Company Outlook For the quarter ending December 31, 2008, iPass projects revenues of approximately $47 million to $50 million, fully diluted GAAP earnings (loss) per share of approximately ($0.02) to ($0.05) and fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.00 to $0.03. The difference between the projected fully diluted GAAP loss per share and the projected fully diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately $0.05 is based on expected FAS 123R stock-based compensation of $1.5 million dollars, the expected amortization of intangibles of $1.1 million and an expected restructuring charge of between $400,000 and $600,000 relating to the change in Chief Executive Officers in the fourth quarter of 2008 which, when divided by an expected 62 million fully diluted shares outstanding, results in the $0.05 difference. Conference Call The call will be webcast on iPass' web site at http://investor.ipass.com, and a replay of the webcast will be available on iPass' web site until iPass reports its fourth quarter and full year 2008 financial results. A taped replay will also be available for two weeks following the date of the call. The dial-in numbers for the taped replay are 1-888-286-8010 (U.S. and Canada) and 1-617-801-6888 (international). The ID number for the replay call is 68921952. Cautionary Statements Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures For purposes of comparability across other periods and against other companies in the company's industry, the company reports non-GAAP net income (loss) as adjusted by the amount of additional taxes or tax benefit that the company would accrue using a normalized effective tax rate applied to the non-GAAP results. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Moreover, they should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of the company's liquidity. The company presents non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) because the company considers them to be important supplemental measures of the company's performance. Management excludes from its non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP operating income (loss) certain recurring items to facilitate its review of the comparability of the company's core operating performance on a period to period basis because such items are not related to the company's ongoing core operating performance as viewed by management. Management uses non-GAAP earnings per share as one of the components for measurement of incentive compensation. Management uses this view of the company's operating performance for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and allocations of resources. Additionally, when evaluating potential acquisitions, management excludes the items described above from its consideration of target performance and valuation. More specifically, management adjusts for the following excluded items: a) stock-based compensation expense; Management adjusts for the excluded items because management believes that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the company's control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual and the company does not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants. iPass believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is warranted for several reasons: 1) Such non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional analytical tool for understanding the company's financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business; 2) Since the company has historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency and enhances investors' ability to compare the company's performance across financial reporting periods; 3) These non-GAAP financial measures are employed by the company's management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision making processes, such as budget planning and forecasting; 4) These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the operating results of other companies in the company's industry, which use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results, thus enhancing the perspective of investors who wish to utilize such comparisons in their analysis of the company's performance. Set forth below are additional reasons why specific items are excluded from the company's non-GAAP financial measures: a) While stock-based compensation calculated in accordance with FAS 123R constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense of the company, it is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by the company. The company therefore excludes these charges for purposes of evaluating core performance as well as with respect to evaluating any potential acquisition. b) Restructuring charges are primarily related to severance costs and/or the disposition of excess facilities driven by modifications of business strategy. These costs are excluded because they are inherently variable in size, and are not specifically included in the company's annual operating plan and related budget due to the rapidly changing facts and circumstances typically associated with such modifications of business strategy; c) Amortization charges for purchased technology and other intangible assets are excluded because they are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the company's acquisition transactions. The company analyzes and measures the company's operating results without these charges when evaluating the company's core performance. Generally, the impact of these charges to the company's net income (loss) tends to diminish over time following an acquisition; d) Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is excluded because it is inconsistent in amount and frequency. iPass analyzes and measures operating results without this charge when evaluating core performance. The charge is not an expense that typically requires or will require cash settlement by the company; e) Income tax expense (benefit) is adjusted in the non-GAAP tax-effected numbers by the amount of additional expense or benefit that the company would accrue if non-GAAP results were used instead of GAAP results in the calculation of tax liability, taking into consideration the company's long-term tax structure. In the future, the company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures on a tax-effected basis excluding items described above and the company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above. Accordingly, exclusion of these and other similar items in the company's non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. As stated above, the company presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's GAAP results. In the future, the company expects to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above and expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures excluding such items. Some of the limitations in relying on non-GAAP financial measures are:
