Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in such filing.

On December 16, 2011, the Company participated in an investor presentation. During the Q&A portion of the meeting, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer mentioned that 2011 adjusted EBITDA performance was expected to be in the range of $13 million to $14 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Management believes that adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (“adjusted EBITDA”) provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company’s business operations, facilitates a better comparison of results for current periods with the Company’s previous operating results, and assists management in analyzing future trends, making strategic and business decisions and establishing internal budgets and forecasts.

There are limitations in using this non-GAAP financial measure because it is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements. This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance, specifically 2011 adjusted EBITDA guidance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those terms and other comparable terminology. These statements reflect only management’s current expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements the Company makes or incorporates by reference in this report are set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as may be updated from time to time by future filings under the Exchange Act. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
