Our alOt live user base grew and search queries increased 15% in Tier 1 markets as we added new users in Tier 1 markets while expanding marketing efforts in 7 new countries. Our Partner Programs segment experienced rapid development, growing both in revenue and gross profit. Going forward, we plan to continue these operational improvements and generate increased revenue through initiatives, such as dual-display advertising, that have already contributed to our preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $4.6 million for the month of July.”

Revenue from the Publisher Network segment decreased 40.4% to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.

Reconciliation of Net Loss from Continuing Operations to Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), our earnings release contains the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted EBITDA.”
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing companies in the Company’s industry in areas of operating performance.
Management believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP net loss, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations plus (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock based payments, and (v) indirect costs incurred during the merger with Vertro. These further adjustments are itemized above. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in the presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
