Of course there is the possiblity of extra $$ being added to that stated in the guidance. But that is more likely due to new events that are unforeseen by the time the guidance is given, such as new licenses and royalty auditing activities. Just not for RIM, which was done more than 2 months before the guidance.

The date of the guidance and the date of the IDCC 10k was the same 2/28/08...IMO:Some new Licensees had yet to report in..and no reference to general revenue.

First Quarter 2008 Outlook

Scott McQuilkin, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In first quarter 2008, we expect to report recurring revenues from existing agreements in the range of $53 million to $55 million, a solid increase over fourth quarter 2007 levels reflecting improved sales from our licensees and the contribution from our new Asian semiconductor customer. This range does not include any potential impact from additional new agreements that may be signed during first quarter 2008 or additional royalties identified in audits regularly conducted by the company.




The guidance, as i recall, usually has a clause in it which allows for other revenues that hasn't yet been received when guidance is given to be added in. So there is the possiblity of extra $$ being added to that stated in the guidance.
