Highlight of Business Operations:

The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in the principal balance of our Founders Loan from $2.0 million at June 30, 2009 to $0.8 million at June 30, 2010, combined with lower interest rates. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was composed of the following items: Founders Loan interest of $17,951; loan origination and unused line fees associated with the credit line from Silicon Valley Bank totaling $18,426; and interest on our capital lease of $705.

Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million (24%) from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.14 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an improvement of $0.01 (7%) per share from $0.15 for the comparable period of 2009. The increase in net loss was directly attributable to the $1.1 million in Amusement segment charges.

Depreciation. Depreciation increased by $126,202 (97%) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $256,750 from $130,548 for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in depreciation was primarily attributable to acceleration of depreciation of tooling relating to the disposition of the Amusement business. Excluding the Amusement business, depreciation decreased by $26,798 (27%) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $73,705 from $100,503 for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease in depreciation was due primarily to certain assets being fully depreciated.
