- Operating "Cash" Excess (To "Marketable Securities") 0

+ Operating "Cash" Deficit (From "Loans") 0

= Final "Cash" Balance (End of Month 2) 1,284,462

Notes:

(1) "Marketable Securities" and "Loans" refer to the values on last

month's balance sheet.

(2) Investment changes can be positive, negative, or zero. A positive

(negative) {zero}. Investment change corresponds to an increase (a

decrease) {no change} in the dollar value of the investment from last

month to this month which leads to a decrease (an increase)

(no change) in current-month "Cash" balance.

(3) At most, one of Operating "Cash" Excess and Operating "Cash" Deficit will

be non-zero; it is possible for both to be zero. Recall that "Cash" must

be between 5.0% and 10.0% of current-month sales revenues. Excess

"Cash" (above 10.0% of revenues) is invested in "Marketable Securities";

shortfalls in "Cash" (below 5.0% of revenues) result in "Loans."

SUMMARY: For 12 forecasts, average forecasting accuracy is 91.7%

Note: Forecasts count within the calculation of forecasting accuracy only

if the "actual" value being forecast is greater than 100 for sales volumes

(to not penalize you for "small" forecasts). Otherwise, the relevant values

of "forecast" and "actual" are only reported for reference purposes, but such

forecasts are not counted for forecasting accuracy scoring. This is the

reason why the number of forecasts referenced in "SUMMARY" may be less than

the detailed line-by-line reporting of forecasts.

PLANT-DC SURFACE TRANSPORTATION DELIVERY RELIABILITY

------

Plant-DC surface transportation delivery reliability may vary through time.

Best estimates of current plant-DC surface transportation performance for all

carriers are shown in the "Set-Top Box Industry Bulletin."

------

PLANT-DC TRANSPORTATION/SHIPPING COSTS

------

Plant-DC shipping costs (including direct shipments from the plant to final

customers in region 1 and in other regions without a "local" DC) change

through time in response to general economic conditions and demand-supply

conditions in transportation/shipping markets. See the "Set-Top Box Industry

Bulletin" for the current shipping costs in the set-top box industry.

------

SUB-ASSEMBLY COMPONENT COSTS

------

Sub-assembly component suppliers tend to change their prices (i.e., your

costs) through time in response to market demand. These changes are

typically increases or decreases of $1/month, although larger changes

occasionally occur. See the "Set-Top Box Industry Bulletin" for the

current spot-market prices (i.e., your costs) for all sub-assembly components

suppliers. A quoted price of "n/a" denotes temporary inability of a sub-

assembly component supplier to service new customers, so that no spot-market

orders will be accepted from non-current customers. However, orders continue

to be accepted from current customers. Sub-assembly component supplier

availability varies through time, so a currently-unavailable sub-assembly

component supplier may become available again in the future.
