"While our fourth quarter revenue was in-line with our expectations, our
results were affected by a variety of factors that combined to result in
a loss from continuing operations. Excluding the impact of the

"Lastly, I would like to thank all of our former clinical trial services

(d) Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure, is defined as (loss) income from operations before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and non-cash equity compensation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to (loss) income from operations as an indicator of operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as one performance measure in its annual cash incentive program for certain members of its management team. In addition, management monitors Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including compliance with its debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure typically used in the Company's credit facilities in calculating various ratios. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, is useful to investors when evaluating the Company's performance as it excludes certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Company's consolidated revenue. | |||||||||||||||||
