Forward looking statements
CORPORATE OVERVIEW | 4Q2012
2
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
and severance 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.
