(1)  During fiscal 2004, the Company sold its consolidated subsidiaries, the Vésper Operating Companies and TowerCo, and returned personal mobile service (SMP) licenses to Anatel, the telecommunications regulatory agency in Brazil. The results of operations including gains and losses realized on the sales transactions and the SMP licenses, are presented as discontinued operations. As such, Revenue, Gross Margin and Free Cash Flow results presented do not include the results from these discontinued operations.
(2)  The Company effected a two-for-one stock split in August 2004. All references to share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split.
(3)  See “Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
(4)  Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, both of which are presented in the GAAP statement of cash flows.
(5)  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company adopted a new method of recording royalties, based solely on reports received from licensees for royalty bearing sales of equipment in the prior quarter. Under the prior method of recording royalties, the Company recorded an estimate of earned royalties for certain licensees in the quarter preceding its receipt of licensee reports. This change was made on a prospective basis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and as a result, GAAP results for fiscal 2004 reflect only partial economic performance of the Company’s licensing business as royalty revenue that would have been recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
