some important factors that could cause actual results or outcomes for the

bonding certain assets held in India, changes in general economic conditions in
the markets in which we may compete and fluctuations in demand in the
semiconductor and communications industries; our ability to sustain historical
margins; increased competition; increased costs; increases in our cost of
borrowings or unavailability of debt or equity capital on terms considered
reasonable by management if the need for financing arises; litigation; and
adverse state, federal or foreign legislation or regulation or adverse
determinations by regulators. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of
