| (1) | The term Direct Contribution Margin consists of revenue less direct expenses and excludes general and administrative expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, interest and loan costs, (gain) loss on change on fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (benefit). DCM, as referred to in this news release, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that this term provides a better assessment of the contribution of the field operations dealing directly with its customers subscribers by eliminating: (1) the general and administrative costs that are not part of the direct costs of generating revenue; (2) the charge for customer contracts and depreciation which are non-cash expense items; and (3) (gain) loss on sale of investments and assets, (gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. Investors should be cautioned, however, that DCM should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Companys performance. |

| (2) | The term EBITDA from continuing operations refers to loss from continuing operations before deducting depreciation, amortization of customer contracts, (gain) loss in sale of investments and assets, interest and loan fees, (gain) loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, other expense, and income tax expense (benefit). EBITDA from continuing operations, as referred to in this news release, is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that EBITDA from continuing operations provides a better assessment of cash flow from the operations of the Company by eliminating: (1) the charge for depreciation, and amortization of customer contracts which are non-cash expense items and (2) (gain) loss on sale of assets, (gain) loss on change in fair market value of derivative liabilities, gain on extinguishment of debt, and other expense, which are not considered to be in the normal course of operating activity. In addition, financial analysts and investors use a multiple of EBITDA from continuing operations for valuing companies within the same sector, in order to eliminate the differences in accounting treatment from one company to the next. Given that the Company is in a growth stage, management believes the focus on EBITDA from continuing operations gives the investor or reader of the consolidated financial statements and MD&A more insight into the operating capabilities of management and its utilization of its operating assets. Management further believes that EBITDA from continuing operations is also the best metric for measuring valuation. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to income (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Companys performance. |
