Statements in this release that are forward looking involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties, which may cause P-Com's actual results in future
periods to be materially different from any future performance that may be
suggested in this release.  Such factors may include, but are not limited to:
the ability to achieve positive cash flow given the Company's existing and

finance their purchases; the timing of new technology  and product
introductions; and the risk of early obsolescence.  Many of these risks and
uncertainties are beyond P-Com's control.  Reference is made to the discussion
