This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Company's design wins, expected orders, production timing of our customers' products, availability of new products and revenue opportunities. These forward-looking statements reflect current expectations. However, actual events and results could vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to customer acceptance of NeoMagic products, the market acceptance of devices developed and marketed by customers that use the Company's products, customers' development plans, the Company's ability to execute product and technology development plans on schedule, and the timely availability of sufficient manufacturing capacity at the Company's foundry to meet future customer demand for products.
