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

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

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
