Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Kronos Incorporated (the “Company”) is hereby furnishing the following information, which was provided to potential lenders in connection with the syndication of a new credit facility intended to be used to finance the merger and related transactions described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2007. The following presentation contains certain Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see below for a reconciliation of such measures to their most comparable GAAP measure.
This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Generally, you can identify these statements because they contain words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “future,” “intends,” “plans” and similar terms. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning its plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, capital expenditures, future results, its competitive strengths, its business strategy, the trends in its industry, and the benefits of its recent acquisitions.
Although the Company does not make forward-looking statements unless it believes that it has a reasonable basis for doing so, the Company does not guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may differ materially from those the Company anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, including, among others, the risks the Company faces as described under the “Risk Factors” section of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that such future results or events expressed by the statement of expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements. The Company can give you no assurance that any of the events anticipated by forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them do, what impact they will have on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Company cautions you that in light of the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this current report on Form 8-K may not in fact occur. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this current report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. Furnishing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

C. Key Investment Considerations
The Company has achieved 10 year (1996-2006) pro forma revenue CAGR of 15.8% and pro forma adjusted EBITDA CAGR of 19.3%.
Kronos has a loyal and stable customer base comprised of multinationals, small and mid-market companies and blue chip companies. Over 50% of existing customers have been with the Company for 10+ years. The stability of the customer base is enhanced by the stickiness of the product and the high vendor switching costs. Time and labor products are usually tied to employee compensation, which creates greater customer stickiness as customers are wary of new systems and potential risk of failure. Moreover, switching vendors is both cost and resource prohibitive. It requires time to train personnel on a new software system, and there are additional expenses associated with switching hardware and software. Finally, Kronos’ suite of solutions has demonstrated quantifiable cost savings and enhanced ROI for its customers. Management estimates that these factors have led to Kronos achieving annual maintenance retention rates in excess of 90%.

· Stock Based Compensation: Relates to the non-cash compensation expense that Kronos must take in accordance with FAS 123R. Kronos includes all non-cash share-based payments, including non-cash grants of stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchase plan, in its income statement as an operating expense.
· Deferred Revenue Write-down: Corrects write-downs Kronos incurred with regard to various acquired companies. Kronos has acquired several companies in recent years and has accounted for these acquisitions using purchase accounting. As a result of purchase accounting rules, the Company has been required to write down a substantial portion of the deferred revenues attributable to these acquired companies. This add-back is meant to correct for this write-down so that EBITDA reflects an amount as if the revenue that was written down has actually been realized.
· One-time Expenses: Reflects the add-back for the custom contract losses related to contracts with Air France/KLM Royal Dutch Airline (“Air France/KLM”). The Company signed a contract with Air France/KLM to provide them with highly customized scheduling solutions. The Company provided the products and services to Air France/KLM at a loss.
· Severance Cost: Reflects the add-back of severance costs associated with the job elimination. In September 2006, Kronos restructured and realigned various business units to improve efficiency, which led to 66 position eliminations (33 in service, 26 in sales and 6 in marketing and G&A). In December 2006, the Company reduced 16 heads in its Altitude Division, a division focused on providing industry-specific solutions for the airline sector. In March 2007, the Company eliminated 45 positions in the profession services group.
· Wage Savings: Refers to wage savings arising from the Company’s restructuring and realignment initiative (see above), which took place in FYE 2006 and FYE 2007. The add-backs are taken net of any EBITDA that would have otherwise been contributed by the employees affected by the restructuring cuts. In addition, during FYE 2006, the Company eliminated the Service Account Management Program (“AMO”). The AMO program was a customer service group that interacted with clients. Kronos has reallocated the duties of this division and eliminated 26 people. The adjustments reflect the cost savings from the headcount elimination, net of any additional costs due to reallocation of services.
· Pro Forma Unicru Adjustment: Reflects the additional EBITDA the Company would have received from Unicru had it acquired the business at the beginning of the fiscal year. In reality, Kronos acquired Unicru in August 2006, during Kronos’ fiscal fourth quarter.
· Public Company Cost Savings: Reflects certain costs related to operating a public company, such as maintaining compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and with the SEC, filing fees/dues, costs associated with investor relations and increased Directors & Officers insurance as a result of being a public company, which will no longer be incurred by the Company.
