In discovery, Apple produced to plaintiffs confidential financial information
regarding direct sales in the United States of iPod products and music files from the iTunes Store. This information was designated "Confidential Attorneys Eyes Only" pursuant to the Amended Stipulation and Protective Order Regarding Confidential Information agreed to by the parties and entered by this Court on January 17, 2007. 3. Information about sales per region is not disclosed in Apple's Form 10-K filings
with the Securities Exchange Commission. Rather, Apple reports sales on a worldwide basis. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of excerpts from Apple's 10-K filings for fiscal years 2004, 2005 and 2006. The information produced to plaintiffs about direct sales of iPod products and music files from the iTunes Store in the United States is non-public financial information from a public company that should remain confidential. 4. Plaintiffs' expert Dr. John Pisarkiewicz relies on and quotes this confidential
information in his declaration in support of plaintiffs' motion for class certification (paragraphs 11, 12, 17 and 18) and Exhibit 3 thereto (Tables 3 and 4, Figures 1 and 2). Plaintiffs have now moved to file this declaration under seal, as required by paragraph 7(f) of the Amended Stipulation and Protective Order. Apple requests that the confidential non-public financial information be placed under seal.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of California and the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct of my personal knowledge. Executed this 5th day of February, 2007 at San Francisco, California. _____/s/ Tracy M. Strong____________________ Tracy M. Strong
