For Q1 2004, the adjustments will increase revenue by $2.5 million, reduce expenses by $0.2 million, increase net income by $2 million and increase diluted earnings per share by $0.01. The revenue adjustment is being made to properly reflect revenue on a limited number of products identified by McAfee in the context of its recent review of revenue recognition procedures.
