Forward Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe
harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains
forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's current views with
respect to future events and financial performance, within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of those
Sections. The Company's future operating results are subject to various
risks and uncertainties and could differ materially from those discussed in
the forward-looking statements and may be affected by various trends and
factors which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and
uncertainties include, among other factors, general business and economic
conditions, rapid technological changes accompanied by frequent new product
introductions, competitive pressures, dependence on key customers,
inability to gauge order flows from customers, fluctuations in quarterly
and annual results, the reliance on a limited number of third party
suppliers, limitations of the Company's manufacturing capacity and
arrangements, the protection of the Company's proprietary technology, the
dependence on key personnel, changes in critical accounting estimates,
potential impairments related to goodwill and investments, foreign
regulations and potential material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting. In addition, during weak or uncertain economic
periods, customers' visibility deteriorates causing delays in the placement
of their orders. These factors often result in a substantial portion of the
Company's revenue being derived from orders placed within a quarter and
shipped in the final month of the same quarter. Forward-looking statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Notes thereto, Risk Factors, and Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the
