This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause Ronco Corporation (the “Registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us”) actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that any projections or other expectations included in any forward-looking statements will come to pass. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable laws, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Board of Directors of Ronco Corporation has initiated an external process to explore strategic and other financial alternatives. On March 7, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the formation of a special committee comprised of two independent Board members. John S. Reiland, an existing Board member, will take on the added responsibility of Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO). Additionally, the company has engaged Chanin Capital Partners, a Duff & Phelps Company, as its financial advisor to assist in this process which could include a sale or merger of the company.
 
As CRO, Mr. Reiland will direct the efforts of the company’s management team and advisors in the formulation of a course of action to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.
 
There can be no assurance that any transaction will occur or, if one is undertaken, of its potential terms or timing. Ronco may not update its progress or disclose developments with respect to potential strategic initiatives unless the Board of Directors has approved a definitive course of action or transaction.
