As a result of the termination of the Targus Agreement, the Company's fourth quarter results were negatively impacted.

Full Fiscal 2011 Results

Revenue for fiscal 2011 totaled $28.9 million, compared with $26.4 million in fiscal 2010.  The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.4 million, or $0.73 per share, for fiscal 2011 compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $8.2 million, or $1.12 per share, for fiscal 2010.

"We are disappointed with the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and full year revenue and financial results," said Fredrik Torstensson, who is currently serving as the Company's Interim President and CEO.  "We have had several recent executive management changes and are making further critical operational decisions to immediately contain our cash burn rate and position the Company for sustainability and growth. However, we continue to have strong customer relationships with Lenovo and Dell and are working to increase sales with these customers through new products and geographic market expansion.  At the same time, we are identifying and pursuing additional retail channels, which we believe will be critical to our future revenue growth.  Ultimately, we believe that these actions will help drive us back to profitability."
