Words such as “anticipates,” “guidance,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “prospects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.” In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are “forward-looking statements.” Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, AuthenTec’s actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any “forward-looking statement” as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: disruptions caused by the announcement and pendency of Apple Inc.’s acquisition of AuthenTec, including, potential losses or disruptions of customers, vendors or other commercial relationships prior to the completion of Apple’s pending acquisition of AuthenTec and potential negative effects on AuthenTec’s ability to retain management, technical, sales and other key personnel as a result of the announcement of the pending acquisition, AuthenTec’s ability to integrate acquired businesses and operate such businesses profitably, demand for, and market acceptance of, new and existing fingerprint sensors, identity management software and embedded security products, AuthenTec’s ability to secure design wins for enterprise and consumer laptops, wireless devices and products aimed at Government markets, customer design wins materializing into production programs, the timely introduction of new products, the rate at which AuthenTec increases its activity and opportunities in the wireless market, and additional opportunities in various markets for applications that might use AuthenTec’s products, AuthenTec’s ability to develop and capitalize on its NFC solutions and changes in product mix, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in its SEC filings, including those described in AuthenTec’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2012. These “forward-looking statements” are made only as of the date hereof, and AuthenTec undertakes no obligation to update or revise the “forward-looking statements,” whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
