     Forward-Looking Statements:

     Statements that are not historical fact may be considered forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but
rather reflect CopyTele's current expectations concerning future events and
results. CopyTele generally uses the words "believes", "expects", "intends",
"plans", "anticipates", "likely", "will" and similar expressions to identify
forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements, including those
concerning CopyTele's expectations, involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond CopyTele's control,
which may cause CopyTele's actual results, performance or achievements, or
industry results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. In evaluating such statements as well as the future prospects of
CopyTele, specific consideration should be given to various factors, including
the following: CopyTele's prior history of losses and negative cash flows from
operations; CopyTele's ability to obtain debt or equity financing to continue
our marketing, research and development activities, on terms acceptable to
CopyTele, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our
liquidity requirements; CopyTele's ability to develop a full-color video
display; the possible development of competitive products that could render
CopyTele's products obsolete or unmarketable; and other risks as detailed from
time-to-time in CopyTele's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CopyTele undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a
result of new information, unanticipated events, or otherwise.
