Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting , or GAAP, VistaPrint uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures" included at the end of this release. VistaPrint's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core business operating results. VistaPrint believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing VistaPrint's performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to VistaPrint's historical performance and our competitors' operating results. VistaPrint believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency (1) The quality of being able to see through a material. The terms transparency and translucency are often used synonymously; however, transparent would technically mean "seeing through clear glass," while translucent would mean "seeing through frosted glass." See alpha blending. with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Management uses these supplemental measures to evaluate performance period over period and to analyze the underlying trends in the Company's business and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources.

The accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation between these financial measures. The item excluded from the non-GAAP measurements is share-based compensation expense. Share-based compensation expense VistaPrint adopted SFAS SFAS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS Special Forces Assessment and Selection SFAS Student Financial Aid Services SFAS Sport Fishing Association of Singapore SFAS Safety Features Actuation System SFAS Statewide Fixed Assets System 123(R), Share-Based Payments, on July 1, 2005 and began expensing the fair value of share option grants issued to employees and directors. Prior to that date, the Company had accounted for share option grants under the provisions of APB APB See Accounting Principles Board (APB). No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and therefore had not recorded any compensation expense related to such grants. Management has excluded share-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP measurements for fiscal year 2006 and 2007 to facilitate comparison and analysis to historical performance and our competitors' operating results. Although management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to understanding the Company's financial performance, to gain a complete picture of all effects on the Company's profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP statement of income.
