EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment on Form 10-Q/A amends our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as initially filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 9, 2005 and is being filed to reflect reclassification of certain expenses which previously had been shown as sales and marketing expenses to cost of revenues. The
reclassification results in a $1.3 million reduction in sales and marketing expenses and increase to costs of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $3.9 million and $3.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a result of the reclassification, gross profit is $22.2 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $64.4 million and $55.2 million
for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, gross profit as a percentage of revenues is 82% and 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 82% and 81% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The reclassification was done to more accurately report costs associated with revenue from post contract support and professional services. This Amendment amends only Part I of
Form 10-Q, as set forth herein. Unaffected items have not been repeated in this Amendment. This report still speaks as of the filing date of the Form 10-Q and, except as expressly stated herein, no attempt has been made to update this report to
reflect events occurring subsequent to the date of the initial filing date of the Form 10-Q. All information contained in this Amendment is subject to updating and supplementing, as provided in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission subsequent to the date of the filing of the Form 10-Q.

SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



1. Organization



We develop network security solutions that create trusted connections between organizations and their customers, partners, vendors, and employees 
thereby enabling them to exchange critical information safely, helping them confidently build their businesses. Our technologies enable our customers to secure the sharing of information resources at every connection point, while implementing a
balance between security and accessibility according to their policy objectives. We work closely with our customers to provide them with reliable access control and innovative new features that are comprehensive, easy to manage and highly effective
in securing the connections between people, applications and networks.



2.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments and accruals) which are, in our opinion, necessary to present a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements
have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2004 Condensed Balance Sheet is derived from our audited
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004, as amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation format with no impact on net income. In accordance with
Rule 5-03.2 of Regulation S-X, we reclassified certain expenses which previously had been shown as sales and marketing expenses to costs of revenues. The reclassification results in a $1.3 million reduction in sales and marketing expenses and
increase to costs of revenues for both of the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $3.9 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As a result of the
reclassification, gross profit is $22.2 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and $64.4 million and $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
In addition, gross profit as a percentage of revenues is 82% and 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and 82% and 81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The
reclassification was done to more accurately report costs associated with revenue from post contract support and professional services. Also, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 95, Statement of Cash
Flows, we reclassified $5.0 million of taxable auction rate securities from cash equivalents to short-term investments as of December 31, 2003.



3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Revenue Recognition



We derive our revenue primarily from two sources: (i) sales of products, including hardware, subscriptions, software licenses, and royalties and
(ii) sales of services, including maintenance arrangements to provide upgrades and customer support and professional services. We recognize revenue in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition,
as modified by SOP 98-9. Revenue from products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Subscription-based contracts are generally for 12,
24 or 36 months in duration. Subscription revenue along with maintenance revenue for providing product upgrades and customer support are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period beginning with the month the subscription or service
begins.



For arrangements with multiple elements we allocate
revenue to the various elements based on the fair value of each element sold. We determine the fair value of each element based on its selling price when sold separately. Evidence of fair value includes the approved price list and discount schedule
and the actual prices charged for comparable arrangements. These price lists and discount schedules may change from time to time in response to factors including market conditions, value of services and product provided and competitive positioning.
Historically, we have not offered significant discounts off of our list prices.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)



Revenue Recognition (continued)



Further, it is our policy that our distributors and resellers are not
allowed to hold inventory with the exception of international resellers who are allowed to hold inventories of authentication products. This is a low price-point product with disproportionately high overseas freight costs. As such, we allow the
reseller to carry a balance of inventory and provide end-user sell-through reporting. Revenue is recognized at the point that we have shipped product, have received evidence of end-user sell-through, and all other criteria of SOP 97-2 have been met.



Comprehensive Income



During the three months ended September 30, 2005, total comprehensive
income amounted to $5.8 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period of 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total comprehensive income amounted to $14.8 million compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The components of our comprehensive income are net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized gain/(loss) on investments. Results of operations were translated using average exchange rates throughout
the period. Translation gains or losses are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders equity and included in comprehensive income.



Stock Options



We account for our stock option based plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as all options granted under those plans had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data):

Recently Issued Accounting
Standards



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of inventory costs related to idle facility, freight handling and wasted material expenses to be recognized as current period
charges. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards
for accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair
value were required. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of our first annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2006.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)



SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt requirements using
one of two methods: (1) A modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after
the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; (2) A modified
retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma
disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating the two methods and have not yet determined which method will be used. The adoption of
this new accounting pronouncement is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, which provides interpretive guidance
related to the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, as well as provides the SEC staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements. We are currently assessing the impact of SAB
No. 107 on our implementation and adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).



4.
Net Income Per Share



In accordance with SFAS
No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net
income by the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, which consist solely of stock options, and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Potential common shares of 2.3 million and 6.0 million in the three months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and 3.2 million and 2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively related to our outstanding stock options were excluded from the computation of

5. Contingencies



In December 2002, we were named as the defendant in an rental property
lawsuit brought by Salvio Pacheco Square LLP in the in the Superior Court of CaliforniaCounty of Contra Costa. The complaint alleges that we had violated our one-time cancellation provision in a lease for our Concord, CA office and asked for
relief in the form of compensatory and other damages. The Court entered a judgment in favor of the plaintiff in June 2004 in the amount of $1.1 million. We believe that the allegations included in the complaint are wholly without merit, have filed
an appeal to the judgment, and intend to defend this litigation vigorously. It is not possible to predict the timing or outcome of this litigation, however, if we do not prevail in the appeal process, we could incur costs for approximately $1.1 to
$2.0 million.



From time to time we may be engaged in other
certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. The ultimate liabilities, if any, which may result from these or other pending or threatened legal actions against us cannot be determined at this time. However, in
the opinion of management, the facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operation.

6. Income Taxes



During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we incurred tax expenses of $164,000, consisting of $91,000 for United States Federal alternative
minimum income tax expense, $14,000 for state income tax expense, and $59,000 for various foreign income and withholding taxes compared to no tax expense recognized for the same period of 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
we incurred tax expenses of $423,000, consisting of $212,000 for United States Federal alternative minimum tax expense, $14,000 for state income tax expense, and $197,000 for various foreign income and withholding taxes compared to no tax expense
recognized for the same period of 2004. Tax expenses of $127,000 and $278,000 incurred for various foreign income taxes in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively were offset by the reversal of a like amount of the
previously established valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.



7. Related Party Transaction



In February
2005, we made a strategic investment in a privately-held technology company. As a result of this $2.7 million investment, we have a 15% ownership stake in this company. This investment is classified as held-to-maturity in accordance with SFAS
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and is recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.



Two of our board members, one of whom is a board member of the investee, are individual investors of the investee. Due to
their involvement with the investee, these two board members recused themselves from our decision to make the investment.



8. Segment Information



We view our operations and manage our business as one segment called enterprise security solutions. Major foreign markets for our products and services
include Europe, Japan, China, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America. In each market, we have independent channel partners who are responsible for marketing, selling and supporting our products and services to resellers and end-users within their
defined territories. International sales accounted for 30% and 27% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively and 31% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The following

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW



Our specialized solutions
are designed to meet our customers needs to balance security and accessibility and to help them create trusted environments both inside and outside their organizations. Each of our products provides a complete solution in and of itself, and
they also integrate well with each other for a more comprehensive and unified solution. Our products ability to scale as the infrastructure or number of users grows has always been, and continues to be, one of our hallmarks. Our solutions run
on a variety of platforms and integrate well with other enterprise solutions, making our products a safe and economical choice for organizations worldwide. The three product lines that represent the majority of our revenue are the Sidewinder
G2®Security Appliance, our SafeWord® products and our Web filtering products.



Our customers operate some of the largest and most sensitive networks and applications in the world. Our partners and customers include the majority of the Dow Jones Global 50 Titans and numerous organizations in the Fortune 1000, as well
as banking, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, public utilities and schools. We also have close relationships with some of the largest federal, state and local government agencies in the United States.



International sales accounted for 30% and 31% of total revenue for the three
months and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2005. Major foreign markets for our products include Europe, Japan, China, the Pacific Rim and Latin America. In each country, we have independent channel partners responsible for
marketing, selling and supporting our products to resellers and end users.



Each of our individual products competes with a different group of competitors and products. In this highly competitive market, characterized by rapid technological change, our customers purchase decisions are
based heavily upon the quality of the security our products provide, the ease of installation and management, and the scalability and flexibility of our solutions.



Specific challenges and risks that our product lines face include, but are not limited to: responding to competitor pricing
policies and competitive features; rapid technological change in the network security market; and risk of bugs and other errors in our solutions.



Our significant year over year improvement in net income continues to be driven by strong revenue growth, strong gross margins and our ability to control
our operating expenses.



In August 2005, we announced that we
had signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the outstanding stock of CyberGuard. CyberGuard is a leading provider of network security solutions designed to protect enterprises that use the Internet for electronic commerce and secure
communication (customers include Global 2000 companies, major financial institutions, and government agencies worldwide). CyberGuards products include firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network), secure content management and security management

acquisition is pending the SECs declaration of the registration statement as effective and shareholder approval.

##### Table of Contents

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit.Total cost of revenues, which includes products and services
costs, were $5.0 million for the third quarters of 2005 and 2004. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was 82% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 80% in the third quarter of 2004. Gross profit for products increased to 81% in the
third quarter of 2005 compared to 80% in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven by growth in software revenue and OEM royalty revenue, which have higher profit margins than our products containing a hardware component. Gross profit for
services increased to $6.6 million, or 83% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $5.0 million, or 80% in the same period of 2004. This increase was primarily driven by our services revenue growth outpacing the growth of our services costs in 2005
compared to 2004.



Operating Expenses. Operating
expenses consist of selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses increased 5% to $16.8 million for the third quarter of 2005 up from $16.0 million in the same period of 2004. This
increase was driven primarily by an inflationary increase in payroll and related costs and allocated corporate costs and an increase in commission expense due to expanding revenue. As a percentage of revenue, total operating expenses were 62% for
the quarter compared to 65% in the same period of 2004. This improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses in 2005 compared to 2004.



Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, and benefits
related to personnel engaged in selling and marketing functions, along with costs related to advertising, promotions, public relations, travel and allocations of corporate costs, which include information technology, facilities and human resources
expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 6% to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2005 up from $10.3 million in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven primarily by inflationary increases in payroll and related costs, an
increase in commission expense due to expanding revenues, and inflationary increases in allocated corporate costs. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expense was 40% for the quarter compared to 42% in the same period of 2004. This
improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses in 2005 compared to 2004.



Research and Development.Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for our product development personnel and
allocations of corporate costs, which include information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Research and development expenses increased 7% to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 up from $4.1 million in the same period of
2004. This increase represents inflationary increases in payroll and related costs and inflationary increases in allocated corporate costs. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were 16% for the quarter compared to 17% in the
same period of 2004. This improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses in 2005 compared to 2004.



General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and related expenses for our executive,
finance and legal personnel, directors and officers insurance and allocations of corporate costs, which include information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 12% to $1.5 million in the
third quarter of 2005 down from $1.7 million in the same period of 2004. This decrease was driven primarily by decreases in legal and audit fees and directors and officers insurance premiums, offset somewhat by inflationary increases in payroll and
related costs and inflationary increases in allocated corporate costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 6% for the quarter compared to 7% in the same period of 2004. This improvement was primarily driven by
revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses in 2005 compared to 2004.



Interest and Other Income.Net interest and other income was $552,000 in the third quarter of 2005, an increase from $85,000 in the same period of 2004. The increase is a result of higher interest rates on
higher average cash and short-term investment balances.



Income Taxes. We incurred tax expenses of $164,000, consisting of $91,000 for United States Federal alternative minimum income tax expense, $14,000 for state income tax expense, and $59,000 for various foreign income and withholding
taxes, in the third quarter of 2005 compared to no tax expense recognized in the third quarter of 2004. Tax expense of $127,000 incurred for various foreign income taxes in the third quarter of 2004 was offset by the reversal of a like amount of the
previously established valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.



Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.



Revenues.Our total revenues increased 16% to $78.9 million for the first nine months of 2005 up from $67.9 million in the same period of 2004. Our product revenues increased 17% to $57.0 million for the first
nine months of 2005 up from $48.6 million in the same period of 2004. Our service revenues increased 14% to $22.0 million for the first nine months of 2005 up from $19.3 million in the same period of 2004. The revenue growth was primarily driven by

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit.Total cost of revenues, which includes products and services
costs, increased 16% to $14.6 million for the first nine months of 2005 up from $12.6 million in the same period of 2004. This increase is the direct result of the increase in total revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the
first nine months of 2005 was 82% compared to 81% for the first nine months of 2004. Gross profit for products increased to 81% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 82% in the same period of 2004. Despite growth in our lower margin security
appliance product line, we were able to maintain product margins comparable to prior years due to improved pricing on this product line as well as reduced hardware component costs. We also maintained strength in our higher margin web filtering
product line. Gross profit for services increased to $18.1 million, or 82% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $15.6 million, or 81% in the same period of 2004. This increase was primarily driven by our services revenue growth outpacing the
growth of our services costs in 2005 compared to 2004.



Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. Total operating expenses in the first nine months of 2005 were $50.1 million, which is a 6%
increase over $47.2 million in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven primarily by an inflationary increase in payroll and related costs and allocated corporate costs and an increase in commission expense due to expanding revenue. As a
percentage of revenue, total operating expense was 63% for the first nine months of 2005 compared to 70% in the same period of 2004. This improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses during 2005

marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, and benefits related to personnel engaged in selling and marketing functions, along with costs related to advertising, promotions, public relations, travel and allocations of information
technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Selling and marketing expenses in the first of nine months of 2005 were $32.1 million, which is a 7% increase over $30.1 million in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven primarily by
inflationary increases in payroll and related costs, an increase in commission expense due to expanding revenues, and inflationary increases in allocated corporate costs. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses were 41% for the

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salaries and benefits for our product development personnel and allocations of information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. Research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2005 were $12.7 million, which
is a 3% increase over $12.3 million in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven by inflationary increases in payroll, benefits and allocated corporate costs, offset by a decrease in common criteria costs. As a percentage of revenue,
research and development expenses were 16% for the first nine months of 2005 compared to 18% in the same period of 2004. This improvement was primarily driven by revenue growth outpacing the growth of operating expenses during 2005 compared to 2004.



General and Administrative. General and administrative
expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and related expenses for our executive, finance, and legal personnel along with allocated information technology, facilities and human resources expenses. General and administrative expenses in the
first nine months of 2005 were $5.3 million, which is an 8% increase over $4.9 million in the same period of 2004. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in legal and audit fees, loss on disposal of fixed assets, inflationary increases in
allocated corporate costs, and to a lesser extent, inflationary increases in payroll and benefits. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 7% for the first nine months of both 2005 and 2004.



Interest and Other Income.Net interest and other income was $952,000
in the first nine months of 2005, an increase from $291,000 in the same period of 2004. The increase reflects higher interest income earned from our higher average cash and short-term investment balances, offset by a state sales tax liability charge
in the current year.



Income Taxes. We incurred tax
expenses of $423,000, consisting of $212,000 for United States Federal alternative minimum income tax expense, $14,000 for state income tax expense, and $197,000 for various foreign income and withholding taxes, in the first nine months of 2005
compared to no tax expense recognized in the first nine months of 2004. Tax expense of $278,000 incurred for various foreign income taxes in the first nine months of 2004 was offset by the reversal of a like amount of the previously established
valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. Realization of the $3.6 million of net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2005 is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income and the implementation of tax
planning strategies. Future taxable income of $9.0 million is required to realize the $3.6 million deferred tax asset. We had total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $181.1 million at September 30, 2005. Of these carryforwards,
$45.1 million relates to stock option exercises and $58.4 million relates to

acquired N2H2 net operating losses, which currently have a full valuation allowance, and when realized for financial
statement purposes will not result in a reduction in income tax expense. Rather, the benefit from the stock option exercises will be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and the benefit from the N2H2 net operating loss carryforwards
will be recorded as a decrease to goodwill. Of the remaining benefit associated with the carryforwards, approximately $77.6 million of net operating loss carryforwards have yet to be utilized. When tax effected, these result in $31.0 million that
would be recognized as a benefit in the consolidated statement of operations. However, there are no assurances that these carryforwards will be available to offset future income tax expense when taxable income is realized.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments increased by $20.3
million from $52.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $72.6 million at September 30, 2005. The increase is primarily due to $18.5 million provided by operating activities and $6.2 million from the exercise of stock options and sales of common
stock through our employee stock purchase plan, offset by $2.7 million cash outlay for an investment in a privately held technology company and $1.7 million for capital additions.



Net cash provided by operating activities of $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was comprised
of $14.8 million in net income, $2.7 million in net non-cash related expenses, and a $5.0 million increase in deferred revenue, offset by a $3.8 million increase in current assets and a $212,000 decrease in liabilities. Net cash provided by
operations was driven by the increase in revenue outpacing our increase in operating expenses. Terms for cash collections received from customers and cash payments made to vendors were consistent with normal business practices.



Net cash used for investing activities of $19.0 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of a $2.7 million cash outlay for an investment in a privately held technology company, $14.3 million in net purchases of short term investments, and $1.7 million for capital additions, which were
primarily for computer equipment and technology upgrades. We expect to use another $1.8 million during the remainder of 2005 mainly for computer equipment, technology upgrades and leasehold improvements.



Net cash used for intangibles and other assets of $3.0 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily for the $2.7 million strategic investment we made in a privately-held technology company.



Net cash provided by financing activities of $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted primarily of proceeds received from
the exercise of stock options and sales of common stock through our employee stock purchase plan.



As of September 30, 2005, we had working capital of $73.2 million. We anticipate using available cash to fund growth in operations, invest in capital
equipment and leasehold improvements, acquire businesses, and to license technology or products related to our line of business.



We believe that we have sufficient financial resources available to fund our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the
next twelve months. We intend to continue to invest our cash in excess of current operating requirements in interest bearing, short term investments.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements made above, which are summarized below, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be
materially different. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include those identified below:



We believe it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets, which total $3.6 million at September 30, 2005, will be realized. This
expectation depends upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income and the implementation of tax planning strategies. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future
taxable income are reduced.



We believe that we have
sufficient financial resources available to fund our current working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Several factors may affect the availability of sufficient cash resources to fund our product
development and marketing and sales plans for the next twelve months, including:



| |  | our ability to generate revenue as currently expected;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  | unexpected expenses, such as increases in personnel and operating expenses;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the need for additional funds to react to changes in the marketplace;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | and currently unplanned acquisitions.
