These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP results of operations to the reported non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share excluding stock-based compensation expense, severance adjustment, expenses related to stockholder activities, and expenses related to strategic opportunities provides meaningful supplemental information to investors, as well as management, that is indicative of the Company's ongoing operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and budgeting purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's GAAP results, and may be different than non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

(a) This adjustment reflects the stock-based compensation expense. For the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ending September 30, 2012, $1.9 million stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $683,000 to research and development, $499,000 to sales and marketing and $682,000 to general and administrative. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 ending June 30, 2012, $1.8 million stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $650,000 to research and development, $468,000 to sales and marketing and $672,000 to general and administrative. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ending September 30, 2011, $1.5 million stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows: $463,000 to research and development, $496,000 to sales and marketing and $582,000 to general and administrative. 

(b) This adjustment reflects the severance to the Company's former executives and employees.  For the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ending September 30, 2012, $44,000 was allocated to general and administrative. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 ending June 30, 2012, $85,000 was allocated to general and administrative and $112,000 was allocated to sales and marketing. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ending September 30, 2011, $312,000 was allocated to sales and marketing.

(c) This adjustment reflects the expenses in response to our activities and inquiries of Starboard Value LP allocated to general and administrative.

(d) This adjustment reflects the expenses incurred in connection with the Company's exploration of options related to patent monetization and other opportunities for increasing shareholder value allocated to general and administrative.
