A[paragraph]   (1) Amounts presented are estimates, and the Company has made a
        number of assumptions in preparing our projections, including
        assumptions as to the components of these financial metrics.
        The reconciliations of projected non-GAAP financial measures
        include forward-looking information with respect to the
        information identified as a projection. The EPS projections
        assume a projected weighed average diluted share count of
        approximately 70.5 million shares.

A[paragraph]   (2) Management believes that normalized operating income,
        normalized income from continuing operations, normalized
        diluted EPS from continuing operations and normalized cash
        provided by operating activities from continuing operations
        provide useful information regarding underlying trends in our
        continuing operations by excluding non-recurring items that
        are unrelated to our ongoing operations.

A[paragraph]   (3) The Company expects equity based compensation expense to be a
        recurring cost and presents pro forma diluted EPS from
        continuing operations to exclude this item as well as
        restructuring costs and amortization expense to eliminate
        these significant non-cash charges to earnings to help
        investors better understand the operating performance of our
        business.

A[paragraph]   (1) The Company has previously announced Conferencing &
        Collaboration's largest customer's intention to insource most
        of its automated conferencing needs, as well as the
        acceleration in the decline of revenue generated by Data
        Communications legacy broadcast fax business. Management has
        presented consolidated and business segment revenue excluding
        these items because management believes that these events or
        trends particular to each business segment may be deemed to be
        so significant to obscure patterns and trends of our core
        business in total.

A[paragraph]   (2) Management believes that normalized operating income,
        normalized income from continuing operations, normalized
        diluted EPS from continuing operations and normalized cash
        provided by operating activities from continuing operations
        provide useful information regarding underlying trends in our
        continuing operations.

A[paragraph]   (3) Management expects equity based compensation expense to be a
        recurring cost and presents pro forma diluted EPS from
        continuing operations to exclude this item as well as one-time
        state income tax adjustment, restructuring costs and
        amortization expense to eliminate these significant non-cash
        charges to earnings to help investors better understand the
        operating performance of our business.
