Chief Executive Officer, Rodney Schutt, stated, “We started the
quarter off strong with the Health Diagnostics multi-location
order. Since then, our pipeline for new systems sales continues to
expand, however; the Company is experiencing a delay in system
sales closing, likely attributable to the overall paralysis of
capital healthcare IT spending within the industry.” He continued,
“Alternatively, we are seeing an increase in ancillary and upgrade
sales for existing customers. This further demonstrates the
Company’s strong customer following, which provides positive
references for new system prospects.”

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure that
the management of Aspyra believes is useful to investors in
evaluating the Company's results. EBITDA is defined as income
before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation
expense, amortization expense and certain non-cash charges,
specifically Aspyra’s non-cash compensation charges. These items
are not included in EBITDA as management considers the charges to
be items that are not indicative of the performance of its
underlying business. EBITDA is presented because it is commonly
used by certain investors and analysts to evaluate a company's
ability to service debt. However, our method of computation may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. In addition, EBITDA, as defined, is not a measure of
performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
and EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for Net income/(loss), Income/(loss) from operations, Cash flows
from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement
data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of
profitability or liquidity. The most directly comparable financial
measure under GAAP to EBITDA is Income/(loss) from operations.
