“In our social bingo business, the third quarter saw Trophy Bingo’s launch in the Google Play Store for Android devices worldwide.  Since the close of the third quarter, Trophy Bingo has also launched in the Apple App Store and the game remains in a period of live development and tuning as we prepare for large scale marketing efforts once our performance metrics reach our target levels.  We anticipate increased revenues from Trophy Bingo each month with the major global campaigns commencing in early 2015.”

The increase in operating expenses, compared to the second quarter of 2014, is due to increase in Trophy Bingo development expenses. The increase in operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2013 is due to the Company ceasing to capitalize the development of Trophy Bingo and commenced expensing the current development costs in 2014.

Sales and marketing expenses were $180,319 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of 61% over expenses of $462,974 in the third quarter of 2013 and a decrease of 12% from expenses of $205,825 in the second quarter of 2014. Sales and marketing expenses principally include costs for television marketing, Search Engine Optimization expenses, prizes for our players and other bonuses and incentives offered to gaming players. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to the third quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2014 is due to a larger media budget in the third quarter of 2013 and second quarter of 2014 to drive additional players to the website.
