The Company reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP, which refers financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. However, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation table above, are provided herein because management uses such measures in evaluating the results of the operations of the Company and believes this information provides investors better insight into underlying business trends and performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded severance and other related charges of $200,000 and equity based compensation charges of $214,000, included in selling, general and administrative. The Company also recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $248,000 and accreted interest of $26,000 related to the acquisition of Brink. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded severance and other related charges of $364,000 and equity based compensation charges of $185,000, included in selling, general and administrative. The Company also recognized amortization of acquired intangible assets of $31,000 related to the acquisition of Brink. The aforementioned charges, along with an associated adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes have been excluded in the Company’s non-GAAP measures because they are considered non-recurring in nature and/or are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company’s core operations during any particular period.
