NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different
from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company's
management refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating
decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the
Company's operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures
facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical
operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. We include
these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to,
and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release
because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater
transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and
operational decision-making. For a reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP
financial results, please refer to our ProForma Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations, presented in this release.

      (1)   Represents the stock option expense associated with the adoption of FAS 123R.
      (2)   Pro forma amounts exclude stock option expenses recognized for GAAP purposes under FAS 123R. As discussed earlier in
            this release, these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for their comparable
            GAAP measures. The pro forma amounts exclude any tax related effects of FAS 123R as these effects are not deemed to be
            material.
