This periodic report on Form 8-K and the press release attached hereto contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the future performance of SR Telecom and SR Telecom’s anticipated acquisition of Netro. Statements of expected synergies, accretion, and timing of closing are based on suppositions and uncertainties as well as on management's best possible evaluation of future events.

A detailed discussion of other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this current report and the press release filed herewith will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus to be filed by SR Telecom and Netro with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
