GAAP to Non-GAAP Core Adjustments:

(a) Stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of all stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), which we adopted on October 1, 2005.

 

(b) Transitional salaries and benefits represent amounts earned by employees who have been notified of their termination as part of our restructuring activities, from the date of their notification.

 

(c) Amortization of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

 

(d) Asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended March 28, 2008 consist primarily of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our Broadband Media Processing business of $119.6 million. Asset impairment charges for the three and six months ended March 30, 2007 include a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $135.0 million and an intangible asset impairment charge of $20.0 million, both of which were related to our Embedded Wireless Networking business.

 

(e) Special charges for the three and six months ended March 28, 2008, primarily consist of restructuring charges. Special charges for the three and six months ended March 30, 2007 consist of restructuring charges and the expense related to the settlement of our Dutch tax audit.

 

(f) Other gains and losses which are not part of our core, on-going operations. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2008, this amount relates to an environmental remediation charge.

(i) Gains on sales of equity securities or on the liquidation of companies in which we held equity securities.

 

(j) Other gains and losses which are not part of our core, on-going operations. For the three and six months ended March 28, 2008, this amount primarily relates to the accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs related to the repurchase of $53.6 million of floating rate senior notes.

 

(k) Our first quarter fiscal 2008 financial results included $14.7 million of non-recurring revenue that resulted from the buyout of a future royalty stream.
