    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Investors are cautioned that normalized EBITDA and normalized EPS
information contained in this press release are not financial measures
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition,
they should not be construed as alternatives to any other measures of
performance determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP
financial measures are provided to enhance the user's overall
understanding of the Company's current financial performance and the
Company's prospects for the future. We believe normalized EBITDA and
normalized EPS are important measures of our recurring operations as
they exclude items that may not be indicative of our core operating
results and calculate earnings per share in a manner consistent with
prior periods. Normalized EBITDA is based on operating income,
excluding impact of SFAS 123(R), depreciation and amortization,
goodwill impairments, and other charges. Normalized EPS is based on
net income (loss) excluding other charges, impact of SFAS 123(R),
non-cash charges, goodwill impairments, amortization of acquired
intangible assets, and gains and losses on investments. See
"Supplemental Information" at the end of this release for
reconciliation of GAAP EBITDA and EPS to normalized EBITDA and EPS.

(1) On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
 Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123(R)") under
 the modified prospective method of adoption. Accordingly, the three
 and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 exclude stock-based
 compensation expense calculated under SFAS No. 123(R).

(2) Normalized net income & EPS is based on net income (loss),
 excluding normalizing adjustments, which includes other charges, non-
 cash charges, META integration and amortization charges, goodwill
 impairments, gains and losses from investments and charges for stock-
 based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R). We believe normalized EPS
 is an important measure of our recurring operations.

See "Supplemental Information" at the end of this release for a
 reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) and EPS to Normalized net
 income and EPS and a discussion of the reconciling items.

 three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 excludes stock
 compensation expense determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R)
 since the Company did not restate prior periods.

Footnotes

(1) Normalized EBITDA is based on operating income (loss) before
    interest, taxes, depreciation amortization, and certain
    normalizing adjustments.

    Normalized net income & EPS is based on net income (loss),
    excluding normalizing adjustments which includes other charges,
    non-cash charges, META integration and amortization charges,
    goodwill impairments, gains and losses on investments, and charges
    for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R) (see Footnote
    4 below).

    Normalized EBITDA, as well as normalized net income and EPS, are
    not measurements of operating performance calculated in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should
    not be considered substitutes for operating income (loss) and net
    income (loss) in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these
    measurements may not be defined consistently by other companies,
    these measurements may not be comparable to similarly titled
    measures of other companies.

    However, we believe these indicators are relevant and useful to
    investors because they provide alternative measures that take into
    account certain adjustments that are viewed by our management as
    being non-cash items or charges.

(2) Other charges during 2005 included first quarter pre-tax charges
    of $10.6 related to a reduction in workforce and $3.7 million
    primarily for restructuring within the Company's international
    operations, a second quarter pre-tax charge of $8.2 million,
    primarily related to a reduction in facilities, a third quarter
    pre-tax charge of $6.0 related to an option buyback, and a fourth
    quarter charge of $0.7 million related to a reduction in
    workforce.

(3) The META integration charges are related to our acquisition of the
    META Group, Inc. These costs were primarily for severance, and for
    consulting, accounting, and tax services.

(4) The stock compensation charge represents the cost of stock-based
    compensation awarded by the Company to its employees under
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R),
    "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS No. 123R"). The Company adopted SFAS
    No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, under the modified propective
    method of adoption.

(5) The amortization of META intangibles represents the non-cash
    amortization charges related to the other intangible assets
    recorded as a result of the META acquisition.

(6) The loss on investments relate to impairment losses on
    investments. These charges are recorded in "Loss from investments,
    net."

(7) The normalized effective tax rates were 32.6% and 37% for 2006 and
    2005, respectively.
