Except for the historical information contained herein, this document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted and reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, Inktomi's limited operating history, history of losses, substantial dependence on Network Products, need to attract and retain portal customers and merchants, uncertainty of market acceptance, risks associated with acquisitions and entry into new markets, and substantial competition. In particular, in connection with the acquisition of FastForward Networks, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: costs related to the merger; failure of the combined company to retain and hire key executives, technical personnel and other employees; failure of the combined company to successfully manage its changing relationships with customers, suppliers, resellers, and strategic partners; failure of the combined company's customers to accept new product offerings; and failure to achieve anticipated synergies in the merger. For factors that could affect the business and financial results of Inktomi generally, see "Factors Affecting Operating Results" contained in our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2000. Inktomi cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Inktomi expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revision to any such statements to reflect any change in Inktomi's expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
