This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the company's litigation with Intellisync and potential liability as a result thereof, including statements concerning the impact the PTO's rejection of Intellisync's patents will have on the outcome of the litigation, the company's belief that the number of patents asserted in the litigation have been effectively reduced to four, the potential narrowing of Intellisync's IP portfolio, and Extended Systems' belief in a favorable outcome for the company at trial. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include the risks and uncertainties associated with patent litigation, the possibility that the company's counterclaims and affirmative defenses may not be successful, the possibility that Intellisync may be successful in an appeal of the PTO's rejection of its patents in the reexamination process, and other risks as detailed from time-to-time in the company's SEC filings, including its 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed September 29, 2003 and 2004 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2003 and February 17, 2004.
