FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause such statements to differ materially from actual future events or results. Such forward-looking statements are generally, but not necessarily, accompanied by words such as “plan,” “if,” “estimate,” “expect,” “believe,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “may,” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Specific examples of forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the status of the internal investigation and the preliminary conclusions of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the length of time it may take for the Audit Committee to complete its investigation or finalize its factual findings, analysis and conclusions, and the timing of the filing of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 and any required restated financial statements. These forward-looking statements and other statements made elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made in reliance, in part, on the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results include additional findings by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors as a product of its investigation into the Company’s stock option grant practices, future rule-making, pronouncements or guidance by the SEC, PCAOB, Nasdaq or other regulatory agencies, the Company’s ability to introduce new products, achieve design wins, maintain customer and strategic partner relationships, forecast customer demand and manage inventory levels, control and budget expenses, protect proprietary technology and intellectual property, and successfully prosecute and defend any future litigation. Any one of these factors may cause the Company’s actual financial results to differ materially from its projected results. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason. Readers are referred to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings which discuss the foregoing factors as well as other important risk factors that could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As previously disclosed, the Company has determined that you should not rely on any of the financial statements or related footnote disclosures in the Company’s SEC reports or other financial information from 2001 through the first half of 2006 until the Company has filed all required restated financial statements and all delinquent Quarterly Reports on Form


10-Q. There can be no assurance concerning the results of the ongoing internal investigation, the timing of the filing of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, or the amount of time necessary to complete the required restatements of certain of the Company’s historical financial statements.
