Our updated analysis of the ARS fair value indicates there is a temporary impairment of $449,000 ($296,000 net of tax). The ARS are classified as long- term assets at September 30, 2008. This unrealized loss does not flow through our income statement; rather it is recorded directly to shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. Notwithstanding the potential settlements, there is uncertainty in the ARS market and, should circumstances change, we may deem the impairment to be other than temporary or otherwise adjust our analysis.
Non-GAAP Information
We provide certain non-GAAP financial information as supplemental information to GAAP amounts. This non-GAAP information excludes the impact, net of tax, of amortizing the intangible assets from the EIS asset purchase and excludes the costs incurred in conjunction with our withdrawn follow-on offering that were expensed in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Management believes that this presentation facilitates the comparison of our current operating results to historical operating results. Management uses this non-GAAP information to evaluate short-term and long-term operating trends in our core operations. Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for or an alternative to GAAP financial measures and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
