MARCH 31, 2005

     Tangram was consolidated through February 20, 2004 at which time it was sold to Opsware, Inc. in a stock and debt for stock exchange. The Company recorded an $8.5 million gain on the transaction, which is included in Other Income (Loss), Net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including the reclassification of CompuCom, previously a majority owned subsidiary, as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the Company’s interest in October 2004. The impact of these changes did not affect the Company’s net loss.

6.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No.123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) will require companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) requires additional accounting and disclosure related to the income tax and cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective beginning as of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 123 (R) on January 1, 2006. This new standard may be adopted in one of two ways – the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), which will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See the pro forma disclosures currently provided under SFAS No. 123 in Note 10.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,” an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.” SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges beginning in our third quarter of 2005. We do not believe adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
