These statements are only predictions and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements based upon a number of factors including those uncertainties and risk factors detailed from time to time in reports filed by Storage Computer Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q.

The Company’s revenues and net loss available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are estimated to be lower than the corresponding three month period for 2002 as follows:

 

		Three months ended
		June 30, 2003			June 30, 2002
Revenues		$	147,776		$	586,993
Net loss applicable to common stockholders		$	1,186,466		$	4,339,726

 

The reduction in revenues relates to continued concentration on the realignment and refocus of our core business activity toward the Storage Wide Area Networking (SWAN) market segment for our CyberNAS Network Attached Storage and CyberVSA Storage Operating System. The net loss applicable to common stockholders was reduced because of reductions in headcount in all departments, the elimination of the use of outside contractors, the restructuring of our sales and marketing approach to focus on value added reseller channels, the reduction of legal fees and expenses for the enforcement of our intellectual property rights and reduced amortization of intangible assets.
