It's Oracle's fault, from the press release:
Safe Harbor Provision
This press release contains forward-looking statements as that
term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements in this press release that do not describe
historical facts, such as statements concerning the Company's future
plans or prospects and those contained in the "Business Outlook"
section of the press release, are forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those
projected. The factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially include the following: costs incurred by the Company for the
product recall are greater than or less than currently anticipated;
actual audited fourth quarter 2002 results may differ from those
currently anticipated; impact on order management and fulfillment,
financial reporting and supply chain management processes as a result
of the Company's reliance on a variety of computer systems, including
_Oracle 11i_ which was implemented in the first quarter 2001; the
impact on demand, component availability and pricing, and logistics,
and the disruption of Asian manufacturing operations that result from
labor disputes, war, acts of terrorism or political instability; ramp
up, expansion and rationalization of global manufacturing capacity; the
discovery of a latent defect in any of the Company's products; the
Company's ability to effectively align operating expenses and
production capacity with the current demand environment; general
worldwide economic conditions, and, in particular, the possibility that
the PC and related markets decline more dramatically than currently
anticipated; growth rates in the power protection industry and related
industries, including but not limited to the PC, server, networking,
telecommunications and enterprise hardware industries; competitive
factors and pricing pressures; product mix changes and the potential
negative impact on gross margins from such changes; changes in the
seasonality of demand patterns; inventory risks due to shifts in market
demand; component constraints, shortages and quality; risk of
nonpayment of accounts receivable; the uncertainty of the litigation
process including risk of an unexpected, unfavorable result of current
or future litigation; and the risks described from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are
made. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise
any such statements to reflect any change in Company expectations or in
events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may
be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will
differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements
Talk about a disclaimer. "No, really, it's Oracle's fault!!"
