Item 2.02.

Results of Operations and Financial Conditions.

The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto are being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.

On February 22, 2011, we issued a press release regarding our financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

We make reference to non-GAAP financial information in both the press release and during the conference call and webcast regarding our quarterly results. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in the attached press release. Specifically, among other non-GAAP financial measures, we have provided non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share measures that exclude the impact of acquisition related adjustments, severance costs, acquisition related costs, and stock-based compensation expenses.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with insight into what is used by management to conduct a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our ongoing operating results and trends, compared with historical results. This presentation is also consistent with the measures management uses to measure the performance of ongoing operating results against prior periods and against our internally developed targets. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the attached press release.
