Item 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On January 10, 2005, the Company participated in the J.P. Morgan Healthcare. At the conference the Company made a brief comment regarding its expected financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The live presentation was available to the public via a website. A copy of the transcript of the presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Certain of the information set forth in the transcript may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has regularly reported pro forma results which exclude merger related amortization and business integration costs to provide a supplemental comparison of results of operations. Management excludes these costs when analyzing operations since they are principally non-cash or other costs resulting primarily from business restructurings or purchase accounting that are separate from ongoing operations. Management also believes that the pro forma results provide investors with additional useful information concerning the Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows. The pro forma results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
