Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: whether Metalink shares will be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB or pink sheets; absence of significant operations following the Lantiq transaction; uncertainty as to our future business model and our ability to identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities; and our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences if we will be classified as a passive foreign investment company. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are set forth from time to time in Metalink's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Metalink's Annual Report in Form F-20.
