The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income of the Company give effect to the sale of its dedicated server hosting business, which occurred on September 30, 2013.
The historical financial information of the Company set forth below has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income of the Company included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and the historical audited consolidated statement of income of the Company included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income were prepared as if the sale had occurred on March 31, 2012.

The pro forma adjustments are based on the information available at the time of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income.
