Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this earnings press release exclude amortization of intangible assets and an adjustment to present the prior year net income as if such results had been fully taxed. The Company uses these measures for planning and forecasting its future business as well as analyzing such forecasts against past performance. In addition, excluding these charges and including prior year tax expense enhances the Company's understanding of trends developing in its operations as well as its performance in its market and against its competitors. The Company believes that providing specific financial information on the cost of such expenses, as well as providing non-GAAP net income measures that exclude such items, best allows investors to understand the Company's ongoing business activities during the quarter. The Company believes that inclusion of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides comparability to similar companies in the Company's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or preferable to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to evaluate its ongoing operating results and trends. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed below (in thousands, except earnings per share and margins):
