After some consensual reconfigurations proposed by the various parties, in January 2005, the district court judge entered Docket
Control and Discovery Orders in the three lawsuits. The PC Makers case now involves four separate patents and is currently scheduled
for trial beginning on September 11, 2006. The Game Console Case involves a single patent and is currently scheduled for trial
beginning on December 4, 2006. We believe that, to the extent AVG's infringement allegations target functionality that may be
performed by NVIDIA products, those claims are without merit, and we will continue to defend ourselves and our products
vigorously.
We are subject to other legal proceedings, but we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any of these proceedings will have a
material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, if an unfavorable ruling were to
occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations of that period.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.
