Cautions regarding Forward Looking Statements:

All statements included or incorporated by reference in this release and Broadcom's presentations at the conferences reference above, 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 industry and business, 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. 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, current general economic
        volatility, trends in the broadband communications markets in various
        geographic regions, including seasonality in sales of consumer 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 dependence on a few significant customers for a substantial portion
        of our revenue;
    --  the gain or loss of a key customer, design win or order;
    --  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, 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;
    --  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;
    --  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, particularly in light of terrorist activity, armed conflict
        or political unrest;
    --  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 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;

        semiconductor foundries and other problems or delays in the fabrication,
        assembly, testing or delivery of our products; and
