In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, net income includes $3.2 million in legal and accounting expenses related to the stock option investigation and restatement of financial statements, $0.4 million in amortization of intangible assets, and $2.1 million in stock-based compensation expense.

The Company reported non-GAAP net income of $5.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blue Coat uses the non-GAAP financial measures of income discussed above for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per share data. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Blue Coat believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors regarding its ongoing operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations. Blue Coat believes that it is useful to provide investors with information to understand how specific line items in the statement of operations are affected by certain items, such as the legal and accounting expenses related to the stock option investigation and restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, stock-based compensation expense, payroll taxes, penalties and interest related to the disqualification of stock options due to revised measurement dates, restructuring charges, and amortization of intangible assets. In addition, the Company's management and board of directors use certain non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's financial results of operations since items such as the legal and accounting expenses related to the stock option investigation and related restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements, stock-based compensation expense, payroll taxes, penalties and interest related to the disqualification of stock options due to revised measurement dates, restructuring charges, and amortization of intangible assets are not considered to impact current resource allocation decisions. The Company believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(4) Professional services associated with the Company's stock option
investigation and related restatement.
(5) In Q4 2006, the Company reversed certain restructuring reserves
related to decreases in the estimated costs required to restore
leased facilities to the condition stipulated in the related lease
agreements.
(6) Charge for acquired in-process research and development associated
with the acquisition of Permeo in March 2006.
(7) In fiscal Q2 2006, the company wrote-off $272,000 of capitalized
software associated with a planning and budgeting system due to
the software vendor's inability to deliver a functioning product.
In fiscal Q3 2006, $157,000 was recovered from the software vendor
and recognized as a benefit resulting in a net write-off for fiscal
2006 of $115,000. Both the write-off and recovery are included in
general and administrative expense in the respective quarter.
(8) For fiscal Q4 2006, diluted EPS for the purpose of reconciling
non-GAAP to GAAP net income and EPS differs from shares used to
calculate diluted EPS in our GAAP financial statements since the
inclusion of certain instruments on a GAAP basis would have been
anti-dilutive.
