"In the second quarter, we focused on translating our pilot program and product development advancements into preparation for commercial launch of our new platform. Engagement metrics from our pilot program have given us encouragement about the pending launch of our new Buzztime BEOND platform. We believe Buzztime BEOND, or buzztime entertainment on demand, is a best of breed platform which should attract bars and restaurants looking for technology-driven solutions to their entertainment and marketing needs," said Mr. Berg, the Company's interim CEO.  "On a financial note, we reduced our cash burn while at the same time spending aggressively against product, platform and the plan to launch them.  On that note, our year over year EBITDA swing was a positive $500,000 and $1.2 million for the quarter and first half, respectively," added Mr. Berg. 

Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2013

Revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $5.5 million compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2012.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 73% for the second quarter of 2013 from 74% for the same period of 2012. Direct costs decreased $0.1 million, or 4%, to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $1.6 million for the same period of 2012. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 19%, to $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 from $4.9 million for the same period in 2012 primarily related to reduced payroll and related expenses.  

Net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to net loss of $0.6 million or $0.01 per share in the same period a year ago.

The Company ended the second quarter of 2013 with 3,352 subscribing venues, compared to 3,775 at June 30, 2012.

EBITDA

A schedule reconciling the Company's consolidated net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the supplemental table below. EBITDA is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, nor should EBITDA be considered as an alternative to statements of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included herein because the Company believes it is a measure of operating performance that financial analysts, lenders, investors and other interested parties find to be a useful tool for analyzing companies like Buzztime that carry significant levels of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges in comparison to their net income or loss calculation in accordance with GAAP.
