The decrease in operating expenses, compared to the first quarter of 2014, is due to a reduced media budget in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the larger media expenditures in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company ceased to capitalize the development of Trophy Bingo and commenced expensing the current development costs. Therefore, this increased the operating costs in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. The Company provided cash of $124,241 in operating activities compared to using cash of ($298,623) in the first quarter of 2014 by improving its collections and payable timings.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013 is due to a larger media budget in the in the first quarter of 2014 and the  second quarter of 2013 which was designed to drive additional players to the website and to expand into new European markets.
