FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements and
other information which are deemed to be “forward-looking” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
“Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other
information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by
us using information currently available.
The words "plan," “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us,
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
reflect our current views with respect to future events, are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and are not a guarantee
of future performance. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary materially from those described in such forward-looking
statements or information. In light of the significant uncertainties in these
forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and
information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate to
events and state our beliefs and the assumptions made by us only as
to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not intend to
update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act,
we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements,
because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to
many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, any exhibits to this Form 10-K and
other public statements we make. Such factors include, but are not
limited to: the competition we face; our ability to adapt to rapid changes
in the market for voice and messaging services; our ability to retain
customers and attract new customers; the expansion of competition in
the unified communications market; the impact of fluctuations in
economic conditions, particularly on our small and medium business
customers; security breaches and other compromises of information
security; risks related to the acquisition or integration of future
businesses or joint ventures, including the risks related to the acquisition
of Telesphere and Vocalocity; the risk associated with developing and
maintaining effective distribution channels; our ability to establish and
expand strategic alliances; governmental regulation and taxes in our
international operations; our ability to obtain or maintain relevant
intellectual property licenses; intellectual property and other litigation
that have been and may be brought against us; failure to protect our
trademarks and internally developed software; obligations and
restrictions associated with data privacy; our dependence on third party
facilities, equipment, systems and services; system disruptions or flaws
in our technology and systems; uncertainties relating to regulation of
VoIP services; risks associated with operating abroad; liability under
anti-corruption laws; results of regulatory inquiries into our business
practices; fraudulent use of our name or services; our dependence upon
key personnel; our dependence on our customers' existing broadband
connections; differences between our service and traditional phone
services; restrictions in our debt agreements that may limit our operating
flexibility; our ability to obtain additional financing if required; any
reinstatement of holdbacks by our vendors; our history of net losses
and ability to achieve consistent profitability in the future; and other
factors that are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section and other sections
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in our Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
