The statements in this presentation that refer to plans and expectations for the second quarter, the year and the future are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. A number of factors in addition to those discussed in the presentation could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Demand for Intel's products, which impacts revenue and gross margin, is affected by business and economic conditions, as well as computing and communications industry trends, and changes in customer order patterns. Intel conducts much of its manufacturing, assembly and test, and sales activities outside the United States and is thus subject to a number of other factors, including currency controls and fluctuations, and tariff and import regulations. If terrorist activity, armed conflict, civil or military unrest or political instability occurs in the United States, Israel or other locations (such as the situation in Iraq), such events may disrupt logistics, security and communications, and could also result in reduced demand for Intel's products. Major health concerns, such as the spread of the SARS illness, could also adversely affect our business and our customer order patterns. The gross margin percentage varies with product mix and pricing and changes in unit costs, and could also be affected by the execution of the manufacturing ramp, excess manufacturing capacity, excess or obsolete inventory, and variations in inventory valuation. Revenue and the gross margin percentage are affected by competing chip architectures and manufacturing technologies, competing software-compatible microprocessors, pricing pressures and other competitive factors, as well as market acceptance of Intel's new products and the development and timing of introduction of compelling software applications and operating systems that take advantage of the features of our products. Future revenue is also dependent on continuing technological advancement, including developing and implementing new processes and strategic products, as well as sustaining and growing new businesses and integrating and operating any acquired businesses. Results could also be affected by changes in the effective tax rate, by adverse effects associated with product defects and errata (deviations from published specifications), and by litigation, such as that described in Intel's SEC reports, as well as other risk factors listed in Intel's SEC reports, including the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2003.
