** Forrester believes that pro forma financial results provide investors with consistent and comparable information to aid in the understanding of Forrester's ongoing business. Forrester uses pro forma financial information to manage its business, including use of pro forma results as the basis for setting targets for various compensation programs. Our pro forma presentation excludes amortization of intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, gains or impairments from marketable and non-marketable investments, costs associated with the stock option investigation and restatement of our historical financial statements, as well as their related tax effects. The pro forma data does not purport to be prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States.
