GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION

The Company provides adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in this press release as additional information regarding the Company's operating results. These measures are not in accordance with – or an alternative for – GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' understanding of its historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results. The Company consequently believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful insight into its profitability. This release should be read in conjunction with its Form 8-K earnings release filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. 

The non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share measures exclude the impact of acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof, the recapture of previously recognized sales tax expense, stock option expense, and restructuring charges, all net of income tax effects.   A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP adjustments is included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

(a) Because stock option expense is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control, the impact of such expense is not subject to effective management by us. Thus, we have excluded the impact of this expense from adjusted non-GAAP results. The stock option expense is included in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:
    Three Months Ended

    2010 2009
Cost of services    $ 139  $ 133
Research and development    166  213
Sales and marketing    320  447
General and administrative    553  607
Total stock option expense    $ 1,178  $ 1,400
       
(b) Adjustments represent purchased intangibles amortization from prior acquisitions. Such amortization is commonly excluded from GAAP net income by companies in our industry and we therefore exclude these amortization costs to provide more relevant and meaningful comparisons of our operating results to that of our competitors.
(c) We recorded additional employee severance expense of $63,000 in the first quarter of 2009 related to the restructuring action taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. We do not believe that the restructuring charge is common cost that resulted from normal operating activities. Consequently, we have excluded this charge from adjusted non-GAAP results.
(d) Adjustment represents recovery of previously expensed sales tax resulting from a sales tax audit refund. Because we have recognized the full potential amount of the sales tax expense in prior periods, any recovery of that expense would overstate the current period net income derived from our core operations as the recovery is not a result of any event occurring within our control during the current period. Thus, we have excluded this recovery from adjusted non-GAAP results.
