(1) Non-GAAP income (loss) represents net earnings (loss) before
    amortization, impairment and restructuring charges. Non-GAAP
    income (loss) is not indicative of cash provided by or used in
    operating activities and may differ from comparable information
    provided by other companies. Non-GAAP income (loss) should not be
    considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful
    than measures of financial performance determined in accordance
    with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
    States. Non-GAAP income (loss) is commonly used in the industry
    and is presented because Artemis believes it provides relevant and
    useful information to investors. Investors would use such a
    measure to analyze and compare companies on the basis of current
    period operating performance. Artemis utilizes and has disclosed
    Non-GAAP income (loss) to provide additional information with
    respect to its ability to meet future capital expenditures and
    working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness if necessary,
    and to fund growth.
