(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.
