CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE




| |                                         
| | ----------------------------------------
| | We have a history of significant losses.





| |                                                                                                                                                                                                 
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | The decline of average selling prices in the hard disk
    drive industry could cause our operating results to suffer and
    make it difficult for us to achieve or maintain
    profitability.





| |                                                                                                                                                                                          
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Intense competition in the hard disk drive market could
    reduce the demand for our products or the prices of our
    products, which could adversely affect our operating
    results.





| |   |

| |  | consolidate or establish strategic relationships to lower their
    product costs or to otherwise compete more effectively against

|
| |  | sell their products with other products to increase demand for
    their products;

    drive sales, a decrease in the demand for desktop computers
    could reduce demand for our products.

    from a limited number of third party suppliers, we are subject
    to the risk that we may be unable to acquire quality components
    in a timely manner, or effectively integrate parts from
    different suppliers, and these component shortages or
    integration problems could result in delays of product shipments
    and damage our business and operating results.
