The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. Use of Estimates The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements according to GAAP that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. These estimates and assumptions involve judgments with respect to many factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. The Company revises the estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. Reclassifications Certain fiscal 2010 product and service revenues and costs of sales were reclassified (with no impact on total gross margin) in order to conform to current period reporting presentations. Certain fiscal 2010 amounts related to corporate-owned life insurance policies were reclassified to conform to current period reporting presentation (with no impact on loss from continuing operations or cash flows used for operations). Correction of Error During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an adjustment to increase income tax expense by $3.8 million. The adjustment increased the Company's valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets and represents a correction of an error. In fiscal 2009, the Company erroneously considered the tax effect of indefinite-lived intangible assets as a source of future taxable income, when it established a significant U.S. valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. Income (loss) before income taxes did not change. Net loss increased by $3.8 million, or $0.17 per share, due to this adjustment. Management performed an evaluation under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108 and concluded the effect of this adjustment was immaterial to prior years' financial statements as well as the projected full-year fiscal 2011 financial statements. Credit Facility Until July 29, 2011, the Company maintained a $50.0 million Loan and Security Agreement among the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries, and Bank of America, N.A. (the "Lender"), dated May 5, 2009 ("Credit Facility"). Additional information with respect to the Credit Facility is contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The Company terminated the Credit Facility on July 29, 2011 in conjunction with the sale of TSG. As a result of the proceeds the Company received from the sale of TSG, the Company determined that it no longer required the liquidity provided by the Credit Facility. As a result of the termination of the Credit Facility, the Company expensed approximately $0.4 million in unamortized deferred financing fees that related to the Credit Facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Use of Estimates

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements according to GAAP that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. These estimates and assumptions involve judgments with respect to many factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company's control. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. The Company revises the estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available.

Reclassifications

Certain fiscal 2010 product and service revenues and costs of sales were reclassified (with no impact on total gross margin) in order to conform to current period reporting presentations.
