for the requisite period. The Debtors believe that the Ownership Change expected to result from the consummation of the Plan

exchanged for another debt instrument of the issuer with substantially similar terms, there is authority that supports the position that the term of the newly issued instrument for purposes of determining whether it is a security is measured from
the original issuance date of the instrument exchanged therefor, rather than from the exchange date. Another important factor in determining whether a debt obligation is a security is the extent to which the obligation is subordinated to other

for New Notes and, if applicable, New Common Stock to the extent it receives stock or securities in exchange for the Old Note. Rather, on a subsequent taxable disposition of the stock or securities received in the exchange, any gain realized by the
holder on a disposition of the stock will be ordinary income to extent of the market discount accrued on the Old Note prior to the exchange that is allocable to the stock, and any gain realized by the holder on a disposition of the securities will
be ordinary income to the extent of the allocable amount of market discount accrued on the Old Note prior to the exchange and the amount of market discount accrued on the securities after the exchange. The method of allocating accrued market
discount to stock and securities when both are received in exchange for a market discount obligation in a recapitalization is uncertain. Accordingly, holders that acquired the Old Notes with market discount should consult their tax advisors
regarding this issue. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

Debtors will be required to report annually to the IRS with respect to each holder (other than corporations and other exempt holders) the amount of interest paid and OID, if any, accrued on the New Notes, the amount of dividends paid on the New
Common Stock, and the amount of any tax withheld from payment thereof. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Holders may be subject to backup withholding (currently, at a rate
of 28%) on the consideration received pursuant to the Plan. Backup withholding may also apply to interest, OID and principal payments on the New Notes, dividends paid on the New Common Stock and proceeds received upon sale or other disposition of
the New Notes or New Common Stock. Certain holders (including corporations) generally are not subject to backup withholding. A holder that is not otherwise exempt generally may avoid backup withholding by furnishing to the Reorganized Debtors (or
their paying agent) its taxpayer identification number and certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the taxpayer identification number provided is correct and that the holder has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup
withholding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:8%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their federal income tax

preferable to any of the alternatives described herein because it will provide the greatest recovery to holders of Claims. Other alternatives would involve significant delay, uncertainty and substantial administrative costs and are likely to reduce
if not eliminate any return to unsecured creditors who hold Claims. Moreover, under such alternatives, holders of Interests are highly unlikely to receive any recovery on account of their Interests or otherwise. The Debtors urge the holders of
impaired Claims in Class 2, Class 4, and Class 5 who are entitled to vote on the Plan to vote to accept the Plan and to evidence such acceptance by returning their Ballots to the Voting Agent so that they will be received not later than 4:00 p.m.,
