Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Selectica uses non-GAAP measures of operating results, net income (loss) and income (loss) per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, and losses we believe appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
