This presentation and oral communications made during the course of this presentation contain statements that

constitute forward-looking statements. Many of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of

forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate” and

“potential,” among others. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the

Company’s intent, belief or current expectations. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and

assumptions and on information currently available to management. Such statements are subject to risks and

uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements

due to various factors, including, but not limited to, those relating to the following: (i) the losses the Company has

experienced in the past and may experience in the future; (ii) the unpredictable fluctuation of the Company’s operating

results from quarter to quarter; (iii) the highly cyclical markets in which the Company competes have experienced

severe downturns; (iv) declines in memory component prices and average selling prices that may cause declines in the

Company’s net sales and gross profit; (v) worldwide economic conditions and other factors that may adversely affect

the Company’s operations and cause fluctuations in the demand for the Company’s products; (vi) the Company’s

dependence on growth in the memory market in Brazil, which could cease or contract; (vii) the dependence of the

Company’s sales and profit margins in Brazil on the continuing existence of local content requirements for electronic

products; (viii) the dependence of a significant portion of the Company’s net sales on the continuing existence of, and

demand from, a limited number of key customers; (ix) the amount of corporate income and excise and import taxes the

Company pays that may increase significantly if tax incentives or tax holiday arrangements in Brazil or Malaysia are

discontinued or if the Company’s interpretations and assumptions with respect to such tax incentives or tax holiday

arrangements are incorrect; (x) other factors that may affect the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of

operations; and (xi) other risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our current filings with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake any

obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these

statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except

as otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Certain information included in this presentation was obtained from third parties and has not been independently

verified by the Company.

This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in

addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with

GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest

GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use

other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial

measures as tools for comparison.
