Casciano. “We will continue to take the necessary steps to sharpen our focus on our core businesses and better position PAR to capitalize upon our competitive strengths in hospitality technology and Government I/T services.

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 continuing 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 first quarter, the Company recorded total charges of $878,000. The most significant of the charges was $607,000 of separation related costs. In addition to this charge, the Company incurred legal costs of $271,000 associated with an intellectual property matter that was settled during the quarter. 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 are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the Company’s core operations during any particular period.
