"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: This press release provides historical information and includes
forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. The forward-looking statements are
based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by our management, are inherently subject to significant business,
economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies which are beyond
our control, and upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions
which are subject to change. Accordingly, the forward-looking statements are
only an estimate, and actual results will vary from the forward-looking
statements, and these variations may be material. Consequently, the inclusion of
the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us
of results that actually will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are
necessarily speculative in nature, and it is usually the case that one or more
of the assumptions in the forward-looking statements do not materialize.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements. We caution that, among others, the factors below, which are
discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2008, as amended, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, could cause our results to differ materially from those stated in
the forward-looking statements. These factors include (i) the highly cyclical
nature of our industry and the adverse impact of downturns in our industry; (ii)
our dependence on a limited number of suppliers for the products we distribute
and most of our distribution agreements are cancelable upon short notice; (iii)
the market for our products is very competitive and our industry is subject to
rapid technological change; (iv) our dependence on individual purchase orders
and absence of long-term supply agreements exposes us to customer cancellations,
reductions or delays; (v) our substantial leverage and debt service obligations;
(vi) volatility in the pricing of components; (vii) disruptions in
transportation of our products by third party carriers; (viii) potential
warranty and/or product liability risks inherent in the products we sell; and
(ix) our dependence on the continued service of key members of our management
and technical personnel.
