+Added: While our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

+Added: Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.
+Added: Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

−Removed: In these arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price between the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license.
+Added: In these arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price between the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license which requires significant management judgment.
In determining the stand-alone selling price of the release for past patent infringement claims and the future license, the Company considers such factors as the number of units shipped in the past or the number of past subscribers and the relevant geographies of the shipped units or subscribers, the future number of subscribers or units, as well as the licensing rate the Company generally receives for per-subscriber or units shipped in the same geographies.
As the release from past patent infringement claims is generally satisfied at execution of the agreement, the transaction price allocated to the release from past patent infringement claims is generally recognized in the period the agreement is executed and the amount of transaction price allocated to the future license is recognized ratably over the future license term.

−Removed: The Company periodically reassesses the estimated useful life of DVRs and non-DVRs.
−Removed: When the actual useful life of a DVR or a non-DVR materially differs from the Company's estimate, the estimated useful life of the DVR or non-DVR is adjusted, which could result in the recognition of revenue over a longer or shorter period of time.
