These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not fully materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our business and results of operations to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that may cause these forward-looking statements to be inaccurate include among others: our ability to close the transaction as contemplated or at all; whether we will be able to move from development stage to deployment and establish commercial relationships with cable system operators; whether we will be able to successfully produce our wireless systems and whether such systems will be adopted and deployed by utilities and other customers; the current limited visibility available in the telecommunications and broadband access equipment markets; the willingness and ability of operators to adopt our new technology and apply it in a manner that meets customer demands; our ability to produce and distribute our broadband wireless and spectrum overlay solutions in the quantities, and with the quality control, desired by the market; and other risks set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
