3. Definition of Adjusted EBITDA During this Conference Call you may hear us refer to Adjusted EBITDA. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a key metric to measure our performance. It is a financial statement measure that was not derived in accordance with GAAP. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA the company excludes the largest recurring non-cash charge, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a core operational performance measurement that compares results without the need to adjust for Federal, state and local taxes, which have considerable variation between domestic jurisdictions.  Also, the company excludes interest cost in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The results are, therefore, without consideration of financing alternatives of capital employed. The company uses Adjusted EBITDA as one guideline to assess unleveraged performance return on investments. Adjusted EBITDA is also the target benchmark for acquisitions of nightclubs.
