1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
     The pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated as of October 1, 2010.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The following pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:
Equitrac
(A1)    Adjustment to eliminate historical amortization expense of $0.4 million on historical Equitrac intangible assets.
 
    Adjustment to record $5.8 million amortization expense for the $91.9 million of acquired intangible assets for Equitrac. Acquired intangible assets will be amortized using the straight line method, except for customer relationships which will be amortized over a term consistent with the related future cash flow streams. The estimated weighted average useful life of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is 12.3 years.
 
(A2)    Adjustment to eliminate historical amortization expense of debt issuance costs and interest expense relating to the existing financial indebtedness that was cancelled pursuant to the acquisition of Equitrac.
 
(A3)    Adjustment to reduce interest income by applying the rate of return for the respective period to the assumed net decrease in cash used to fund the acquisition.

(A4)    Adjustment to record the impact of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, and ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements to conform Equitrac’s accounting change with Nuance implementation date of October 1, 2010.
 
(A5)    Adjustment to eliminate transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of Equitrac.
 
(A6)    Adjustment to eliminate the change in fair value of Equitrac’s historical warrants that were canceled as part of the acquisition.
 
(A7)    We have recorded the net deferred tax liabilities related to Equitrac’s acquired intangible assets of $38.3 million. As a result of the consolidation of the businesses, we will now be allowed to utilize the Equitrac deferred tax liabilities to offset a portion of our existing deferred tax assets in the U.S., creating future tax benefits that had previously been reduced by a valuation allowance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, following the acquisition of Equitrac, we reduced the valuation allowance by $34.7 million and recorded the reduction as an increase to the tax benefit during the period. The adjustment eliminates this one-time benefit from the pro forma financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011.
SVOX
(B1)    Adjustment to eliminate historical amortization expense of $0.5 million on historical SVOX intangible assets.
 
    Adjustment to record $3.3 million amortization expense, on a straight-line basis for the $42.2 million of acquired intangible assets for SVOX. Acquired intangible assets will be amortized using the straight line method. The estimated weighted average useful life of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is 12.1 years.
 
(B2)     Adjustment to reduce interest income by applying the rate of return for the respective period to the assumed net decrease in cash used to fund the acquisition.
 
(B3)     Adjustment to eliminate transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of SVOX.
Swype
(C1)    Adjustment to record $3.4 million amortization expense for the $32.3 million of acquired intangible assets for Swype. Acquired intangible assets will be amortized using the straight line method, except for customer relationships which will be amortized over a term consistent with the related future cash flow streams. The estimated weighted average useful life of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is 8.1 years.
 
(C2)     Adjustment to eliminate transactions costs directly attributable to the acquisition of Swype.
 
(C3)    Adjustment to reduce interest income by applying the rate of return for the respective period to the assumed net decrease in cash used to fund the acquisition.
 
(C4)    Adjustment to eliminate historical interest expense relating to the existing financial indebtedness that was cancelled pursuant to the acquisition of Swype.
 
(C5)    Adjustment to record compensation expense related to the deferred acquisition payment for Swype, contingent on the continued employment of certain executives.
 
(C6)   Adjustment to record cash consideration of $77.5 million paid in connection with the acquisition.
 
    Adjustment to record reduction in cash of $1.9 million used to payoff Swype’s debt in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
 
(C7)   Adjustment to eliminate the historical equity of Swype including the manditorily redeemable preferred stock.
 
(C8)   Adjustment to record goodwill of $64.8 million for the purchase price in excess of the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
(C9)   Adjustment to record the fair value of the acquired intangible assets which consist primarily of Developed Technology and Customer Relationships.
 
(C10)   Adjustment to reduce the historical deferred revenue to its estimated fair value.
 
(C11)   Adjustment to record the deferred tax impact of the acquired intangible assets.
 
(C12)   Adjustment to record the fair value of the contingent consideration of $17.3 million, that is payable on the eighteen month anniversary of the closing date. The remaining contingent consideration of $7.7 million is contingent upon continued employment of certain defined executives with Nuance and is recognized as acquisition-related costs over the service period.

4. OTHER NON-RECURRING ACTIVITIES
Release of valuation allowance
     We have recorded net deferred tax liabilities related to Equitrac’s acquired intangible assets of $38.3 million. As a result of the consolidation of the businesses, we will now be allowed to utilize the Equitrac deferred tax liabilities to offset a portion of our existing deferred tax assets in the U.S., creating future tax benefits that had previously been reduced by a valuation allowance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, following the acquisition of Equitrac, we reduced the valuation allowance by $34.7 million and recorded the reduction as an increase to the tax benefit during the period. This non-recurring benefit has not been reflected in these pro forma financial statements.
Restructuring
     We expect that as we integrate Swype into our existing business we will incur restructuring costs. Restructuring costs are typically comprised of severance costs of consolidating duplicate facilities and contract termination costs. As of the acquisition date, we had not finalized any specific restructuring plans for Swype, and therefore no provision has been made for these costs in these pro forma financial statements.
