Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On July 22, 2004, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Inc. issued a press release regarding its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004. Included in the press release is a calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Management of the Company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for comparing the Company’s operating results with the operating results of other companies in the childcare industry. We have provided EBITDA in previous earnings releases and believe that providing it now aids investors when they are comparing prior periods. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating our results of operations. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
