(1) EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
    amortization.

(2) EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS. However, management
    believes that EBITDA as herein defined is a useful supplemental measure
    to net income (loss), as it provides investors with an indication of
    cash earnings prior to debt service, capital expenditures, income taxes
    and other non-cash items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that
    EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss)
    determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's
    performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing
    activities as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. The Company's
    method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods by which other
    companies calculate EBITDA and, accordingly, the EBITDA used herein may
    not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
