While waiting several weeks for digEcor's definitive instructions regarding the 1250 unit order, Maycom has recently advised the Company that it is going ahead with its preparations to begin manufacturing the delayed order. Maycom has consented to onsite inspections by employees of e.Digital during the manufacturing process and has agreed to daily penalties for any further late delivery beyond their promised mid-October delivery date. However, delivery of this order is not assured nor can there be assurance that digEcor will accept delivery pursuant to the terms of the order.

In addition to direct eVU product sales, e.Digital believes that as its turnkey entertainment services solution is adopted, the Company will capture more margin on each unit sale and collect monthly revenues from content and other services, and could become profitable with annual deliveries totaling approximately 4,000 eVU units.
