The pro forma net loss for the quarter, excluding McAfee.com and non-cash interest expense, amortization expense, compensation charges related to employee stock options and a writedown of the company’s equity securities holdings, was $2.7 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share. On a consolidated basis, the second quarter net loss was $37 million, or $0.27 per share.
The company ended the quarter with cash and marketable securities totaling $650.6 million, an increase of $14 million over the prior quarter. The increase in cash and marketable securities was attributed to cost-saving initiatives and increased efficiencies. The company was cash flow positive for the quarter notwithstanding a $10.7 million payment to purchase shares held by third parties in its Japanese subsidiary.
