EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest on promissory notes payable, interest on loan payable, income tax expense, depreciation and the items used to reconcile GAAP to adjusted non-GAAP financial measures, including (1) change in fair value of conversion option derivative liability, (2) amortization of discount on promissory notes payable, (3) accruals for Board Stock-based compensation, (4) stock-based compensation - (vested restricted common stock), (5) allowance for doubtful accounts, (6) warranty provision, (7) recovery on disposal of inventory, (8) gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and (9) loss on write down of inventory. We disclose EBITDA as a supplemental non-GAAP financial performance measure as we believe it is a useful metric by which to compare the performance of our business from period to period. We understand that measures similar to EBITDA are broadly used by analysts, rating agencies and investors in assessing our performance. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information to investors.
EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, net income, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, EBITDA is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This adjusted non-GAAP measure has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated our results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, any financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA as defined herein may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA, as well as other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements filed with the SEC.
