The Company expects to meet the continued listing standards of the NYSE American Company Guide relating to a minimum stockholders' equity balance of $6.0 million following filing of the Company's 2017 Form 10-K in March 2018 (as the Company must report two consecutive quarters of being in compliance with such standards).

Closed October 2017 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Offering

"The market for all forms of conferencing and collaboration is rapidly evolving. While demand for remote access to colleagues, clients and partners is clearly increasing, the means by which we do so is expanding and more diverse than ever," said Glowpoint President and CEO Peter Holst. "With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company is now developing new services that extend its mastery of video conferencing into a broader support platform with the goal of accelerating end user adoption of UC¹ applications. According to Wainhouse Research², the 2016 UCaaS³ market was $6 billion, and is projected to grow to $14 billion in 2021 – a 5 year CAGR of 18%. There were 133 million UCaaS seats in 2016 – projected to grow to 343 million in 2021 but only an estimated 18% were actively used for UC. Given the growing market opportunity for end user adoption, the Company intends to release a subset of new services in the first half of 2018 to a select group of current and prospective customers who want to accelerate user transformation quickly and efficiently as they move to cloud services. We look forward to working with our customers and partners as they look to more effectively migrate and adopt next generation collaboration services."

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, taxes, stock-based compensation and stock-based expense, impairment charges, and interest and other income (expense), net. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rather, Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and is used in the calculation of financial covenants in the Company's loan agreements. Adjusted EBITDA as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is shown in the attached schedules.
