Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 23, 2007, we announced our financial results for the fiscal
quarter ended July 1, 2007, and certain other information. The press
release, which has been attached as Exhibit 99, discloses a
financial measure, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization ("EBITDA"), that is considered a non-GAAP financial
measure as defined under SEC rules. Generally, a non-GAAP financial
measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial
position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts
that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly
comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Management believes that
EBITDA is one of the appropriate measures for evaluating our
operating performance, because it reflects the resources available
for strategic opportunities including, among others, to invest in
the business, strengthen the balance sheet and make strategic
acquisitions. However, this measure should be considered in addition
to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net earnings or
other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as more fully discussed in
our financial statements and filings with the SEC. The EBITDA
measures included in our press release have been reconciled to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures as is required under SEC
rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
This press release also includes the diluted earnings per share for
the quarter ended July 1, 2007 excluding the impact of the mark to
market expense for the Lucas warrants. Management believes that the
presentation of diluted earnings per share absent the impact of the
Lucas warrant mark to market expense is helpful to an investor's
understanding of the results of the Company's underlying operations
and business as the mark to market expense is primarily based on
changes in the Company's stock price which are beyond the control of
management.
As used herein, "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
