Non-operating adjustments include an inventory write-down of approximately $2.1 million, pre-tax, in fiscal year 2013 and exit costs of approximately $514,000, pre-tax, related to the closing of our King of Prussia facility. Effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and for the six months ended January 31, 2013 was not indicative of a full year rate. Thus, the effective tax rate for the six months ended January 31, 2014 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 was utilized.

(1)Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information We measure our performance primarily through our operating profit. In addition to our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, operating return on average equity and operating return on average assets, to measure our operating performance. We provide a definition of the components of these measurements and reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.   These non-GAAP measures are presented to enhance an understanding of our operating results and are not intended to represent cash flow or results of operations. The use of these non-GAAP measures provides an indication of our ability to service debt and measure operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to other companies in our industry, and are beneficial to investors, potential investors and other key stakeholders, including creditors who use this measure in their evaluation of performance.   These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. *
