You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect NECs analysis and expectations only. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include (i) global economic conditions and general economic conditions in NECs markets, (ii) fluctuating demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on, NECs products and services, (iii) NECs ability to continue to win acceptance of NECs products and services in highly competitive markets, (iv) NECs ability to expand into foreign markets, such as China, (v) regulatory change and uncertainty and potential legal liability relating to NECs business and operations, (vi) NECs ability to restructure, or otherwise adjust, its operations to reflect changing market conditions, (vii) movement of currency exchange rates, particularly the rate between the yen and the U.S. dollar, (viii) the impact of unfavorable conditions or developments, including share price declines, in the equity markets which may result in losses from devaluation of listed securities held by NEC, and (iv) impact of any regulatory action or legal proceeding against NEC. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for NEC to predict these events or how they may affect NEC. NEC does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
