Entorian Technologies Inc. (OTC MARKETS: ENTN), a leader in rugged,
mission-critical mobile computing solutions for use in harsh, demanding
environments, today announced that its exclusivity arrangements with
Dell will lapse effective February 8, 2012. Entorian believes that it is
in its best interests to allow the exclusivity to lapse in order to
distribute its products more broadly.
"We look forward to continuing our relationship with Dell and leveraging
our extensive rugged engineering expertise to expand our market
presence. Working with Entorian, OEMs can expand into new markets
without developing entirely new product lines, resulting in significant
R&D savings and shortened time to market,” stated Stephan Godevais,
Entorian’s president and CEO.
Cautionary Language
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements
are generally accompanied by words such as "expect," "believe," and
similar expressions. We do not have sufficient backlog to rely upon when
forecasting results, so our future performance is very difficult to
predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to many risks,
uncertainties and unknown future events that could cause actual results
to differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that may
cause future results to differ include, but are not limited to, a change
in the efforts by our OEM customer to sell our rugged computing
products; the timing and volume of sales of our products by our OEM
customer; a shortage of critical parts, which could negatively impact
our ability to fulfill orders; fluctuating demand for, and life cycles
of, our products; risks related to product liability and warranty claims
in the event our products do not function according to specification or
include defective parts; inconsistency in forecasts provided to us by
our largest customer, resulting in increased inventory exposure as we
build to our customer's current forecast; inventory risks from loss
recognized on inventory which is no longer used due to the transition to
the next generation of our products; operational risks from our reliance
on suppliers, subcontractors and third-party manufacturers for the
assembly and production of ruggedized products; the risk that
broker-dealers may not make a market in our securities; a failure by us
to develop new products that are successfully qualified and utilized by
customers; our ability to manufacture and ship products within a
particular reporting period; the risk that foreign or domestic
manufacturers develop products that compete successfully with our own on
cost or other functionality; our ability to enforce our intellectual
property rights or to defend claims that we infringe the intellectual
property rights of others, and the significant costs to us of related
litigation; the risk that our average selling prices decline during the
period more than we expect because of competitive pressures, substituted
products or overall reduced demand for our products; risks associated
with budget constraints of federal, state and local governments that
could negatively impact sales of our ruggedized products; risks
associated with the failure of our ruggedized products to meet military
specifications MIL-STD-810; and the risks associated with our dependence
on a few key personnel to manage our business effectively.
For a discussion of these and other factors that could impact our
financial results and cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements, please refer to our recent
filings with the OTC Markets Group Inc. The foregoing information
concerning our business outlook represents our outlook as of the date of
this news release, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments
or otherwise.
