Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On February 6, 2012, the Registrant issued
a press release announcing preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011 (the "Press Release").
A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Press Release contains the non-GAAP measures:
(i) combined and pro forma sales, and (ii) combined, combined adjusted and pro forma adjusted gross profit and gross margin. The
Registrant also believes that presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., (i) combined and pro forma sales, and (ii) combined,
combined adjusted and pro forma adjusted gross profit and gross margin, provides useful information for the understanding of its
ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance, and thereby enhances the user's
overall understanding of the Registrant's current financial performance relative to past performance and provides, to the
nearest GAAP measures, a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable
GAAP financial measures in the financial tables within the Press Release. The Registrant cautions that non-GAAP measures should
be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Registrant's reported GAAP results. Additionally, the Registrant
notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial
measures used by other publicly traded companies.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K and the Press Release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
