This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that (a) are not historical facts, (b) predict or forecast future events or results, or (c) embody assumptions that may prove to have been inaccurate. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. When we use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give readers any assurance that such expectations will prove correct. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, reduced demand arising from a decline or volatility in general market and economic conditions; reduced margins from low factory utilization and inventory reduction efforts; continued volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the effects of longer lead times for certain products on meeting demand; unexpected costs or delays in implementing our cost savings programs, including the ability to transfer, consolidate and qualify product lines and unexpected costs in connection with the closure of facilities; the ability of the Company to achieve the expected reductions in headcount and expected savings; the impact of regulatory, investigative and legal actions; increased competition in the highly competitive semiconductor business that could adversely affect the prices of our products; the effects of manufacturing, operational and vendor disruptions and inefficiencies from swine flu and similar influenza; our ability to maintain current IP licenses and obtain new IP licenses; the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we have identified that could impact our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner and the extensive work remaining to remedy these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; and other uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Additionally, to the foregoing factors should be added the financial, market, supply disruption and other ramifications of terrorist actions and natural disasters.
