Restructuring Update
Sunrise Telecom's restructuring actions include the following:
-- The company has signed a memorandum of understanding to divest the hi- resolution portion of its optical products group, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter. This is in line with the company's strategy to simplify its operations and divest non-core businesses.
-- The company expects to take additional cost cutting actions during the fourth quarter to further tighten its strategic focus and improve operating efficiencies. Sunrise Telecom is targeting a 25% reduction in operating expenses once the restructuring is fully implemented, which should put the company on path for profitability in 2009. The company expects to incur a one- time charge in the fourth quarter associated with employee severance payments and other miscellaneous charges.
Due to the decline in the company's market capitalization, the company expects to recognize a significant non-cash impairment charge related to certain of its long term assets, including goodwill in the third quarter of 2008.

unanticipated delays in product delivery schedules; lower than anticipated
end-user demand for telecommunications services and a corresponding cutback in
spending by customers; increased competitive pressures, including from former

Sunrise Telecom's dependence on a limited number of major customers; Sunrise
Telecom's dependence on limited source suppliers; deferred or lost sales
resulting from order cancellations or order changes; deferred or lost sales
resulting from Sunrise Telecom's lengthy sales cycle; unanticipated
difficulties associated with international operations; Sunrise Telecom's
ability to manage growth and slowdowns; disproportionately high compliance
costs relative to Sunrise Telecom's size; time spent by management reviewing
