  flow from operations. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that these measures are useful measures of performance. The Company reports net loss,
  excluding the amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation and proxy contest costs, to provide its investors with an additional method for assessing the results of its operations. The Company also reports free cash flow to provide
