Safe Harbor Statement

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
anticipated operating and other costs, and current sales trends; the need to
raise additional equity capital, and whether that capital is available on
acceptable terms, if at all; the Company's ability to negotiate repayment terms

demand; reliance upon subcontractors; the ability of P-Com's customers to
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
