In order to assist Samsung to execute a world-wide price war on memory products
during May to July 2004 in order to increase their market share, the

notification

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2) Have all other periodic reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is

[ X ] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
It is expected that the Registrant's sales be approximately $33.3 million and
$62.8 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2004 compared to $16.5 million and $32.1 million, respectively, for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2003, and its net income (loss) be ($0.1)
million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2004 compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003. The significant increase in
sales and decrease in net income recorded in the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 compared to those for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2003 were attributable to strong demand of Samsung memory
products but stiff competetion in the market resulted in price discounting which
affected profit margins.
