Overall, innovation remains the foundation of our growth strategy. Our recent demonstration of the world's first WebRTC HD call between an internet browser and an IP phone is expected to accelerate the adoption of browser-based real-time voice and video communications.

The Company believes that non-GAAP information is useful because it can enhance the understanding of its ongoing economic performance and therefore uses internally this non-GAAP information to evaluate and manage its operations. The Company has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of operating results in a manner similar to how the Company analyzes its operating results and because many comparable companies report this type of information. |
