This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including forward-looking statements about our expected future financial
and operating performance, demand for and performance of our products
and growth opportunities. These statements are based on management's
expectations as of the date of this document and are subject to
uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these expectations due to risks and uncertainties. These
and other risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. In
addition, while management may elect to update forward-looking

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting its financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has also
provided in this release non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing
operations, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations per share
figures, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per
share figures, which are non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to exclude
certain non-cash and other specified expenses. The Company believes the
use of non-GAAP measures in addition to GAAP measures is an additional
useful method of evaluating its results of operations. Management uses
these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the Company's
financial results, as well as for internal planning and forecasting
purposes. Specifically, the Company has excluded stock-based
compensation, the other-than-temporary impairment of Verso common stock,
transaction costs related to the proposed sale of the NMS Communications
Platforms business and amortization of intangible assets from its
non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed
by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the
expected results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations
to those expected results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP
financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently
from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures
used by other companies. A reconciliation between these non-GAAP
financial measures on a GAAP basis and a non-GAAP basis is provided in a
table at the end of this press release.
