quarters, including the ongoing strength in our core BIOS business with strong
margins and cash flow. Simultaneously, we are building a new business around
our PC 3.0(TM) vision for a revolutionary transformation of the PC user
experience. We completed the acquisition of BeInSync, and immediately
following the close of the quarter, TouchStone Software, giving us not only
great new products and IP but exceptional engineering teams with which to
accelerate the realization of that vision. We also announced multiple new
strategic alliances with top tier industry partners for Phoenix FailSafe(TM)
and HyperCore(TM) products and, perhaps most importantly, we executed and
announced the first customer contracts for these exciting new products."
Richard Arnold, COO and CFO of Phoenix Technologies, stated, "Our core
BIOS business continues to perform very well, with strong growth, operating
margins and cash flow, and provides us the stable base on which to build as we
migrate Phoenix to a multi-product, multi-channel business. We continue to
make significant investments in research and development to support our
expectations of high-growth FailSafe and HyperCore businesses and we have been
very happy with our ability to attract a number of exceptional new engineers
to our team. Our overall business continues to benefit from the continued
strong global growth in shipments of portable computers, resulting in a total
order backlog of more than $44 million at the end of the quarter, which
provides us with excellent visibility into future period revenues."

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME (LOSS) AND

Diluted 29,253 29,51426,001 29,14525,719
These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP net loss to the reported
non-GAAP net income (loss). The Company believes that presentation of net
income and net income per share excluding equity-based compensation,
restructuring cost, and amortization of purchased intangible assets provides
meaningful supplemental information to investors, as well as management, that
is indicative of the Company's core operating results and facilitates
comparison of operating results across reporting periods as well as comparison
with other companies. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating
its financial results as well as for internal planning and budgeting purposes.
Equity-based compensation is excluded from non-GAAP results because management
believes it is useful to investors to understand how the expense associated
with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) are reflected in net income (loss).
Restructuring costs are excluded from non-GAAP financial results since they
may not be considered directly related to our on-going business operations.
Amortization of purchased intangible assets, principally purchased technology,
is excluded from non-GAAP financial results since it generally cannot be
changed by management after an acquisition has occurred. 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.
(1) This number represents equity-based compensation expense related to
the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) beginning October 1, 2005. For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, equity-based compensation was $3.6 million,
allocated as follows: $0.2 million to cost of goods sold, $1.0 million to
research and development, $0.4 million to sales and marketing and $2.0 million
to general and administrative.For the three months ended March 31, 2008,
equity-based compensation was $3.7 million, allocated as follows: $0.1
million to cost of goods sold, $1.0 million to research and development, $0.4
million to sales and marketing and $2.2 million to general and administrative.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, equity-based compensation was $1.2
million, allocated as follows: $0.1 million to cost of goods sold, $0.4
million to research and development, $0.2 million to sales and marketing and
$0.5 million to general and administrative. For the nine months ending June
30, 2008, equity-based compensation was $8.3 million, allocated as follows:
$0.4 million to cost of goods sold, $2.1 million to research and development,
$1.0 million to sales and marketing and $4.8 million to general and
administrative. For the nine months ending June 30, 2007, equity-based
compensation was $3.9 million, allocated as follows: $0.2 million to cost of
goods sold, $1.0 million to research and development, $0.7 million to sales
and marketing and $2.0 million to general and administrative. Management
believes that it is useful to investors to understand how the expenses
associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) are reflected in net income.
The quarter ended March 31, 2008 is the first quarter during in which the
Company reported equity-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) in
respect of stock options granted to the Company's four most senior executives
as approved by the Company's stockholders on January 2, 2008 (the "Performance
Options"). Of the $3.7 million of equity-based compensation for the three
moths ended March 31, 2008, $2.0 million was due to equity-based compensation
expense which resulted from the grant of the Performance Options. Of the $3.6
million of equity-based compensation for the three moths ended June 30, 2008,
$1.9 million was due to equity-based compensation expense which resulted from
the grant of the Performance Options.
(2) The Company has incurred restructuring expenses, included in its GAAP
presentation of operating expense, primarily due to workforce related charges
such as payments for severance and benefits and estimated costs of exiting and
terminating facility lease commitments related to formal restructuring plans
approved by the Board of Directors in June 2006, in September 2006, November
2006 and September 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, cost
related to exiting and terminating 2 facility leases totaled approximately
$0.1 million due to a change in estimate of sublease income. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008, cost related to exiting and terminating 2
facility leases totaled approximately $47,000 and severance and benefits
decreased for over accrued employer taxes of approximately $3,000. For the
three months ending June 30, 2007, no restructuring costs were incurred, and
the Company paid all remaining obligations for severance and benefits and
costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments related to the
formal restructuring plans approved by the Board of Directors in June 2006,
September 2006, and November 2006. For the nine months ending June 30, 2008,
restructuring costs were $0.2 million which were composed of severance and
benefits costs of approximately $80,000 and facilities lease costs of
approximately $0.1 million. For the nine months ending June 30, 2007,
restructuring costs were $3.1 million. The severance and benefits costs
totaled $1.8 million. Included as part of the total severance and benefits
cost, the Company decreased the September and November 2006 restructuring
reserves by $0.1 million due to a revised projection of outplacement and
health insurance benefits liability. Costs related to terminating facility
leases totaled $1.3 million. Included as part of the total lease termination
cost, the Company decreased the fiscal year 2003 restructuring reserve for the
Irvine facility by $0.1 million due to a revised projection of the liability
over the remaining term of the lease. The Company believes that these items do
not reflect expected future operating expenses nor does the Company believe
that they provide a meaningful evaluation of current versus past operational
performance.
(3) This number represents amortization of purchased intangible assets,
principally purchased technology, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS No. 144") and SFAS
No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or
Otherwise Marketed" ("SFAS No. 86"). For the three months ended June 30,
2008, amortization of purchased intangible assets was $0.4 million allocated
to cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, there was
no amortization of purchased intangible assets. For the three months ended
June 30, 2007, amortization of purchased intangible assets was $0.3 million
allocated to cost of goods sold. For the nine months ending June 30, 2008,
amortization of purchased intangible assets was $0.4 million allocated to cost
of goods sold. For the nine months ending June 30, 2007, amortization of
purchased intangible assets was $0.9 million allocated to cost of goods sold.
Future acquisitions may cause amortization expenses to be higher than these
amounts.
