Forward-Looking Statements This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events or results, including Sirenza's expectations regarding its financial objectives and outlook. Sirenza cautions readers that such statements are, in fact, predictions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual events or results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially include Sirenza's ability to successfully develop and release new products which meet customer demands and the acceptance and deployment of those products by Sirenza's intended customers; Sirenza's ability to coordinate different development and engineering teams; Sirenza's ability to successfully manage the risks associated with its new aerospace and defense business; Sirenza's ability to successfully manage downward pricing pressure on its products from commercial customers in the communications and equipment end-markets; and possible delays by Sirenza's customers in the implementation of next-generation equipment, decreased demand for products that contain RF components, lower than expected OEM demand for increasing levels of integration, and/or exertion of downward pressure on the pricing of Sirenza's components. Each and all of these factors could be due to overall general economic or telecommunications market conditions, or conditions in the mobile and fixed wireless and wireline infrastructure markets, or otherwise. Additional factors include the possible underutilization of Sirenza's manufacturing facilities, whether as a result of the factors described above or otherwise. Other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements are included in Sirenza's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), specifically, Sirenza's Form 10-Q filed on May 17, 2004. Sirenza expressly disclaims any current intention to update its forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, at any time or for any reason.
