We report our financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  However, we are providing non-GAAP
adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share because certain items are customarily excluded by analyst in published estimates and
management believes, for purposes of comparability to financial performance in other periods and to evaluate the Company's trends, that excluding the
effects of these items is appropriate.  The adjusted amounts are not measures of financial performance under GAAP.
Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or earnings per
diluted share, income from operations, cash provided by operating activities or other income, profitability, cash flow or liquidity measures prepared under
U.S. GAAP.  Because adjusted net income and adjust net income per diluted share exclude some but not all items that affect net income and may vary
among companies, the adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share amounts presented may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies.
