Purchase accounting requires that deferred income of an acquired business  be written-down to fair value at the date of purchase. In the twelve months following the Merger (as defined in our 2010 Form 10-K filed March 31, 2011), revenue, operating income and net income will be impacted by this adjustment.
 
Item 2.02      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
In the press release described further above, the Company also released a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measurement, for the fourth quarter and full year 2010, as adjusted for the impact of deferred income associated with the Merger.
 
A copy of the press release dated April 1, 2011 is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
 
As set forth under the First Quarter 2011 heading above under Item 8.01, the Company announced certain preliminary estimates for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The preliminary financial data for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 included in this Current Report has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, management. KPMG LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to such preliminary financial data. Actual results could differ materially as we finalize such results.
 
 
 

 
 
 
This Current Report may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and reflect the Company management’s judgment and beliefs as of the date of this Current Report. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are affected by risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those set forth in the Company's public filings with the Commission. Accordingly, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these statements and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as a measure of operating performance, or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as a measure of liquidity.  Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
