Steve Stringer, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "Our second quarter results are a reflection of the recent dramatic changes to the U.S. economy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MTM Technologies believes that EBITDA, which is not a recognized measure for financial presentation under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), provides investors and management with a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance because it more closely approximates the cash generating ability of the Company as compared to operating income (loss). EBITDA excludes the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and other expense. A table reconciling net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the financial statements in this release. EBITDA does not have any standardized definition and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting companies.
