Interest and other expense in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 was $1.2 million, compared to interest and other expense of $0.5 million in the same period last year. The expense incurred in the current quarter is due to interest on the Company's term loan which did not exist in the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as Gross Profit as determined in accordance with GAAP excluding certain costs associated with the product recall included in GAAP cost of sales. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP (gross profit as a percentage of sales, net) excluding the costs associated with the product recall. We define Adjusted Operating Income as Operating Income excluding certain costs associated with the product recall. We define Adjusted Net Income as Net Income excluding certain costs associated with the product recall and the applicable tax impacts associated with these items. Adjusted EPS is calculated based on Adjusted Net Income and the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We are presenting Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because management believes that excluding the product recall costs from the relevant GAAP measures, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations provides useful information about our period-over-period growth and profitability and provides additional information that is useful for evaluating our operating performance. Each of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; and (ii) we use Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS internally as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measures, including gross profit, gross margin, operating income, net income or net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

The tables set forth below present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to Gross Profit, Operating Income, Net Income, and Diluted EPS, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
