Commenting on the results, Danny Haran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cimatron, said, "We are pleased to present an increase in revenues and profits on a non-GAAP basis, following the merger transaction with Gibbs and Associates. Cimatron, being an active player in the automotive, consumer, and production markets, may very well be affected by a prolonged global economic slowdown. However, we believe that our strong balance sheet and cash reserves are important assets in the current worldwide financial turmoil. While exercising tight budget control, we continue to invest in both the CimatronE and GibbsCAM product lines. In particular, we accelerated the process of selling GibbsCAM for high-end multi-axis machines, a lucrative market segment believed to be more recession resilient than other segments of the manufacturing market. With over $6M in cash, broad product offerings, and strong distribution channels, we believe that Cimatron is well positioned to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead", concluded Mr. Haran.

Reconciliation between results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis is provided in a table immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Operation (Non-GAAP basis). Non-GAAP financial measures consist of GAAP financial measures adjusted to include recognition of deferred revenues of acquired companies and to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred income tax, as well as certain business combination accounting entries. The purpose of such adjustments is to give an indication of our performance exclusive of non-GAAP charges and other items that are considered by management to be outside our core operating results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. We believe that these non- GAAP measures help investors to understand our current and future operating cash flow and performance, especially as our two most recent acquisitions have resulted in amortization and non-cash items that have had a material impact on our GAAP profits. These non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
