Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
     Non-GAAP net income excludes the effects of acquisition charges (amortization of intangible assets) and the non-GAAP numbers for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 also excludes the effects of compensation expense from employee stock options under FAS 123(R). Non-GAAP net income is provided to enhance the overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding specific expenses that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. In addition, since we have historically reported non-GAAP results to the investment community, we believe the inclusion of non-GAAP numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting. Further, these adjusted non-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See the “Non-GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations” table for a reconciliation of net income to non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP information as presented in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
