Second quarter fiscal 2012 GAAP net income from continuing operations includes approximately $4.8 million in tax expense, $1.9 million in depreciation expense, $1.8 million in stock-based compensation costs, $0.7 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets, and $0.6 million of acquisition costs and other related expenses. Second quarter fiscal 2012 adjusted EBITDA (net earnings from continuing operations before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition costs and other related expenses, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, and stock-based compensation costs) was $18.8 million, compared to $10.7 million for the prior year’s second quarter.

Cash flows from operating activities were a net inflow of $11.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to a net inflow of $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 were $105.0 million, a decrease of $60.9 million from September 30, 2011, largely due to the use of cash for the acquisition of KOR Electronics during the quarter, partially offset by cash generated by operating activities.
