Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
(c) Exhibits. A list of exhibits required is given in the Exhibit Index
that precedes the exhibits filed with this report.
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 3, 2003, we publicly disseminated an earnings release (the
"Release") announcing our financial results for the quarter ended September 30,
2003. A copy of the Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information included in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is being
furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section, or incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
a filing.
To supplement the consolidated financial results as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Release
presents a non-GAAP financial measure, "EBITDA" (Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). We believe that the use of EBITDA
enhances overall understanding of our current financial performance. As required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, EBITDA is reconciled to Net Profit
(Loss) in the Release.
