Such statements or information are identified with words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "potential", "estimate", "propose", "project", "outlook", "foresee" or similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding any potential outcome. Such statements include the Company's expectations with respect to the success of the Company's announced products and those of its customers.

Such forward-looking information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated and which may prove to be incorrect.

Actual results could differ materially due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the failure of its newly announced optical engine, module and light source products to meet performance requirements, the failure to manufacture products on a timely basis or at all, the failure of its optical engines, module or light source products to attract the attention of customers and end-users, the failure of its products or its customer's products to achieve market penetration, operational risks including the ability to attract key personnel, the failure to protect its intellectual property, and the ability to raise additional capital. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors in the Company's securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
