During the three months ended July 31, 2003, Workflow recorded certain gains totaling approximately $1.2 million.

This discussion of Workflow's financial results includes a number of non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, Adjusted EBITDA and income from continuing operations excluding the after tax impact of restructuring costs and certain other charges are all non-GAAP financial measures. For all non-GAAP financial measures, the Company has presented in the summary financial information included with this press release the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and has reconciled the non-GAAP financial measures with these most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to assist in understanding the ongoing, underlying operational performance of the Company. Specifically, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow those interested to more easily assess quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons of the Company's financial performance. In addition, the lenders under the Company's credit facility have requested and utilize certain of these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company's ongoing business performance.
