Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Because ISCO wants to provide investors with meaningful and useful information, this news release contains, and incorporates by reference, certain "forward-looking statements" that reflect ISCO's current expectations regarding the future results of operations, performance and achievements of ISCO. ISCO has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "looks," "expects," "plans," "intends" and similar expressions. These statements reflect ISCO's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to it. Accordingly, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies, which could cause ISCO's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. These factors include, among others, the following: market acceptance of ISCO's technology; the spending patterns of wireless network operators in connection with the build out of 2.5G and 3G wireless systems; ISCO's ability to obtain financing in the future if necessary; ISCO's history of net losses and the lack of assurance that ISCO's earnings will be sufficient to cover fixed charges in the future; uncertainty about ISCO's ability to compete effectively against better capitalized competitors and to withstand downturns in its business or the economy generally; continued downward pressure on the prices charged for ISCO's products due to the competition of rival manufacturers of front-end systems for the wireless telecommunications market; the timing and receipt of customer orders; ISCO's ability to attract and retain key personnel; ISCO's ability to protect its intellectual property; the risks of foreign operations; the risks of legal proceedings; ISCO's ability to complete the proposed merger and successfully integrate the combined entity. A more complete description of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions is included in ISCO's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described under the heading "Risk Factors" ISCO's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by ISCO with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. ISCO undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
