Zeev, they are restating their March quarter and have written off $38.7 billion in that quarter. Book value is about $12.15/share down from $47.64.

The Company has had communications with the Staff of the SEC, and will amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $38.7 billion for that quarter. In addition, the Company has recorded a $6.1 billion reduction of goodwill for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 following further declines in its market capitalization. Finally, approximately $300 million in certain amounts paid to SDL executives in connection with the acquisition which were previously recorded as acquisition costs in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 have been reclassified as a one-time charge for that period and the Company also recorded a $715 million charge for that period to write down the value of its equity investment in ADVA. Because of the significant industry downturn the Company is in the process of performing a review of its long-lived assets in accordance with GAAP, and this review may result in further charges being recorded for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 based on the value of such assets.
