Under the terms of the definitive agreements, the purchase consideration for the acquisitions in fiscal 2005 consisted of cash and shares
of Cisco common stock and stock options assumed. The purchase consideration for the Company’s acquisitions is also allocated to
tangible assets and deferred stock-based compensation. Deferred stock-based compensation represents the intrinsic value of the
unvested portion of any restricted shares exchanged, options assumed, or options canceled and replaced with the Company’s options
and is amortized as stock-based compensation related to acquisitions over the remaining respective vesting periods. The balance for
deferred stock-based compensation is reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Statements of
Shareholders’ Equity. The following table presents the activity of deferred stock-based compensation (in millions):

In connection with the asset purchase of NetSift, Inc., the Company may be required to pay certain additional amounts of up to $5
million contingent upon achieving certain agreed-upon technology and other milestones. In addition, in connection with the acquisition
of Sipura Technology, Inc., the Company may be required to pay an additional amount of $50 million over a four-year period
contingent upon continued employment of certain employees with the Company. In each case, any additional amounts paid will be
recorded as compensation expense.
The Company’s methodology for allocating the purchase price for purchase acquisitions to in-process research and development
(“in-process R&D”) is determined through established valuation techniques in the high-technology communications equipment industry.
In-process R&D is expensed upon acquisition because technological feasibility has not been established and no future alternative uses exist.
Total in-process R&D expense in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $26 million, $3 million, and $4 million, respectively.
