Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On April 26, 2007, Guideline, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its preliminary earnings for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007. A copy of the Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The information in this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The Press Release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). EBITDA, which is defined as the Registrant’s net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as the Registrant’s net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring charges, are presented in the Press Release because the Registrant's credit facility, which contains a term note totaling $4,500,000, maturing in 2010, and a revolving loan facility totaling $4,500,000, includes financial and other covenants which are based on or refer to the Registrant's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures to investors, allowing them to focus on the Registrant’s recurring results of operations. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are common alternatives to measuring operating performance used by investors and financial analysts to measure value, cash flow and performance. The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the Press Release.

Guideline, Inc. Reports Preliminary First Quarter Results

New York, New York, April 26, 2007— Guideline, Inc. (OTCBB: GDLN), the nation’s only single-source provider of custom business research, announced preliminary, summarized operating performance for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 in response to recent inquiries regarding the recent decline in the Company’s stock price.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter are expected to be in the range of $12.6 million to $13.0 million. This compares to reported revenues in the first quarter of 2006 of $11,256,000, and revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 of $11,614,000. Adjusted EBITDA*, exclusive of stock compensation expense, is expected to exceed the $1,133,000 in the prior year’s first quarter, and the $652,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006.

These results are preliminary as the Company’s auditors have not completed their quarterly review.

“While announcing preliminary results is not customary for the Company, and should not be considered a precedent, I felt it was important to provide a perspective to those that are concerned that our recent stock performance is related to our recent and prospective operating performance,” David Walke, Chairman and CEO, commented.

“Indeed, I am very pleased with the progress we continue to report”, Mr. Walke continued. “Overall, we had organic growth in revenues during the quarter, highlighted by record performance of our Custom Market Research Business, and a third consecutive quarter of positive net gain in our On-Demand annualized retainer base.”

“We are equally pleased with the EBITDA* performance in the quarter, particularly in light of the significantly increased costs of our Corporate Sales department year-over-year as it has ramped up. I am also pleased to report that this expanded sales force once again exceeded its bookings quota for the quarter,” Mr. Walke said.

Guideline expects to formally report its first quarter results on or about May 15, 2007.




*We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and other non-recurring charges, respectively, are useful measures to investors, allowing them to focus on our recurring results of operations, and are common alternatives to measuring operating performance used by investors and financial analysts to measure value, cash flow and performance. Also, our credit facility, which contains a term note totaling $4,500,000, maturing in 2010, and a revolving loan facility totaling $4,500,000, includes financial and other covenants which are based on or refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
