However, EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and does not have a standardized meaning. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

EBITDA is reconciled to net income as follows: Three-Months Ended Nine-Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30, September 30, 2009 2008 2009 2008 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) $ (555,720) $ 565,063 $ (1,299,317) $ 558,392 Interest 574 (13,368) (20,631) (32,940) Taxes (149,000) 346,241 (406,000) 457,502 Amortization 27,697 31,401 71,970 106,432 --------- --------- --------- --------- EBITDA $ (676,449) $ 929,337 $ (1,653,978) $ 1,089,386 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Revenue $ 782,862 $ 2,635,834 $ 2,570,990 $ 7,296,048 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- % -86% 35% -64% 15% --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- About Parlay Entertainment Parlay Entertainment Inc. is one of the pioneers and technology leaders in the online gaming industry.
