<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">&nbsp;</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(a)&#160;&#160; On March 10, 2005, the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors (the &#147;Committee&#148;) of UTStarcom, Inc. (&#147;UTStarcom&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;)
concluded, in consultation with and upon the recommendation of UTStarcom&#146;s
management, that UTStarcom&#146;s previously issued financial statements contained in
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for each of the fiscal quarters of the year
ended December 31, 2003 (the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2003) should be restated to correct certain errors contained
therein.&#160; Accordingly, such financial
statements should no longer be relied upon until such financial statements have
been restated.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Specifically,
during the course of the 2004 year-end closing process, errors were identified
related to the Company&#146;s income tax provision for 2003.&#160; In addition, in the course of the preparation
of its year-end 2004 financial statements, an entity which is considered a
related party was identified.&#160; The
Company has now determined that it will likely be required to consolidate the
financial results of this entity into its fiscal 2003 and 2004 financial
results.&#160; Final tax provision results for
the full year and each quarter of fiscal 2003 will depend on the ultimate
outcome of the consolidation of the related party entity.&#160; The Committee and management have discussed
these matters with UTStarcom&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm.</font></p>
