We believe the inclusion of the above non-GAAP measure will be useful to
investors because it will enhance the comparability of our current period
results to prior periods' results without comparable charges. We also believe
inclusion of this measure will enhance comparability of our results to results
of our competitors and to the analysts' forecasts because the analysts
typically forecast excluding the effect of share-based payment charge and
above one time charges, the non-GAAP measure. In addition, our management
uses this measure to evaluate our operating performance and compare our
results to our competitors. Management also uses this measure as a metric to
measure performance under our executive compensation program.

The Company notes that non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Instead, they are based
on subjective determinations by management designed to supplement our GAAP
financial measures. They are subject to a number of important limitations and
should be considered only in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among the limitations on the use
of the non-GAAP measure are the following:

-- The exclusion of non-GAAP items can have a significant impact on
reported GAAP net income and diluted net income per share.

-- Other companies may calculate non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net
income per share differently than MICROS does, limiting the usefulness
of those measures for comparative purposes.
