A reconciliation between these fi gures and the most directly comparable Fiscal Year 2007 GAAP fi gures is presented at the end of this Financial Review. We sometimes use information derived from consolidated fi nancial information but not presented in our fi nancial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP fi nancial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP fi nancial measures presented above consist of share-based compensation expense for employee stock options and employee stock purchases, and the related income tax effect, as recognized in accordance with SFAS 123R. Because we implemented SFAS 123R effective April 1, 2006, our fi nancial results prior to this time do not include the effect of share-based compensation expense. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its fi nancial and operational decision-making. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate the comparison by our investors of results for periods subsequent to our adoption of SFAS 123R, with corresponding prior periods for which SFAS 123R was not effective.
