High accuracy is needed to ensure charge times are not
excessively long. This feature guarantees safe operation of
these devices by limiting the die temperature to 107 degrees C through
the automatic reduction of charge current. Additional features include
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor interface for
monitoring the ambient temperature and the ability to disable the time
limit of the fast charge. Actual results may differ materially due to
a number of factors, such as the risk we may be unable to develop and release
commercial products with performance comparable to the development results
discussed in the release; the risk we will be unable to manufacture the
products with sufficiently low cost to offer them at competitive prices or
with acceptable margins; the rapid development of new technology and competing
products that may impair demand or render our products obsolete; the potential
lack of customer acceptance for the products; and other factors discussed in
Cree 's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2004 and subsequent filings.

BOSTON, Cree, Inc.
By significantly reducing power consumption, television and computer
monitor makers can design larger screens that do not require active cooling,
eliminating the need for fans, heat pipes and heat sinks associated with first
generation LED backlit LCD panels . "Cree's
backlighting approach exploits the full range of solid state lighting benefits
to achieve significant increases in energy efficiency, durability, longer life
and greater product design flexibility , which in turn leads to a more cost-
effective and higher-quality LCD monitor and television screen .

now clear that energy savings can also be significant if the backlighting
system is designed for high energy efficiency," notes Jerry Simmons, who
manages the Solid State Lighting R+D Program at Sandia National Laboratories. However, it is equally important to improve LED brightness and

dramatically reduce energy consumption now and into the future. Cree
