Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by such terms as ''believes,'' ''expects,'' ''anticipates,'' ''intends,'' ''estimates,'' the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. There is significant uncertainty related to the concerns raised by the DTT resignation letter and the potential impact of the internal investigation and the findings of that investigation on the Company and its businesses (including the potential costs associated with this investigation). Other factors that could cause actual results to differ include the ability to retain an audit firm to replace DTT; effectiveness, profitability, and marketability of the company's solutions; the Company's limited operating history; its reliance on a limited number of customers that continue to account for a high percentage of the Company's revenues; risk of payment failure by any of its large customers, which could significantly harm the Company's cash flows and profitability; future shortage or availability of the supply of employees; general economic and business conditions; the volatility of the company's operating results and financial condition; the Company's ability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel and research and development staff; and other risks detailed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the companies and the industry. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward looking statements are reasonable, they cannot assure you that their expectations will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results.
