Use of Non-GAAP Measures

NAV (net asset value per share) is a non-GAAP (international financial reporting
standards) measure calculated as the value of total assets less the value of
total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at
a specific date. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according
to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by
other companies. There is no comparable GAAP measure presented in Pinetree's
consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative
reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has calculated
NAV consistently for many years and believes that NAV can provide information
useful to its shareholders in understanding its performance, and may assist in
the evaluation of its business relative to that of its peers.
