========= ========= ========= ========= =========
The net loss of $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007,
represents the mathematical addition of the net loss of $0.4 million for
the Predecessor Entity for the period January 1 to February 14, 2007, and
the net loss of $18.6 million for the Successor Entity for the period
February 15 to June 30, 2007.
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Management uses this measure as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA is not an indicator of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), or a measure of liquidity and may not be comparable to similarly captioned information reported by other companies. In addition, it should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income (loss) before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities, or other traditional indicators of operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to exclude (i) equity-based compensation expense, (ii) non-recurring contract settlement costs, (iii) legal expenses payable by Pearson in connection with an investigation into a contract awarded to NCS Pearson, Inc. by the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") in 2002 and all potential reserves related to the potential settlement of such claim, and (iv) certain costs resulting from our separation from Pearson plc net of certain overhead and infrastructure costs.
Credit Agreement Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to normalize the operating income of a certain HHS contract and to exclude TSA related expenses.
