2.    Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

(A)    Represents the Company's historical consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, which were derived from the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
