The Company's management evaluates operating performance excluding unusual and/or nonrecurring items. The Company believes excluding such items provides a more effective and comparable measure of performance and a clearer view of underlying trends. Since net income excluding these items is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, this should not be considered as a substitute for other GAAP measures, including net income, as an indicator of performance. Accordingly, net income/loss excluding the above items is reconciled to net income/loss on a GAAP basis.
