EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization.�� Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and is adjusted for other non-recurring
items and non-cash items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a non-IFRS
financial measures and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed
by International Financial Reporting Standards and, therefore, may not
to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.��
Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful
supplemental measures, which provides an indication of the results
generated by Circa's primary business activities prior to consideration
of how those activities are financed, amortized or taxed.�� Readers are
cautioned, however, that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an alternative to comprehensive income (loss) determined
in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's financial
performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated by the Company
as follows:

Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 2012 were consistent at $5.9
million compared to the same period in 2011. Sales in both divisions
were consistent, despite month to month volatility in sales. Telecom
segment sales were $2.5 million and Circa Metals' sales were $3.3
million in each of Q3 2012 and Q3��2011.
The Company's earnings increased significantly in the quarter when
compared to the prior year due to operational efficiencies.�� The
Company was able to improve productivity and efficiencies and, in turn,
reduce its direct labour costs which resulted in higher gross margins
and operating margins.�� The Company posted after tax profit of $84,000
for the quarter compared to after tax loss of $77,000 reported in 2011.
The Company was able to generate positive EBITDA of $210,000 for the
quarter and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.��
This cash flow allowed the Company to eliminate its operating line of
credit during the 2012 fiscal year.
Ivan Smith, Circa's President and Chief Executive officer, stated:
"The third quarter 2012 financial results are an improvement over the
results achieved over the third quarter of 2011.�� The Company is
continuing to achieve stronger margins as a result of efficiency and
productivity improvements in its operations.�� This has reduced costs
and improved profitability compared to the prior year.
The Company's balance sheet is strong and the business is stable.�� We
are continuing to pursue new opportunities to grow top line revenue.��
In the coming year, we will continue to concentrate our efforts towards
revenue growth, efficient operations and improving on our financial
results for our shareholders."
