Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including sales expectations and estimates for the fourth quarter of 2005, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Specific factors that may cause results to differ include the following: the findings of the Audit Committee’s special investigation; deferred sales resulting from the application of revenue recognition requirements; and unexpected adjustments to preliminary accounting figures; a lack of acceptance or slower than anticipated acceptance for Sunrise Telecom's new or enhanced products and modules; slower than anticipated product development or introduction into the marketplace; unanticipated delays in product delivery schedules; lower than anticipated end-user demand for telecommunications services and a corresponding cutback in spending by customers; increased competitive pressures; rapid technological change within the telecommunications industry; Sunrise Telecom's dependence on a limited number of major customers; Sunrise Telecom's dependence on limited source suppliers; deferred or lost sales resulting from order cancellations or order changes; deferred or lost sales resulting from Sunrise Telecom's lengthy sales cycle; unanticipated difficulties associated with international operations; Sunrise Telecom's ability to manage growth and slowdowns; the uncertain impact of the cost cutting measures Sunrise Telecom has taken to date and those that Sunrise Telecom may take in the future; and the loss of key personnel. These risks and uncertainties are described in more detail in Sunrise Telecom's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
