“Our continued penetration into the higher education market will also drive growth in 2011. We have seen very favorable response from both our higher education customers and our Tier-1 service provider customers to the cost and performance of our PacketLogic PL 8720.
“We are excited about the significant progress we have made in positioning our business for growth. Our success in signing on seven new Tier-1 service providers and adding a significant OEM partner in 2010, along with our recently announced technology alliance and continued product innovation, underscore our commitment to becoming a leader in the growing Deep Packet Inspection and policy enforcement markets,” concluded Mr. Brear.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Procera’s management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding consolidated GAAP measures and related segment information, provide incremental insight into the underlying factors and trends affecting both Procera’s performance and its cash generating potential. Management believes these non-GAAP measures increase the transparency of the company’s current results and enable investors to more fully understand trends in its current and future performance.
Thus, in addition to the financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding our financial performance. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations." Management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax benefits, if any:
Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP net income. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations that requires cash. Investors should note that our intangible assets were essential for generating revenues during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well.
Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP gross profit, operating expenses and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees and consultants, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
Non-cash interest expense: We have excluded the effect of a non-cash charge to interest expense for the amortization of debt discounts related to convertible promissory notes that were issued and converted within the second quarter of 2009.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP because they do not fully reflect non-cash expenses. The above-mentioned non-GAAP measures are generated by adjusting the related GAAP measures solely to reverse the effect of the above mentioned non-cash expenses. The Company uses these financial measures to provide additional insight into current operating and business trends not readily apparent from the GAAP results.
Management believes users of Procera’s financial statements will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company’s operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, management recognizes that:
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company’s GAAP financial measures;
|
|
·
|
these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principles; and
|
|
·
|
management intends to continue to track and present these non-GAAP financial measures for future periods.

Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Procera, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company’s results to the results of other companies.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears at the end of this press release.
