VANCOUVER, April 15 /CNW/ - Destiny Media Technologies (TSXV: DSY)
(OTCBB: DSNY) is pleased to announce results for the quarter ending
February 28, 2011.
Revenues of $841,072 were down 3.3% from the prior year due primarily to
a 2.5% decline in Play MPE® revenues. Expenses of $903,237 were up
16.9% over the prior year, due mainly to a 29.7% increased investment
in R&D. The net loss for the quarter was $43,027.
Commenting on the results, company CEO Steve Vestergaard says that the
emphasis for the seasonally slow quarter was building the foundation
for rapid international Play MPE® growth and readying new watermarking
and Clipstream® services for launch.
"We anticipate returning to profitability and continued growth in Q3.
We are currently looking to expand our penetration into major markets
in Europe and Asia and expect to see continued growth in revenue in
those areas over the coming quarters.
R&D efforts have focused on improving speed, reliability and redundancy
across the four server facilities in Europe and North America,
integrating with partner networks and building out new versions of the
software and ancillary services, such our patent pending online
watermarking solution. We've continued to de-emphasize legacy
Clipstream® licensing in favor of building out two new higher margin
service based Clipstream® offerings, which will be launching this
year."
