Additional Transactions Analyzed
  
    
    Premature recognition of revenue for products sold with FOB Destination or other
similar shipping terms, or for incomplete shipment of products or storage of products
following shipment;
    
    Non-standard terms and conditions that prevented recognition of revenue upon
shipment, including rights of return, extended payment terms, product replacement
commitments, potential free upgrades and other non-standard commitments, that prevented
recognition of revenue upon shipment; and
    
    Lack of probable collectability at the time revenue was recognized.
  Other Impact of Revenue Adjustments
  Other Errors in Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
  
    
    Stock-Based Compensation Expense.The Company identified a software-based error in
its calculated stock-based compensation expense. The previous version of software used
to calculate stock-based compensation expense incorrectly continued to apply a weighted
average forfeiture rate to the vested portion of stock option awards until the grants
final vest date, rather than reflecting actual forfeitures as awards vested. This
error resulted in an understatement of stock-based compensation expense in certain
periods prior to the grants final vest date. The Company recorded additional
stock-based compensation expense of $247,000 and $1.1 million for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.


    
    Interest Income.The Company identified an error in the accounting relating to the
timing of the recognition of interest income with respect to its patent license with
Sony Computer Entertainment. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional interest
income of approximately $0 and $192,000 for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively. This accounting error related to the timing of the
recognition of interest income but does not change the overall interest income to be
recognized.
 
    
    Amortization and Impairment of Intangibles.The Company identified instances where it
had not commenced amortization of patents in the periods the patents were granted. In
addition, the Company identified certain patent applications that were abandoned but
had not been previously identified as such and has corrected this error by increasing
amortization and impairment of intangibles by $22,000 and $85,000 in the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Plans for Remediation
   
    
    During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we engaged outside consultants to advise us
in areas of complex tax accounting and to design and implement controls to ensure
proper communication with our personnel to obtain the needed advice and review of tax
related accounting and reporting documentation.
    
    In November 2008, we hired a senior tax manager who had responsibility to consider
and apply proper accounting for income taxes, design and implement controls to ensure
that the rationale for positions taken on certain tax matters would be adequately
documented and appropriately communicated to all internal and external members of our
tax team, and design and implement controls over the adjustment of the income tax
accounts based on the preparation and filing of income tax returns. In June 2009, the
senior tax manager departed the Company and we outsourced the preparation of the
Companys quarterly and annual tax calculations and the related financial disclosures
including the rationale for recognizing the benefits of certain tax positions in the
financial statements to an external provider with oversight responsibility remaining
with the corporate controller. We continue to evaluate additional steps to remediate
this material weakness.
