NASDAQ Listing Compliance
On March 24, 2009, Lantronix received written notification that the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") has extended for three months the suspension period related to the enforcement of the rules requiring a minimum $1.00 closing bid price or a minimum market value of publicly held shares. NASDAQ has said that it will not take any action to delist any security for these concerns during the suspension period. NASDAQ has stated that this suspension will remain in effect until Monday, July 20, 2009. As a result of this suspension, Lantronix has until October 7, 2009 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
The NASDAQ letter has no effect on the listing of the Common Stock at this time. If Lantronix is not able to demonstrate compliance with the listing standards by October 7, 2009, it will be notified that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, Lantronix may appeal the determination to delist its common stock.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP operating expenses consist of operating expenses excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement, and restructuring charges, as well as charges and gains that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the company's core operating performance.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement, restructuring charges, interest income (expense), other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit), as well as charges and gains that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company's core operating performance.
Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.
