Important factors that may cause such a difference for Broadcom in connection with the BCM7119 and BCM7125 cable STB SoC solutions, but are not limited to:

    --  the rate at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt
        Broadcom's technologies and products in the markets for next generation
        set-top box applications;
    --  delays in the adoption and acceptance of industry standards in those
        markets;
    --  general economic and political conditions and specific conditions in the
        markets we address, including the volatility in the technology sector
        and semiconductor industry, 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 in the United States and other locations;
    --  the timing of customer-industry qualification and certification of our
        products and the risks of non-qualification or non-certification; and
    --  the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders
        and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage
        inventory.
