Analyst · IRS in connection with our IRS solvent
Thank you Steve. As was mentioned the majority of our decrease in revenue from 19.37 to 17.448 million is related to a decrease in the principal collected and our accounts receivable balance was decreased approximately 1.8 million to 4.6 million in the current quarter, compared to 6.4 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, this equates to 27% of StoresOnline revenue in the current quarter compared to 33% in the prior year quarter. In December 2008, when we reduced our number of workshop teams from six to four, we realized an immediate pickup in revenue and profitability as a percentage of revenue related to the collection of our receivables increased dramatically. Incidentally this revenue has relatively little cost associated with it as the costs were recognized at the time of the event with very little cost recognized at the time of collection which triggers the recognition of revenue. Over the past 18 months, since we made the reduction in teams, our revenue related to principal collection on receivables has decreased from 7.9 million in the March 2009 quarter to 4.6 million in this current quarter. With that said, our quarter-over-quarter amounts have began to stabilize as we have gone from 5.2 million in December 2009 quarter to 4.8 million in the March quarter, settling in at 4.6 million this quarter. We expect the revenue related to principal collected on our receivables balance to continue near its current levels in the near term assuming of course the collection levels remain consistent. StoresOnline revenue related to our events in this quarter decreased approximately 5% to 9.1 million, compared to 9.6 million in the prior year, despite a 12% reduction in number of events as we were able to close a higher percentage of our attendees this year than we did last year. Now, I would like to expand a little on our plans to move from the sale of our traditional software license to a Software-as-a-Services model, with recurring monthly subscription, and how it will affect our revenue in the near-term. When we started testing this model in January of this year, we knew that we could not make the change to a SaaS offering unless we were able to generate a comparable amount of revenue at our events as we have under the software license model due to the significant marketing investment required to conduct these types of events. Realizing that, we've been working over the past six months to developing an offer, focused more on the training aspect of our services, which includes training on how to effectively design and market your site, not only to increase the traffic to your site, but also to increase the conversion of that traffic once the visitors get to your site. The results of this effort have been encouraging as we've been able to approximate the average sales price of our traditional license events and our SaaS events. While we are not prepared to transition all of our teams to the SaaS offer at this point in time, we do feel comfortable transitioning a second team to the SaaS offer and expect a transition of all of our teams to the SaaS offer by the first quarter of 2011. We believe this transition will give us more flexibility and how we fill our events, in addition to the potential additional sales channel that Steve spoke of earlier. As Steve mentioned, our Crexendo Web Marketing Services revenue increased 50% quarter-over-quarter, up to 365,000 from 242 in the March quarter. As we increased our investment in direct sales personnel on this division, we may see a decrease in our short-term profitability, either a new higher scale up to speed. However, we believe this short-term investment will pay dividends in the future. Operating loss from our Crexendo Web Marketing Services division was 443,000 during the current quarter, compared to 235,000 in the prior year quarter. Operating loss from our telecom division was 339,000 in the current quarter, compared to 186,000 in the prior year quarter. From a cash flow perspective, we generated approximately 467,000 in cash from operations for this quarter, compared to a use of 126,000 in the prior year quarter. During the quarter, we purchased 54,806 shares of stock at an average price of $4.69. We also acquired an approximately 22,000 square foot building in Tempe, Arizona for 1.5 million to $5 million. This building will serve as our corporate headquarters as well as the headquarters for our telecom division. As of June 30, 2010 cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash was 19.5 million. Working capital was 14.8 million and working capital, excluding deferred revenue was 28.3 million. Total current long-term net trade receivables were 19.2 million at June 30, 2010. As we discussed in our last earnings call, we've experienced -- we've continued to experience slight deterioration in our accounts receivables. The deterioration continues to slow from a velocity perspective, and while we haven't reached the bottom yet, we believe we are nearing it, and we are comfortable with the allowance we have set. At this point in time, I'll turn it back to you, Steve.
