(*) Adjusted EBITDA is presented and discussed herein because management believes it enhances understanding by investors and lenders of the Company’s
financial performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure computed in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly it does not represent cash flow from operations, nor
is it intended to be presented herein as a substitute for operating income or net income as indicators of the Company’s operating performance.  Adjusted EBITDA
is the primary performance measurement used by senior management and our Board of Directors to evaluate operating results of, and to allocate capital
resources between, our  business segments.  We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), which is
then adjusted to remove or add back certain items.  The items removed or added back have historically consisted of items we consider to be non-recurring in
nature and which we believe distort comparability between periods.  There were no such items identified in the Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income
for the periods presented above. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from calculations used by other companies; therefore, it may not be
comparable to other companies.
