copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The Company
believes that the presentation of non-GAAP pro forma information included in the press
release may be of use to investors because the Company has historically provided such
information and understands that some investors consider it useful in evaluating the
Company&#146;s on-going operations. The Company uses pro forma information, along with
GAAP information, in evaluating the Company&#146;s on-going operations. The non-GAAP pro
forma information should be read in conjunction with the GAAP information. A
reconciliation of the non-GAAP pro forma information to the GAAP information is included
in the press release. </FONT></TD></TR>
