UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
(dollars in thousands)

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other non-operating income (expense), such as acquisition charges, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates and gain or loss on the disposition of assets.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe that they are widely utilized by, and are presented to assist, investors in understanding the Company’s performance and operating results.  While we believe certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA may be recurring in nature and should not be disregarded in evaluation of the Company’s performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing current results and trends compared to other periods because these items can vary significantly depending on specific underlying transactions or events that may not be comparable between the periods presented.  Also, we believe excluded items may not relate specifically to current operating trends or be indicative of future results.  Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income under GAAP for purposes of evaluating the Company’s results of operations.  The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financials measures presented by other issuers.  Therefore, comparability may be limited.

The reconciliation between net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company on a consolidated basis is as follows for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):
