These risks include, without limitation, risks related to: the termination, non-renewal of or default under of any current or new wholesale contracts; changes in the global economy; a failure to negotiate new customer contracts; changes in legislation or the interpretation thereof, particularly in the telecommunications industry. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact.

In particular, forward-looking statements included in the press release include, without limitation, statements regarding: the impact of the new voice traffic contracts; timing and completion of the transition of new voice traffic; the sustainability of the new revenue stream; increased leverage with suppliers; additional deals currently being worked on and the impact thereof; and negotiations relating to potential new customers. The forward-looking-statements contained herein are based on certain assumptions including, without limitation, assumptions regarding: global economic conditions; changes in laws and regulations; the impact of Virtutone's new contracts; the market for wholesale telephony services; the maintenance of new and current wholesale contracts; and the ability to add new wholesale clients. Although management believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated in forward-looking statements will occur, or, if they do, what benefits Virtutone will derive therefrom.
