Forward-looking statements concerning future plans or results are necessarily only estimates, and actual results could differ materially from expectations. Certain factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, among other things, the availability of customer funding for L-1 products and solutions, general economic and political conditions, the timing of consummating the previously-announced proposed transactions with Safran SA and BAE Systems, Inc., the risk that a condition to closing such proposed transactions may not be satisfied, the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for such proposed transactions is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated, the ability of the Company to successfully refinance or amend its credit agreement on a timely basis if required, and additional risks and uncertainties described in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of L-1 Identity Solutions, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and the Form 8-K filed on November 17, 2010.
