Dresner Advisory Services Rated MicroStrategy the Number One Overall Offering out of 25 Vendors for Mobile Computing / Mobile Business Intelligence

        terms of what devices organizations are using or plan to use, followed
        by Android smartphones.
    --  Also notable is the continued decline in the RIM Blackberry platform -
        with more than 50% of respondents indicating "no interest."

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

MicroStrategy is providing a supplemental financial measure for income from continuing operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation arrangements. This financial measure is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and, as a result, this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions. MicroStrategy believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis because it excludes a significant non-cash expense that the Company believes is not reflective of its general business performance. In addition, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements requires significant management judgment and the resulting expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies. Therefore, MicroStrategy believes the use of this non-GAAP financial measure can also facilitate comparison of the Company's operating results to those of its competitors.
