These statements are subject to important assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and the actual outcome may be materially different. Nortel-s assumptions, although considered reasonable by Nortel at the date of this press release, may prove to be inaccurate and consequently Nortel-s actual results could differ materially from the expectations set out herein.
