prospects, technological developments, new products, expectations for market
segments and growth. "Forward looking" statements are subject to inherent
uncertainties and risks including, among other things: continuing impact from
the terrorist events of September 11, 2001 on the worldwide economy; increasing
competition; technological developments; and the ability to continue to
introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective
basis. Please refer to the paragraph in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
under the heading "Special Notes Regarding Forward Looking Statements" for other
such factors and further information about forward looking statements. In light
of these risks and uncertainties, actual events and results may vary
significantly from those included in, or contemplated or implied by, such

such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these
statements. In addition, this webcast may contain information from third parties
