SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Reconciliations of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA We define EBITDA as earnings (income (loss) from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, senior management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure operational and management performance. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate supplemental financial measures to be considered in addition to the reported GAAP basis financial information which may assist investors in evaluating and understanding: (1) the performance of the Reis Services segment, the primary business of the Company and (2) the Company s continuing consolidated results, from year to year or period to period, as applicable. Further, these measures provide the reader with the ability to understand our operational performance while isolating noncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as other non-operating items, such as interest income, interest expense and income taxes and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, isolates non-cash charges for stock based compensation. Management also believes that disclosing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA will provide better comparability to other companies in the information services sector. However, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented both for the Reis Services segment and on a consolidated basis. We believe that these metrics, for Reis Services, provide the reader with valuable information for evaluating the financial performance of the core Reis Services business, excluding public company costs, and for making assessments about the intrinsic value of that stand-alone business to a potential acquirer. Management primarily monitors and measures its performance, and is compensated, based on the results of the Reis Services segment. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, on a consolidated basis, allow the reader to make assessments about the current trading value of the Company s common stock, including expenses related to operating as a public company. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for net income (loss), income from continuing operations, operating income, or any other measure for determining operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, income from continuing operations, follow for each identified period on a segment basis (including the Reis Services segment), as well as on a consolidated basis: (amounts in thousands) Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA and By Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Reis Services Other (A) Consolidated Income from continuing operations... $ 1,604 Income tax expense... 987 Income (loss) before income taxes and discontinued operations... $ 3,880 $ (1,289) 2,591 Add back: Depreciation and amortization expense... 1,489 2 1,491 Interest expense (income), net... 13 13 EBITDA... 5,382 (1,287) 4,095 Add back: Stock based compensation expense, net... 534 534 Adjusted EBITDA... $ 5,382 $ (753) $ 4,629 Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 By Segment Reis Services Other (A) Consolidated Income from continuing operations... $ 1,293 Income tax expense... 794 Income (loss) before income taxes and discontinued operations... $ 3,248 $ (1,161) 2,087 Add back: Depreciation and amortization expense... 1,325 2 1,327 Interest expense (income), net... 21 21 EBITDA... 4,594 (1,159) 3,435 Add back: Stock based compensation expense... 446 446 Adjusted EBITDA... $ 4,594 $ (713) $ 3,881 See footnotes on next page. i

Since the reconciliations start with income from continuing operations, the effects of the discontinued operations are excluded from these reconciliations for all periods presented. Deferred Revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract Two additional metrics management utilizes are deferred revenue and Aggregate Revenue Under Contract. Analyzing these amounts can provide additional insight into Reis Services s future financial performance. Deferred revenue, which is a GAAP basis accounting concept and is reported by the Company on the consolidated balance sheet, represents revenue from annual or longer term contracts for which we have billed and/or received payments from our subscribers related to services we will be providing over the remaining contract period. It does not include future revenue under non-cancellable contracts for which we do not yet have the contractual right to bill; this aggregate number we refer to as Aggregate Revenue Under Contract. Deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue ratably over the remaining life of a contract for subscriptions, or in the case of future custom reports or projects, will be recognized as revenue upon completion and delivery to the customer, provided no significant Company obligations remain. The following table reconciles deferred revenue to Aggregate Revenue Under Contract at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Deferred revenue (GAAP basis)... $ 22,268,000 $ 25,291,000 Amounts under non-cancellable contracts for which the Company does not yet have the contractual right to bill at the period end (A)... 22,994,000 22,723,000 Aggregate Revenue Under Contract... $ 45,262,000 $ 48,014,000 (A) Amounts are billable subsequent to March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and represent (i) non-cancellable contracts for subscribers with multi-year subscriptions where the future years are not yet billable, or (ii) subscribers with non-cancellable annual subscriptions with interim billing terms. ii
