Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On November 5, 2012, the Registrant issued
a press release announcing results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 (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) adjusted gross profit and gross margin, (ii) net income before non-cash items and related earnings per diluted share,
and adjusted net income before non-cash items and related earnings per diluted share, and (iii) earnings before interest, taxes,
other income, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA. The Company also believes that presentation
of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e.: (i) adjusted gross profit and gross margin, (ii) net income before non-cash items and related
earnings per diluted share, and adjusted net income before non-cash items and related earnings per diluted share, and (iii) EBITDA
and adjusted EBITDA, provide 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. 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
