The company wishes to caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Those factors include the following: the fact that Emulex's and Giganet's markets are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent introductions of new products and enhancements, and the combined companies' ability to respond to such changes; the fact that the Fibre Channel and IP markets are at early stages of development; the fact that Giganet's VI/IP products remain in the development stage and are subject to significant technical, competitive and market acceptance risks; the fact that the acquisition of Giganet is subject to a number of customary closing conditions which could prevent or delay the closing of the pending acquisition; the highly competitive nature of the markets for Emulex's and Giganet's products; the company's ability to attract and retain skilled personnel; the company's reliance on third-party suppliers for components used in the company's products and on manufacturing subcontractors that assemble and distribute the company's products; the company's reliance on certain OEMs, distributors and key customers; and potential fluctuations in the company's future effective tax rate. These and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are also discussed in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its recent filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
