We have included EBITDA data because management believes that this measure is useful to an investor in evaluating our ability to service debt and to assess our earnings ability. However, these items should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for net income, cash flows from (used in) operating activities or other statement of operations or cash flows data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of cash flows from (used in) operating activities to net loss and EBITDA is provided in the tables accompanying this press release. -Tables to Follow- 5 THE SPORTS CLUB COMPANY, INC.
