Management of the Enterprise uses EBITDA as one measure of financial performance and operational efficiency. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash expenses Noun 1. non-cash expense - an expense (such as depreciation) that is not paid for in cash

 and certain non-recurring items. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2004, the only non-recurring item was the loss on disposal of the Enterprise's aircraft. EBITDA is presented because management believes it is widely used as a measure of operating performance in the gaming industry. EBITDA is not a measure under generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.
