Certain statements in this presentation and responses to various questions may contain forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,”
“seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements
are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties,
risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these
forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future
performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forwardlooking statements include changes in the public’s approach to social networking needs, competition, our ability to
continue to enrich our website to attract users, unanticipated failure to reach our users, our users willingness to
use the games and purchase enhancements, currency fluctuations, our ability to hedge risks, the development of
payment systems outside of the U.S. and unanticipated factors which cause us not to collect our accounts
receivable.
Further information on the Company’s risk factors is contained in its filings with the SEC, including the Form S-1
dated December 29, 2010. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this presentation speaks only
as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from
time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

QPSA 29
EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated and
presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income, operating
income or any other financial measures so calculated
and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from
operating activities as a measure of the company’s
liquidity. Quepasa Corporation defines EBITDA as
earnings (or loss) before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, including
amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation.
Other companies (including the company’s competitors)
may define EBITDA differently. Quepasa presents EBITDA
because it believes it to be an important supplemental
measure of performance that is commonly used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested
parties in the evaluation of companies in a similar
industry. Management also uses this information
internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be
indicative of the historical operating results of Quepasa
nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future
results. Investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation
or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported
under GAAP. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss)
to EBITDA (Loss)” in the chart to the right for further
information on this non-GAAP measure and
reconciliation of GAAP Income (Loss) to EBITDA (Loss)
for the periods indicated.
