Reconciliation of loss from Continuing Operations 18 Before Taxes & Adjusted EBITDA In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this presentation contains the non- GAAP financial measure "Adjusted EBITDA." We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation, (iii) amortization, and (iv) stock-based compensation. These further adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non- recurring items. Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional view of the Company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP net (loss) income, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company's business. TTM June 2018 Loss from continuing operations before taxes ($3,729,895) Interest expense, net $398,034 Depreciation $1,718,296 Amortization $1,453,698 EBITDA ($159,868) Stock-based compensation $1,361,445 Adjusted EBITDA $1,201,577
