ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On July 26, 2005, Talk America Holdings, Inc. issued a release announcing its financial results for the second quarter 2005. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Non-GAAP Measures

The release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report includes a reference to non-GAAP financial information. Our management believes that EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating financial performance and is a financial measure that is commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing financial performance. Our management uses EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and is readily determinable from amounts provided in our consolidated statements of operations.

It is our management's intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our GAAP financial results. This information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
