<div><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">As we informed you earlier this year, the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11<SUP>th</SUP> affected Sony, and some of our other manufacturer partners. This resulted in severe shortages of many pro tape and disc media products. Since then, significant recovery has proceeded in several areas, and we thought we would update you on the latest developments:</SPAN></div>
