Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, net income, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. It references a press release containing these figures but does not list them within the 8-K body.
Notable Non-GAAP Adjustments Identified:
- Q1 Fiscal 2006 Adjustment: Exclusion of a one-time, non-cash income amount of $285,000 resulting from a reduction in lease abandonment accrued liability.
- Q3 Fiscal 2006 Adjustment: Exclusion of $6,769,000 of income associated with the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
Material Changes and Unusual Items
The filing highlights specific non-recurring items impacting financial measures:
- Lease Abandonment: In March 2005, the company entered an agreement with its primary landlord releasing it from future obligations for office space abandoned in December 2001, in exchange for leasing additional space elsewhere in the building. This resulted in the $285,000 non-cash income adjustment.
- Tax Valuation Allowance: A significant reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance generated $6,769,000 in income for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
