(1) Adjustments to revenue relate to acquisition-related revenue, which constitutes revenue reflected as pre-acquisition deferred revenue by Telerik that would otherwise have been recognized but for the purchase accounting treatment of the acquisition of Telerik. Since GAAP accounting requires the elimination of this revenue, GAAP results alone do not fully capture all of our economic activities. Note that acquisition-related revenue adjustments entirely relate to Progress' Application Development and Deployment business unit.

(2) Stock-based compensation is included in the GAAP statements of income, as follows:

(1) Adjustments to revenue relate to acquisition-related revenue, which constitutes revenue reflected as pre-acquisition deferred revenue by Telerik that would otherwise have been recognized but for the purchase accounting treatment of the acquisition of Telerik. Since GAAP accounting requires the elimination of this revenue, GAAP results alone do not fully capture all of our economic activities. Note that acquisition-related revenue adjustments entirely relate to Progress' Application Development and Deployment business unit.
(2) Stock-based compensation is included in the GAAP statements of income, as follows:
 
Cost of revenue 617 612
Sales and marketing 4,805 4,642
Product development 5,433 5,289
General and administrative 13,149   14,330  
Total $ 24,004   $ 24,873  
(3) Adjustment to other income (expense), net relates to the termination of Progress' prior revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the other lenders party to the credit facility in connection with entering into the new credit facility, which was used to partially fund the acquisition of Telerik. Upon termination, the outstanding debt issuance costs related to the prior revolving credit facility were written off to other income (expense) in the GAAP statements of income.
