SUMMARY RECONCILIATION OF DILUTED SHARES
 
GAAP 232,812 244,161 240,236 245,253
Adjustments for share-based compensation 358 (80 ) 271 (54 )
Offsetting shares from call option (4,341 ) -   (2,088 ) -

(1)   To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses, gains and losses. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors as these non-GAAP results exclude certain expenses, gains and losses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results and because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow us. For example, because the non-GAAP results exclude the expenses we recorded for share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets related to acquisitions of Matrix Semiconductor, Inc. in January 2006, Pliant Technology, Inc. in May 2011, FlashSoft Corporation in February 2012, Schooner Information Technology, Inc. in June 2012 and SMART Storage Systems in August 2013, impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible debt and related tax adjustments, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. In addition, our non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact of the call option which, when exercised, will offset the issuance of dilutive shares from the 1.5% Sr. Convertible Notes due 2017, while the GAAP diluted shares exclude the anti-dilutive impact of this call option. These non-GAAP results are some of the primary indicators management uses for assessing our performance, allocating resources and planning and forecasting future periods. Further, management uses non-GAAP information that excludes certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation, non-cash economic interest expense associated with the convertible debt and related tax adjustments, as these non-GAAP charges do not reflect the cash operating results of the business or the ongoing results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
 
(a) Share-based compensation expense.
 
(b) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, primarily core technology, developed technology, customer relationships and trademarks related to the acquisitions of Matrix Semiconductor, Inc. (January 2006), Pliant Technology, Inc. (May 2011), FlashSoft Corporation (February 2012), Schooner Information Technology, Inc. (June 2012) and SMART Storage Systems (August 2013).
 
(c) Impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and in-process research and development related to the Schooner Information Technology, Inc. and Pliant Technology, Inc. acquisitions.
 
(d) Incremental interest expense relating to the non-cash economic interest expense associated with the 1% Sr. Convertible Notes due 2013, 1.5% Sr. Convertible Notes due 2017, and 0.5% Sr. Convertible Notes due 2020.
 
(e) Income taxes associated with certain non-GAAP to GAAP adjustments.
 
(f) Non-GAAP diluted shares include the impact of offsetting shares from the call option related to the 1.5% Sr. Convertible Notes due 2017 and the impact of share-based compensation.
