quotations, sales expectations for the third quarter of 2008, expectations
related to the implementation of a cost reduction program and ability to

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, including from former

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; disproportionately high compliance
costs relative to Sunrise Telecom's size; time spent by management reviewing
