We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures presented above consist of the impairment loss related to an other- than-temporary decline in fair value of short-term investments during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. There were no adjustments to our GAAP net income during the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 and accordingly our financial results for those periods are presented in the accompanying earnings release on a GAAP basis only. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its financial and operational decision-making. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate better comparison by our investors of our current period results with corresponding prior periods.
