This release contains forward-looking statements, which address a variety of subjects including, for example, the expectation of business growth at the Orem, Utah Solution Center. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: ModusLink's success depends on its ability to execute on its business strategy and the continued and increased demand for and market acceptance of its solutions and services, including the e-Business Suite of Solutions; the Company may not be able to expand its operations and capabilities in accordance with its business strategy; the Company may experience difficulties integrating technologies, operations and personnel in accordance with its business strategy; the Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from a small number of customers and the loss of any of those customers would significantly damage its financial condition and results of operations; the Company frequently sells to its supply chain management clients on a purchase order basis rather than pursuant to contracts with minimum purchase requirements, and therefore its revenue is subject to demand variability; increased competition and technological changes in the markets in which the Company competes; and risks associated with international operations. The occurrence of any of the foregoing factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial results. For a detailed discussion of cautionary statements that may affect the Company's future results of operations and financial results, please refer to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
