EXO U had $503,189 of revenue in the first quarter ended June 30, 2014 versus $73,307 reported in the same period last year. The revenue represented a portion of the digital classrooms delivered in the quarter to Panama. The Company also reported deferred revenue in the quarter of $312,734.

Research and development ("R&D") expense was $504,703 for the first quarter, an increase of $280,991 from the same period last year. The Company has increased its R&D activity as it drives its product development.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the first quarter were $1,101,416, up $644,399 from that incurred in the same period last year. The increase is due to the hiring of new staff, business development and the establishment of the Palo Alto, California facility.

Stock based compensation in the first quarter increased year over year from $50,352 to $299,375, reflecting the issuance of stock options to the growing employee base.

Adjusted negative EBITDA was $1,135,747 in the first quarter, compared to negative $562,173 in the same period last year. Of note, the Adjusted negative EBITDA in the quarter was $206,946 lower than that incurred in the fourth quarter of last year. This was largely due to the margin recorded on the revenues as well as continued focus on the spending base.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of $9,575,510 which is an increase of $2,589,055 from the position it had as at March 31, 2014. The cash generated from the exercising of warrants and stock options was partly offset by the cash used in operations.
