Our expectation that we will file the BAR in October 2008 constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous factors and assumptions, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that predictions, forecasts and projections will not be achieved.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking statement as a number of important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed herein. The material factors that could cause our actual filing date for the BAR to differ materially from the forward-looking statement made herein include: the complexity of the carve-out of the related assets and liabilities of Ericsson’s Enterprise Communications Business from numerous Ericsson affiliates, including, but not limited to, that the acquired business is global in nature but did not comprise a stand-alone business unit within Ericsson and, as such, did not prepare its own audited financial statements; Ericsson providing reasonable access to the books and records and necessary staff of Ericsson and its affiliates in order for us to prepare the BAR; and Ericsson ensuring that its auditors provide us and our auditors with access to necessary audit papers to complete the BAR.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on the forward-looking statement made herein to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors as well as other uncertainties and potential events as further described in detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2007 Annual Information Form filed on www.sedar.com.
