THE NEW ANTEC

         Forward looking statements: The statements in this presentation that
use such words as "believe", "expect", "intend", "anticipate", "contemplate",
"estimate", or "plan" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Our
business is dependent upon general economic conditions as well as competitive,
technological, and regulatory developments and trends specific to our industry
and customers. These conditions and events could be substantially different than
we believe or expect and these differences may cause our actual results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements we have made or the
results, which could be expected to accompany such statements. Specific factors
which could cause such material differences include the following: Design or
manufacturing defects in our products which could curtail sales and subject us
to substantial costs for removal, replacement and reinstallation of such
products; manufacturing or product development problems that we do not
anticipate because of our relative experience with these activities; an
inability to absorb or adjust our costs in response to lower sales volumes than
we anticipate; unanticipated costs or inefficiencies from the ongoing
consolidation of certain of our activities; loss of key management, sales or
technical employees; decisions by our larger customers to cancel contracts or
orders as they are entitled to do or not to enter into new contracts or orders
with us because of dissatisfaction, technological or competitive changes,
changes in control or other reasons; and inability as a result of our relative
experience to deliver construction services within anticipated costs and time
frames which could cause loss of business, operating losses and damage claims.
The above listing of factors is representative of the factors which could affect
our forward-looking statements and is not intended as an all encompassing list
of such factors. In providing forward-looking statements we are not undertaking
any obligation to update publicly or otherwise these statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
