(a) These adjustments reconcile the company's GAAP results of
 operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The company
 believes that presentation of results excluding items such as non-
 cash compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets,
 restructuring charges, and non-cash income tax expense provides
 meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors
 that is indicative of the company's core operating results and
 facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
 The company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its
 financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting
 purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a
 substitute for the company's GAAP results.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non-cash stock based compensation
 expense for restricted grants, stock bonuses, and stock options
 awarded to the company's employees.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the company's GAAP results of
 operations to its non-GAAP results of operations. The company
 believes that presentation of results excluding items such as non-
 cash compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets,
 restructuring charges, and non-cash income tax expense provides
 meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors
 that is indicative of the company's core operating results and
 facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
 The company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its
 financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting
 purposes. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a
 substitute for the company's GAAP results.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non-cash stock based compensation
 expense for restricted grants, stock bonuses, and stock options
 awarded to the company's employees.
