Additional depreciation due to the purchase of Cadillac Ranch assets, expenses related to pre-opening costs, and costs related to the Cadillac Ranch asset acquisitions totaled approximately $2.4 million, thus affecting our net income in the first three quarters of 2012. Net loss per share available to common shareholders was $(0.64) and $(1.39) for the first three quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net loss per share available to common shareholders in the first three quarters of 2012 included $(0.10) attributable to declared dividends.

Outlook

Guidance for fiscal year 2012 is as follows:

• Net sales are anticipated to be between $115 million and $125 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $7 million and $8 million. As the reconciliation table below indicates, we derive EBITDA by adding back the following items to operating loss: net interest expense, non cash compensation, disposal and exit activities and any related gain or (loss), depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs and any provision for income taxes. Due to the company having many capital leases, we further reduce EBITDA for the difference between the fixed rent recorded and the actual amount paid for rent expense to generate Adjusted EBITDA.
