Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this
statement. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed
with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations,
provides useful information about our period-over-period results.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it
provides additional information with respect to the performance of
our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the
evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA
as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance
of our company and our management team in connection with our
executive compensation. These non-GAAP key business indicators,
which include Adjusted EBITDA, should not be considered
replacements for and should be read in conjunction with the GAAP
financial measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to
exclude: (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision
(benefit) for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5)
stock--based expense from options and warrants and (6) certain
other items management believes affect the comparability of
operating results. Please see "Adjusted EBITDA" below for more
information and for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net
income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

(1) In July 2011 we filed our first registration statement on
Form S-1. From July 2011 through August 2012 we continued to update
and amend Form S-1. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012 we
determined that it is likely that our IPO will be postponed for a
period in excess of 90 days and as a result deemed it to be an
aborted offering in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC
340-10-S99-1. For the three months ending September 30, 2012, we
expensed previously deferred IPO costs of $2.3 million associated
with our registration statement on Form S-1 as well as any IPO
costs incurred in the third quarter to selling, general and
administrative expenses. The total amount of the expense for the
year was $2.6 million.

Payment processing services revenue(9) $ 16,752,616 $ 14,770,926

Settled dollar volume processed(11) $ 4,408,689,654 $ 3,485,989,256
(1) Represents gross foreign currency mark-up plus payment processing services revenue.
(2) Represents total settled dollar volume processed through
both our multi-currency and payment processing services.
(3) We consider a merchant location to be active as of a date if
the merchant completed at least one revenue-generating transaction
at the location during the 90-day period ending on such date. The
total number of active merchant locations exceeds the total number
of merchants, as merchants may have multiple locations. As of
December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 23 and 18 active merchant
locations, respectively, included in both multi-currency and
payment processing active merchant locations but are not included
in total active merchant locations, in order to eliminate counting
these locations twice.
(4) Represents total settled transactions (excluding other
transaction types such as authorizations and rate look-ups).
(5) Represents settled transactions processed using our
multi-currency processing services (excluding other transaction
types such as authorizations and rate look-ups).
(6) Represents the gross foreign currency mark-up amount on
settled dollar volume processed using our multi-currency processing
services. Gross foreign currency mark-up represents multi-currency
processing services net revenue plus amounts paid to acquiring
banks and their merchants associated with such multi-currency
processing transactions. Management believes this metric is
relevant because it provides the reader an indication of the gross
mark-up derived from multi-currency transactions processed through
our platform during a given period.
(7) Represents the total settled dollar volume processed using
our multi-currency processing services.
(8) Represents the average net mark-up percentage earned on
settled dollar volume processed using our multi-currency processing
services. The average net mark-up percentage on settled dollar
volume processed is calculated by taking the reported total
multi-currency processing services net revenue ($29.8 million, and
$28.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012,
respectively) and dividing by settled dollar volume processed.
(9) Represents revenue earned and reported on payment processing services.
(10) Represents settled transactions processed using our payment
processing services (excluding other transaction types such as
authorizations and rate look-ups).
(11) Represents the total settled dollar volume processed using
our payment processing services.
