orders and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to
manage inventory;
-- the gain or loss of a key customer, design win or order;
-- the rate at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt
Broadcom's technologies and products in our target markets;

our current or former officers, directors or employees, or other
actions taken or required as a result of the review;
-- intellectual property disputes and customer indemnification claims and
other types of litigation risk;

target markets;

sales;
-- competitive pressures and other factors such as the qualification,
availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and
the resulting effects on sales and pricing of our products;
