NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Stratus Technologies International, S.à r.l. (“Stratus S.à r.l.” or “the Company”) is a global provider of high-end computers and related services for mission-critical applications. When used in these notes, the terms “the Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Stratus Technologies International, S.à r.l. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified. Stratus S.à r.l. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stratus Technologies Group, S.A. (“Stratus SA” or the “Parent”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at February 29, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements, as restated, at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such information have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The Company operates on a 52-to-53 week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of February.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, collectibility of accounts receivable, carrying value of inventory, warranty provisions, revenue recognition using the percentage of completion method, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, embedded derivative valuation, valuation of deferred tax assets and restructuring and other charges. In addition, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense, associated with the issuance of the Parent’s stock options, is impacted by the fair market value determination of the Parent’s stock. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Recent pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Statement 123(R) does not prescribe the use of a specific option-pricing model, but does require companies to use specific input assumptions when estimating the fair value of employee stock options. Under Statement 123(R) the pro forma disclosure will no longer be available to companies as an alternative to financial statement recognition. Nonpublic companies, including Stratus S.à r.l., will be required to adopt the new Statement at the beginning of the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2005. As a non-public company, the Company intends to apply a prospective transaction method under Statement 123(R), continuing to account for any portion of awards that have not vested by the date that Statement 123(R) is adopted using accounting principles originally applied to these awards. Accordingly, under the prospective method Statement 123(R) would be applied only to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. The Company, which currently accounts for its stock-based compensation under APB 25 and discloses the pro forma effect of the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123, anticipates that the adoption of Statement 123(R) will not have an immediate material impact on its results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. Statement No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material and specifies the accounting for the allocation of fixed production overhead costs. Statement No. 151 is effective for the Company beginning March 1, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 151 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company sells its products and services to end users, resellers and original equipment manufacturers. The Company’s products are integrated with software that is essential to the functionality of the equipment. Accordingly, the Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and all related interpretations. The Company’s transactions frequently include the sale of products and services under multiple element arrangements.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or performance of the services has occurred, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. The Company uses the residual method to allocate revenue when a transaction includes one or more elements to be delivered and vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. VSOE is based on the fee charged when these elements are sold separately. If evidence of the fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, all revenue is deferred and recognized when delivery of the last element occurs or when fair value can be established. If an arrangement includes subjective or other customer acceptance provisions beyond standard acceptance provisions that the product conforms to standard published specifications, revenue recognition occurs upon the earlier of receipt of written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

Transactions may include trade-in rights, upgrade rights or other related provisions. Revenue recognition on transactions involving trade-in or upgrade rights is deferred until such rights have lapsed or original product has been returned and/or related products have been delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For coupons and specified future discounts, the related amount is deferred until such rights have lapsed or related products have been delivered.

If the fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payment is due from the customer, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Generally, the Company considers arrangements with extended payment terms not to be fixed or determinable. If collection is not considered probable, revenue is recognized upon receipt of cash. In certain regions or countries where collection risk is considered to be high, such as Latin America, and certain Asian and Eastern European countries, revenue is generally recognized only when full cash payment is received from the customer or when a formal letter of credit has been put in place.

Revenue for arrangements with resellers is generally recognized when the Company delivers product as designated by the reseller, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Delivery is generally directly to end users or to the reseller if the reseller is integrating the product into its offering or otherwise designates such. If the Company continues to participate in sales to the end user, revenue is deferred and recognized when product is sold through to the end user based on evidence provided by the reseller, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met (“Sell through”). On a limited basis, when the Company provides a reseller with stock rotation rights or any other return rights and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, revenue is deferred until the rights have lapsed.

Stratus records deferred revenue for product shipped to customers and related services where amounts are billed pursuant to a contractual right and collection occurs or is probable prior to satisfying revenue recognition criteria.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 – RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On August 19, 2004, Stratus S.a r.l. filed a Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), announcing that the Company had identified certain issues related to the timing of the recording of revenue from certain customer transactions which might affect the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and that the Company was working to conduct a detailed review of prior period revenue transactions. On October 7, 2004, the Company announced that it was postponing the release of financial results for the quarter ended August 29, 2004 pending the completion of the review of second quarter and prior period revenue transactions and the restatement of our historical financial results. On December 21, 2004, the Company furnished a Form 6-K to the SEC announcing financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005 and the results of the restatement.

The review initially focused on transactions that included sales of the new V-series ftServer^® product in conjunction with sales of Continuum products because the Company found instances where transactions with customers included both products or included rights to upgrade purchases of Continuum product through coupons, trade-ins or specified future purchases. In conducting the review, the Company discovered revenue recognition issues unrelated to the upgrade transactions and expanded the scope of the review to address such issues.

During the course of the review, the Company determined that the accounting with respect to certain prior period transactions required adjustment. As a result, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2000 through 2004, the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 including the quarterly results for fiscal 2004 and 2003 and for the three and nine months ended November 23, 2003. The Company expects to issue an amended and restated annual report for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2004, February 23, 2003 and February 24, 2002 during May of 2005. The restated financial statements include a number of adjustments, the largest of which relate to adjustments to revenue, cost of revenue, deferred revenue, inventory and accrued warranty expenses and the resulting impact of these adjustments on the tax accounts. Adjustments to revenue, unless specifically described below, result primarily from revenue that had been previously recognized upon delivery that is now being deferred and recognized in subsequent periods. Adjustments to inventory and accrued expenses are primarily to increase or decrease levels previously reported as a result of the deferral in revenue and to account for hardware maintenance as a service rather than a warranty cost, respectively.

In connection with the restatement, management has identified and reported to the audit committee significant internal control matters that collectively constitute “material weaknesses”. Please see “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” for a description of these and previously identified matters, certain of the corrective measures that already have been implemented during fiscal 2005 and additional steps management plans to take to strengthen controls.

The following discussion provides additional information regarding the restatement adjustments made to the third quarter and the nine months ended for fiscal year 2004.

Trade-ins and Upgrades

During fiscal 2004 and 2005, in conjunction with the planned migration from certain Continuum products to the ftServer V-series products, Stratus S.a r.l. offered various trade-in rights, upgrade rights, specified discounts and coupons to purchasers of Continuum products. These rights constitute elements of the arrangement that must be accounted for. Revenue recognition on transactions involving trade-in or upgrade rights has been deferred until such rights have lapsed or original product has been returned and related products have been delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For coupons and specified discounts, the related amount has been deferred until such rights have lapsed or related products have been delivered.

Deferred Maintenance

When Stratus S.a r.l. sells Continuum systems, the Company provides one year of free hardware warranty with the sale. If the customer elects to purchase a service option at the time of the Continuum sale, this free hardware warranty is provided through a service offering which includes our typical software and hardware maintenance, including 24/7 remote monitoring of the system, call center support and advance parts exchange for failed parts. The Company has historically accounted for this as a warranty item with a related warranty accrual charged to cost of revenue. Since what was actually provided is more than a standard warranty would cover, the Company has determined that this should be accounted for as a separate element of revenue. As a result, the Company has reversed all previously recorded warranty expense and has deferred a portion of all Continuum product revenue transactions based on the fair value of the software and hardware maintenance. This deferred revenue has been recognized as service revenue ratably over the maintenance period, which is typically one year.

The Company also identified a transaction in which an amount less than fair value based on VSOE was allocated to maintenance. In this case, the Company has reclassified additional amounts from product revenue to service revenue for the applicable periods presented and recognized such revenue ratably over the service period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Transfer of Title and Risk of Loss at Japan Subsidiary

The Company has identified certain transactions where title did not transfer until the customer had received and accepted the products. Accordingly, revenue for these transactions has been deferred until title has passed. The Company also identified several instances where product was delivered to resellers in Japan but the Company arranged for temporary warehousing for the product after its arrival in Japan. In these instances, risk of loss had not passed to the customer. Accordingly, the Company has delayed the recognition of revenue for these transactions until shipment from the warehouse to the reseller, or the reseller’s end-user, provided all other revenue recognition had been met.

Transactions involving these issues were confined to the Japan subsidiary.

Contract Accounting

The Company has identified certain transactions where it provided product and services to the customer where the services were essential to the functionality of the product but revenue was recognized on the product and the services separately. In such cases the Company restated related product and services revenue and recognized the entire arrangement on a percentage of completion basis as the services were performed or in the case of one transaction where records did not exist due to the age of the transaction to reliably measure the percentage of completion, upon completion the arrangement.

Reseller Transactions

The Company has identified certain reseller transactions conducted through international subsidiaries, where the Company has determined that collectibility was not probable at the time of the sale. Such transactions have been restated and recognized on a cash basis.

The Company has also identified certain transactions pertaining to a single reseller in the UK where product was sold to and retained by the reseller, the reseller had stock rotation and other return rights, and revenue was recognized upon delivery to this reseller with an allowance for estimated returns. The Company has determined that it did not meet the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Rights of Return Exists, to allow for recognition of revenue upon delivery to the reseller because the Company continued to participate in the sales from the reseller to end users and, accordingly, has delayed revenue recognition for these transactions until the product was delivered to end users. The Company’s relationship with this reseller was formally terminated in Q2 of fiscal 2004. At the time of the termination, the amount of product sold to this reseller that had not been sold through to an end user was recognized based on management’s assessment that the reseller no longer had any rights of return and that the reseller had paid for the products in full and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met.

In addition, certain transactions conducted through the Company’s subsidiary in France were noted to include return rights if product was not sold through to end-users. Revenue recognition on affected transactions was delayed until expiration of the related return right and all other revenue recognition criteria had been met.

During our review, the Company found no other instances where resellers had stock rotation or other similar return rights.

Undelivered Elements

The Company identified certain transactions where product was delivered over multiple periods. These transactions involved multiple product families or different configurations of similar products. The Company does not have VSOE of fair value for its products. Accordingly, the Company has deferred revenue recognition for these transactions until all products ordered were delivered, provided all other revenue recognition criteria were met.

Other Adjustments

Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue has been adjusted as required for the product deferrals as described above. Cost of Revenue has also been adjusted for the reversal of the warranty accrual as described in Deferred Maintenance above.

Cash Flows

The restatement has no impact on cash balances and no impact on cash flows from investing or financing activities. There are resulting changes to the captions within the net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVES

On September 3, 2004, Stratus Inc. consummated an exchange offer, in which the Old Notes (see note 11) were exchanged for new 10.375% Senior Notes (the “New Notes”). Upon the effective date of the registration of the New Notes on September 3, 2004 pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, certain redemption and change of control features are considered embedded derivatives and the value of which have been included in non-current other liabilities. The redemption and change of control features considered embedded derivatives are:

•

the Issuer’s right to redeem (“Call”) the New Notes; at a specified price prior to December 1, 2006 in the event of an Initial Public Offering;

•

the Issuer’s right to redeem (“Call”) the New Notes at a specified price prior to December 1, 2006 in the event of a change in control and,;

•

the right of the holder of the New Notes to sell back (“Put”) the New Notes to the Company at a specified price until December 1, 2008 in the event of a change in control.

At the time of the effective date of registration of the New Notes, the fair value of these features was $7,578, which was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the New Notes. A liability of $7,578 was also established at the time of registration of the New Notes associated with these features. Changes in the fair value of these features are recorded through interest expense.

The following table summarizes the impact of these features on the earnings of the Company for the periods presented:


	Three months ended				Nine Months Ended

NOTE 6 – STOCK PLANS

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation granted to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Parent’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price. The fair value of options granted to employees is disclosed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure an Amendment of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”).

The exercise price of all options to be granted under the Plan is authorized on an annual, or as-needed, basis by the Board of Directors. Such exercise price cannot be less than the nominal value of the underlying ordinary stock of $1.50 per share. The exercise price of all options granted during the nine months ended November 28, 2004 and November 23, 2003 was $1.50 per share. As the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares for the nine months ended November 28, 2004 as determined by an independent valuation analysis completed in connection with the 2004 Recapitalization was $1.16, the Board-authorized exercise price for that period represented a premium on the underlying shares. Accordingly, the weighted average fair value of such options was $0.

The Company did not grant any options during the nine months ended November 28, 2004 or November 23, 2003 with an exercise price below fair market value on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value of options granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Parent’s ordinary stock on the date of grant for the nine months ended November 23, 2003 was $0.14 per share.

net income (loss) for future periods due to such factors as the potential accelerated vesting period of the stock options and the potential for future issuance of additional stock options.

NOTE 7 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the effect of any dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company had no dilutive potential ordinary shares during the nine months ended November 28, 2004 and November 23, 2003.

NOTE 8 – WARRANTY

The Company warrants that its products will perform in all material respects in accordance with the Company’s standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the products to the customer. The Company offers product warranties ranging from 30 days to 1 year. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, whether the units are covered by service contracts, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability, which is included in accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended November 28, 2004

NOTE 9 – RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER CHARGES

As a result of unfavorable global economic conditions and reductions in information technology spending around the world, the Company implemented restructuring programs to reduce expenses to align its operations and cost structure with market conditions in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The following tables summarize the activity related to the restructuring liability during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively:

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate of 26.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was higher than the statutory rate primarily as a result of reducing the estimated tax reserve, offset by realizing taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions and not benefiting from taxable losses realized in the U.S. and certain other foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 2,506.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2004 was significantly higher than the statutory rate primarily as a result of realizing taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions, not benefiting from taxable losses realized in the U.S. and certain other foreign jurisdictions and providing a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets due to uncertainty with respect to realization.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. In the nine months ended November 28, 2004 we reduced the tax reserve by $0.8 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations to audit specific tax years.

On November 18, 2003, Stratus Technologies, Inc. (“Stratus Inc.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware, issued in a private placement $170,000 principal amount of 10.375% Senior Notes with a maturity of December 1, 2008 (the “Old Notes”). Also on November 18, 2003, the Company entered into a $30,000 collateralized revolving credit facility with a maturity date of November 19, 2007 (the “New Credit Facility”). On September 3, 2004, Stratus Inc. consummated an exchange offer, in which the Old Notes were exchanged for new 10.375% Senior Notes (the “New Notes”). The terms of the New Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes, except that transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the Old Notes do not apply.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

term of the New Credit Facility. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-14 “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements”, the New Credit Facility is considered a refinancing of the Former Revolving Credit Facility, therefore, the remaining deferred financing fees of $507 related to the Former Revolving Credit Facility will be amortized over the life of the New Credit Facility.

The Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2003, between Stratus Technologies, Inc. and the guarantors party thereto, on the one hand, and Goldman, Sachs & Co., JPMorgan Securities, Inc. and Fleet Securities, Inc. on the other, states that if the Company’s registration statement on Form F-4 was not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission by June 15, 2004, then the Company would be required to make special interest payments to the note holders as “liquidated damages”. Because such registration statement was not declared effective until July 6, 2004, the Company was required to pay and did pay the note holders special interest in the amount of $26 on December 1, 2004 (the next scheduled interest payment date). Further, because Stratus Inc. did not consummate its exchange offer within thirty business days of the effective date of the registration statement on Form F-4 (as required by the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement), the Company was required to make and did make an additional special interest payment in the amount of $21 to the note holders on December 1, 2004.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantor arrangements

The Company’s standard sales contracts and agreements contain infringement indemnification provisions. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party (generally business partners or customers) in connection with certain patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims in the countries in which the Company operates by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification provisions is generally perpetual effective at the time of the sale of the product. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements and management is not aware of any pending, threatened or unasserted claims regarding these agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of November 28, 2004 and February 29, 2004, respectively.

As permitted under Luxembourg and Delaware law, the Company is permitted and has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The aggregate limit on this insurance policy is $20,000. As a result of this insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification arrangements is minimal. All of these indemnification arrangements were grandfathered under the provisions of FIN 45 as they were in effect prior to December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of November 28, 2004 and February 29, 2004, respectively.

Certain of the Parent’s subsidiaries entered into an indemnity agreement with Platinum Equity, LLP (“Platinum”) as part of the purchase of Cemprus LLC (“Cemprus”). Under the indemnity agreement, the subsidiaries agree to indemnify Platinum against certain claims arising after our purchase of Cemprus. The indemnification obligations are limited to claims respecting certain obligations of Platinum under its Cemprus acquisition agreement with Lucent Technologies, Inc., certain related Platinum guarantees associated with that transaction and a certain letter agreement with Hewlett-Packard for certain product and license agreements between Cemprus and Hewlett-Packard. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these agreements and management is not aware of any pending, threatened or unasserted claims regarding these agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded for these agreements as of November 28, 2004 and February 29, 2004, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16 – CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On September 3, 2004, Stratus Inc. consummated an exchange offer, in which its Old Notes (see note 11) were exchanged for New Notes. The New Notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of Stratus Inc. that are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Stratus S.à r.l. and seven of its wholly-owned (except for shares owned by local entities to comply with the minimum requirements of local law) subsidiaries: Stratus Equity S.à r.l., SRA Technologies Cyprus Limited., Stratus Technologies Bermuda Limited., Stratus Technologies Ireland Limited, Stratus Research & Development Ltd., Cemprus Technologies, Inc., and Cemprus, LLC (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, could limit Stratus Inc.’s ability to obtain cash for the purpose of meeting the debt service obligations, including payment of principal and interest on the New Notes. The holders of the New Notes are direct creditors of Stratus Inc., the Company and the Company’s principal direct subsidiaries by virtue of the guarantees. The Company has indirect subsidiaries located primarily in Europe and Asia (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) that are not included among the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and such subsidiaries are not obligated with respect to the New Notes. As a result, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such companies over the claims of creditors of the Company, including the holders of the New Notes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The terms “the Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Stratus Technologies International, S.à r.l. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified.

The following discussion and analysis by management of our operating and financial results should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth below. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial information discussed below have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Immaterial differences between numbers contained in the tables and in our unaudited financial statements are due to rounding.

Statements contained in this section which are not historical statements constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally, the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “project”, “seek”, “continue”, “will”, “may”, “could” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. You are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•

the continued acceptance of our products by the market;

•

our ability to enter into new service agreements and to retain customers under existing service contracts;

•

our ability to source quality components and key technologies without interruption and at acceptable prices;

•

our reliance on sole source manufacturers and suppliers;

•

the presence of existing competitors and the emergence of new competitors;

•

our financial condition and liquidity and our leverage and debt service obligations;

•

economic conditions globally and in our most important markets;

•

developments in the fault-tolerant and high-availability server markets;

•

claims by third parties that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights;

•

our success in adequately protecting our intellectual property rights;

•

our success in maintaining efficient manufacturing and logistics operations;

•

our ability to recruit, retain and develop appropriately skilled employees;

•

exposure for systems and service failures;

•

fluctuations in exchange rates;

•

current risks of terrorist activity and acts of war; and

•

the impact of changes in policies, laws, regulations or practices of foreign governments on our international operations.

Current information in this quarterly report has been updated to November 28, 2004, and Stratus undertakes no duty to further update this information. All other information contained herein is presented as of the specific date noted and has not been updated since that time.

The foregoing list of important factors is not all-inclusive.

Overview

We are a global provider of computer servers, technologies and services focused in the fault-tolerant server market. Our customers, who include some of the most recognizable companies in the world, purchase Stratus servers and support services for their critical computer-based operations that are required to be continuously available for the proper functioning of their businesses. With our latest server line introduced in June 2001, we are broadening our customer base considerably in the high-availability server market, which is expected to grow rapidly, by offering the superior performance of continuous availability combined with operational simplicity at cost-effective prices.

We currently provide two lines of fault-tolerant servers, the Continuum^® system family and the ftServer^® system family, each of which is supported by a technologically advanced worldwide service offering.

•

Product revenue consists primarily of revenue generated from the sale of our servers, which include our proprietary and other operating systems. Product revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 increased by 17.7% to $85.6 million from

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

$72.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. Included in this increase was $2.9 million related to favorable foreign exchange rate movement. Although we are seeing signs of growth in our business, the economic outlook is still uncertain. We believe that technology spending by large companies has been improving, however, we cannot predict for how long, and to what extent, the improvement in the market for technology spending will continue. When the market does improve significantly, we cannot predict the extent to which the demand for our servers will increase. We expect our future product revenue growth largely to derive from sales of ftServer systems, which support the Microsoft Windows^® operating system, Linux operating system and our own proprietary VOS^® operating system. In the first half of fiscal 2005 we introduced the ftServer T-Series, which is our fault tolerant server for the telecommunications market and uses Linux as the operating system. In addition, we plan to continue to generate product sales from our installed base by providing our customers with the opportunity to migrate from our Continuum system by porting our proprietary VOS operating system to the ftServer V-Series. The V-Series was made available for sale during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This important milestone will enable our Continuum system customers to leverage their investments in their applications written on VOS and continue to achieve performance improvements as their businesses grow by migrating to the ftServer V-Series system, thereby extending the longevity of our Continuum system customer base. We also intend to leverage our current installed base through add-on sales and upgrades of the current Continuum platform.

•

Service revenue consists of revenue primarily generated from our customer support activities, which consist of maintenance contracts for which revenue typically is recognized ratably over the contractual period, one-time services such as part repair, time and materials activities, installation, education and professional consulting services. Service revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 increased by 3.2% to $119.6 million from $115.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2004. Included in this increase was $4.5 million related to favorable foreign exchange rate movement.

The table set forth below shows our consolidated revenue for each of our product lines and our service offering:

Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statement

The Company furnished a Form 6-K to the SEC on March 15, 2005 issuing the results for the second quarter and six months ended August 29, 2004, including restating the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2005 and the restated results for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2004 and the six months ended August 24, 2003. The review initially focused on transactions that included sales of the new V-series ftServer in conjunction with sales of Continuum products because the Company found instances where transactions with customers included both products or included rights to upgrade purchases of Continuum product through coupons, trade-ins or specified future purchases. In conducting the review, the Company discovered revenue recognition issues unrelated to the upgrade transactions and expanded the scope of the review to address such issues.

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

The following discussion provides additional information regarding the restatement adjustments made to the third quarter and the nine months ended for fiscal year 2004.

Trade-ins and Upgrades

During fiscal 2004 and 2005, in conjunction with the planned migration from certain Continuum products to the ftServer V-series products, Stratus S. a r. l. offered various trade-in rights, upgrade rights, specified discounts and coupons to purchasers of Continuum products. These rights constitute elements of the arrangement that must be accounted for. Revenue recognition on transactions involving trade-in or upgrade rights has been deferred until such rights have lapsed or original product has been returned and related products have been delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For coupons and specified discounts, the related amount has been deferred until such rights have lapsed or related products have been delivered.

Cash Flows

2004 Recapitalization

On November 18, 2003, Stratus Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware, issued in a private placement $170,000 principal amount of 10.375% Senior Notes with a maturity of December 1, 2008 (the “Senior Notes”). Also on November 18, 2003, the Company entered into a $30,000 collateralized revolving credit facility maturing on November 19, 2007 (the “New Credit Facility”). On September 3, 2004, Stratus Inc. consummated an exchange offer, in which the Old Notes were exchanged for new 10.375% Senior Notes.

As of November 28, 2004, the Company has capitalized $10,613 in deferred financing fees. Of this amount $9,533 will be recorded as interest expense over the 5-year term of the Senior Notes and $1,080 will be recorded as interest expense over the 4-year term of the New Credit Facility. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-14 “Debtor’s Accounting for Changes in Line-of-Credit or Revolving-Debt Arrangements”, the New Credit Facility is considered a refinancing of the Former Revolving Credit Facility, therefore, the remaining deferred financing fees of $507 related to the Former Revolving Credit Facility will be amortized over the life of the New Credit Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following are some of the more critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company sells its products and services to end users, resellers, and original equipment manufacturers. The Company’s products are integrated with software that is essential to the functionality of the equipment. Accordingly, the Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” and all related interpretations. The Company’s transactions frequently include the sale of products and services under multiple element arrangements.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or performance of the services has occurred, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. The Company uses the residual method to allocate revenue when a transaction includes one or more elements to be delivered and vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of all undelivered elements exists. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue. VSOE is based on the fee charged when these elements are sold separately. If evidence of the fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, all revenue is deferred and recognized when delivery of all elements occurs or when fair value can be established. Arrangements with customers generally include standard acceptance provisions that provide the customer with typically ten to fifteen days to notify the Company that delivered product does not conform to our standard published specifications. Customers may not cancel orders due to non-acceptance. Arrangements do not generally include subjective or other provisions involving acceptance over and above the published specifications. If a customer arrangement includes such an acceptance provision, revenue recognition occurs upon the earlier of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

Transactions may include trade-in rights, upgrade rights or other related provisions. Revenue recognition on transactions involving trade-in or upgrade rights is deferred until such rights have lapsed or original product has been returned and/correlated products have been delivered and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For coupons and specified future discounts, the related amount is deferred until such rights have lapsed or related products have been delivered.

When product is sold together with services, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, provided that (1) the above criteria have been met, (2) payment for product is not dependent upon the performance of the services, and (3) the services do not involve significant customization, implementation, or integration of the product and are not essential to the functionality of the product that was delivered. If services involve significant customization, implementation or integration, revenue for the services and the related product is generally recognized as the services are performed using the percentage of completion method. Estimates of total labor hours required to perform the related services and actual labor hours pertaining to the related services incurred during a period and to date are used in applying the percentage of completion method. If customer acceptance is uncertain at the outset of the arrangement, revenue for services and the related product is recognized under the completed contract method. Significant judgment is required to determine whether customer acceptance is uncertain at the outset of the arrangement. The Company considers the following factors in making this determination: the Company’s history with similar arrangements, the Company’s history with the customer, the level of risk involved in integrating the product into the customer’s IT environment, the customers participation in the endeavor, and the economic penalty the customer could face if it did not accept the product and payment terms.

If the fee due from the customer is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payment is due from the customer, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses whether the fee associated with the revenue transaction is fixed or determinable and whether or not collection is probable. The fee is considered fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the normal payment terms, which are usually 30 to 90 days from invoice date, depending upon the region, the fee is generally deemed not being fixed or determinable. In these cases, revenue is recognized as the fees become due. Collection is assessed based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from its customers. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not probable, associated revenue is deferred and recognized upon receipt of cash. In certain regions or countries where collection risk is considered to be high, such as Latin America, and certain

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

Asian and Eastern European countries, revenue is generally recognized only when full cash payment is received from the customer or when a formal letter of credit has been put in place.

Revenue for arrangements with resellers is generally recognized when the Company delivers product as designated by the reseller and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Delivery is generally directly to end users or to the reseller if the reseller is integrating the product into its offering or otherwise designates such. If the Company continues to participate in sales to the end user, revenue is deferred and recognized when product is sold through to the end user based on evidence provided by the reseller provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met (“sell through”). This is typically the case in Europe and, accordingly, transactions with resellers in Europe are recognized upon sell through. This is not the case in Japan where the Company deals exclusively with the reseller and has no involvement with the end user. Sales with resellers in other geographies are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In Japan the reseller may from time to time order product and request that Stratus hold the product pending final delivery instructions. In these instances the Company maintains risk of loss while the product is being held and revenue is deferred until delivery is made to the reseller or the end user as instructed. Additionally, in some reseller transactions in Japan title does not pass until product acceptance by the customer; accordingly revenue recognition for these transactions is delayed until evidence of product acceptance is received. On a limited basis when the Company provides a reseller with stock rotation rights or any other return rights, revenue is deferred until the rights have lapsed.

Maintenance and support services are recognized ratably over the life of the maintenance and support service period, which typically is one year. Maintenance and support services include telephone support and unspecified rights to product upgrades and enhancements. VSOE for maintenance and support services is determined at the customer level based on the price charged for subsequent year renewals. Installation and other consulting service revenues are recognized when performed. VSOE for installation and other consulting services is based on the price charged when similar services are sold separately.

In the absence of a master purchasing agreement or signed contract, the Company uses either a purchase order or purchase order equivalent as evidence of an arrangement. Sales to resellers are usually evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with purchase orders on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Sales to OEM’s are usually evidenced by a master agreement governing the relationship together with a shipping report on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

The majority of our sales transactions are completed using standard terms and conditions; however, there are agreements that contain non-standard terms and conditions. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangements should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and if so, how the price should be allocated among the deliverable elements and when to recognize the revenue for each element. Changes in the allocation of the sales price between deliverable elements might impact the timing of revenue recognition, but would not change the total revenue recognized for the transaction.

Inventory-Related Provisions

We state our inventories at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. We periodically review our inventory for obsolescence and decline in market value below cost and write-down our inventory for any such declines. We consider recent historic usage and future demand in estimating the realizable value of our inventory. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory, which would be included in cost of revenue for the period in which the revision is identified. As we continue to migrate our server offerings to industry standard components we may need to revise the estimated useful life of certain component parts.

Warranty Provisions

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Our products are covered by product warranty plans of varying periods, ranging from 30 days to 1 year. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of products delivered by our third-party manufacturers, our warranty obligations are affected by actual product failure rates (field failure rates) and by material usage incurred in correcting a product failure. Our warranty provision is established using 12-month historical data to estimate the amount necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. While we believe that our warranty provisions are adequate and that the judgments applied are appropriate, such amounts estimated to be due and payable could differ materially from what will actually transpire in the future. Should actual costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill

We assess the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following:

•

significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future results;

•

significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and

•

significant negative industry or economic trends.

When we determine that the carrying value of intangible assets, long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we review and measure any impairment based on the fair value of the asset. Fair value is primarily determined using a discounted cash flow methodology and confirmed by market comparables. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, such amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future.

Deferred Taxes

We currently have significant deferred tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards, and deductible temporary differences, which may reduce taxable income in future periods. Based on our review of several significant developments (including cumulative losses, uncertainty and lack of visibility in the technology market as a whole) we have determined that a valuation allowance is required since it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. We have not provided a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions due to their historical and projected profitability. As of November 28, 2004 and February 29, 2004, our net deferred tax assets were approximately $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, net of total valuation allowances of $21.1 million on November 28, 2004 and February 29, 2004.

Business Restructuring

During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, we recorded significant charges in connection with the 2004 Restructuring Program, the 2003 Restructuring Program and the 2002 Restructuring Program. The related reserves reflect many estimates, including those related to termination benefits and settlements of contractual obligations. We review the reserve requirements to complete each restructuring periodically throughout the year. Actual experience has been and may continue to be different from these estimates.

Stock Plans

The Company’s capitalization includes authorization for the issuance of stock options for the purchase of shares of the Parent’s ordinary stock to employees, management, directors, or consultants of its direct and indirect subsidiaries under the Stratus Technologies, Inc. (“Stratus Inc.”) Stock Incentive Plan. Stratus Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation granted to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Parent’s stock at the date of grant over the exercise price. The fair value of options granted to employees is disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company records stock-based compensation issued to non-employees using the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

Our stock option program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Our 1999 Stratus Technologies, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, is the plan under which our options are granted. This plan provides broad discretion to our board of directors to create appropriate equity incentives for our employees as well as members of our board of directors. Substantially all of our employees participate in our stock option program. In addition, many employees terminated under the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Restructuring Programs retained the vested portion of their stock option awards, for a period not to exceed the contractual expiration of the options.

STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, S.à r.l.

As our Parent’s stock is not listed on an exchange, the determination of fair market value is based on management’s assessment and approved by Stratus SA’s Board of Directors. Management’s assessment utilizes a number of common valuation techniques. The accounting for the Company’s stock option program and related stock-based compensation charges is impacted by this fair market value determination. The statutory minimum value for the purchase of Stratus SA’s shares, in compliance with Luxembourg requirements for “societes anonymes” (SA) companies, is U.S. $1.50 per share.

Embedded derivatives

The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, the Company’s Senior Notes due December 1, 2008 (the Senior Notes) contain embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the Senior Notes. The Company recognizes the derivatives as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measures the derivatives at their estimated fair value, which is determined by a third party valuation. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are recorded through interest expense in the period of change. The initial bifurcation of the embedded derivatives from the Senior Notes, at their effective date, resulted in a difference between the estimated fair value and the face value of the Senior Notes. This difference is recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. Valuing the embedded derivatives involves significant estimates and judgments, including assessing the likelihood of an Initial Public Offering or a Change in Control of the Company. The valuation is also significantly impacted by the price at which our Senior Notes are trading. Accordingly, changes in assumptions or volatility in the price that our bonds trade at could have a material impact on the value of the derivatives and the income statement.

Results of Operations

The most important drivers of our results of operations are the successful acceptance of our product lines in the intensely competitive high-availability server market, our focus on distribution of our ftServer system products through third-party channels and resellers within key targeted industry segments and our ability to meet the rapidly changing demands of our customers through continued evolution of our product offerings. We believe that the combined strategy of launching our ftServer systems in fiscal 2002 and our commitment to maintaining the longevity of our Continuum systems, both in the field and the associated customer service bases, has enhanced our ability to be competitive in this ever-changing market. We plan to continue to focus on our value proposition of providing the highest levels of continuous availability, operational simplicity and compelling financial advantage versus the alternatives of our competitors.

We face a variety of challenges in remaining competitive in the high-availability server market. Customers are focused on availability of their applications to keep their businesses up and running cost-effectively. We look to solve that problem for them by ensuring that we remain current with the latest versions of Intel processors, and keep up with shorter lifecycles and rapid deployment of solutions in the market. Our ability to recognize the changing demands of our customers and to react to those demands by choosing the appropriate research and development course and distribution and pricing strategies continues to be essential to our results of operations. In response to these changing demands, we have renewed our efforts to keep our product roadmap current and to develop and introduce differentiated continuously available product offerings that we believe are attractive and competitive in the high-availability server market. Our ftServer V-Series system achieved technological feasibility in April of fiscal 2005 and was made available for sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This important milestone in our efforts to port the VOS operating system to the Intel based ftServer system platform will enable our Continuum system customers to leverage their investments in their applications written on VOS and continue to achieve performance improvements as their businesses grow by migrating to the ftServer V-Series system, thereby extending the longevity of our Continuum system customer base.

Total revenue for the three months ended November 28, 2004 of $68.2 million increased by $8.8 million or 14.8% in comparison to the same period in fiscal 2004.

Total revenue	$	68.2	$	59.4	$	8.8	14.8	%

Product Revenue

Product revenue for the three months ended November 28, 2004 increased by 39.4% to $28.3 million from $20.3 million for the second three months of fiscal 2004. Included in this increase was $0.9 million related to favorable foreign exchange rate movement.

This increase was attributable to increases in sales of our Continuum and ftServer product lines. The increase in Continuum product revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 in comparison to the same period last year can be attributed to some large transactions closing in the current quarter, resulting in a 67.3% increase to $16.9 million from $10.1 million in Continuum revenue. We had five Continuum customers during quarter that made purchases over $1 million, making up almost 50% of the Continuum revenue in the quarter. Our Continuum products are now sold exclusively into our installed customer base. Given this limited market potential, we expect the revenue from our Continuum product line to decline over time. Despite a decrease of ftServer unit sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 of 11.7% in comparison to the same period last year, revenue increased to $11.4 million from $10.2 million, or 11.8%. The increase in ftServer revenue is primarily related to the sales of our V-Series system. The V-Series system, which became generally available for sale in August of fiscal 2005, resulted in $2.5 million, or 21.9%, of ftServer revenue during the period.

Service Revenue

Service revenue for the three months ended November 28, 2004 increased by 2.0% to $39.9 million from $39.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily due to a favorable impact of foreign exchange rate movement of $1.3 million, increased revenue from sales of service relating to ftServer systems of $1.6 million, and a $0.1 million increase in our professional service business. These increases were offset by a $2.2 million reduction in service revenue as a result of net erosion in the Continuum system customer base. Over time, we expect the mix of our service revenues to transition, with the Continuum service revenue decreasing and the ftServer service revenue increasing.
