Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 5, 2012, a Company representative attended Raymond James 33rd Annual Institutional Investors Conference and held a presentation meeting. A copy of the presentation slides is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be treated as filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, or into another filing under the Exchange Act, unless that filing expressly refers to specific information in this Report. The furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 is not intended to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information in this Item 7.01 is material information that is not otherwise publicly available.

In the presentation, the Company utilized financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide stockholders with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables stockholders to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide stockholders with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company’s future financial performance. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. We believe that our stockholders should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. See Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on February 14, 2012 for definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures, together with an explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to stockholders. In addition, in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on February 14, 2012, we have provided tables to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.
