ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Announcement of Results of Operations for Second Quarter

On April 14, 2005, the Company announced its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

A copy of the Company’s press release dated April 14, 2005 is furnished as Exhibit 99 hereto.

In its press release, the Company announced its net income and earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP and on a pro forma basis. As presented by the Company, pro forma net income and EPS is adjusted to exclude the amortization of acquired technology and other intangibles and the related tax effects. Management believes that such pro forma net income and EPS information is useful to investors, first because it is important for investors to receive information in a form that is consistent with the Company’s past practice, and second because the Company’s amortization of intangibles expense is substantially fixed, and is relatively large in comparison with the absolute value of the Company’s operating income. The Company believes that by focusing on the impact of expenses that are to a greater extent subject to control by the Company’s management, pro forma EPS provide investors with a more direct perspective on the performance of the Company and its management.
