The Company's statement regarding its adjusted EBITDA percentage target is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most comparable GAAP measurement is net income, which is not currently accessible on a forward-looking basis. Adjusted EBITDA reflects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock compensation expenses and other non-operating income and expense items. These items, which are required to determine GAAP net income, are subject to significant change by the end of fiscal 2010, given the impact of potential acquisitions, tax rate changes and other operational factors which will heavily impact these items and are also impacted by the Company's historical stock option investigation and the effect of any compensation charges arising from future equity grants.
