    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.
