This press release may contain forward-looking statements (as that term is
defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 1995)
based on current expectations or beliefs, as well as assumptions about future
events. You can sometimes, but not always, identify these statements by the use
of a date in the future or such words as 'will,' 'anticipate,' 'estimate,'
'expect,' 'project,' 'intend,' 'plan,' 'should,' 'may,' 'assume' and other
similar words. By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently
predictive and speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. You should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are not a
guarantee of future performance and are subject to factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to improve
efficiency and adapt to the current economic downturn and other changes in
demand; our ability to avoid a breach of our financial covenants and to achieve
certain financial requirements under our renegotiated borrowing terms; our
ability to meet and achieve the benefits of our cost reduction goals and
otherwise successfully adopt cost structures to respond to changes in business
conditions; risks that our cost cutting initiatives will impair our ability to
develop products, operate our business effectively and remain competitive; the
extent of our pension fund deficit; the effects of competition on our business;
our ability to develop and commercialise new products and services and realise
product synergies; risks relating to the acquisition or sale of businesses and
our subsequent ability to integrate businesses; changes in the business,
financial condition or prospects of one or more of our major customers and our
reliance on a limited number of customers; our reliance on third party
manufacturers and suppliers; risks of not retaining or increasing market share;
our exposure to liabilities for product defects; our reliance on proprietary
technology; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; risks of
doing business internationally; changes in market conditions in the markets in
which we participate or in general economic or political conditions;
fluctuations in exchange rates and heavy exposure to a weakening US dollar; and
other risks described from time to time in Spirent plc's Securities and Exchange
Commission periodic reports and filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
