profit, net income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results
based on GAAP to exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges in
accordance with SFAS 123( R ) and EITF 96-18, and amortization of intangible
assets in 2008 and exclude non-cash equity-based compensation charges in
accordance with SFAS 123( R ), and amortization of intangible assets in 2007.
OTI management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this
release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance
and enhances the understanding of the Company's on-going economic performance.
The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating
and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide all this
information to investors.
