(collectively, &#147;Ampex&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the &#147;Bankruptcy Code&#148;). In July 2007, the Company began to report that it was engaged
in negotiations with its largest unsecured creditor and certain secured creditors to develop a consensual plan that would provide for the orderly restructuring of its indebtedness. These negotiations resulted in a pre-negotiated plan of
reorganization (the &#147;Plan&#148;), as evidenced by a Plan Support Agreement dated as of March 30, 2008, which was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Company&#146;s chapter 11 case. </FONT></P> <P

period because additional time is required to complete the financial statements, footnotes and disclosures in order to incorporate information contained in the Plan and the related Disclosure Statement in connection with its filing for relief under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company currently expects to be able to file its 2007 Form 10-K within fifteen calendar days following the prescribed due date, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. </FONT></P> <P

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Total revenues are expected to increase by $5.6 million, or 15.5%, in 2007 over 2006, due in part to increased licensing revenue resulting from a $1.9 million negotiated settlement received in 2007 covering a
prepayment of royalty obligations through 2011, whereas no such settlements were received in 2006. Revenues of the Company&#146;s recorders segment are expected to increase by $3.9 million, or 15.6%, in 2007 over 2006 as new product sales more than
offset the decline in service revenues associated with older tape-based products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Costs and operating expenses are expected to decline by
$3.2 million, or 8.2%, primarily due to a decline in patent litigation costs of $8.1 million from 2006 to 2007. Such declines were partially offset by higher cost of sales, research and development costs and selling and administrative costs in 2007
over 2006 required to support the licensing segment&#146;s and recorders segment&#146;s businesses. Reorganization costs incurred in connection with restructuring the Company&#146;s indebtedness and preparing for the chapter&nbsp;11 filing totaled
$0.6 million in 2007. </FONT></P>
