  the preliminary results, the Company expects to report total revenues for the
  year ended December 31, 2005 of approximately $2.95 billion compared to $2.70
  billion for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company expects to report a
  net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of approximately $462 million
  compared to net income of $73.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
  The preliminary 2005 results include asset impairment charges of
  approximately $218 million, restructuring charges of approximately $30
  million and a valuation allowance tax charge for deferred tax assets of
  approximately $93 million. The preliminary 2005 results reflect known
  adjustments to date, but are subject to change as a result of any adjustments
  arising from the Audit Committee investigation and/or subsequent events prior
  to the filing of the Company&#146;s Form 10-K and the completion of the audit of
  the financial statements by the Company&#146;s independent registered public
  accounting firm.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">UTStarcom, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) is unable to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the &#147;Form
10-K&#148;) by the prescribed due date due to circumstances described below.&#160; The Company seeks relief pursuant to Rule
12b-25(b) with respect to the Form 10-K.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company needs additional time (i) to enable the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to complete an
investigation with regard to the circumstances surrounding the premature
recognition of revenue on a contract with a customer in India and certain other
transactions and (ii) for management to complete the preparation of its 2005
consolidated financial statements and its assessment as of December 31, 2005 of
the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Audit Committee Investigation</font></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously disclosed in the Company&#146;s press release
dated February 9, 2006, at the request of the UTStarcom management team, the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is conducting an
investigation with the assistance of independent counsel and forensic
accountants with regard to the circumstances surrounding the premature
recognition of revenue on a contract with a customer in India and certain other
transactions. The Company recognized approximately $22 million in revenue on
the contract, with total gross margin of less than one million dollars.&#160; This revenue was recognized during several of
the quarters from 2003 through 2005.&#160;
Significant progress has been made in connection with this
investigation, and the Company&#146;s management has begun to formulate and
implement appropriate remedial measures at the request of the Audit
Committee.&#160; At the conclusion of this
investigation, the Audit Committee will assess and evaluate the findings to
determine if previously issued financial statements need to be revised.&#160; The Form 10-K cannot be completed and filed
until the Audit Committee has completed its review of the matters that are the
subject of its investigation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 6.0pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Sarbanes-Oxley
Act Section 404 Assessment </font></u></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Management
is still in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 as required
under the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in part
because of the above-mentioned investigation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As
previously disclosed in the Company&#146;s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
management concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses, the
Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2004. While management has not yet completed its assessment of
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, management
has determined that due to the continued existence of certain of the previously
identified material weaknesses, the Company&#146;s management will conclude in its
&#147;Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting&#148; to be included
in the Form 10-K, that the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting
was not effective as of December 31, 2005. Also, as a result of these material
weaknesses, the Company&#146;s management believes that the report of its independent
registered public accounting firm will contain an adverse opinion with respect
to the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2005. &nbsp;A material weakness is a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
presently identified material weaknesses at December 31, 2005 are with respect
to: (i) controls related to revenue recognition; (ii) controls related to the
existence and valuation of inventory/deferred costs and the related cost of
sales; (iii) controls related to the financial closing and reporting process;
(iv) processes and controls related to the preparation of the Company&#146;s
provision of income taxes; (v) controls related to the segregation of duties
and user access; (vi) the need to ensure the Company employs sufficient finance
personnel with the necessary experience and technical accounting expertise,
including knowledge of US generally accepted accounting principles, relative to
their assigned level of responsibility, and; (vii) the need to ensure adequate
processes and personnel exist to supervise and monitor decentralized
locations.&#160; Further, the Company has
assessed that it did not maintain an effective control environment as of
December 31, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Additionally,
since management is continuing to assess the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, additional
material weaknesses, including material weaknesses identified as part of the
investigation noted above, may be identified.</font></p>

The Company&#146;s management expects to complete its assessment of the
Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and
expects the Audit Committee to complete its investigation in time for the
Company to file the Form 10-K on or about April 30, 2006.</font></p>
