As previously reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended September
30, 2005, on July 1, 2005, InterDigital Communications Corporation (the Company)
and InterDigital Technology Company (ITC), one of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, filed a petition in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the Court) to confirm the Final Award in their
arbitration proceeding with Nokia Corporation (Nokia). In August 2005, Nokia
filed an Opposition to the Company's and ITC's Petition and a Cross-Petition and
Cross-Motion to vacate or modify the Final Award. The Court held oral arguments
on the foregoing matters on December 2, 2005. The judge presiding over the
proceeding reserved his decision until a future date.
