June 16 2006 - 2:49PM
Business Wire
InfoSonics Corporation (AMEX:IFO), one of the fastest growing
distributors of wireless handsets in the United States and Latin
America, responded to reports that several law firms have
purportedly filed class action lawsuits against the Company and
certain officers related to the restatement of the Company's first
quarter financial statements. While at least seven law firms have
publicly disseminated press releases over the past few days
implying that they have filed lawsuits against InfoSonics
Corporation, the Company's preliminary investigation has revealed
that two lawsuits seeking class action status have been filed (by
three of the firms that issued press releases this week). The
remaining four law firms that implied in their press releases that
they also filed lawsuits had not done so at the time of their
releases and the Company has no knowledge that they have since
filed actual lawsuits. The Company believes its actions raised in
the lawsuits were appropriate and intends to vigorously defend
them. About InfoSonics Corporation InfoSonics is one of the fastest
growing distributors of wireless handsets and accessories in the

the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation

and margins, wireless handset sales, stock-based compensation
expense, gain (loss) in value of derivatives, cost synergies,
operating efficiencies, profitability, market share and rates of

certain risks which, if realized, in whole or in part, could cause
such expectations to fail to be achieved and have a material
adverse effect on InfoSonics' business, financial condition and
results of operations, including, without limitation: (1) intense
competition, regionally and internationally, including competition
from alternative business models, such as manufacturer-to-carrier
sales, which may lead to reduced prices, lower sales or reduced
sales growth, lower gross margins, extended payment terms with
customers, increased capital investment and interest costs, bad
debt risks and product supply shortages; (2) inability to secure
adequate supply of competitive products on a timely basis and on
commercially reasonable terms; (3) foreign exchange rate
fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency, adverse
governmental controls or actions, political or economic
instability, or disruption of a foreign market, and other related
risks of our international operations; (4) the ability to attract
new sources of profitable business from expansion of products or
services or risks associated with entry into new markets, including
geographies, products and services; (5) an interruption or failure
of our information systems or subversion of access or other system
controls may result in a significant loss of business, assets, or
competitive information; (6) significant changes in supplier terms
and relationships; (7) termination of a supply or services
agreement with a major supplier or product supply shortages; (8)
continued consolidation in the wireless handset carrier market; (9)
extended general economic downturn; (10) loss of business from one
or more significant customers; (11) customer and geographical
accounts receivable concentration risk; (12) rapid product
improvement and technological change resulting in inventory
obsolescence; (13) future terrorist or military actions; (14) the
loss of a key executive officer or other key employees; (15)
changes in consumer demand for multimedia wireless handset products
and features; (16) our failure to adequately adapt to industry
changes and to manage potential growth and/or contractions; (17)
future periodic assessments required by current or new accounting
standards such as those relating to long-lived assets, goodwill and
other intangible assets and expensing of stock options and valuing
gain or loss on fair value of derivatives may result in additional
non-cash income or expenses; (18) seasonal buying patterns; (19)
dependency on Latin American sales; and (20) uncertain political
and economic conditions internationally; (21) the impact, if any,
of changes in EITF 00-19 or SFAS 133 guidance as it relates to
warrants and registration rights; and (22) the resolution of any
litigation against the company. Our actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in our forward looking
statements. InfoSonics has instituted in the past and continues to
institute changes to its strategies, operations and processes to
address these risk factors and to mitigate their impact on
InfoSonics' results of operations and financial condition. However,
no assurances can be given that InfoSonics will be successful in
these efforts. For a further discussion of significant factors to
