The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. On October 27, 2005, VASCO held a conference call with investors to discuss VASCO's third quarter earnings and results of operations for the first nine months of 2005. A script read by officers of VASCO during the conference call is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release and the comments by VASCO during the conference call contained a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation G. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. The press release contained a reference to EBITDA and provided a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. EBITDA is used by VASCO for comparisons to other companies within its industry as an alternative to GAAP measures and is used by investors and analysts in evaluating performance. EBITDA, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, is computed by adding back net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, and amortization expense to net income as reported. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA, as defined above, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
