LiveWorld Reports First Quarter Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LiveWorld, Inc. (OTC Markets: LVWD), today announced the financial results for the first quarter of 2015. Total revenues were approximately $2.6 million for the first quarter as compared to the approximately $3.3 million in total revenues reported for 2014.

The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of approximately $844,000, or 32% of total revenues. This compares to the net loss of approximately $307,000, or 9% of total revenues, reported for the first quarter of 2014. The loss per share on a fully diluted basis were $(0.03) and $(0.01) for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The company finished the first quarter with approximately $2.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to approximately $4.3 million at the end of the first quarter in 2014. The cash decline was due in part to delays in getting renewals in place and the subsequent billings to clients. We anticipate our cash position to improve in the second quarter of 2015. The Company reported a positive working capital balance of approximately $3.1 million as of March 31, 2015 as compared to the approximately $3.6 million as of March 31, 2014.

“We remain committed to developing products and services which will open up new revenue opportunities to us,” said David Houston Chief Financial Officer of LiveWorld. “The key for us to grow our portfolio of clients is to keep delivering high value marketing and customer support solutions that improve the social customer experience.”
