<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">In addition to the results provided
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) throughout this press release, Live Ventures has provided
a non-GAAP measurement of EBITDA. We have included EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors
to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short-
and long-term operational plans. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding
and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. EBITDA is reconciled from the
respective measure under GAAP in the attached table &ldquo;Non-GAAP Reconciliation.&rdquo;</P>
