Forward-Looking Statements

statements." These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as
such because the context of the statement will include words, such as UTEK
"expects," "should," "believes," "anticipates" or words of similar import.
Similarly, statements that describe UTEK's future plans, objectives or goals are
also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including the financial performance of UTEK and
the valuation of UTEK's investment portfolio, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Although UTEK believes
the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, it cannot give any assurance that its expectations will
be attained. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to
consider these factors carefully in evaluating any forward-looking statements.
Certain factors could cause results and conditions to differ materially from
those projected in these forward-looking statements, and some of these factors
are discussed below. These factors are not exhaustive. New factors, risks and

statements made herein. These forward-looking statements are only made as of the
date of this press release and UTEK does not undertake any obligation to
publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances.
UTEK's operating results could fluctuate significantly due to a number of
factors. These factors include, levels of consulting activity, variability in
the growth rate of our business, consultant utilization rates, consultant and
project billing rates, and number of revenue-generating professionals; our
ability to expand our service offerings; that we successfully integrate the
businesses we acquire; challenging financial conditions, including those in the
credit markets, the small number of transactions and engagements that are
completed each quarter, the value of individual contracts and transactions, the
timing of the recognition and the magnitude of unrealized and realized gains and
losses of companies in its portfolio, UTEK's dependence on the performance of
its operating divisions as well as the companies in its portfolio, the
possibility that advances in technology could render the technologies it has
transferred obsolete, the loss of technology licenses by companies in its
portfolio, the degree to which it encounters competition in its markets, the
volatility of the stock market and the volatility of the valuations of the
companies it has invested in as it relates to its realized and unrealized gains
and losses, the concentration of investments in a small number of companies,
marketplace demand for innovation consulting services as well as other general
economic conditions. As a result of these and other factors, current results may
not be indicative of UTEK's future performance. For more information on UTEK and
