Our operating results have varied significantly from quarter to quarter in
the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future. The quarterly fluctuations
are caused by a number of factors, including demand for our products and
services, size and timing of specific sales, level of product and price
competition, timing and market acceptance of new product introductions and
product enhancements by us and our competitors, the length of our sales cycle,
personnel changes, budgeting cycles of our customers, the impact of our revenue
recognition policies, changes in technology and changes caused by the rapidly
evolving e-business market and the impact of year 2000 investments by us and our
customers. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Therefore, we believe
that results of operations for interim periods should not be relied upon as any
indication of the results to be expected in any future period.
