Our unaudited results are estimated to be as follows: Gross sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $21.6 million, a decrease of $12 million or 35.7% from gross sales of $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.   As a result of returns of $12.5 million and sales return allowance of $8.9 million (including $9.1 and $6.2 million, respectively, related to loose diamond sales), net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $0.2 million, a decrease of $31.6 million or 99.3% from net sales of $31.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest expense totaled $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $3.3 million or 90% from



2



$3.6 million for the same period last year. Of the $6.9 million in interest expense, $5.5 million is non-cash expense resulting from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount associated with the extinguishment of the our senior secured notes on October 12, 2007 and the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount related to the term note and revolving note with New Stream Secured Capital, LP secured on October 12, 2007. The balance is interest paid on the senior secured notes, term note, revolving note and related party notes.  We expect to record a net loss of $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our net loss for the same period last year was $8.4 million. Our basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $0.36 and $0.21 respectively. The weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 41,498,153 as compared to 38,954,128 for 2006.


The annual audit of our financial statements is currently in progress and as such the estimated results for the current year could change based on the final audit results.
