                           important factors could cause actual

                           the forward-looking statements. Those
                           factors include the rapidly changing nature
                           of technology, evolving industry standards
                           and frequent introductions of new products
                           and enhancements by competitors;
                           fluctuation in the growth of Fibre Channel
                           and IP markets; changes in economic
                           conditions or changes in end-user demand
                           for technology solutions; fluctuations or
                           delays in customer orders; the highly
                           competitive nature of the markets for
                           Emulex's products; Emulex's ability to gain
                           market acceptance for its products; the
                           company's ability to attract and retain
                           skilled personnel; the company's reliance
                           on third-party suppliers. These and other
                           factors which could cause actual results to
                           differ materially from those in the
                           forward-looking statements are also
                           discussed in the company's filings with the
