(A)  Reconciliation of Earnings Following Generally Accepted
     Accounting Principles (GAAP) With Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     (Pro Forma Earnings)

Paradyne supplements its earnings releases provided in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, with non-GAAP financial
measures that exclude those transactions that management does not
reasonably expect to be part of recurring business transactions over
the long term. Paradyne's management believes the pro forma
information provides investors useful information to understand
operating results and make comparisons with prior periods. Paradyne's
management uses such pro forma measures internally, to evaluate the
company's net income and operating performance on a period-over-
period basis, and for planning and forecasting future periods.

Pro forma diluted net income (loss) per share calculations exclude
the elimination of positive margin generated from the reversal of
inventory reserves, the financial statement impact of the writeoff of
purchased research and development related to the acquisition of
Elastic Networks Inc., the amortization of deferred stock compensation
and intangible assets, business restructuring charges and tax benefit
from the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002.
