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:
