The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been revised to treat the amendment of the Company's Facility Agreement in September 2009 (the terms of which were disclosed at that time) as a modification rather than an extinguishment of the debt under that Agreement. A debt modification recognizes debt discount relating to the original borrowings over the term of the new borrowing as a non-cash adjustment to interest expense rather than as a loss on debt extinguishment at the time the original borrowing is amended. The restatement resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $7.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, with an equivalent reduction in net interest expense and net loss.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been revised to treat the amendment of the Company's Facility Agreement in September 2009 (the terms of which were disclosed at that time) as a modification rather than an extinguishment of the debt under that Agreement. A debt modification recognizes debt discount relating to the original borrowings over the term of the new borrowing as a non-cash adjustment to interest expense rather than as a loss on debt extinguishment at the time the original borrowing is amended. The impact of the revision resulted in other assets increasing from $1.9 million to $3.1 million, and long-term debt decreasing from $97.0 million to $89.1 million with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in-capital from $382.7 million to $384.6 million and a reduction in accumulated deficit from $329.9 million to $322.7 million. The decrease in accumulated deficit reflects the reduction in the 2009 net loss from $79.5 million to $72.3 million due to the elimination of the loss on debt extinguishment.
