This Report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements, including projections about Commtouch’s business, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other US securities laws. In addition, statements in the future tense, and statements including words such as “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, anticipate”, or “believe” are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information available to Commtouch at the time of the Report; Commtouch assumes no obligation to update any of them. The statements in this Report are not guarantees of future performance and actual results could differ materially from Commtouch’s current expectations as a result of numerous factors, including business conditions and growth or deterioration in the Internet market, commerce and the general economy, both domestic as well as international; fewer than expected new-partner relationships; competitive factors including pricing pressures; technological developments, and products offered by competitors; the availability of resources from suppliers and other third parties; the ability of our OEM partners to successfully penetrate markets with products integrated with Commtouch technology; a slower than expected acceptance rate for newer product offerings; availability of qualified staff; and technological difficulties and resource constraints encountered in developing new products, as well as those risks described in the company’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, which are available through www.sec.gov. Except as required by law, Commtouch undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
