To: Our Dealers, Distributors and Customers
From: Bob Brownell, President and CEO
Subject: Media Vision's plan for financial recovery
Because of recent negative publicity, many of you are concerned about Media
Vision's financial health. The SEC's rules restrict me from making public
most of the specifics until after we have announced our financial results
for Q1, but I would like to share with you some general information about
what is going on now at the company and steps we are taking to resolve the
current financial problems.
The board of directors and I have brought in two consulting firms to work on
financial issues. Jud Goldsmith from Durkee/Sharlit Associates, a consulting
firm that specializes in financial restructuring, will serve as chief
financial officer. Price Waterhouse will assist Jud in our near-term
relationships with banks and creditors.
At this point, we can report two primary accomplishments. First, we have
negotiated an agreement with our major banks -- Comerica and Bank of Boston.
Second, we have a preliminary agreement with a committee representing our
major creditors.
For current needs, we are operating on a cash basis with our vendors. We are
taking all the necessary steps to stabilize the company. A top priority is
to put in place the proper financial controls.
Media Vision's strengths will also play an important role in this recovery.
Foremost among these is the "Media Vision" name which is recognized and
accepted throughout the marketplace. Sell-through is strong for our products
in the channel. April was the strongest opening month for any quarter in
Media Vision's history. A significant asset is our on-hand inventory;
fill-in needs are being shipped by our suppliers. Our first-class technical
and customer support capabilities continue to provide a competitive advantage.
We have excellent underlying technologies, and development is going forward on
a number of products we expect to deliver in late 1994 or early 1995.
Many of you have asked about bankruptcy. At this point, it is clearly not in
anyone's best interest to put this company into Chapter 11. I want to assure
you that the new management team is committed to keeping Media Vision moving
forward.
These facts add up to grounds for optimism. With your continued support for
Media vision and our products, we expect a bright future.
