------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW - Dollar Sales
Home & portable audio down 24.3%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTABLE AUDIO
“Low December year-end inventory levels affected several portable
categories but sales seemed to be off as consumers viewed the personal
audio categories as "wants" rather than "needs."
PERSONAL CD PLAYERS
Unit Sales 258,700 down 40.1%
Dollar Sales $14,102,400 down 40.7%
“The large percentage change in the personal CD category cannot be
explained by the difference in reporting weeks. Beginning inventory
also appeared to be in fairly good supply”.
