believes is non-GAAP Financial Information as contemplated by
SEC Regulation G, Rule 100. The press release contains tables
that reconcile these measures to their corresponding GAAP based
measures presented in the Companys Consolidated Statements of
Income. The material limitation associated with the use of the
non-GAAP financial measures is that the non-GAAP measures do
not reflect the full economic impact of the Companys
activities. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in
accordance with GAAP, are not an alternative to GAAP financial
information, and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP
financial information disclosed by other companies.

information.
