Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed herewith contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as  “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions, estimates, expectations, forecasts, goals, projections, risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, any conditions imposed in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, the satisfaction of various other conditions to the closing of the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company related to the Merger Agreement, risks related to economic conditions as relate to the Company’s customer base, the collection of receivables from the Company’s customers who may be affected by economic conditions, the highly competitive market in which the Company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by the Company, declining prices of products, the Company’s reliance on distributors, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in consumer acceptance of the Company’s products, changes in the Company’s level of sales or profitability, manufacturing and sourcing risks, availability of materials, cost of components for the Company’s products, product defects and returns, and other factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in all filings made by the Company with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained herein. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Merger, will be more fully disclosed in the proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Merger.  Additional risks and uncertainties are identified and discussed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
