Note (1) Adjusted EBITDA ------------------- Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense as well as any realized foreign currency translation losses or gains. Burntsand uses Adjusted EBITDA, amongst other measures, to assess the operating performance of its on-going businesses. The term Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as the equivalent of net cash flows from operating activities. The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Net income (loss) for the period $ (140,446) $ 216,821 $ (393,841) $ (234,810) Amortization of capital assets and intangibles 61,196 78,554 202,769 249,097 Interest and investment income (6,062) (13,908) (21,728) (54,477) Interest expense and financing costs 4,307 10,260 44,600 28,216 Income tax expense - 13,477 - 38,674 --------------------------- --------------------------- Standardized EBITDA (81,005) 305,204 (168,200) 26,700 Realized currency translation loss - - 53,550 - Stock-based compensation 33,867 44,949 93,745 126,374 --------------------------- --------------------------- Adjusted EBITDA (loss) $ (47,138) $ 350,153 $ (20,905) $ 153,074 --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- BURNTSAND INC.
