| About Adjusted EBITDA | ||||||||||||
| From time to time, we may refer to Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Based Compensation) | ||||||||||||
| in our conference calls and discussions with analysts in connection with our reported historical financial results. Adjusted EBITDA does not | ||||||||||||
| represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is not derived in accordance with GAAP | ||||||||||||
| and should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income (the most comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA). | ||||||||||||
| The reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are included in the | ||||||||||||
| above table. Management of the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful as an indicator of the current financial performance of the | ||||||||||||
| Company and its capacity to operationally fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Due to the nature of the Company's | ||||||||||||
| internally-developed software policies and the Company's use of stock-based compensation, the Company incurs significant non-cash charges for | ||||||||||||
| depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. | ||||||||||||
| Therefore, the Company believes that using the measure of Adjusted EBITDA will help provide a better understanding of the Company's underlying | ||||||||||||
| financial performance and ability to generate cash flows from operations. | ||||||||||||
