"Second quarter earnings benefited from higher sales, growth in margins and the results of cost reductions implemented in the second half of 2005.

(a) Stock Compensation relates to expensing of stock options,
    restricted stock units and performance shares and amortization of
    deferred compensation (from the capitalization of the value of
    stock options assumed in acquisitions). Avocent adopted SFAS 123R
    effective January 1, 2006 and began recording expense related to
    outstanding unvested stock options on that date as well as on
    subsequent equity compensation grants.

(b) Adjustments relate to intangibles recorded as the result of
    acquisitions. The calculation of weighted average shares and
    common equivalents outstanding differs due to excluding the
    average unamortized deferred compensation expense in calculating
    the operational diluted shares outstanding in 2005.

(a) Stock Compensation relates to expensing of stock options,
    restricted stock units and performance shares and amortization of
    deferred compensation (from the capitalization of the value of
    stock options assumed in acquisitions). Avocent adopted SFAS 123R
    effective January 1, 2006 and began recording expense related to
    outstanding unvested stock options on that date as well as on
    subsequent equity compensation grants.

(b) Adjustments relate to acquired in-process research and development
    expense from the Cyclades acquisition and intangibles recorded as
    the result of acquisitions. The calculation of weighted average
    shares and common equivalents outstanding differs due to excluding
    the average unamortized deferred compensation expense in
    calculating the operational diluted shares outstanding in 2005.
