About Viagra
Viagra(R) (sildenafil citrate) is a prescription medication indicated for
the treatment of ED. Factors that may cause the
Company's results to differ include, but are not limited to: changes in the
scope or timing of the Company's projects; slowdowns in telecommunications
infrastructure spending in the United States and globally, which could delay
network deployment and reduce demand for the Company's services; the timing,
rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer contracts and agreements,
or consolidation by or the loss of key customers; failure to successfully
consummate acquisitions or integrate acquired operations; the rate of
adoption of telecom outsourcing by network carriers and equipment suppliers;
the rate of growth of adoption of WLAN and wireless security systems by
enterprises; and competition in the marketplace which could reduce revenues
and profit margins. These and other risk factors are more fully
discussed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 2005 and in other filings made with the Securities
