(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense,
    income taxes, depreciation, amortization, ESOP expense, gain on
    sales of assets, refinancing transaction costs, minority
    interests, and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is
    commonly used by lenders and investors to assess leverage
    capacity, debt service ability and liquidity. Many of Triad's debt
    covenants use adjusted EBITDA, or a modification of adjusted
    EBITDA, in financial covenant calculations. Adjusted EBITDA is
    used by management to evaluate financial performance and resource
    allocation for each facility and for Triad as a whole. Adjusted
    EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of financial
    performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and
    items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in
    understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA
    should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net
    income, cash flows generated by operating, investing, or financing
    activities or other financial statement data presented in the
    consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial
    performance or liquidity. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a
    measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying
    calculations, adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable
    to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
