The Company's ability to create liquid marketplaces for wholesale, surplus and salvage assets generates a continuous flow of goods from its corporate and government sellers. This flow of goods in turn attracts an increasing number of professional buyers to the marketplaces.

"Our performance during the quarter reflected solid execution of our business strategy as our commercial business grew approximately 120% year over year. Our scrap and surplus business with the Department of Defense (DoD) also contributed to strong increases in GMV and Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. We believe Q3-06 results demonstrate that LSI enables corporations and government agencies to achieve enhanced financial value and efficiencies in the tracking and sale of surplus and salvage assets."

Its main premise, as popularized by the book "Reengineering the Corporation" by Michael Hammer and James Champy, is to examine the goals of an organization and to redesign work and business processes from the ground up  of certain business and inventory processes in our Surplus business with the Department of Defense ("DoD") as they undergo a review of their internal procedures regarding certain products remitted to us for sale. The implementation of these additional processes may require us to incur To become subject to and liable for; to have liabilities imposed by act or operation of law.

Our results may also be materially affected by other factors, including the Company's expectation that it will continue to make significant investments in its infrastructure and value-added services to support new business in both commercial and public sector markets.

We continued to make investments in our U.S. distribution center operations. In July July: see month.  2006, we signed a lease for a 94,000 square-foot distribution center in Plainfield, Indiana Plainfield is a town in Hendricks County, Indiana, United States. The population was 18,396 at the 2000 census. Its 2005 population, according to the Indiana demographic annual update, was 23,532.

 distribution center during the next two quarters. We would expect to have additional capital expenditures associated with our distribution center expansion, which may result in total capital expenditures for FY 2006 of $1.1 to $1.5 million. Q3 results reflect the first full quarter of our German operations which commenced upon the award of a new contract by the DoD in January January: see month.  2006. We expect start-up losses for this new contract to extend at least over the next quarter, as we invest in new staff and facilities.

Included in our Scrap contract with the DoD is an incentive, which can increase the amount of profit sharing profit sharing, arrangement by which employees receive, in addition to their wages, a share of the net profits of a business. The purpose is to give them an incentive to increase their output through enhanced morale, less wasteful use of materials, better care of  distribution we receive from 20% up to 22%. This incentive is based on the amount of scrap sold to small businesses during the preceding 12 months. During the first 12 month measurement period ended June 30, 2006, we achieved the 22% profit sharing rate. This increase in the profit-sharing profit-sharing

We have an opportunity to receive this incentive annually throughout the Scrap contract. The measurement period will continue to be the preceding 12 months as of June 30th of each year, and therefore this benefit, to the extent achieved, will continue to be recorded in the quarter ended June 30th.

GMV - LSI expects GMV for FY2006 to be in the range of $169 million to $171 million, which is an increase from the $160 million to $165 million range provided in the Q2-06 earnings announcement. In Q4-06, LSI expects GMV to be in the range of $42 million to $44 million.

Adjusted EBITDA - LSI expects Adjusted EBITDA for FY2006 to be in the range of $14.1 million to $14.3 million, which is an increase from the $13.3 million to $13.5 million range provided in the Q2-06 earnings announcement. In Q4-06, LSI expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $3.1 million to $3.3 million.

Adjusted Diluted EPS - LSI estimates that Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share for FY2006 will be approximately $0.30, which is an increase from the $0.28 provided in the Q2-06 earnings announcement. In Q4-06, LSI estimates that Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share will be $0.07.

We plan to provide specific guidance for fiscal year 2007 during our next earnings announcement, which will be subsequent to the conclusion of our fiscal year end September September: see month.  30, 2006. We continue to believe GMV and Adjusted EBITDA will increase approximately 25% and 30%, respectively, for fiscal year 2007.

GMV and Revenue Mix -- GMV and revenue continue to diversify diversify

These non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP metric that can be used to evaluate a company's profitability.

 (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the Company's prospects for the future. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (a) as measurements of operating performance because they assist the Company in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis since the measures remove the impact of items not directly resulting from the Company's core operations; (b) for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's internal annual operating budget Noun 1. operating budget - a budget for current expenses as distinct from financial transactions or permanent improvements

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating measures. In addition, because LSI has historically reported certain non-GAAP measures to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting. These measures should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Supplemental Operating Data

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, LSI uses certain supplemental operating data as a measure of certain components of operating performance. LSI reviews GMV because it provides a measure of the volume of goods being sold in its marketplaces and thus the activity of those marketplaces. GMV and the Company's other supplemental operating data, registered buyers, auction participants and completed transactions also provide a means to evaluate the effectiveness of investments that the Company has made and continues to make in the areas of customer support, value-added services, product development, sales and marketing and operations. Therefore, the Company believes this supplemental operating data provide useful information to both management and investors. In addition, because LSI has historically reported certain supplemental operating data to investors, the Company believes the inclusion of this supplemental operating data provides consistency in the Company's financial reporting. This data should be considered in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
