Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Capstone Financial Group, Inc. prepares its condensed financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDA, which adjusts net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP.  However, EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the company's operating performance.  Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers investors an additional view of the company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.  EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity.  A reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
