USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

The above information includes financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). 

The above table reconciles operating income (loss), income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted earnings (loss) from continuing operations per share, our most directly

comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to comparable amounts as adjusted to eliminate the effect of one-time items.

We eliminated the effect of such one-time items to assist in evaluating the underlying operational performance of our business, excluding such one-time items, over the periods

presented. We believe that this presentation is appropriate and facilitates such an evaluation by us, investors and analysts.  These measures should be considered supplemental to,

and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
