ITEM 2.02    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

In its press release dated February 10, 2011, the Registrant used a non-GAAP financial measure in the form of EBITDA:

EBITDA, is defined as net income, plus income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. In our presentation of EBITDA, as adjusted, we add back the charge taken in connection with the inventory write down to market value since we value our inventory at the lower of cost or market (LCM). EBITDA and EDITDA, as adjusted, are not intended to represent cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing or cash flows from financing activities as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as indicative of operating performance. EBITDA and EDITDA, as adjusted, are included because we believe that investors find it a useful tool for measuring our ability to service our debt.

EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, are reconciled to cash flows provided by operating activities, the most comparable measure under generally accepted accounting principles as follows:
