NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
The declines in income from continuing operations, in both the three and
six months ended December 31, 2005 were attributable to a number of factors,
including lower net revenues in the second quarter; a decline in coin grading
revenues in both the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2005, which
contributed to declines in the Company's gross margin in both of those
periods; and increases in selling, general and marketing expenses, which were
attributable in large measure to the commencement of the Company's new grading
businesses, including a diamond grading business and a diamond service
business.

Interest Income.m. Those risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the possibility of changes in
general economic conditions or conditions in the collectibles markets, such as
a possible decline in the popularity of some high-value collectibles , which
could result in reductions in the volume of authentication and grading
submissions and , therefore, the fees we are able to generate; a lack of
diversity in our sources of revenues and our dependence on coin authentication
and grading for a significant percentage of our total revenues , which makes us
more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic and market conditions,
including declines in the value of precious metals or recessionary conditions,
that could lead to reduced coin and other collectibles submissions, with a
resultant reduction in our revenues and in our income; the fact that five of
our customers accounted for approximately 27% of our net revenues during
fiscal 2005, which means that our operating results could decline if any of
those customers were to terminate or significantly reduce the business that
they conduct with us; our dependence on certain key executives and
collectibles experts, the loss of the services of any of which could adversely
affect our ability to obtain authentication and grading submissions and,
therefore, could harm our operating results; increased competition from other
collectibles services companies that could result in reductions in
collectibles submissions to us or could require us to reduce the prices we
charge for our services; the risk that we will incur unanticipated liabilities
under our authentication and grading warranties that would increase our
operating expenses; the risk that new service offerings and business
initiatives that we may undertake will not gain market acceptance or will
increase our operating expenses or reduce our overall profitability or even
cause us to incur losses; the risk that our strategy to expand into new
collectibles and other high value asset markets, such as the diamond market,
primarily through business acquisitions, will not be successful in enabling us
to improve our profitability; and the risks that we will be unable to
successfully integrate the businesses that we acquire into our operations, or
that those businesses will not gain market acceptance, or that our business
expansion may result in a costly diversion of management time and resources
and increase our operating expenses and possibly cause us to incur losses.

The increase
in Other Collectibles revenues was primarily attributable to increases of
$320,000 of revenues from new businesses and increased revenues from our
autograph grading business. During the three and six month periods ended December 31,
2005, our gross profit margin dropped to 58% and 60%, respectively, from 62%
and 64%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Also contributing to the declines in gross margin and the increases
in selling, general and administrative expenses was stock based compensation
of $133,000 and $265,000 in the three and six month periods ended December 31,
2005, respectively, recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. The
decline in gross profit margin in this year's second quarter was primarily due
to (i) net, increased compensation associated with currently employed experts
and the recognition of share-based compensation expense of the quarter and six
months equal to $180,000 (or 2% of revenues) and $394,000 (or 2% of revenues),
respectively , (ii) a decrease in compensation of $194,000 for both the three
month and six month periods ended December 31, 2005, due to the departure of a
coin expert (iii) the decline in net revenue, which meant that fixed portion
of our direct costs had to be spread over a lower revenue base, and (iv ) a
change in the mix of revenues to a lower proportion of coin grading revenues
on which we realize higher margins than on the other revenues that we
generate. The Company also compiles and publishes authoritative information

31, 2005 was computed on the basis of a weighted average of 8.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $2. That decline was primarily due to a $942 ,000, or

increase in revenue from Other Collectibles of $419,000, or 82%. While we undertake
this expansion, we also expect that marketing and G+A costs will rise in a

The decrease in coin grading revenues was the
result of (i) a 15% decline in coins graded that was primarily attributable to
a decline in modern coin submissions from one of our larger customers that
accounted for approximately 5% of our net revenues in this year's second
quarter, down from approximately 11% in the same quarter last year, due to a
serious illness sustained by its owner (ii) a decrease in the average of the
selling prices of our modern coin grading services and (iii ) a return to the
seasonal level of activity in the coin market consistent with historical
trends .4 million as of June
30, 2005.

Acquisitions Consummated in this Year's Second Quarter
As previously reported, on November 8, 2005, the Company acquired Gem
Certification + Appraisal Lab ("GCAL"), a forensic gemological certification
and grading laboratory, and two smaller related businesses, for an aggregate
purchase price of $3 million plus the assumption of certain
transaction -related costs of $50,000. When examined
over a multi-year period, the revenues from our second fiscal quarter have
been increasing at a satisfactory annual rate. Since the rise in gold prices normally provides a lift
in our coin business on about a 3 to 6 month lag, we anticipate that coin
related services will continue to recover over the remainder of the fiscal
year.
