−Removed: Actual results could differ from these estimates.
−Removed: Software Development Costs for External Use
−Removed: Software development costs for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time those costs are capitalized as intangible assets until the software is available for general release to customers.
−Removed: The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment for recoverability of capitalized computer software development costs requires considerable judgment by us with respect to certain external factors including, but not
−Removed: limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.
−Removed: Capitalized software development costs are comprised primarily of salaries, other direct payroll-related costs and payments to third party vendors.
−Removed: Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life.
−Removed: Costs incurred to enhance existing software or after the software is available for general release to customers are expensed in the period they are incurred and included in research and development expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived.
−Removed: At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized software development costs for external use is compared to the net realizable value of that product by analyzing critical inputs such as expected future lifetime revenue.
−Removed: The amount by which unamortized software costs exceed the net realizable value, if any, is recognized as a charge to amortization expense in the period it is determined.

−Removed: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.

−Removed: The Company reviews the components of its inventory and its inventory purchase commitments on a regular basis for excess and obsolete inventory based on estimated future usage and sales.
−Removed: Write-downs in inventory value or losses on inventory purchase commitments depend on various items, including factors related to customer demand, economic and competitive conditions, technological advances or new product introductions by the Company or its customers that vary from its current expectations.
+Added: Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States.
+Added: The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
+Added: We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to capitalization and subsequent valuation of externally marketed software development costs and inventory valuation.
+Added: We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
+Added: Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
+Added: We believe that the following accounting estimates we have identified as critical involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity than our other accounting estimates.

+Added: These estimates are sensitive to determinations of project progress, expectations of the period over which the software will be sold, as well as forecasts of future demand for the externally marketed software.
+Added: Any changes to such estimates, for example changes in the expected period over which the software will be sold, impact our consolidated financial results in periods subsequent to determining those estimates.
+Added: Inventory Valuation
+Added: Estimates in the valuation of inventory that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty include our estimates of excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasts of future demand for our products in inventory.
+Added: Any changes to such estimates, for example differences in actual sales versus our estimates of demand, or conversely, the ultimate sell-through of fully reserved inventory for which we did not anticipate any future demand, impact our consolidated financial results in periods subsequent to recording those estimates.
+Added: Other than our forecasts of future demand, there are no assumptions inherent in our estimates in the valuation of inventory that would result in sensitivity of reported amounts to such assumptions.
