Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, including but not limited to statements concerning the outlook for the Company's revenues and EPS for fiscal 2010; and all other statements concerning the plans, intentions, expectations, projections, hopes, beliefs, objectives, goals and strategies of management.

Important risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, demand for the Company's products and services; the ability of the Company to successfully develop and expand its products, services, technologies and markets; the ability of the Company to effectively assimilate acquired businesses and achieve the anticipated benefits of its acquisitions; changes in U.S. government funding levels to purchase the Company’s products and services; the ability of the Company to sell its products to original equipment manufacturers, prime contractors and system integrators; seasonality; competition; the ability of the Company to develop innovative products; the ability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate key personnel; the ability of the Company to secure and maintain key contracts and relationships, including contracts with the U.S. government; general economic, market and business conditions, uncertainties and other factors identified from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, ICx considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus non-cash equity compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than ICx, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. ICx compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
