Syntax-Brillian Comments on FCC Forfeiture Order

  
    
  
  
    
      Syntax-Brillian Corporation (Nasdaq:BRLC), a leading manufacturer 
      and marketer of LCD HDTVs, digital cameras and consumer electronics 
      products, today issued a statement in response to a forfeiture order 
      issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) 
      concluding that the company violated the digital television rule 
      concerning the importation and interstate shipment of analog televisions.
    
    
      As part of the order, the FCC has fined the company $1.266 million, a 
      reduction from the initial fine of $2.9 million proposed in the agency’s 
      May 2007 original Notice of Apparent Liability.
    
    
      The company is disappointed with, and intends to seek further review of, 
      today’s action.
    
    
      The Commission’s investigation focused on 
      mid-size television models that have been discontinued for some time. 
      The company has replaced these models with its next-generation Olevia 
      LCD HDTVs with integrated digital tuners. Syntax-Brillian emphasizes 
      that its Olevia LCD HDTVs are 100 percent digital and have been so for 
      nearly two years.
    
    
      Syntax-Brillian has complied with the Commission’s 
      investigation and responded in a timely manner to all of its inquiries.
    
    
      Syntax-Brillian fully supports the digital transition and will continue 
      to educate consumers on the evolution to digital TV.
