    USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IF RSand may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management defines adjusted EBITDA as loss andcomprehensive loss from operations, as reported, before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted for removing share-based payments, unrealized gains and losses from short term investments and other one-time and non-cash items includingimpairment losses. Management believes adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on anadjusted basis as described above. A description of these financial measures, including a reconciliation of such measures, to the extentpossible, against the most directly comparable I F RS measure, can be found on page 11 of the management’s discussion and analysis ofthe Company for the three and six months period ended May 31, 2020.
