For the fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2014 revenues from continuing
operations decreased 14.93%. The $31,684 increase in subscription revenue was
due to a new online forum subscription product which was launched in April 2014
that has a recurring monthly charge. The $64,944 decrease in products and
services revenue resulted from a number of offsetting factors. One factor is
that the MagCast Publishing Platform decreased by $141,717 primarily due to a
special promotion that permitted any existing customer to purchase an additional
license in October 2013. This promotion was not repeated in the second quarter
of 2014. This decrease was partially offset by a $10,725 increase in sales of
Market Pro Max, including the Ultimate Product System. The Ultimate Product
System is a training program that includes a lifetime license for one Market Pro
Max marketing web site. There was also an increase in sales of $66,113 from
other products the company has developed including those that increase traffic
to web sites.
For the fiscal six months ending December 31, 2014 revenues from continuing
operations decreased 59.23%. The $61,638 increase in subscription revenue was
due to a new online forum subscription product which was launched in April 2014
and has a recurring monthly charge. The $1,332,671 decrease in products and
services revenue was mainly due to a decrease of $1,430,830 in revenue from the
MagCast Publishing Platform which resulted from a smaller Digital Publish
Blueprint ("DPB") launch promotion in July 2014 than August 2013. This was
partially offset by a $30,689 increase in sales of Market Pro Max including the
Ultimate Product System as described above. There was also an increase in sales
of $67,535 in the sale of other products the company has developed.
According to Ed Dale, 30DC's CEO, "The majority of revenue in the past two years
has come from the sale of Digital Publishing Blueprint ("DPB"), a digital
publishing training program which includes a single lifetime MagCast license.
These were all one-time sales, without a recurring revenue component, and, as a
consequence, the company's sales fluctuated based upon the timing of promotional
launches. DPB was targeted to our historical customer base in Internet
marketing, and a majority of sales were through affiliate relationships."
Ted Greenberg, CFO, added, "To date we have sold in excess of 4,000 licenses,
and customers have published more than 2,000 digital magazine titles. This has
provided us with real-world feedback on our products. DPB provided the capital
for the multiple MagCast platform upgrades to date without the need for outside
capital."
Moving forward, the company is seeking to develop recurring MagCast revenue and
believes our digital publishing products will be attractive to a wider audience
outside of our traditional customer base. Management recently updated and
enhanced its internal growth plan and hopes to begin implementing it in the near
future.
Operating Expenses from continuing operations were $412,620 and $1,050,701
respectively, for the three months and six months ending December 31, 2014,
compared to $613,324 and $1,898,606 for the same periods in the prior fiscal
year. One of the factors contributing to the decrease in operational expenses
during the six month period ending December 2014 was that there was a smaller
DPB launch than during the six month period ending December 2013 with fewer
affiliates participating, which resulted in lower affiliate commission expense
and lower credit card processing fees. Other factors contributing to the
decrease in operational expenses during both the six month and three month
periods ending December 2014, compared to the respective periods in the prior
year, were decreases in the costs of independent contractors,
officers'salariesofficers' salaries and travel expenses.
Net loss was $(218,693) or $(.00) per share and net loss $(187,013) or $(.00)
per share for the second quarter and fiscal six months ending December 31, 2014,
compared to a loss of $(406,292) or $(.00) per share and a gain of $336,546 or
$.00 per share for the same periods of fiscal 2013. The decrease in net income
from continuing operations of $519,444 for the six month period ending December
2014 was due to the decrease in revenue of $1,273,836 offset by the decrease in
operating expenses of $847,905 and forgiveness of debt income of $93,513 in the
six months ending December 2013.
30DC ended December 31, 2014 with $123,102 of cash and $546,823 of shareholders'
equity. The company currently has 76,853,464 common shares outstanding which
reflects the redemption of 10,560,000 shares during the year as part of the
divestiture of the Immediate Edge business in February 2014. Operating results
for the Immediate Edge for all periods reported in the December 2014 10Q and
June 2014 10K have been reclassified to discontinued operations and are not
