license revenues, which grew 17% year over year," stated John Chen,

consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in our database business and
reflects market share gains driven by robust demand for our Adaptive Server
Enterprise 15.0 flagship database and our IQ analytics server.
    "We are also very encouraged by our first full quarter of mobile
messaging revenue, which exceeded our expectations and successfully
attracted new, high- profile customers like China Mobile, NTT Docomo, and
Virgin Mobile.
    "We are confident that our solid balance sheet, compelling product
portfolio, and go-to-market strategy position us well to achieve our
revenue, earnings, and cash flow targets for the year," concluded Mr. Chen.

    (1)  Use of Pro Forma Financial Information
         To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
         Sybase uses pro forma measures of operating results, net income and
         earnings per share, which are adjusted from GAAP-based results to
         exclude certain costs and expenses.  These pro forma adjustments are
         provided to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial
         performance and our prospects for the future, and are one of the
         primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting
         future periods.  We have excluded such items, including purchase
         accounting adjustments in connection with acquisitions, stock-based
         compensation, the cost of restructuring, and the tax effects of these
         items because we do not believe they are indicative of our core
         business.  Even though such items have recurred in the past and may
         recur in future periods, they are driven by events (such as
         acquisitions and restructurings) that occur sporadically and are not
         directly related to our ongoing core business operations.  Pro forma
         financial information is never intended to be considered in isolation
         from, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in
         accordance with GAAP.

    (2)  Proforma adjustments
         Proforma adjustments include the following:  (a) amortization of
         purchased intangibles; (b) stock-based compensation expense; (c) cost
         of restructuring charges; (d) income tax effect of proforma
         adjustments.

    Note:  The pro forma statement of operations is intended to present the
    Company's operating results excluding purchase accounting adjustments
    associated with the acquisitions of Home Financial Network, Inc., New Era
    of Networks, Inc., AvantGo Inc., Dejima, Inc., XcelleNet, Inc., Avaki,
    Inc., ISDD Ltd., Extended Systems, Inc., Solonde Solutions AG, and Mobile
    365, Inc. and other purchased intangibles. Such purchase accounting
    adjustments would include amortization of developed technology,
    amortization of intangibles, and related adjustments for income tax
    provision.  The pro forma statement of operations also excludes stock
    compensation expense and restructuring costs which we do not believe are
    indicative of our core business.  Even though such items have recurred in
    the past and may recur in future periods, they are driven by events (such
    as acquisitions and restructurings) that occur sporadically and are not
    directly related to our ongoing core business operations.  Pro forma
    financial information is never intended to be considered in isolation
    from, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance
    with GAAP.

    adjustments would include amortization of developed technology,
    amortization of intangibles, and related adjustments for income tax

    compensation expense and restructuring costs which we do not believe are
    indicative of our core business.  Even though such items have recurred in
    the past and may recur in future periods, they are driven by events (such

    directly related to our ongoing core business operations.  Pro forma
    financial information is never intended to be considered in isolation
    from, or as a substitute for, financial results prepared in accordance

    Use of Pro Forma Financial Information
    To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Sybase
    uses pro forma measures of operating results, net income and earnings per
    share, which are adjusted from GAAP-based results to exclude certain costs
    and expenses.  These pro forma adjustments are provided to enhance an
    overall understanding of our current financial performance and our
    prospects for the future, and are one of the primary indicators management
    uses for planning and forecasting future periods.  We have excluded such
    items, including purchase accounting adjustments in connection with
    acquisitions because we do not believe they are indicative of our core
    business.  Even though such items have recurred in the past and may recur
    in future periods, they are driven by events (such as acquisitions) that
    occur sporadically and are not directly related to our ongoing core
    business operations.  Pro forma financial information is never intended to
