Highlight of Business Operations:

The aggregate market value of the shares of voting common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately $19.6 million at December 31, 2008 (the Company's most recently completed second fiscal quarter), based on the $3.93 closing price for the Company s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on such date. For purposes of this computation, all officers, directors, and 10% beneficial owners of the registrant are deemed to be affiliates. Such determination should not be deemed to be an admission that such officers, directors, or 10% beneficial owners are, in fact, affiliates of the registrant.

On November 3, 2009 ClearOne acquired NetStreams, Inc, a pioneer in digital media networks based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology, that is used in a wide variety of applications, including digital signage, corporate video distribution, network operations centers and government facilities, and large venues in such industries as hospitality, entertainment and casinos. NetStreams' digital streaming media and control systems support virtually any number of digital or analog sources, including high definition audio and video content to nearly an unlimited number of networked endpoints. Under the terms of the merger and acquisition agreement, ClearOne paid approximately $1.45 million in cash and agreed to assume $2 million in debt. Please refer to Note 3 – Business Combination, Goodwill and Intangibles in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8) for more financial information. NetStreams products are sold primarily in the residential electronics channel and audio and video commercial channel. The addition of NetStreams networked media and control distribution products to ClearOne s portfolio of audio conferencing and related products presents a perfect fit for both businesses bringing complementary products and sales channels to both organizations. We believe this combination of high-quality audio conferencing and technology to distribute media and control over IP based networks will enable us to provide a comprehensive high definition audio and video solution to better realize the true promise of audiovisual and IT convergence.
