………………..…………………………………….
Forward looking statements
Certain matters being discussed by Local Corporation’s management
today include forward looking statements which are made pursuant to
the Safe Harbor provisions of section 21-E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Investors are cautioned that statements which are not
strictly historical statements, including statements concerning future
expected financial performance, management objectives and plans
for future operations, our relationships with strategic or other partners,
the release of new products or services or enhancements to existing
products or services, our expectations regarding potential acquisitions
and the future performance of past acquisitions including our ability to
realize expected synergies, trends in the market for our current or
planned products or services, and market acceptance of our products
or services, constitute forward looking statements.
The forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, any
statements containing the words “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimates”,
“believes”, “should”,  “could”, “may”, “possibly”, and similar
expressions and the negatives thereof. These forward looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking
statements. Those risks and uncertainties are detailed in the
company’s filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The information contained in the forward looking
statements is provided as of the date of such oral statements and the
company disclaims any obligation to update such statements.
This document includes the non-GAAP financial measure of
“Adjusted Net Income/Loss” which we define as net income/loss
excluding: provision for income taxes, interest and other income
(expense), net; depreciation; amortization; stock-based
compensation charges; gain or loss on warrant revaluation; net
income (loss) from discontinued operations; impairment charges
and non-recurring items.
Adjusted Net Income/Loss, as defined above, is not a measurement
under GAAP. Adjusted Net Income/Loss is reconciled to net loss and
loss per share, which we believe are the most comparable GAAP
measures, at the end of this presentation. Management believes that
Adjusted Net Income/Loss provides useful information to investors
about the company’s performance because it eliminates the effects of
period-to-period changes in income from interest on the company’s
cash and marketable securities, expense from the company’s
financing transactions and the costs associated with income tax
expense, capital investments, stock-based compensation expense,
warrant revaluation charges, and non-recurring charges which are not
directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company’s
business operations. Management uses Adjusted Net Income/Loss in
evaluating the overall performance of the company’s business
operations.
A limitation of non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income/Loss is that it excludes
items that often have a material effect on the company’s net income
and earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP
Therefore, management compensates for this limitation by using
Adjusted Net Income/Loss in conjunction with GAAP net loss and loss
per share measures. The company believes that Adjusted Net
Income/Loss provides investors with an additional tool for evaluating
the company’s core performance, which management uses in its own
evaluation of overall performance, and as a base-line for assessing
the future earnings potential of the company. While the GAAP results
are more complete, the company prefers to allow investors to have
this supplemental metric since, with reconciliation to GAAP (as noted
above), it may provide greater insight into the company’s financial
results. The non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement
to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP net income or
earnings per share.
