ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On June 15, 2004, Vermont Pure Holdings, Ltd. issued the press release
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release
includes the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA which represents earnings
before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included
because management believes it is a useful tool for investors to assess the
operating performance of the business in comparison to other businesses in the
industry. In addition, EBITDA is a measure used to calculate one of the
financial covenants for compliance with the Company's senior debt facility.
Management believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is
net income.
