Financial Discussion
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were approximately $4.13 million representing a 1.6% sequential increase compared to revenues of approximately $4.07 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Although the current second quarter revenues declined from the comparable prior fiscal year period, Onstream recorded an approximately $114,000, or 8.5%, net increase in webcasting division revenues in the current second quarter over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Onstream also recorded an approximately $44,000, or 9.3%, net increase in DMSP and hosting division revenues in the current second quarter over the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This increase in DMSP and hosting division revenues included an approximately $27,000 increase in DMSP “Store and Stream” and “Streaming Publisher” revenues and an approximately $17,000 increase in hosting and bandwidth charges to certain larger DMSP customers serviced by the Smart Encoding division. Accordingly, revenues of the Digital Media Services Group, which includes webcasting as well as DMSP and hosting, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 exceeded those revenues for the same period last fiscal year.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were approximately $3.7 million, down 22.7% from the approximately $4.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the $540,000 charge for the write off of deferred acquisition costs that impacted the prior fiscal year second quarter. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense and compensation expense each also decreased by approximately $369,000 and $329,000, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to those expenses for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Effective October 1, 2009, a significant portion of our workforce, including all of management, took a 10% payroll reduction, which management expects will be maintained until increased revenue levels result in positive cash flow. This action, as well as payroll cost reduction actions undertaken primarily during February and March 2009, represent anticipated compensation expense reductions of approximately $1.3 million for fiscal 2010, as compared to fiscal 2009, and are the primary reason for the decreased compensation expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
The consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $(1.3) million, or $(0.17) loss per share (based on 7.6 million weighted average shares outstanding, after restatement for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split), as compared to a loss of approximately $(1.9) million, or $(0.27) loss per share (based on 7.2 million weighted average shares outstanding, after restatement for the 1-for-6 reverse stock split) for the prior fiscal year second quarter. The $1.3 million net loss included approximately $927,000 of non-cash expenses, resulting in cash used in operations (before changes in current assets and liabilities) of approximately $333,000.
Operating cash flow reported for this quarter, as compared to the first quarter of the fiscal year, was adversely affected by several items. Those items included a $49,000 increase in the accrual for unused vacation time, which did not represent an actual cash outlay by the Company. They also included $66,000 for increased legal fees, $50,000 for increased FICA taxes due to the start of a new calendar year and $46,000 for the costs of our March 25 annual meeting.
Onstream’s cash balance was approximately $710,000 as of March 31, 2010. The Company obtained $750,000 in new financing via subordinated convertible notes during the quarter as well as an additional $250,000 in May, via a subordinated convertible note.
Outlook
Randy Selman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Onstream Media, commented, “Our confidence in our MarketPlace365 platform was reinforced during the quarter, as we signed a number of promoter and agent agreements and began discussions with other potential promoters, partners and resellers for our new platform. It is increasingly clear that MarketPlace365 is being recognized as a compelling offering for virtual trade show producers, publishers and associations. We are increasingly optimistic about the potential of this product offering and believe Marketplace365 will become a growth catalyst for us, starting this year.”
“Based on the industry acceptance we have already received for our MarketPlace365 platform and the pipeline of opportunities we have already in place, as well as the increasing sales of our current products, we are reiterating our expectation of continued sequential revenue growth throughout the remainder of fiscal 2010,” concluded Mr. Selman. “We believe that if we achieve these increased revenues, as well as realize our expectations of decreased costs for the second half of the fiscal year as compared to the first half, we could return to cash flow positive status (from operations, before changes in current assets and liabilities) by the end of the fiscal year.”
