Cautions regarding Forward Looking Statements:

All statements included or incorporated by reference in this release and the related conference call for analysts and investors, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, management's beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "would," "could," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the prospects for our various businesses, potential growth drivers in the markets in which we operate, and strategic opportunities available to Broadcom in the current economic environment. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

    --  general economic and political conditions and specific conditions in the
        markets we address, including the continuing volatility in the
        technology sector and semiconductor industry, the recent global economic
        recession, trends in the broadband communications markets in various
        geographic regions, including seasonality in sales of consumer
        electronic products into which our products are incorporated, and
        possible disruption in commercial activities related to terrorist
        activity or armed conflict;
    --  the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders
        and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage
        inventory;
    --  our ability to adjust our operations in response to changes in demand
        for our existing products and services or demand for new products
        requested by our customers;
    --  the effectiveness of our expense and product cost control and reduction
        efforts;
    --  our ability to specify, develop or acquire, complete, introduce, market
        and transition to volume production new products and technologies in a
        cost-effective and timely manner;
    --  risks and uncertainties resulting from Broadcom's equity award review,
        including pending and potential new claims and proceedings related to
        such matters, such as shareholder litigation and any action by the SEC,
        U.S. Attorney's Office or other governmental agency that has resulted
        in, and could result in further, civil or criminal sanctions against the
        company and/or certain of our current or former officers, directors or
        employees, or other actions taken or required as a result of the review,
        and the extent to which we are able to receive reimbursement of our
        expenses related to such litigation and actions through our directors'
        and officers' liability insurance carriers. In the event that the
        company's coverage under these policies is reduced or denied or if the
        proposed partial settlement of the federal derivative litigation does
        not receive final court approval, our financial exposure would be
        increased;
    --  the risks inherent in acquisitions of technologies and businesses,
        including the timing and successful completion of technology and product
        development through volume production, integration issues, potential
        contractual, intellectual property or employment issues, the risk that
        anticipated benefits of an acquisition may not be realized, and
        accounting treatment and charges;
    --  changes in current or future laws or the imposition of new laws or
        regulations, including new or changed tax regulations, or changes in the
        interpretation or enforcement of those laws or regulations;
    --  our dependence on a few significant customers for a substantial portion
        of our revenue;
    --  intellectual property disputes and customer indemnification claims and
        other types of litigation risk;
    --  the quality of our products and any potential remediation costs;
    --  our ability to retain, recruit and hire key executives, technical
        personnel and other employees in the positions and numbers, with the
        experience and capabilities, and at the compensation levels needed to
        implement our business and product plans;
    --  the availability and pricing of third party semiconductor foundry,
        assembly and test capacity and raw materials;
    --  fluctuations in the manufacturing yields of our third party
        semiconductor foundries and other problems or delays in the fabrication,
        assembly, testing or delivery of our products
    --  the rate at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt
        Broadcom's technologies and products in our target markets;
    --  competitive pressures and other factors such as the qualification,
        availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the
        resulting effects on sales and pricing of our products;
    --  changes in our product or customer mix;
    --  the risks and uncertainties associated with our international
        operations;
    --  our ability to timely and accurately predict market requirements and
        evolving industry standards and to identify opportunities in new
        markets;
    --  the volume of our product sales and pricing concessions on volume sales;
    --  problems, costs or delays that we may face in shifting our products to
        smaller geometry process technologies and in achieving higher levels of
        design integration;
    --  the risks of producing products with new suppliers and at new
        fabrication and assembly and test facilities;
    --  delays in the adoption and acceptance of industry standards in our
        target markets;
    --  the timing of customer-industry qualification and certification of our
        products and the risks of non-qualification or non-certification; and

    --  the level of orders received that can be shipped in a fiscal quarter.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss the foregoing risks as well as other important risk factors that could contribute to such differences or otherwise affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
